I’m still surprised at how some people still type down sentence-long search terms for Google. “Sex” gives you around a billion search results buy say you’re just looking for “sex wax” for your surfboard. Good luck getting the search result you want. You’d probably surf through millions of adult sites and wouldn’t get to anything [...]

Dog years pass by more quickly than human years so fifteen years is a literally a lifetime for a pooch. It might not feel that long since you’ve raised that little bugger as a pup. Now you feel a little snap has been taken off its step and that your pet isn’t quite as enthusiastic [...]

One thing that shouldn’t happen in these trying times is for everyone to go nuts and cause mass panic and hysteria. So some bad decisions in the part of the peeps running the country have led us to recession fears (for those unfamiliar with the term, that’s a drop in America’s market value of services [...]
Friends should respect each other’s privacy. Sometimes, though, it’s hard to tell when not to tell. We are so used to sharing with our friends almost everything. People sometimes forget that friendship has its boundaries, especially on particular things friends can share. It’s quite a common problem with friends in very close proximities like being [...]

A few weeks back, we featured Bugmenot, a site that offers free use of usernames and passwords for free-to-register sites. It offers quite the convenience especially for those who just need to visit a site once and that’s about it.
Figures that they now have a Firefox extension to boot. What it does is that [...]
I had an interesting talk with a friend of mine over coffee. Okay, so we’re both 24 but around three years out of our respective undergraduate degrees. Nothing much to talk about regarding personal finances? Not really. I was complaining about how tough the real world is and it does take a lot of guts [...]

Coincidentally, these two are also the things which give us the inevitable feeling of anxiety. Being anxious is not so bad, if you can live through [...]

In hopes of achieving gorgeous pectorals and firm butt, you decided to follow your friends’ suggestions and enroll in a fitness center. After knowing what services you’re entitled to by paying a particular monthly fee, you agree that in a few months time, it’s all going to be worth it. After all, summer is coming [...]
So you still put in 60-hour work weeks and you eat reports for breakfast, meetings for lunch, and a lot of paperwork for dinner. Come on. It doesn’t take a medical degree to say that stress kills. But to reiterate that point, BBC has this great article on how Work Stress ‘Changes Your Body.’
Yeah, so we’re all kind of pissed with how Microsoft decided to go another notch with their exclusivity by changing the default file types for Office 2007. I basically find myself making the conscious effort to always save via compatibility mode. But what if some inconsiderate friend of yours decides that you should be [...]
One thing you got to hate with how Microsoft marketed Vista is that most of them came in bundled with new PCs that they didn’t even come with an installation disc. Since this is Vista (a Microsoft product), it goes without telling when the damn system would decided to f*ck you up big time. [...]

That when you die, everyone in your family will know every single, private, and dirty secret you kept your whole life. I keep a personal blog where I do put down a lot of personal information. But there are times when the pangs of paranoia about what could happen with the information you post online [...]
Each one of us has a guilty pleasure. Admit that you are either a chocolate addict, a chain smoker, a junkie, a couch potato or an alcoholic. Whichever you are, you are in grave danger – a danger to yourself because of your inability to discipline yourself. Your big problem can be blamed to a [...]
