There’s that one morning you wake up to find your love life not so perfect as you thought it was. After that great time you’ve had last night, you thought nothing can go wrong now. But before you even get a flashback of last night’s.. erm, thrill, your own slice of romance is taking a [...]

The year is young and you’ve got a lot to live for this year. It’s quite normal for people to have some. But perhaps before you really delve deeper into 2008, you might want to resolve some unfinished business so you can really set off to a new start. Indeed one truly appreciates the need [...]

What a morbid thing to write about at the start of the year! Sure, but you have to be realistic about things. You’d never know when you’ll kick the bucket, whether it’s from radiation from wi-fi signals or a piano smashing you to pieces while walking down the street. And with death, it can happen [...]
Snow blindness is a temporary condition that is caused by the excessive glare of the sun’s rays bouncing off the snow. These harmful ultraviolet rays can cause temporary blindness on some people. Snow is highly reflective that even in overcast and cloudy days, glare can be present. The thing with this is that symptoms can [...]

This might be common if you live in an apartment building with a bunch of savages but it’s quite common in neighborhoods and even the suburbs too (especially since the richer folk can afford million-watt audio systems). If you want some peace and quiet but your neighbor won’t let up, then it may be time [...]
It’s the new year and with most electronics depreciate at the end of the year and that new models have come out, buying a new cellphone might be a great idea, just a little token for yourself for the past year well-spent. There are a lot of brands and models to choose from and its [...]
With the series of snowstorms pretty common this winter, being a bit more careful around snow is quite crucial especially if you’re the type of person who like to go out in the snow. While avalanches may not be a real concern for city dwellers, people living closer to nature might have to be cautious [...]
Someday, your old LPs will soon conk out. If you still have The Who’s Tommy somewhere in the attic, you might want to bring it down for a good listen. (Well, better have it cleaned and restored since it’s a collector’s item already.) So why not create a digital archive while they’re still playable? That [...]
I’ve been doing some new year reorganizing and saw my old scanner gathering dust on one side of our storeroom. I rarely get to use my scanner nowadays since my prime use of the thing was mostly for scanning line art to be digitally colored during my digital artist wannabe days. Anyway, seeing it made [...]

To some people, the New Year signifies only one thing: more expenses. With a lot less money to burn (because the holidays nearly drained everything), you’re now facing one of the most terrible realities of all time. Indeed it is such a bitch to be penniless before the year has even started, but we both [...]

I have to admit that I might not have been too wise in approaching this whole holiday thing. I even tried to approach this season with a tightwad philosophy in mind. And everyone dislikes the tightwad during Christmas. Everyone, that is, except yourself. What’s wrong with spending only very little when everyone agrees that money [...]
