The punchline that keeps on giving; The public thinking things will change for the better when they see sacrificial lambs pop up from time to time. This gag has been running on as far as I can remember. The thing that irks me is my younger self thinking it was a good idea putting down […]
I started with an $8/mo plan when I started using Linode, which ballooned to $12/month. Then the Philippines imposed a 12% (I think) on digital goods & services which included my web host… Which I was able to circumvent, thankfully. This prompted me to discontinues other subscriptions my house-hold uses, from Netflix to post-paid mobile […]
Got a pair of ranger cloaks on the behest of my child. It was a bit expensive for my taste even after the 10% discount on each cloak and free shipping. Added to that the $105USD forwarding cost from the US to my dooratep. The cloaks were pretty well made and the sizes were close […]
I used to have an unhealthy obsession with cars since childhood. Primarily because it was seemingly unattainable growing up, and it being a symbol of success and freedom by mobility.

Broke by a thousand fees. Death by a thousand cuts.
I have very strong opinions on social issues which I work on, as oppose to having loud ones.
My last 4 visits to the city I once claimed my home has been marred by misfortune. My trips to the city had to be cut short but someone dying my car breaking. I initially chalked it up to bad luck when my highschool batchmate caught a stroke while I was there. The following year, […]
As much as I liked the RG405M, I found it couldn’t emulate the arcade games I wanted to play to my liking; Primarily some NAOMI/NAOMI2 games and a couple switch games. I decided to skip other more powerful handhelds like the AYN Odin 2 or the Retroid Pocket 4 Pro and go straight to the […]
