Quezon City has deployed e-Jeepneys.

One of our nations biggest weaknesses is the lack of a proper mass transportation system. I envy the sophistication of the railway network of Japan and Hong Kong. All the stations and the trains were designed with the passenger in mind. What is the most convenient way to pay fares? What can be done to make ( Read more... )

Robin Williams passed away on August 11, 2014.This news made me sadder than I can say. He was a big part of my childhood. At a time when I knew actors by their roles and not by their real names, Robin Williams was an exception. He gave characters so much life that they would stay with you for decades. He was Peter Pan, he was Jack, he was Mrs. ( Read more... )

Last Monday, there were a group of teenagers in the van. Two guys, one girl. They were chatting animatedly to each other and teasing each other and talking about other people they knew. At one comment, the girl laughingly flipped off her companion ( Read more... )

My co-worker commented that she got a stupid answer from somebody. I took a look at it and I didn't think it was stupid at all. It was unhelpful, but not stupid. Perhaps that what she meant? It was stupid because it was unhelpful ( Read more... )

For example, you can use a muffin tray to serve condiments in a buffet, use frozen grapes to chill wine instead of ice, or Doritos make excellent kindling. A lot of them are pretty useful ( Read more... )

I took today off from work. There's a meeting and normally that would change my mind, but this time I didn't. There are ways to catch up if I miss anything ( Read more... )

It's been a while, hasn't it? The last time I wrote, Apple hadn't won its patent suit against Samsung in California and they haven't released the iPhone 5. Well, they have now --on both counts. By the way, I think the iPhone 5 looks great. It'll be an awesome upgrade for owners of the iPhone 4 and below. For those with 4s, I'd advise them to ( Read more... )

***I think every actor should, at minimum, be able to cry at will. I realized that while I was watching The Amazing Spider-man. There were several scenes where Peter was very emotional and I think Andrew Garfield pulled those off very well. Not only was he able to cry at will, he seemed to be able to control his tears. I mean he was able to ( Read more... )

As I was walking down Amorsolo, I heard the crunching sound of plastic getting run over by a car. That's when I noticed that the street was strewn with plastic bottles, cups and soda cans. I wondered where they came from. Litter is nothing new, but that much trash in the middle of the street is uncommon.

Then I thought to myself, you know who ( Read more... )
