my best friend's wedding

The bride insisted that I drive her to the wedding.

On a beautiful Friday afternoon, Jen and Daniel exchanged wedding vows in front of loving friends and family, in an unconventional ceremony that is nonetheless wonderfully romantic and remarkably memorable.

To Daniel and Jenny, all the best!

in the mail

Sweet. Enzo sent me and Broody letters for Christmas before he left for the States. 

Too bad the mailman decided to leave the letter clipped on Halle's wiper. Too bad I left the house when it's already dark. Too bad it was a cool enough night I had to use the wipers when driving out for midnight lunch.

Ayun, nabasa ang sulat ni Carlos bago ko nabasa. And the purple ink used is the type that easily washes off with water, buti na lang makapal ang envelope. 

To Enzo, many many thanks too, for being such a good friend! Have fun this Christmas!

a mistress and a frigid lady

I know that the iPhone is one of the coolest gadgets around, and after weeks of agonizing over it I finally decided to take it for a spin. A test drive that's more like a crash test. Three days and I gave up on it.

Frankly, what does not work for me is the lack of openness and interoperability. It's like wearing a straightjacket. It might be cool on the outside but the iPhone is one frigid lady I can sleep without.

It's good, therefore, that the Xperia X1 from Sony Ericsson is out in the market. Soon as I opened the box I knew I made the right choice.

I've known for a while now that Sony Ericsson makes the best smartphones, ever, with the Symbian OS at the heart of its previous models. However, for the X1 it's Windows Mobile 6.1. While not a fan of Microsoft, it's not so bad. I just wonder how much better the X1 could be with Symbian?

The X1. It's like coming home to a mistress when you're not even married.

making my day

are short love letters like this one:

"I love you today just like any other day. But moreso because as I woke up this morning, for reasons that seem insignificant now, I was wishing that the day be over and done with. We were texting and I remembered that this was the day, months ago when we met. And this was when you gave me one day in every month to celebrate. Thank you for giving me stillness to live this day with a smile. "

and long ones:

Am so looking forward to the weekend of cuisines :-)
