Vacation

I will be taking a much needed rest and the chance to explore and discover the beautiful places in the North. I will be gone for days, away from the city. I wish to lose myself in Sagada’s mystic beauty to forget all the pain and rediscover my self-worth. I pray that the spirits of the mountains will refresh and heal my tired and lonely soul. (Photos by Jay Jallorina)

Another Doll: Mumu

Say Hello to Mumu… I finished this one last night…

Trying New Stuff

I made this one over the weekend. Trying my hands on making plushies. I’m making more…

Boys’ Stuff

I’m currently cleaning up my closet, literally… and I found some of my old stuff like this enormous album of Magic: The Gathering cards all in excellent condition – big thanks to their Ultra Pro sleeves, and a bunch of other boys’ stuff. I’m now posting ‘em online for interested buyers.

If you’re interested, do not hesitate to drop me a line. I’m letting go of all my MTG cards. (UPDATE: I already have a buyer for all the dual land cards so they’re not included here anymore.)

Baguio's Coldest in 23 Years

Baguio City experienced the coldest temperature recorded since January 1986 as it dropped 7.5°C today. The other coldest days here were Feb 28, 1963 (6.7°C); Jan 8, 1986 (6.8°C); Jan 9, 1971 (7.1°C) and Dec 13, 1991 (7.6°C).

We will be experiencing chilly Baguio until February due to the cold front brought about by the northeast monsoon (amihan).

Enjoy the biting cold whilst sipping a hot cup of brewed coffee at Cordillera Coffee where we usually hang out. (Sorry if I haven't posted an episode. I just need to finish some requirements in school so I can take up my Masters in time for June enrolment.)

Torn

For being a good boy last year I’m thinking of rewarding myself (savings not yet enough but I’m almost there). Two months ago I was planning to buy an iPod Classic 12oGB; I checked out some stores and found a PhP12,800 unit (silver). Then I found Microsoft Zune 120 on the internet and now I’m having second thoughts on buying the iPod.Both have the same storage capacity, which is a whopping 120 gigabytes (more than what my PC currently has) which can store tons of media. The iPod is more popular than the Zune but, I think, it’s more of a disadvantage because of the many fake iPods around. One advantage is that Apple has a service center here in RP and the Zune has none. But what I dig about the Zune is the screen – a 3.2-inch display means a more comfortable movie watching experience than on the iPod. The price tag is almost the same although the Zune requires special ordering arrangement since it’s not locally available.

I still have until February to decide.

More info about the iPod Classic may be found at the Apple website and for Microsoft Zune you may visit Zune.net.
