Last week, I went to the doctor to check why I was having this headache for 3 days. The doctor found out that I have hypertension. But since our family does not have a history of hypertension, the doctor recommended several laboratory tests to determine where this hypertension is coming from.

Less meat, more fish, no caffeine, no sugar, less salt. That’s my diet guide that I need to follow if I still want to blog for more years. I wonder if I can blog in heaven? Hehehe.
Well seriously, it’s tough. What else can I drink? Water. Softdrinks have sugar. Light softdrinks such as Coke Light [...]
Six years ago, I was jobless. It took me more than 5 months of job hunting before I finally got a job here in Manila. Now, it was completely different. Instead of writing an application letter, now I just recently wrote a job offer rejection letter:
There is no excerpt because this is a protected post.
It seems that this week had been a series of unfortunate events for me. Our landlord died. My car went into trouble. Someone copied my work. And before the week ends, my girlfriend called and informed me that she lost her cellphone! Someone on the boarding house took it while she’s sleeping.
How could bloggers have an eyeball without blogging about it beforehand? I was just informed by insan. I went there with boy dapa, and there I found myself with fellow bloggers having fun. Here are some of our pictures:
It was Thursday night, around 9:00PM when our landlady asked me to accompany her husband to the nearest clinic because he’s complaining of chest pain. I thought, it was just an ordinary chest pain, he’s not that weak, and was able to walk and sat beside me as I drive my car to the clinic. [...]
Yesterday night, I met 2 of the most prominent bloggers on the Philippine blogosphere today. The famous Yuga and my notorious insan Nao. Yeah, we had an EB last night somewhere at Glorietta.
It’s election season already and checkpoint at night is already an ordinary scene. Last night, I passed a checkpoint at Bolbok, Batangas City. Nothing extraordinary happened. They just looked at the front case (what do you call that small case in the front of the passenger’s seat where I keep my registration copies and some [...]
Sorry for the unannounced hiatus. Umuwi kasi ako sa Batangas last Thursday, nagVL kasi ako, hoping na makakapag-update sa bahay. Nakapag-update pa ako ng textmates, pero nung gabi, nagloko ang dial-up ng Globelines, laging busy, kaya hindi na ako nakapag-update. Ngayon lang ulit ako nakapag-online.
So what happened?
While riding a taxi with my girlfriend, the driver started telling stories about his family. He said that he have 5 children, two of whom are already in the United States. His wife is already in the US too. However, he said that he preferred living here in the Philippines because he wants to watch [...]
I was in Toyota Batangas last Saturday for my car’s 35000 km check-up. I left our house at around 9:30 AM, and reached the place at around 10:00 AM. There were 5 more cars in queue, and my car was serviced at around 11:30 AM. I thought, I’ll be able to leave the place by [...]
And I thought, Google Adsense is contextual. How come it is displaying diet-related advertisement when in fact, I haven’t mentioned dieting on this blog (except for now)? Kahit nga picture na mataba ako, wala eh. Nang-aasar ata itong Adsense na ito. Hehehe.
Alam ko, pwede akong gumawa ng sarili kong e-mail sa webhost na kinuha ko. The problem is tinatamad ako. Ngayon lang ako sinipag kalikutin yung Cpanel ko, and finally, nakapagcreate na ng sarili kong e-mail address. Now, you can contact me at marhgil{at}macuha{dot}com. Kapag dyan kayo nag-email, siguradong matatanggap ko. Sa mga kamag-anak ko na [...]
Kagabi. Ako lang ang pasahero sa dyip. May sumakay na tatlong babae, teenager. Nagbayad, beinte pesos. Sabi nung isa, “Dalawa lang po, kalong ang isa.” Pero hindi naman nakakalong. Napailing na lang ang driver. Kung ako yung driver, pabababain ko naman yung isa, or pakakalungin ko nga. Gigimik sila nang kulang ang pamasahe? Alam ko, [...]
Dahil sa nangangailangan ng updates yung laugh top ko and I only have dial-up connection sa bahay namin sa Batangas, naghanap ako ng Wi-Fi hotspots. Meron akong nakita, iisa, sa Starbucks sa SM Batangas. Malas pa, dahil offline nung magpunta ako dun.
Now, I’m wondering, saan pa ba meron sa Batangas?
Ilang araw din akong nagcanvass hopping from computer shop to computer shop on Manila and Batangas looking for the right laptop that fits my budget. Finally, nakuha ko na ang gusto ko, and I am currently posting this using my new laptop - the laptop that blogging bought. Budget came from Google Adsense, Text Link [...]
For more than a year, I was a computer engineer without a computer. Walang desktop computer, walang laptop. Sa office lang at internet cafe ako nakakahawak ng computer. Bakit nga ba? Kasi, matagal nang nasira yung desktop computer ko sa Batangas, bumigay yung motherboard at tinamad na rin akong ipagawa dahil hindi ko rin naman [...]
I was offline for 4 days. I was absent at work for 2.5 days. Reason? I was sick. I got a sore throat that Strepsils can’t cure, got fever, colds and cough at the same time. My blood sugar was on normal level, so these are not complications. 4 days of rest and a couple [...]
Today is the last day of February, at March na naman bukas. Ang bilis talaga ng oras. Parang kelan lang ay sinabi kong nabayaran ko na yung isang gulong ng kotse ko, aba nga naman at 2 years na pala akong naghuhulog nun. Kalahati na nung kotse ang sa akin. Kaya kapag hindi ko naituloy [...]
