We Are One Blogging Nation
Published in the wee hours of October 15, 2009

At the Acer Timeline Cruise event…

Photos from the Manila Bay cruise for the Acer Timeline launch: I think the Acer Timeline laptops are sleek machines, I would’ve considered them if I haven’t switched to a Mac.
Ipanema: Walk the Green Mile
Published in the wee hours of February 23, 2009
As Ipanema launches its new Gisele Bundchen Seeds Collection, they’re out to make a difference by helping the Haribon Foundation’s “Walk the Green Mile” walkathon, a project to raise awareness for the protection of our local rainforests.

Published at around evening time of November 20, 2008

Gusto mo bang sumama?
Published in the wee hours of September 2, 2008
May isang umaga na tayo’y magsasama Haya at halina sa alapaap O anong sarap So it was a promise after all. Alapaap’s surreal–sounding opening verse, sometimes omitted in our minds in favor of the upbeat chorus and other verses, was in hindsight an assurance that no matter what, against all odds, there is that one [...]
