Anyway, these buttons are well appreciated because I've started to build a mini - collection, some of which can be seen on my bag strap. So far I have Broadway musical and indie band ones that I got in NYC a couple of years back, comic book pins (Bat Mite, X-Men, The Spirit, Lex, Mxyzptlk) courtesy of Comic Quest, and a much treasured Hogwarts pin given by Arnold baby. (:

It seems that everyone has been blogging about the renegade muppet issue. All I can say is that Bert may be evil, as this Most Wanted Terrorist photo list implies, but we know our pal Dino, the creator of the original spoof site and NOT the "doctored" Bert - Bin Laden image, isn't.

Apparently there is now at least one Japanese food outlet in Manila that serves Ranma 1/2's Ukyo's specialty dish okonomiyaki, and that's Teriyaki Boy along Gilmore. Okonomiyaki, also popularly known as Japanese pizza, are large savory "pancakes" made with thinly sliced seafood, meat and veggies. I've tried the real thing in Tokyo five or so years ago and, well, didn't like it all that much, but then again the taste varies from restaurant to restaurant. We haven't tried the one in Teriyaki Boy (I do want Arnold to taste it) although some friends have said that it's too mayonnaise-y for comfort .

Here's a recipe site.

Believe it or not, I was a Chemistry student teacher once in high school, but I don't remember science classes ever being this fun:

Sci-fi.com presents the award - winning fantasy writer Michael Swanwick's Periodic Table of Science Fiction. (This week's element is Argon.)

So I only discovered Virtua Tennis this week. The game play and court settings are very realistic, and of course you get the chance to play with some of the top-ranked players in the world. I personally use France's Cedric Pioline, and Arnold works up a mean Jim Courier.

Just added Ruffy to my list of bloggers. Go and see what makes him Dazed in HK.

Ay, I think I spoke too soon. So, as I'll be busy working on my cash cows* (as Arnold puts it), thought I'd leave you with a delicious link to use up your net hours with (via the very talented Halina's Mandala).

*projects I need to take on for the more obvious reason, and not for creative fulfillment.*sigh*

That's "Cynthia" and "Arnold" in hieroglyphics. Pretty cool, huh? Have your name translated, too. I got the idea for this when I re-read Arnold's book The Mythology Class recently, and marvelled yet again at how he was able to translate so many words into alibata.

Spent the past week designing not one, not two, but three album covers and sifting through 320+ websites in the personal category of the Philippine Web Awards. As of this writing, the cover designs have been approved and my shortlist of 14 sites has been submitted (for screening still by the Finals judges) so for now I can happily blog away until the next installment of work renders me sleepless again.
