I’ve never met the guy in person, but I really idolized him, way before I bought the iphone where I found about his death or this macbook that I am now typing this blog on. I idolized him the moment I heard his Stanford commencement speech, the one where he said: Sometimes life hits you […]
Babbling About Brains
Memory is a very tricky thing. Especially my own. See, people are usually very amazed at my excellent long term memory. I can recollect scenes from the past quite vividly or remember poems or song lyrics by heart. I can recite quotes from movies or TV shows or books verbatim. I also remember everyone’s birthdays. […]
How to Get Over Someone
It’s not easy to get over someone you love. But if loving him is only hurting you, it’s best to move on. So how do you go about doing that? (1) Wallow. Talk to close friends, let it all out, cry your heart out and let it out of your system. It’s okay to be […]
The Best of GMH
It’s the day before Christmas and while my hamonada is simmering on the stove, I decided to read the best entries of GivesMeHope. These are my favorite ones. Perfect for Christmas mode. At my college graduation everyone is allowed to take a loved one with them as they walk across the stage. The last girl […]
Fortune’s CEO of the Decade: Steve Jobs
The man behind my macbook (and your iphone and your friend’s ipod), Apple’s Steve Jobs, has been named CEO of the decade by Fortune. I’ve idolized the man from the moment I heard his Stanford speech. His whole life is inspiring. Read Fortune’s story on him here.
How to Take Better (or Thinner) Pictures of Yourself
This a funny and informative video that just about covers it all: The video just about tackles it all but I would like to add bits on how to look slim for the camera, which I’m good at. Take a look at this picture of me. I look so slim, no? Everyone says so. But […]
Online Secret Santa
We’re organizing a Christmas party for our friends here in Singapore. One of the agenda is the traditional Kris Kringle or Secret Santa or what we Zamboanguenos call manito-manita. Sending out the invite and getting people’s yes’s was easy enough, thanks to Facebook. My problem as the organizer was how to conduct the picking of […]
Facebook Overload
I read this article about Facebook Addiction. It says that psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage “overtakes” daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the […]
Mac Tools for Videomakers
I am loving the YouTube grabber for Mac. As the name implies, you can use it to grab YouTube videos and download it on your computer. It gets download as an FLV file, but you can use the same software to convert the file to MOV or MP4. I am also loving the iextractmp3 which […]
More Than Just Eye Candied Apple
While I love Alexe, my macbook, I have to admit that I do have some issues with being a Mac owner, since I’ve been a PC user ever since I became computer-literate and have never even touched a Mac before I bought her. I have had to adjust a lot. Like on my keyboard, the […]
