When Tigers fly
I never really considered Tiger Airways, even when I’m trying to be cheap with my budget. That is primarily because flying via Tiger in the Philippines meant having to go to Clark.

I have no life
Damnit, why am I online again? They shouldn’t Internet cafes in every corner *grumble* It’s drizzling outside, so I ducked in this one building to get out of the rain. There’s an Internet Cafe so might as well go online. I like this computer though… they have Opera! Yay! The computers also have this coin…
Got any book recommendations?
