For my money, the greatest YouTube video of ALL time

Michael Mina at The St. Regis Hotel, San Francisco

Fine dining should be done once a month. At least. That's the least amount of times you should be going out to a good restaurant where the food is prepared in exactitude of the way food should always be prepared, if we had the time, talent and wherewithal to keep foie gras around the house. Last...

Harry Potter's limited edition trunk delivers HD to your home!

Ah today was quite a busy day filled with errands including a long time spent at the post office along with a crowd of fellow last minute Christmas gift senders and when all was said and done I wasn't able to watch HM@ which I usually view on Tuesdays and that will have to wait till tomorrow as...

Kris Kringle Dramas at the Office or How to Change the World for Ten Bucks

I'm really not a fan of the x-mas office present buying. Having to buy a cheap gift, in this case, under $10, for someone you may not know that well. Usually they'll end up with something fairly crappy that they'll probably never use or at best, pass on in another Kris Kringle (Secret Santa) next...

Do as we do SMILE (it's a beautiful life)

After a lunch that included, among other things, grilled pork belly and (more) prawns fried in garlic butter, my sisters and I thought it would be interesting to look up the average Filipino's life expectancy. Turns out I've got over 30 more years of pork snarfling to go. Party on, dudes. I was also...

What not to wear to church

Bahahahahaha! Fashionista Sister and BIL shot this yesterday while they were visiting a country church. The church pics were super, but this is the one I wanted to show y'all. Is it not awesome? The muffin tops are the best part. (And the most egregious faux pas of all, according to Donya M.)

Please pee here

I just promised young Bobavey that if I ever pick up my new Nokia cell phone (with 2-megapixel camera!) I will post a pic of the sidewalk peeing booths that were installed all over Manila only a few years ago. The pic below is just something I Googled up, and doesn't really do justice to the full...

Stuck in the back seat

We do a lot of waiting around in barely moving traffic in Manila, especially at Christmas time. The number of people and therefore cars on the road roughly doubles this time of year because of all the Filipino expatriates who fly home for the holidays. So yeah, it's fun family time, but you really...

This will be me one week from now! Wheeee!

suggested we all update our Meezes. Great idea! Check out the new one I found for me. It's perfect. For anyone who has never been in the Philippines, let me tell you: this is dead on. So cool!

A post about I'm Already There

Love this song.

Vox Tips & Tricks

My name is Jai I love Singing and listening to music it takes me away from the everyday hustle and bustle of the world. I love my family(although it may not always show lol) I love to just hang out with friends, watch movies and where I can go for walks to relax. Doesn't sound very interesting but...

END OF AN ERA

Despite the hilarious sign that says "now open" this CompUSA is dead and gone. The building had a temporary ressurection as a haloween supply wherehouse during October, hence the left-over "Now Open." Almost sad, except that FRY'S is like a mile away -and somehow sells way more computer stuff than a...

I'm in Bo Phut, Mom and Dad!

This is the Makcik Tukang Urut Thai in Chaweng. I'm really bored of this stupid place. Currently we're bunking in at this really cool and cheap motel, Khun Tai in Bo Phut, where the really cool Fisherman's Village hides. You may take a tut-tut from Chaweng to Fisherman Village in Bo Phut for 200...

Your Submissions

Hello all, As we're getting more artists joining the Vox community I thought it would be good to do a quick summary of what's required to make sure your music gets to us and is presented in the best possible way. First of all, make sure you are in the A&R Group. This is essential. If you did not...

Unexpected Goodbye

RIP Melissa Ingram April 1983 - December 2007 A good friend of ours from AU & Tiger's Den (our regular bar / hangout) passed away on Sunday. The doctors still don't know exactly what was wrong, but it came on fast - her kidneys basically shut down. Melissa was a great friend with a lot ahead of her....

Museums here and abroad

Seeing the great European paintings at the Prado (and the El Grecos in Toledo) is an extremely moving experience. I cannot be other than an American naturally but I know that my attraction toward work over the centuries from Europe before Europeans came here, has been wonderfully rewarding. My wife...

where is this going?

random thought #14; where is this this taking us? so in the course of the past week or two a lot of things have changed for me. #1: i've gotten to the point where i realize that i'll always care & love christopher. maybe in due time, the feelings will be completely gone, but i can honestly say that...

1997和2007

跟风之作。。。把自己拽回正常人生活之作。。。唤醒自己要干活的良知之作。。。 1997年我14岁，2007年我24岁。 1997年我属狗，2007年我还是属狗。。。 1997年我114磅，2007年大多数时候我还是比114斤轻的。。。 1997年我每天早上6点40起床，10点半睡觉，2007年我早上10点半到学校，晚上6点半工作的下半场才真正开始。。。 1997年我骑的是那种塑胶黑轱辘的淑女车，2007年我开辆假装很拉风的2门小破车； 1997年我一日三餐午睡样样不少，2007年一日两餐午睡早就拜拜好多年了； 1997年我穿真维斯¥168的裤子，扯也有，2007年我买的所有下装，包括裤子，裙子，...

我还是年轻的

昨通了，最强有力的支撑是外面太冷，不想3点多走到停车场。。。 其实通的很没意义。因为周末半天可以干完的活，周末全宅了；周一白天可以干完的活，周一复习考试了（周末光宅啥都没干。。。）；考完试9点了，周二cleanroom down，这周又有会，踌躇了好久才蒙头进去干活。。。休息闲逛2小时，7点多去测device。。。可是device长的漂亮没用，他不work我有啥办法。老板现在简直通情达理的让人感动。。。没表现出任何不耐烦和不满意。白天晃悠测完（没一个work的。。。）我的gate current，从0扫到－3v，和从－3扫到0v,居然是不同的profile。。。老板说的啥trap，interf...

生蛋

圣诞节，先立个志，主要是有点不能忍受自己了。 以后该干的事，利马解决，不能老大写意的过活。 本来就墨迹了半天下午才圣诞节来干活，zhangqinqin还让给我一个小时ebl，pdpd去sign 1800＃2结果上面留条pump坏了。。。得，这可不是得等下周一？苦了我不会使1800＃1，况且它也没白金。据说可以找人换source，等明吧，老板明来。还好我周五咬牙咬到9点做了2块，可以继续往下做。要是我周四知道要做epiworks的就立马问zhangjingjing，周五我就可以三块一起了。。。要是我周五开会的时候记得问zhangjingjing，我也不必等到今天了。 nnd，总是人算不如天算。虽...
