Ralco Short Throw Shifter

Leslie recently got back from NJ and today gave me the Ralco Short Throw Shifter (STS) Kit for the Genesis Coupe that I ordered and had delivered to him. It’s a complete kit containing a well-machined shifter (a very good copy of TWM Performance’s STS), a shiny height-adjustable shift knob (not gonna be installing this as I prefer the stock knob), shift boot retainer, and all the necessary nuts and bolts. Can’t wait to have it installed!

PLDT-DigiTel Share Swap

Two days ago, there was an 18% spike in the price of DigiTel because of rumors of it being acquired, supposedly by San Miguel who denied it. Unfortunately, I had let go of DGTL a few months back because it wasn’t moving and I figured I’ll just get back soon as I have some cash back. Unfortunately again, I never got back. Besides, I wouldn’t have been able to take advantage of the spike as my horizon is more than a single day.

Fried Anything

There was a time when I loved fried anything: chicken, pork, fish. You name it, if it’s fried I love it. But those days were long gone. These days, the aroma has become a stink, the crunchiness has become dryness, the juiciness has become greasiness, and the taste has become simply salty. Not that I wouldn’t eat fried. It’s just not my first, even second or third, choice.

UPDATE: Guess what was for dinner? Fried chicken wings! :P

Infinity Blade New Game+

I actually beat Zero Mech and the ancestor inside it a few days back but I wasn’t able to activate New Game+ mode so I had to go try beating them again. This time, I used the cheat exploit: Every time Zero Mech or the ancestor beats me, I exit Infinity Blade, terminate the Infinity Blade process, and start again in front of Zero Mech. Saved time going through the low-level champions again and again. I finally beat them both again and activated New Game+. Now I’m harvesting gold for the Zero Mech equipment now available on the store. This game sure is worth the $4.99 spent!
