7 years together today. :)

…in more ways than one. And I want them. The San Antonio Spur’s TS Commander LTs look really good with that whole skeletal thing going on.

I admit, I have a thing for black and white shoe colorways, but the way the details are laid out – the bone structure graphic on the upper, a translucent sole revealing another skeleton graphic – and the way the whole package just comes together, it’s sick. And this is coming from a guy who’s no big fan of adidas basketball shoe design.

I wonder when/if they’re going to be released in the Philippines.

I totally support human experiments – the good kind. What’s a “good” kind of human experiment?

The Fun Theory is a movement initiated by Volkswagen aimed at

the thought that something as simple as fun is the easiest way to change people’s behaviour for the better.

Does it work? Hell yes.

Will it be sustainable? That remains to be seen, but for the meantime, know the fact that people can be awesome when they want to.

Boasting 440+ hours of work, LegoMatrix proudly presents the scene that made The Matrix what it was (well, aside from the one where Trinity jumps in the air and kicks the shit out of a guard early in the movie).

It’s short, but definitely sweet. In the asskicking kind of way.

For its 20th anniversary, Empire reunites actors and actresses with their iconic Hollywood film roles. The gorgeous portrait and set shots include Mel Gibson as William Wallace, Arnold Schwarzenegger as The Terminator and Anthony Hopkins as Hannibal Lecter, among others.

Very cool.

So I just finished Modern Warfare 2 last night, and I was totally blown away by everything – the gameplay, the action, the story and the music.

Kudos to Infinity Ward. Man, they really know how to make an epic experience.

Modern Warfare 2 for action game of the year – believe the hype!

This is one of the coolest things I’ve seen. See more at skinnycoder’s Flickr set.

The Burj Dubai, currently the tallest man-made structure in the world. See, before I read about what was really happening there, I would have looked at this picture and be wowed. Now it just looks like Orthanc during Saruman’s reign.

Pearl of the Orient, where did you go? I never got to know you. No more pristine blue waters. No more uncongested roads. No more litter-free surroundings. No more unobstructed blue skies. No more dignified politicians. Lesser artists which are truly admirable. Lesser people hopeful for the following day.

All I’ve ever seen of you is but a shadow of your former glory. All I have known are dead rivers. Smoke-filled avenues. Decaying buildings. A steel sky of billboards. Politicos which quibble amongst themselves. Personalities willing to sell mind and body to the highest bidder. A people mired by poverty and hopelessness.

I can only relive you now through old pictures and memories of other people. But I’m grateful for that, at least. It gives me resolve.

We need to revive you, Old Philippines. You had a better future than the one we face now. Where do you think we can start?

New York is one of those magical places that I’ve never seen, but feel so swayed over by (see also Turkey and Greece). Now I realize nothing is ever what it seems, but this city has had its own fair share of trials and it stands still.

Aside from the gorgeous black and white photography of the city streets and the sweeping shots of the night skyline, the beat in this track is sick.
