I’ve been using the betas and the release candidates of Firefox 3 for some time. But now the final is out! I, of course, am already using it. Based on my experience using the betas, RCs, and now the final, it’s definitely a huge improvement over Firefox 2. My biggest irritation with Firefox 2 has been the memory leak and it seems to be gone or at least majorly minimized. That alone is good reason to use Firefox 3. Get it here! Now!
Avenue Q is a musical that’s like a twisted version of Sesame Street. And I found it quite funny and pretty entertaining :P It’s about a fresh out of school puppet named Princeton who set out to do what most fresh graduates do: go out into the “real” world and work. Soon after, he ends up in Avenue Q where he meets a whole bunch of quirky neighbors and what follows is a hilarious two hours. The cast was great in providing the voices to the puppets as well as providing additional facial expressive clues. Don’t just focus on the puppets. Worth mentioning is Joel Trinidad (Val’s favorite) and Aiza Seguerra (“former child star”, her own words). Unfortunately they replaced Rachel Alejandro with Carla Guevarra. Or maybe that’s fortunate because Carla was pretty good. Whatever, it’s still one good play to watch. It’s the final run here in Manila so try not to miss it.

I was looking for a short book to read and I ended up with The Missing Piece Meets The Big O. I turned out to be pretty nice. It’s a story about a missing piece looking for the one it belongs with. On one level, it is a nice children’s book but on another level it’s a nice adult’s book. It is one of those classics that can be enjoyed by both children and adults. Can’t wait to read Shel Silverstein’s other works. Quite a few but good thing they’re short :D

Finally, the long-awaited return to Crystal Beach for more surfing.
We took the newly opened Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway (SCTEX). I’ll have to say that it beats NLEX hands down. It has NLEX’s nice asphalt surface PLUS Star Tollway’s low traffic. It seemed to be a very good place to open up your throttle and see what your driving machine is capable of. And open the throttle I did. Hell, everyone did. Khae, who was driving a gen 8 H car, was going at 160kph and I was doing the same (to keep up, y’know). Most everyone else were just a little bit slower and two bikers even went by at around 180kph. I noticed that the car was still moving along smoothly, no shakiness as when I tried 160kph at Star Tollway. Nice surface indeed.
At the resort, we had ready our board shorts, rash guards, and sunblock. There was only one problem: the surf was FLAT! For the two days! With surfing out of the question, it became just your regular beach outing of swimming, chilling, and kayaking.
It was my first time kayaking but I think I was able to get the hang of it. Michelle and I paddled beyond the far end of Crystal Beach to check out a big cluster of pine. We beached the kayaks then ran across the very hot sand to the pines. We stayed for a bit under the shade of the pines to rest. We then walked and ran back to the kayaks and paddled back to Crystal Beach. It was a total of only about a kilometer but our arms and backs were aching already! Seems to be good upper body work out.
