What’s up world? After 2 1/2 years of being offline on this blog, I’ve decided to come back to it. The main reason for my inactivity? Laziness. But there were also other reasons (too many to mention without boring my audience). But now, after re-reading my old blog, I’ve regained that sense of fun found […]

Man – what I wouldn’t give to be able to go to Coachella. With a lineup of some of the best bands ever – like The Cure, Radiohead and The Pixies (yes, they’re coming back), this will be two of the best days of live music ever. On another note, Sofia Coppola won for Best […]

We’re currently watching the Oscars, and so far The Lord Of The Rings have nabbed the costume and art direction awards. It looks like it’s going to be a shoo-in for Best Picture, but favorites have lost before. In case they lose though, I hope that my favorite film over the past year, Lost In […]

One of the things I always make sure to buy when I go to Manila is buy new alternative OPM music – lots of it. I’ve always liked listening to Philippine music “on the edge” since the days of WXB102 with the likes of The Dawn, Identity Crisis, Dean’s December, Betrayed, Urban Bandits, and the […]

It’s official – The Lord of the Rings: Return of the King is now my favorite trilogy of all time. Taken as a collective whole, it’s better and more enjoyable than Back To The Future, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, and yes, even the Godfather. Will this set a precedent on how to do trilogies? We […]

Today marks a milestone as my lovely wife turns 30. Like a fine wine though, she just keeps getting better with age. It must be starting to affect her mind a little bit though, as she accidentally placed herself on call today while she was doing the call schedule last month! To my wonderful wife, […]

After a very long and relaxing vacation in Manila, we’re now back here in Pittsburgh. Nothing like being with family and friends during the holidays. For some reason, Christmas and New Year is just so different in the States compared to Manila. There’s just more of that holiday spirit, at least for me, going around […]
