two hours from makati
—
in LiveMet up with James briefly last night before we both went home (we live in the same area). We took a bus (the last time I rode one was for my immersion in January 2011) and the air con was in full blast; it was cold and they were playing boring movies. Ayala to Cubao…

App review: Sketch
—
in LiveI’ve been using Sketch for high (enough) fidelity mock-ups and wireframes on the retina MBP and right now I feel that: $30 is still a bit too expensive (even on a Sale price) for the current features of this app $50 (full price) is just not worth it Although of course, I’m mostly willing to…

Synching my Foursquare with Google Calendar
—
in LiveI’ve only recently been using Foursquare mainly because I wanted to keep my own personal log of what I’ve been doing or where I’ve been going every day. It’s not very easy to get an overview of it with the app, so using an IFTTT recipe, I managed to sync it with one of my…

App splurge: Sketch
—
in LiveI bought Sketch, which was on sale for almost $30. It’s originally $50. Can’t wait to try out CSS and Grids with this! Plus, another retina-friendly app. Not bad but oh god, that’s also Php 1.6k less money, haha. I seriously need to go on needs-only mode. So far I’ve successfully kept myself from shopping…

I seriously need to budget properly
—
in LiveThis is a rounded off table of my August purchases and bills. I need…to start budgeting properly. Right now I only have 2 accounts: (a) savings and (b) my old payroll account (which is my spending or allowance account). I almost always pulled money from my savings account to spend on a LOT of stuff…

some dents are permanent
—
in LiveI came home tonight to my (old) macbook that had been on ‘retirement’ ever since the retina came into my possession and I felt bad about how ugly and dirty it looked. I tore away the screen protector that served its two years well. I turned it off and took a damp cloth to wipe…

app culture is a wonderful thing, I think

in LiveWhen I’m not working: I’m playing Kingdom Rush on my iPad I’m eating I’m looking through apps I can buy for my iPad I’m playing Kingdom Rush on my iPad I love how Apple solved piracy, with the App Store. I love all the interesting games and apps I can conveniently buy and download whenever and wherever (app-shopping…
