Memory Foam Pillow

Posted on the December 30th, 2009 under Uncategorized by admin

My back’s been aching for quite some time now. Perhaps it is because of the bed that I am sleeping in. I’ve longed been wanting to have a memory foam pillow but I couldn’t find one here in our area.

I have read good reviews about it and how it can alleviate neck and back pains. I think it uses a revolutionary kind of foam that ‘remembers’ the way your body shapes the foam so each time you sleep, your head and neck are always well supported.

She Has a New Blog

Posted on the December 29th, 2009 under Blogging by admin

My wife is starting a new blog since she got the domain name for her own name: Nhil Ocampo.

She is still planning what topics she would be blogging about, but for the meantime, she will be writing about almost anything that catches her fancy.

I hope she will be able to maintain this new blog and nurture it into something that is wonderful. :)

Not Good Hosts

Posted on the December 13th, 2009 under Media by admin

Is it me or do I find most TV hosts extremely boring?

And not only boring, but also filled with errors. For example, Ruffa said these quotes earlier today during her segment at the Buzz: “ma-intrigang intriga” and “…tough questions with Tough Ten Questions”.

I expect more from TV hosts. Not only should they be able to excite and entertain the audience, they should also speak logically and in a correct manner. Why? Because children watch them and these poor kids can get the bad speaking habits of these hosts, including their glaring grammar errors.

Just because you are good to look at and you can speak in front of a camera, that does not give you the right to be a host. Think of Ryan Seacrest. Think of Ellen DeGeneres. Think of Johnny Carson. Think of Mel Tiangco.

Fukuda Remote Control

Posted on the December 12th, 2009 under Uncategorized by admin

When I opened one of my kitchen cabinets, I was surprised, and also delighted, to find the remote control for my Fukuda television set. It has been months since I last used it (I usually misplace my stuff) so I expected for its battery to have already died out. Well, when I tried it I found out that it’s still working.

Now it came to me once again as to why I really seldom use the remote control. It’s one of the worst remote control units I have ever used! You really have to point it to the tv set and you have to be on a direct path to the set. If you are in an angle, the remote control unit will not work.

And that’s not good because I love working on my laptop while watching tv, and the way my working table is placed, it’s at an angle to the tv set. So I can’t use the remote control. I have to stand up, walk closer to the tv for the remote to work. And that’s not a good thing.

Maybe I’ll just by a universal remote control, one that has a better signal or coverage so I can use it while watching tv and also working on my laptop.

Chicken Pastel

Posted on the December 11th, 2009 under food by admin

I’m not really fond of eating chicken, however there is one dish that I like. It’s chicken pastel.

When I first encountered this dish, I was surprised to see a pie-looking food. And then when I dug in with my spoon, out came the hot and delicious chicken and vegetables filling. It was one of the most delicious thing that I ever tasted.

It has to be the crust. Whenever I go out and order chicken pastel, I make sure that there is a crust. Without it, I don’t consider it a chicken pastel. I’m not sure if the crust is required, but for me it is.

Maybe one reason why I like this dish is because I am a sucker for pies. I love pies such as apple pie, buko pie, blueberry pie and even pizza pie. The last one’s not a joke because I really love pizzas! Especially an all-cheese variant. It’s the perfect comfort food for me, and one of the main reasons why I am overweight.
