Readability is an application that converts web pages into a clean, comfortable reading view, with syncing to allow for the reading of articles at a later date. The interface is also very clean and simple. The ability to cross platforms is also a very neat feature. Supposed you came across an article in your browser but have no time to read it you can just save it in Readability and on the way home use your Smartphone or your Kindle to load the article. Converting the web page into a more readable format makes it faster for you to download the page in 3G connection and also make it easier to view it in smaller screens.
Easily the app of the year in my opinion.

8 Suites Tagaytay - Review
The elegant bath tub positioned beside the window.
Linens and pillows are of very good quality. Slept like a baby.
How about having breakfast on this breathtaking view?
A+ for the quality of the drapery used.
Being on a remote location, the cable signal is not too good. Their Wifi was not working the day we went there but the good thing is you can request for DVD and books. B
Dock for your iPhone.
Aside from the bland food and menu choices, we enjoyed our short but luxurious stay in 8suites.
Grade: B-
Best Feature: Chocolate themed colors for the rooms

Reboot - Restart - Refresh
I've contemplated if I should close this blog and start a new one. But my sentimental side has gotten the best of me when I realized this site is 4 year old not to mention having a Page Rank 1 isn't too bad also.
To start with, I'm officially an OFW. Rewind to 2008, I quit my then 3 year job for an opportunity to work in Abu Dhabi. Then the sub-prime crisis came in and destroyed my dreams. Fast-forward to 2012, I'm here somewhere in the Middle East working for my newly reformed aspirations. I'm married and have a daughter to come home to after a few more months which could not have been possible if the recession didn't happen in 2008. Interesting how life works. I can throw all the cliches out there like "every cloud has a silver lining" but it's the truest of words.
With new experiences and challenges ahead, there will be changes to this blog because I'm not looking at it as monetary tool anymore. Hence, no ads or paid posts only fresh and unbiased opinions.
So now, here's to a frest start and let The Brix Life ver 2.0 experience begin!
(commencing blog walk to get some audience.. ^^)

Just got back from Asian Hospital as dad was confined again due to his asthma. Watched TV for 1 1/2 day which is a good thing to relax after a busy week and before another hectic schedule. The room was nice and the environment is like staying on a three star hotel. Of course, the bills will be expensive but thank God for health cards.
This previous year I've learned a lot about Architecture due to my new project which is a Mixed Use Building. I've also got more experience on stuff like Elevators, Aluminum Claddings, Stone finishes etc. Now I have a deeper appreciation when I see stuff such as those. I walk inside the elevator and notice the mirror finish for the interior walls. I learned the difference between a Mirror and hairline finish.
I now appreciate the small nuisances about glass walls and it's aluminum frame. I've learned a lot. It's a good thing knowing that I'm gaining such valuable knowledge that I can use in the future specially now that I'm a father.
I also wonder about the Nurses working in the hospital. Knowing how hard it is to find worse a nurse here, I feel that they appreciate and feel very lucky working in a high end hospital. I noticed that the scrubs for men were not as bad I thought. The cloth feelsl itchy though.
