No, I wasn’t in the event. And this is the sad news that broke when I arrived home.
The Eraserheads reunion concert on Saturday night at the Bonifacio Global City Open Field was cut short after lead singer Ely Buendia suffered “emotional and physical stress.”
There should really be a part 2…or maybe a reunion for good. Whatchathink?

Chessdom – India wins the Chess U16 Olympiad 2008 ahead of Russia.
With GM Wesley So steering the board 1 for the Philippines, he won 8 games and drew 2 to grab the gold medal at board 1. Not a bad performance for the Philippines, considering So’s teammates are way below his high ELO rating of 2577.
Actually, Wesley So was the highest rated player in the tournament.
Or maybe, at least, so far, I only get to see this in Surigao.
Bike with Wings
It’s like a motorcycle with wings. Its wings from both sides are designed to hold passengers. In Surigao, these are usually employed in order to get to the mountains where no passenger jeepneys can go. Locals say it can hold up to 10 passengers in one trip, depending on the size/weight of each passenger.
Tumblr Search
Good news for Tumblr users. Now we don’t have to wait anymore for Google to index our pages in tumblr in order for Google Custom Search to actually display search results from our tumblr archives. Tumblr now has a built-in search.

The Power of Prime Lenses
Oftentimes, beginners dismiss prime lenses as inconvenient. And they overlook the positive side of it:
- They are usually cheaper as compared to equivalent zooms, as they are less complicated to design and manufacture.
- They usually produce better pictures. No rotating elements as for zooms, so usually no setbacks for the convenience of zooms. I don’t really have no pictures as evidence to back that argument. Just better ask the experts. But, really, based on experience, one usually makes the most our of his/her DSLR while using prime lenses.
- It helps you become more creative with your composition, as you zoom by your feet.
