Site Updates!
The iRadio has been drastically updated. I’ve deleted ‘Party Tracks’, added “Acoustic” and renamed “Salsa” to include Bossa Nova and R&B-styled Reggaeton. (No, not all reggaeton tracks sound like Gasolina!) You’ll get the idea when you listen to Daddy Yankee’s Coraza Divina. Oh and a bunch of songs have been deleted and a lot more have been uploaded.

To those who are new to this site, my music is centered around Korean music, lightly flavored with English, Spanish, French & Japanese music. Enjoy!


Whack The Mac!
August 15th, 2007
Categories: Daily, Drama, Geek Stuff

Warning! Unusual rant. I totally snapped after my new Mac just died.

Just when I get my Photoshop, it died. The damn thing just stopped working while I was checking my gmail. It wouldn’t force quit nor restart, so I had to reboot the hard way. Then it couldn’t startup again. I mean, it has only been 2 months since I got my Macbook and it’s already half dead either because of overheating or a hard disk error.

My laptop is my life. I play, communicate and work with it. No computer under my use has ever had major problems. I meticulously care for its software and other functions (though not too conscious about the cleanliness of its exterior heh!). No one defrags and run anti-virus/spyware programs as frequently as I do. Even the supposed impenetrable Mac was well taken care of.

Seriously, with all the hype about how superior Macs are to Windows, this is the shittiest experience I’ve had with a computer. I didn’t even do anything for it to die. Gmail can’t possibly kill 2GB RAM on a 2.16Ghz Intel Core Duo with enough space left to fit 20 HQ movies. Can you imagine if I was in a middle of an essay and it just suddenly died? I would have seriously jumped off the building.

Steve Jobs better be making laptops with some durability in the future. I mean you are quite a failure of an engineer if a user can’t trust his/her own computer to function without suddenly wiping out the hard disk for no reason at all.

When Apple is done fixing it, I will be selling it for cheap. I should have stayed a loyal customer to Sony to begin with. Looks like I will end up with a Pink Sony Laptop after all.

TO MAC FANATICS: Shut the hell up. It’s not hip for a computer to die on you may it be Windows, Linux or Mac. With such a horrifying experience, I will probably never own an Apple product again.


Recommended Animes! Part 1
August 8th, 2007
Categories: Advice, Anime, Youtube

I’ve never really been an anime fan - especially when the anime club in every school look like a congregation of losers without lives. I used to watch a few after school when was in my early teens, for dinner companionship. But I like watching anime now (though I’m not one of them no-life people), thanks to a certain someone, who forced me to watch Blood+.

Animes offer a mature escape from reality - unlike most cartoons. For me, watching TV or movies have always just been an escapade from reality. That means I don’t watch anything unless I’m forced, stressed or emotionally disturbed. This is why I don’t like watching shows with real actors. I prefer them to be as far as reality as possible. As a kid/teen, I’d watch cartoons. But now, at 21, cartoons have lost their appeal. And animes has filled the hole that cartoons cannot.
