I find myself agreeing with most of the list, but this one comes as a surprise: 2. Trash your “cookies,” small files (stored in your Internet browser) that…

  • Singapore via Cebu Pacific! – Updated!

    Cebu Pacific’s website and booking facilities now includes Singapore! I tried booking to see how much the fare would cost. The promo fare (buy from July 20 – 26, travel from Aug 31 – Oct 19) amounts to PHP 6,327.00. The non-promo fare amounts to Php 8,327.00 roundtrip. Not bad, eh? It comes out higher…

  • Widgetized

    I have to admit that I’m being a bit of a hypocrite for making a widget when I hardly use any of the widgets I installed. But hey, it’s leopard print. It’s cute. It’s basically a RSS feed reader. Run this widget and presto! You can check and read any updates on justwandering.org. The catch:…

  • Mr. Fish

    In front of one of the houses inside Jim Thompson’s compound is a huge clay pot that is filled with water and inhabited by this fish. With tours around the house every 20 minutes, I think he has learned to pose when people get near and not dive and hide. He was facing the house…

  • Stalked by a raincloud

    In the days before my departure, it started raining. I have nothing against rain; it brings down the temperature and it can even cancel classes. However, I’m no longer in school and rain and travel don’t really go well together. On the morning of the 17th of May, the sun was out and it was…
