Growing up, my mom would get us Schmidt’s brand Blue Ribbon bread, even though it was a little pricey and we couldn’t spend too much on groceries. So I grew up eating the good stuff. The other month I bought some of the cheap stuff — some store brand bread for about a dollar on […]

I think cell phones are an interesting thing. I never leave home without my Nokia N82. I’m actively using my phone at least a full hour a day (occasionally talking and texting, but a lot of web surfing and watching videos too). So when it comes time to consider an upgrade, its a big decision […]

Seems like I was out for the summer, but I was just busy with work and junks. Actually, I’ve been sick the past few days and had to take some time off from work, so now I’m sitting in front of my computer. Next time you are at the corner bodega (Giant Food) and buy […]
