“Lukewarm Chicken Dung” Blogger
Judging from the number of posts on this blog, which is very few and far in between, you might think of me as a “hangat-hangat tahi ayam” blogger, or if I may corrupt the translation of the Malay proverb, a “lukewarm chicken dung” blogger.
When you say someone is hangat-hangat tahi ayam, you really mean to [...]
More Active Blogging In June
I suppose a blog can only become a blog in its true sense if it is updated every now and then. This blog is as good as dead already, which is a pity because I’ve just renewed the domain name for another two years.

“Pinakang” Is Now “Sans Serif…”
As part of this blog’s re-branding exercise, I decided to change the title from “Pinakang…” to “Sans Serif…”.

Mindanao Blog
I’D PREVIOUSLY POSTED this entry in my old — now defunct — blog on Blogsome. That time, it came to me that maybe I should start a blog about Asean; because the diversity of region fascinates me. But the-spur-of-the-moment enthusiasm did not last. I had no energy to keep that blog going.
