Nanbantei of Tokyo
I wanted to try a new resto in Greenbelt 3 so I decided to check out Nanbantei of Tokyo.

So asks Scientific American. But first, a little story, which I can tell knowing you will only connect it to my first name and my blog, not my flesh and soul. I used to be bullied. A lot. Systematically. For years. What happens then is two things: you get paranoid. Every bat of an eye, every word, every whisper, every body movement, you start suspecting they’re laughing behind your...

Vista vs XP = Mistress vs Wife
JP: What is a good OS to install? Vista or XP?
J: If you want aesthetics, go with Vista. If you want stability, stick with XP.
