I was able to buy Moleskine notebooks for me and my girlfriend. These notebooks are awesome, and would make perfect gifts if only they weren’t so damn expensive. The pocket versions cost PhP 900 locally (I got the regular/large sizes, which set you back PhP 1,250 each).
Hiling translated
I felt compelled to translate the song to English for an impending “event”… no, I do not intend to re record it in English. What it’s actually for, you guys will soon know in a couple of weeks.
Suffice to say that this is for those people who don’t know the language (tagalog), but took the effort to listen to the song nonetheless. I truly appreciate the time you took to listen to it – so I’m putting the same effort on translating it to english to make the song make sense to you, as well as show you how much more effective the lyrics were when written in our language.

Irony is…
Merom MacBook Pros are out
The Apple Core2 Duo portables have been unleashed, and so I too, will start unleashing my savings and upgrade. The pricing is very impressive since you get a considerable upgrade from the previous generation MacBook Pros for the same price.
If you’ve been holding out to get a MacBook, waiting for the “right-time” to take the plunge, I’d say now is pretty much an ok time to get one. Consider this:
Comparing the USD 1,999 models (lowest-end) 15″ MacBook Pro line, for the newer model you’d be getting:
- CPU base speed matching the previous top model (2.16Ghz)
- A newer, more efficient CPU in general (Core2 Duo/Merom)
- A base RAM matching the previous top model (1GB)
- A base HDD size that’s bigger than the previous top model (120GB)
- A IEEE 1394 (FireWire) 800 port, which absent from the previous line.
- A faster (6x) and dual-layer capable superdrive
Now I’m sure that succeeding versions will still follow the trend, but for the price, I think the models that just came out are very competitive (as compared to the value of my powerbook when it came out)
