This is just a hypothetical scenario and did not happen in the real world. Let us say that Puto King is a trademark of a certain restaurant here in the Philippines. They have the trademark for the word “Puto King”, and no company can create another restaurant with the name Puto King, right?

What if your credit card bill shows that you have to pay an additional 50% of your expected outstanding balance for reasons you don’t know, are you going to call them to ask what the additional amount is all about? The answer is a no-brainer, right? Of course, you will.

We attended the iBlog4 at the UP Diliman last Saturday and here are some of the things I learned/discovered at the event.

I was on leave yesterday because we attended the family planning seminar in Batangas as part of the requirements for getting a marriage license. Here’s what happened.

I’ve been off for a while, was kinda busy already with work and personal life. I might not be able to update this blog as often as before, but I will try.

Well, not really. But I can solve the Rubix cube puzzle in around 6 minutes now after studying the tutorial video for the last 3 days.

Yup. I was there at the Mag:net Cafe today to meet and greet Christine Gambito aka Happy Slip. Lots of pictures after the jump.

Yup, you read it right. Tomorrow morning is my flight to Davao. I’ll celebrate the New Year there with my future in-laws. I’ll be there till January 1.

Last night, it was cold outside here in Hong Kong. I think, the temperature was between 12 to 17 degrees on the Celcius scale when we walked our way to our apartment/flat. Yeah, I know, it is colder in the US, but I grew up in the Philippines, so, it was really cold for me.

I went to MV Lhuiller, Bauan, Batangas Branch to receive my Adsense earnings via Western Union this morning. I brought 2 government-issued IDs together with the copy of Money Transfer Control Number(MTCN), the exact amount I’m receiving and Google’s office address. I selected that branch because they have a banner in front of their office [...]

When I started this blog, I just opted for the Starter Plan of my webhost, with just a bandwidth limit of 5GB per month. Although my first goal since day 1 is to have a blog with high traffic, I never expected that it will be as fast as this. Last April, 3 months after [...]

It’s already October. Time to wake up Green Day. (They sang ‘Wake me up when September ends’, right?) Hey Green Day, wake up!

I went to Smart Wireless Center in SM Batangas today to renew my Smart Money card because it just expired yesterday. Here is what happened:
Customer Service: Sir, how much money is loaded in your Smart Money now?
Me: Eight pesos. Why?

Due to heavy traffic, what used to be a two-and-a-half-hour drive from Manila to my hometown in Batangas became a tiring six-hour drive! Yeah, it happened last Saturday, when we left Ortigas at around 4:30 PM hoping to reach Batangas at around 7:00 PM just in time for the premiere episode of 1 vs. 100. [...]

We will have our annual company team building tomorrow at Caylabne at Ternate, Cavite. I hope it doesn’t rain because it will spoil the fun. Dodong, go away!
