Blast from the past

One of my neighbors, Manuel Viloria, in Vox, wrote about Nostalgia Manila, a blog site that brings you back in time when Voltes V reigns supreme. I checked it out and believe me, it brought back memories of my childhood.

Sleep is the key

Siesta touted as defense against heart disease:

In fact, in a long-term study of Greek men and women, the ones who took at least three 30-minute siestas every week had a 37 percent lower risk of heart-disease related death than those who skipped an afternoon snooze.

And I thought I was just one sleepy puppy. I use Pzizz to help me manage my powernaps. Heck, it even helps my kids and my wife get better sleep. I highly recommend it – works better if you have an iPod, though.

Know when to quit

Sometimes, difficult as it may seem, you really need to concede defeat! (or the arm, the leg… bwahahahah!!!! pardon me but I need to add humour to this otherwise it will just drive me crazy thinking about how some people are so stupid!)

Starbucks!

Well, well, well… it has been more than 4 days and I am still not craving for anything from Starbucks. I usually get my macchiatto every morning whenever I am here in San Francisco with Starbucks practically in every corner. Besides, there’s Starbucks at the hotel lobby – how convenient is that?

Anyhow, I don’t crave for coffee these past few days. Don’t know why but maybe because I need all the sleep I can get to combat jetlag. Unfortunately or fortunately, I am going home very, very soon! I miss the wife and the kids already. iChat saves me a lot of money but it is nothing compared to being really there with them critters.

So – in as much as I’d want to write about the WWDC sessions, unfortunately, I am under NDA so I cannot publish anything. Sorry, folks.
