Seen on the road

What made my day yesterday? Passed by the Spacebook Internet Shop. It is beside Jollibis Tapsihan at Bulalohan, Mami at Gotohan, at Burgeran.

All these appropriations must be contagious.

Men of the week

I'm in a cybercafe (with no coffee) at Sta. Lucia East Mall. Why on earth am I here? There's no Internet at home and I have work to do.

When I stepped out in a t-shirt and jeans, my neighbor commented, "Masang-masa ka ngayon." Just trying to blend in. It's not a good time to wear a dress.

Shout-outs to the guys who populated my week in front of screens:

1. Mark Zuckerberg. Because the theatrical trailer of The Social Network is out and he needs some love from Facebook users.

2. The much loved, hated and parodied Old Spice Guy, Isaiah Mustafa. He's on a horse (and a boat). On a bike. On a boat (again). Talking to Ellen, Rose, Alyssa (x4), mrskutcher, Guy Kawasaki Perez Hilton and more than 100 other people. Responding to your voicemail. Silver fish hand catch!

3. Cillian Murphy, Tom Hardy and Joseph Gordon Levitt, for making Christopher Nolan's intelligent but cringe-inducing over-scored film bearable.

4. To C, R, K and N. A few words from you are enough. Thank you.

It's good for you

The Oatmeal is a website that combines trivia, humor and actual useful information in a comic infographic you can get as a poster. It's good in small doses, but prolonged exposure may result in permanent sarcasm.

A to Z of Awesomeness

The coming days will bring me plenty of changes starting with the letter A, but nothing as earth-shaking as Aztecs in atomic armour attacking anomalous amphibians. For the comic fans, an alphabet soup of alliterations is waiting for you at Buzzfeed. [via Elaine on Google Reader]

Happy Easter!

Instant Pampagising. No Caffeine Added.

Pinoys everywhere will enjoy Facebuko, Jonas Roque's Facebook-style website. I was surprised to find that it is interactive. It's funny without being offensive in the extreme. Hindi ko nga lang matanggap ang mga wall posts nina Armando and Chona. *shudder*

For a site in its second week, it has had a good number of visitors.

Anyone bother to translate from Nihongo?

I found this and these funny, too.

Thanks to the people over at Sandemans New Europe tours, especially those from Berlin and Amsterdam, for linking to the blog. (Paris and London, you ought to do the same.) I'm sure to take the free walking tour if I go to Edinburgh and Munich. Hey, I'm pretty nice when giving tips!

Keeping the mood light with a few things seen and heard in the city.

Guy to girl in cinema after Mamma Mia trailer: "Panonoorin mo, 'no? Ewwwww."

Chowking Fish Sauce ingredients: 100% fresh fish (I'm pretty sure it's anything but)

Excuses, excuses

Really now. Seen behind a truck along Makati Avenue. I stopped walking and took a few steps back to take a snapshot. This is Mari-An's territory (funny signs, I mean, not Makati Av), but I'm putting this up because it made me laugh.
