The online version of the UK newspaper, The Telegraph, has a very interesting section on signs. Here’s one sample:
So, all we need is a security guard…
Update on eBay.ph finds
The finds on eBay.ph are getting better by the day. The seller hawking that HP 2133 MiniNote for Php20k is now selling an Acer Aspire One with WinXP, 160GB HDD, 1GB RAM and a 6 cell battery for only Php19.5k!

Finds on Ebay.ph
Was trolling through ebay.ph for deals in time for Christmas and found two interesting ones (besides my earlier find with the HP 2133 MiniNote) – a Canon Digital Ixus 860IS for just Php14,000 and a Samsung i780 (with 2GB SD Card) for only Php15,600 (of course, it’s just available in red, so it’s not very [...]

Pics of Cebu
