When Facebook decided to create a latest update ticker, they made it mandatory. Not everyone liked it, including me. In my search to get rid of it, I asked my friends in Facebook for help. A friend of mine pointed me to Google Chrome extensions where I found the Get Back Old Facebook Chat and Ticker Disabler extension.
Try it out, it works for me, for now. I just hope Facebook doesn’t find a way to kill this extension.
Last Sept. 14, My wife and I got invited again to an event in Orchard Road Restaurant in Megamall. This time they are launching a new play area in their store to cater to the kids (of all ages). I thought that the play area would be just the normal playsets with slides or toys. I was wrong again.
The new play area was a state-of-the-art interactive setup where human motion is captured to interact with a projected display on the ground. The setup offers several games that you can play using hand and feet gestures. It was a collaboration of Ochard Road and Playpoint Philippines (http://www.playpoint.asia/). The setup is called EyePlay, an interactive playground system, combining intuitive human motion with interactive floor or wall projections.

So it’s the end of September again, which also happens to be my birthday. I’m 33 years young and I still feel 25 sometimes, and 50 most of the time. I don’t celebrate my birthday, and I often just use this day to reflect on my life.
I’ve realized that I haven’t shared enough of myself so I guess it’s time I start writing about my life for a change.

I’ve always wanted to know how it feels to be bald. I was fortunate enough to get the non-hairloss gene from my parents and my hair grows so fast that shaving and regular haircuts become a chore.
When I finally got my first clipper, the Andis Headliner
Since it was already 10:50pm, my wife went to bed while I showered and prepared for an 11pm meeting. I looked in the bathroom mirror and noticed something: there was a small patch of hair that we missed. I was curious to know if it will be easy to even out alone.
So, I tried to trim it myself. That was a very bad decision. After the first stroke of the clipper, I realized that the trimming guide I used was actually thinner than what we used initially: I created a long streak of bald space above my right ear. I tried to even it out but it was too late. The difference was so obvious I was left with only one choice: trim everything AGAIN. I spent another two hours of trimming, checking, and trimming again to make it all even. What came out of it? See for yourself:
What did I learn from this experience?
Here’s a few that painfully comes to mind:
Have you ever had a similar experience? Care to share?
