Ahaha. You guessed it. Eh. Ano ba yun.
Anyway. Seattle is Baguio with a big lake in the middle. Conifers, houses with half a landing and wooden shingled walls, parking on inclines. Seattle is beautiful. I bought a t-shirt for JJ at the company store. It has ones and zeros and is geeky but cute.
Things I [...]

I had the most surreal experience the other day with our team’s IT guy over lunch. This is a guy who has been married for more than a decade and has children.

The other night I accidentally started showering with my glasses on.
JJ was just asking me how clocks work - you know, processor speed and such. My voice went down a pitch or two; I had my titser-titser mode on. I wanted to draw our little graphs. Haha. I miss circuit design. HAHA WTF. Things I [...]

Just watched Office Space for the first time in years. I remember being in college and watching it, probably during one of those extraordinarily-long vacants, or blowing off a class or something.
