Now, this is wrong. Very wrong. I'm not a Gloria fan myself but hey, I won't do such a thing. Not because I'm an elitist (how can I be an elitist when I don't even belong to the "elite" myself?) but because it is indecent, downright dirty and stupid. I mean, come on people!

I got this new UMobile sim yesterday delivered right at my doorstep. I signed up for this almost a week ago and I'm just so happy I got mine that fast.

 If you're already on Twitter, that's cool. But you should know that there's a new micro-blogging platform on the block known to the "hip" world as Plurk. I've recently joined..late this month and have been enjoying "plurking" ever since. It's a Twitter-like service, only "cooler". :)

Logging-in to my Friendster today, I came across My First Blog Ever, then powered by Friendster (obviously) and TypePad. First post was dated July 19, 2005. I thought to myself, if only I have blogged continuously and consistently, even at Friendster, I would have thousands of posts by now. But I guess it didn't appeal [...]<p><a href="http://adayinthelifeofrj.com/2008/06/from-an-old-friendster-blog/">From An Old Friendster Blog</a> is another original post from: <a href="http://adayinthelifeofrj.com">adayinthelifeofrj.com</a><br>

Going home one day, I tried experimenting taking photos while in a moving vehicle. It was frustrating at first as I got mostly wrong shots, but persistence paid off -- got myself a few shots I can actually post here. These are even posted on my Flickr.

When asked about the Philippines' biggest problem, specially now that the Presidential elections is but two years away, I suppose one would answer education, governance, poverty, criminality and hordes of others.
