Blueberry Ice Cream Flavored Oreos
When I was out shopping I noticed these ice cream flavored Oreos. I don’t know if they’re local to Asia or if they’re being sold in the US, but it looked interesting, and kind of weird, so I figured I’d give them a try. When I opened the pack I could smell blueberry right away,…

Reason’s Why Globe Telecom’s Customer Service Sucks
Continuing right along with my problems with Globe, I’d like to give a few examples of why Globe Telecom sucks horribly when it comes to customer service. As a service provider, customer service is an area that Globe should be excelling in, but they obviously don’t know the first thing about taking care of customers. …

Reasons Why Globe Telecom’s WiMax Sucks
On the 13th I wrote a blog post about Globe services. I tried to keep the tone neutral, to be fair. We’ve been having some problems with them, but I wanted to give them a fair chance to get their shit together so the post was mostly just about what they offer in terms of…

Dueling Shamisens
I just came across a post on Tokyo Mango about the Yoshida Brothers, a pair of actual brothers in their early 30s who play their shamisens (basically a Japanese guitar) in a duo.
