In cleaning, the goal is sanitation & appearance. It involves less thinking, as there are usually set standards or ways on doing it.
In organizing, the goal is efficiency & productivity. It involves more thinking, as each situation & individual is unique.
These are the things I’ve learned since I’ve started using ecigs last June 2009.
This post doesn’t contain links to wikis, forums, product pages, research studies – all of which you could find thru Google, and all of which I have already laborously read.

Toodledo has an official iPhone app being sold for $2.99. It was perfectly fine for my basic need of editing tasks offline. Soon, however, I craved for something pretty, and luckily, 2Do was available at the App Store.

I got to give credit to Nokia for the “ring once” feature on their phones. It is a handy feature which spares me from frantically rummaging thru my bag just to silence an endlessly ringing cellphone.
The iPhone, however, does not have such a feature. iPhones loop ringtones endlessly & embarrassingly.
Below is the video version of the entire process:
Two years ago, I took on a job in advertising … with fear & insecurity. I knew the creative mind that is required. And knowing the ultimate left brain that I am, I doubted until the minute I was signing the contract if they or I were making a terrible mistake.
At this point in this entry, I’m supposed to give a summary of what transpired in the last couple of years. But a paragraph or two just can’t give justice to the experience.
A month ago, I officially left that company, & I’m guessing, the industry. I wish I kept a journal or took more pictures during my stint. I would’ve loved to remember all the details, especially when I’ve already moved on to my next adventure.
It was one helluva ride. And the people are still terribly missed.
Til next time.
Plastic Sealer / Found at Office Warehouse, Eastwood Mall / Price: P690
You know you want one. You know you do. Even if you don’t know how or where you’re gonna use it. I finally found a reason to own one: To protect my less-often used stuff. Definitely a lot tidier than my usual plastic cover & scotch tape.
As some of you have probably noticed, this website is undergoing a revamp.
Although the posts & comments have already been migrated, there is still a lot to do:
I lost my faith in the International Express Mail Service (EMS) in the Philippines. And lost a certain amount of faith in the country in the process.
I had two packages sent from abroad to the Philippines, worth $17 each. Both were sent on the same day. One was delivered right at my doorstep, and was paid P35.00.
The other package didn’t arrive. Instead, I received a parcel notice from EMS, informing me that I need to pick up the package at the EMS head office near the domestic airport in Pasay City.
It was not easy to say goodbye to Remember the Milk. I’ve shelled out $25 for a Pro account (& I’m cheap when it comes to these things).
I also got a ton of tasks already up & running in RTM. Since they conveniently didn’t put an export feature, this has increased my reluctance to transfer to another task management system.
Another reason for my hesitation is that Toodledo, my best alternative, has an ugly website. I love my websites pretty. And RTM is pretty.
Unfortunately, it seems like pretty is all they have going. Continue reading Now using (ugly) Toodledo … Good riddance, (pretty) Remember the Milk
