Sorry for the title, too many twitts and too many ‘gets. Finally, I’ve completed the release version of my Twitter widget for Yahoo! Widgets or also known as Konfabulator before it was bought by Yahoo!. For sometime now I’ve been wanting to create a widget again for Yahoo! Widgets because the last widget I published [...]

It started with a dry itchy throat on Wednesday when I woke up in the morning. The following day, I was having chills, fever and a severe headache. I still had a dry cough. My temperature was always above 100F. The Extra Strength Tylenol I was taking helped a bit but does not take the [...]

Now what?

I just upgraded my LCD on my 17″ HP Pavillion from WXSGA+ (1680 x 1050) to a higher resolution screen WXGA (1920 x 1200). It was actually a replacement because my old LCD cracked. I’m not saying who broke it… grrr. The new LCD is made by LG and the model is LP171WU3(TL)(A3). This particular [...]

Last year, I had four incidents with my motorcycle involving Prius drivers. All of them are almost close to fatal accidents. I don’t know what’s up with people who drives a Prius (yes, that ugly looking Toyota car) but they desparately need some driving class. Once again, tonight while I was riding home from work, [...]

“Save the cheerleader, save the world.” Oh wait, what I am talking about. Too much Heroes in my head Alright, so I did a 7 day marathon and just finished watching the three seasons of Heroes. Thanks to Netflix on Tivo, I was able to watch all of them in one week. I don’t know [...]

It’s a tradition so I’ll play. Let me recap what I listed last year: Blog more often – I think I did pretty good this year No more visit to the E.R. – Almost not made this, but I succeed Healthier me – How ’bout I say I lost a total of 15 lbs this [...]

Hello 2009! New year, new life, let’s hope so. We are all aware with the current situation of the world. There’s nothing we can do. This very world that we live in is not getting any better and is just going to be worse. I don’t know about you but my hope is not within [...]
