Southology
Isang araw ng bakasyon lang pala ang katapat…
After a full six months since the last update, Southbound lives! Sus. Inauguration lang pala ni Noynoy ang kelangan. :p More soon, hopefully. *fingers crossed*
Weekend! Wheeeeee!
It’s been a busy week, but now the weekend is here: time to prepare a bunch of posts for next week! Lots of new stuff for the site–an article about 55AZ Southern Flavors from Hanz, winners of the Starbucks planner promo, new contributors, more directory entries to be uploaded. I’ve got a waaay-delayed (sorry Trixie!) […]
Whoops! No post today…
… because I am such a genius sometimes. I had today’s post all ready before I left home this morning, and I emailed it to myself so I would be able to retrieve a copy later in the day, since I knew I would be staying at my brother’s place tonight. In one of those […]
Kilalanin: Get to know the presidentiables
I’d like to post this event in the billboard but I don’t have very clear info, and there are no contact numbers on the posters I’ve seen. Can’t find anything online, either. I’m hoping some of our readers have more info to share. Here’s what I know:
There will be a get-to-know your presidentiables event in […]
OK, I. Am. Going. To. Scream. PLDT, humanda kayo.
Because it is the new year and I don’t want to get my blood pressure up (as if it wasn’t sky-high already), I will not tell the whole tale of my undying angst with PLDT. Maybe I will tell it some other day, IF MY DSL DOESN’T GO BACK ONLINE! (If you’re wondering how I’m […]
Happy New 2010!
One of my favorite “Happy New Year” messages received via text this year: “Well, here’s to the start [of] another year… May it not suck as bad as 2009.”
Cheerful, aren’t I? ;)
No matter. Forget that 2009 was the year of–well, I’ll just leave this unsaid. (Forget nga, e.) It’s the start of a new year, […]
Adopt a cat through CARA
I’m very proud and happy to announce that we’ve put up a banner ad / link to CARA (Compassion and Responsibility for Animals), a non-profit NGO dedicated to helping the plight of animals in the country. Their main thrust is to educate people regarding animal welfare and the rights of animals; reduce pet (specifically cat) […]
Urgh, busy again… Sorry about the lack of updates!
I try to keep the “I’m-so-busy-I-can’t-breathe-or-get-up-to-take-a-leak” posts to a minimum, but it’s been more than a week and I just want you guys to know I haven’t forgotten Southbound… I’m just prioritizing my rest! :p Down with intestinal flu / gas / acid reflux last week (thanks to Aweng for playing Florence Nightingale), so was […]
I should really learn how to Tweet…
I can’t even remember if I already have a Twitter account or not. But it’s on my list of mini-projects for Southbound. I can see it now… sitting down to eat at a new restaurant, and being able to share the experience of that first bite with the world! :) OK, so that sounds a […]
Staying safe in the South – Mind this modus operandi
Just sharing the carnapping / abduction modus operandi of a group that is known to operate in the South. Thanks to Phillip Kimpo for his narration and to Donna Rose Bayona for sharing this with us.
First post using my new toy–er, tool
It’s a beautiful sunny morning (if you ignore the felled trees you’d never know a typhoon passed this way recently) and I’m enjoying it (as usual) with breakfast (OK, lunch) at McDonald’s in Northgate (free wifi). I’ve got my bottle of Mineshine, a six-piece chicken nuggets (missed the breakfast menu by thirty minutes), and, most […]
Oh JOY!!! I have internet access at home again!
After more than two months of no DSL, almost a month of no landline connection, and more than a month of customer-service-hotline-tag with poor powerless technical support people, I finally have internet at home again. Does this mean I will be seeing less of Starbucks Madrigal? }:-)
Thanks to: Shep Lara for sending the email that […]
South Secrets: There’s Deer in Them Thar Fields!
Here’s a little something I just had to share with the Southbound community: there are real live deer living in the South! I really don’t know if that’s a strange thing or not (heck, who knows what Singson has roaming around Baluarte, way up north?). All I know is, the first time my sister saw […]
My official “Southbound is back” post
Tadaaah!!! Welcome to the new and improved Southbound. It’s more than just a new header, by the way. Read on to find out what to expect from Southbound’s relaunch (and to get an insight on why it had to happen in the first place).
No feature post for today, I was fooling around with the forum :)
Just want to let you guys know that I’m not posting anything today because I’ve been busy setting up the forums. The general structure is there, though there aren’t any threads or posts yet… yeah, it looks kinda kawawa that way, but at least it’s moving along! There’s a throwaway thread that Hanzel started for […]
Southbound has a new look! Finally!
Southbound has a new look, but there are still some holes in the implementation, so bear with me awhile… I’m working on it as fast as I can! :D
Updates on the Re-Relaunch
So what’s up with Southbound? To answer the question, Betty decides to share a progress report of sorts. :)
Yes, I’m still alive :)
Hi folks. It’s been a month too long since I said I would relaunch the site, and I still haven’t gotten it off the ground. No, I haven’t forgotten about it or given up on it… I’ve just been running myself ragged recently and I’ve had to deal with a lot of life changes, so […]
Ode to Code
Well, this is fun. And I mean it! I’m enjoying working on the relaunch. Unfortunately, it’ll take a few more days to tie up all the loose ends and get everything online. Loyal residents of Barangay Southbound, sit tight! We’ll have a new face (and other body parts) soon!
Hey! Is it May 1 already?
We’re not ready with the relaunch yet! ;p For other bloggers and those techies out there who care to know, I’m still fixing kinks in the new theme (yes, I know, it’s not rocket science, but it can still get pretty confusing at times). I’d also like to add a bunch of new features, maps, […]
