La Mesa Nature Reserve Take 3

I have a feeling that even “Take 10” wouldn’t be the end of it, this trail never ceases to impress us.

Take 2 was an “impromptu” thing because technically, it was cancelled due to the weather. But about 4 of us persisted and the rest was history. Take 3 was the planned re-scheduling, but this time most of the people agreed to the “rain or shine” stipulation. Good thing the stipulation was made, because this is how the weather was at one point:

In fact, just as when we were just about to hit the trail, it started pouring! Read More

Hell, in fact, HATH fury!

For the record, I always believed that even in the face of total injustice, a man should take the high road when going against a woman; because God knows the latter would do shit like that naturally… at least most of the time at least (and this is provable fact btw). Sure, I do confide in a select few (and only if they ask) and I guess the furthest I’d go (unless publicly challenged) would be to write a song about it. Even then, I’d always make it a point keep the villain’s identity anonymous to the general public out of courtesy (even if they totally don’t deserve it) 1 Well, that and I want the music to be relevant to a broader audience, something which is impossible if you put an actual name on the song

In context of relationships, 99% of the time, it’s really the men that have less to lose when shit hits the fan. I guess this is why the whole “hell hath no fury than a woman scorned” adage exists in the first place; and those “screwed” (no pun intended) women resort to slander – practically cuz it’s the only [legal] thing they could do to get some semblance of retribution.

But, I respectfully submit, that Hell, in fact, hath fury… even more than a woman scorned – it just seldom reveals itself. And guess who’s capable of delivering such fury; damn right, it’s us men. And here’s a sample of how a no-holds-barred mutt-fit (bitch-fit for men) could go down… brought to you by Mr. no-holds-barred himself: EMINEM.

I have to admit that I did get a kick out of Eminem’s single “The Warning” simply because it shows exactly how destructive we men can be if we throw whatever courtesy we have left to the wind (and start acting like “women scorned” ourselves)

Toys and more toys!

Been a while since I posted. While there may be some stuff I would want to blog about, I’m not feeling “profound” these days.

Instead, I’ll just be my usual shallow self and talk about some stuff coming in this august (c/o my friend Arjay) – I’m stoked! So this is what it feels like to drool over stuff you technically already own; the wait is killing me!

3GS Impressions

So basically, my 4GB 1st-gen (yes, the very first iPhone model) has been “retired.” It recently was never getting any signal… regardless of the SIM cards I put in it. Those same cards immediately work with my XDA; which I kept handy as a backup.

Naturally, I needed a replacement iPhone ASAP; so I decided to get a legitimately unlocked iPhone 3GS. Here are my impressions of the new phone. Read More

The MJ Memorial Service Debacle

So while the world is in solidarity as far as the-loss-we-feel-of-losing-a-great-muscian goes what I find revolting is this whole issue about the financial aftermath of Michael Jackson’s memorial service.

This is why “sentimentality” can be so fucking annoying sometimes; it makes people do things without thinking things through… then when reality starts kicking in, they start complaining and passing blame.

Mounting a fucking million dollar tribute without ironing out the finances involved is utterly irresponsible especially during an economic crisis. Read More
