As if the recent populating of our local malls with iStores isn’t enough, the guys behind the Philippine distribution of Apple products have finally launched the online Apple Store. Now this should be a treat, like winning online casinos gambling, for kids who still have their parents trust on credit card extensions. The pricing [...]

I’m stuffed, man!

Nick Nichelle Dael — Wed, 05 Nov 2008 04:49:06 +0000

I have to finish the first season of House M.D. because I feel obliged to do so. I have to get my mind off of the fact that I got a pile of laundry staring at me. Dirty floor, unkept sheets and whatever else I haven’t handled in the past three weeks - that includes [...]

The mystery of Big and Small parts

Nick Nichelle Dael — Sat, 01 Nov 2008 23:24:38 +0000

This is when Big and Small matters. This is when the phrase “It’s not the size of the boat but the motion of the ocean” doesn’t hit home. Since my eating partner went miles away, oceans apart, I’ve been eating quick. Fastfood is my comfort. And why with the mysterious one-piece-chicken question, “Big part ni, sir?” [...]

Freelancing is another way to earn

Nick Nichelle Dael — Wed, 29 Oct 2008 11:10:13 +0000

Oh, it seems that I am on a roll for posting money-making entries. Well, nothing is planned for. They just seem to fall into pieces on its own. And, yes, this is not the money-making blog that you are searching for if you originated from any search engine. I have been roaming in the vast listing [...]

Google Adsense is for real!

Nick Nichelle Dael — Mon, 27 Oct 2008 06:18:45 +0000

The entry’s title is addressed to the reluctant boys and girls who still think that making money in the internet is nothing but a “Congratulations, you’ve won a million dollars and click here to claim” cow pie way back. This blog alone gave me two payouts from Google Adsense this year. I spent everything on [...]

Good morning is not just some words

Nick Nichelle Dael — Sun, 26 Oct 2008 00:05:47 +0000

I didn’t notice the huge amount of rain that washed away the pigeon’s poop at my neighbors roof or that that silenced the early morning kakadoodledooooooooing of roosters. I sleep like a croc who’s just ingested a carabao. The alarm was set to explode at around four thirty so at least I have time to [...]

Reveille Reborn

Nick Nichelle Dael — Tue, 21 Oct 2008 02:35:25 +0000

I consider Reveille to be one of the best band in the rock ‘n’ roll world in terms of lyrics. Drew Simmolardes, vocalist/lyricist, is a f*cking genius and Paul Gargano, formerly of Metal Edge, I think, shares this same view on the man. I even had one of Reveille’s lyrics included in my high school’s [...]
