Unfortunately, there is no such thing as spot-reducing. It’s a term that I learned from my wife, where people tend to concentrate on one area of working out, hoping it would improve that section only. As if. Just because you do 100 sit-ups daily it doesn’t mean you’ll lose...
I Conquered Mount Kinabalu!
posted by Gallivanter
Yes, it’s a long overdue post and it’s been a while since I talked about personal matters. We returned to Sabah on 3rd June for 11 days after a year hiatus. Our last trip was in May 2010, a memorable one where we got married at Sacred Heart Cathedral. I purchased our flight...
Eminem – Space Bound (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Classic Eminem, a story-telling rhapsody with the intro and verses sounding similar to “Hotel California” by Eagles. I’m not sure who sings the chorus but Eminem has perfected the art of slow “serious” topic spinning rap songs leaving others to hit the chorus...
David Cook – Goodbye To the Girl (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
So I’ve heard David Cook’s new album, and I’m not really impressed by his effort. Here is a dude whom I thought was the best singer to arise from American Idol, until Adam Lambert changed my view. Overall, I think the album’s a little better than his debut, but still...
Nicole Scherzinger – Funky Town (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Big chorus, big melody, typical of Nicole Scherzinger. Unfortunately, there isn’t much soul to it, if you’re looking for something soulful, this is obviously the wrong song. It’s a track that you do not need to dissect and just enjoy it at face value – good fun plus...
Jimmy Palikat – Anak Kampung (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
I absolutely love it. It’s songs like these that makes you realize that life can be so much simpler. I first head Jimmy Palikat’s song when I returned to Sabah recently, and after listening to it once, I fell in love with it. I now know how to play this tune with my guitar, the...
Michael Bolton featuring Rascal Flatts – Love Is Everything (Mp3 Download)
posted by Gallivanter
Michael Bolton just released a new albums, incorrectly titled, “Gems”, lots of old tunes re-sung with a bunch of duets. I think there’s only 3 songs, and of the lot, this one stands out a little. However, Rascal Flatts didn’t really need Michael Bolton in this case, it...
Deleting Friends off Facebook
posted by Gallivanter
I used to have over 1400 friends of Facebook, a mixture of friends and “friends”. Whenever people request friendship, I approve in a heartbeat, with this website in mind, I thought, more friends = more traffic for danielfranklingomez.com. And that was the basis of my thinking as I...
Theory of a Deadman – Out of My Head (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
They are one of my favorite rock bands, apart from Hinder and Breaking Benjamin. “Hate My Life” is one of my favorite songs of all time. I understand that Theory of a Deadman’s new album is due out this year, and I can hardly wait to get my hands on it. This is a safe song, a...

Simple. Document everything you do. Document every single thing and CC your boss and ensure more people are CC’ed. That’s it. There are no 2 ways around it. Documentation will give you evidence to depend on when backstabbing or office politics take place when it involves what you...
Maroon 5 featuring Christina Aguilera – Move Like Jagger (Mp3 Download) Review
posted by Gallivanter
Maroon 5 has jumped on the modern dance bandwagon. It sounds ridiculous, first because Maroon 5 + dance, secondly, Adam Levine singing about moving like Jagger, Mick Jagger? WTF? Aguilera further adds her vocals though doesn’t bring anything different to the table. However, I hate to...
