2010 Year-End Rambling

The year 2010 has been up and down year as a blogger for me as I got more focused on updating my Twitter and other things that can be done on my iDevice. But nonetheless I still manage to write a blog when I get some free time (and an urge/inspiration to write a blog) either through the said iDevice or on my laptop (which ever I am comfortable).

Focusing on work has paid dividends as I get a very good rating on performance evaluation from the top admins even though this will also take some of my time off blogging. Since I can only use my laptop during the break time at work. I decided to write the drafts of my blogs on my notes application of my application to which I will post during the break or before I get home.

As of late, I am also fond of listening to podcasts more than my musical playlists. I regularly download episodes of podcast shows like Filmsack and Appslappy as they give reviews to old movies and iDevice applications respectively. I am also excited that DJ Mo Twister will be back on the podcast scene probably to do a more improve "Good times with Mo" podcast which I would hope will include his co-host on the Good Times morning show.

Aside from work, parenting, blogging, social networking and games, I might give reading a try again and I will try to reconnect myself with the Dragonlance books (to which I finished reading the Chronicles and the Legends series and will proceed on with the next series of the chronogical timeline after which will read the prelude series ). I will also probably do some reading on the Shadowrun series as well as classic Sherlock Holmes series by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle.

Watching TV series will also continues on to next year since most of my favorite TV shows are still showing new episodes (to which I will updating my Crime scene TV series blog).

That will be it for now. Up next will be my first blog post for the New Year.

December to Remember: My First post for this month

It's almost a month since my last update and a lot has happened since then but I got sidetrack as always with work but manage to update my daily rambling via twitter. I also have been pre-occupied with some of the applications on my iOS device that I almost neglect to use my laptop which is almost relegated to downloading my favorite TV series via torrent (I know it's wrong but if the US networks opens up their TV shows to the world, we won't be resorting into this kind of endeavour), good thing almost all the thing that you can do on computer or laptop can now be done on a small mobile device. 

Yes times flies so fast to the point that I'm still stuck on using my old Sony Ericcson mobile phone and I have been dreaming of getting a Samsung Galaxy S with Android OS 2.3. Call me a tech geek but how I live my life. I have most of the gadgets on wishlist: a laptop, an iPod Touch, a dSLR camera (although the additional lenses and external flash will be added later on but these are not a priority) to which I can showcase some of my photography skills.   

As of late I've been doing some resto/bar/cafe trips on my spare times for my Food blog and my Foursquare and Gowalla social networks. Speaking of social network, Facebook is also one reason why I wasn't able to blog but "hey, everybody is doing it, so why can't I do it". Games like Mousehunt, Urban Rivals and just recently Eredan took most of the time (damn this trading card games, it goes to show I haven't got over with Magic the Gathering) than adding friends.

Oh well that would be it for now. I would hope to do an update for weeks to come because another special day is fast approaching and I'm not talking about Christmas ;) 

And by the way, I would like to greet my dear grandfather Eduardo Sr. a very Happy Birthday (December 17) even though you are gone, your spirit, guidance and the good memories will always be with me.
