Better Play At Home!

It's so cool that I get to still see people from other companies in the most unfamiliar setting. Last week, we saw each other playing roulette at a local casino in Manila. It was quite awkward because we usually just see men and women of that caliber in boardrooms but then it looks like they like the same games I play too. I thought that I fared better but I am not going to be in the right mind to ask how much they won that night because as you know, we are just there to have some fun. Winning is a plus but with the way things are going on now in those places where smoking, drinking and monkey business is rampant I think I would just stick to my expertise which is Online games casino. I don't know why but I have never lost on line and I would like to keep it that way.

For serious gamers and players like me; you should know that I like what ROULETTED have on their site because they pick up the best ones in this business. Imagine the sites listed even have thousands worth of dollars of welcome credits. That is just one awesome opportunity to start earning and winning a whole lot more. Opportunities to play roulette game and other superb internationally recognized games are all there! Make sure you take advantage of the prizes and surprises that await you when you win them all even at the comfort of your home!

The Death of MTV Philippines

It looks like the end is near to MTV Philippines. As announced they will cease to air on February 15, 2010. I am one sad boy because I have patronized them since day 1 and never switched music channels. From international artists to local ones, every show was there to cover and present them to the Philippine public. I always get the chance to listen and watch the fresh MTV's when they do premiers and get ahead than my other friends. I always know what is up and coming because of them, now I would have to just stick with what is local. Darn I hate it!

I just wish it were the times when KC and Donita was around MTV... that would have really rocked. Their programs nowadays contain amateurish VJ's and hell I would have done better =)

Anyway since I am not in the mood for Valentines Day (which will happen tomorrow!) I will insert one of the cheeziest MTV that I found from a local radio jock.

Enjoy!

When AUNT JEMIMA Moved

I miss the time my Aunt was here. I still remember the things we used to do when I was younger. I always get to tag along with her traveling here and out of town because most of the time I was allowed to do so by my folks. I try as much as I can not to be a burden to her since most of the time the meetings she had to go to in far flung places were work related. It started my training to be a little independent early on. It was a good thing and I really appreciate it a lot when she says nice things about me after that. Until such time, they had to move to Irvine California since her folks are already based there. I love going to their place even if I had to travel from Fresno with my Mom back in 1995. Although we were able to do it on a weekend, she had trouble fixing her schedules when she decided to move to LA. Finding Moving Company Los Angeles was pretty hard; and she needed to lift a couple of furniture pieces also. With her frail built I had to help her out at that time.

It was my "Finals" week too so I had problems delegating myself to the task. Mom suggested us to call a toll free number 1-800-431-3920 to get a moving quote and see if they can do the job. Moving Companies Los Angeles was there on time and moved her things in a short span of 5 hours when it could have taken me a week. It was well worth it and I did not even have to lift a finger before my exams. My Aunt was glad too that she met these wonderful people from reputable Los Angeles Moving Companies. I on the other hand felt glad they were so polite and did the job efficiently. They loaded everything in the truck and went on their way to LOS ANGELES without any hitches. Everything went in smooth, nothing got damaged and everyone had a cold pitcher of lemonade after wards. I was so glad they came along when I needed them most.

The Avant Garde Wedding Photoshoot Video

As if I was never tired of writing about it, here is another thing that I made for the models and my colleagues at NOCTURNALS. These are the shots I compiled to simply thank them and have a memory of this event that happened in Barabara's Orchidarium Manila. That quaint little hidden place at the side of Luneta Park. They have short courses with Chinese Restaurant flare that appealed to mostly families and patrons from nearby residents. It was nice and tasty and never overcooked which surprised me. I am a foodie too so quality was very important to me. The pansit merienda though did not impress me. I wonder what happened to steak when I wanted to have that on the same day. If the served that and seared it right the day would have been all perfect.

Anyway enough about food because I am on a diet again! Hahaha... been having problems taking time to go to gym and gained a lot of weight over the holidays. I just hope I do not go over what I expect to be an appalling state. Geeze where are those diet pills when you need them huh?! LOL


I hope you enjoy the video I made even if this post is not that much about the photoshoot, I was just practicing how to embed videos from facebook to my blog. =)

Just enjoy the show!

The Good News: $8,000 Tax Credit

It looks like the economic turmoil in the US is ending and there is great news that a huge relief for first time home buyers and people who have owned their first residence in 5 years. The federal government is giving them a break from the stress this crunch has brought in the past year. I have learned today that income tax will be credited to them which could reach as high as $8,000.00. That is like hitting the jackpot and deserving what you have worked for. Imagine you would benefit from the taxes you paid for from the time you started your careers. The $8,000 Tax Credit is not a joke and can alleviate people who are still recovering and getting more burdens from the situation brought about by failing companies and ailing market forces. There are a lot of people who lost their jobs, got a new one and then got back on track so this is going to be a better alternative for them than purchasing a home which they could not afford. I really like the fact that they even give out around $ 6,500.00 tax credit to people who have lived 5 years consecutively in their first home from the last 8 years. This is a very big help for families who just started.

It has already been extended by the federal government and expanded at the very least; so the right move in this case to take advantage of the opportunity to get the huge tax credit they offer so you could purchase the home you need. It is plain and simple. If I were you guys I would seize the opportunity!

Maybe a Prayer Would Do

I have a friend and colleague that I recommended to work. I hope he performs quite well tomorrow when he tries it out for an interview. The post is in operations so there is kind of a prejudice in making it since he has experience from other call centers already, which he probably passed with flying colors. I know he can do it since he kind of was not just average but near great when we were in high school, yes ladies and germs he was my classmate then.

Surprise surprise it seems that I am getting still connected to these guys even if I kinda shyed away a few months or years ago, I don't know why but it is the right thing to do. I hope to still reconnect and fix things with them but not that much. Well you still hope for the best really in this day and age. I want to be as civil as I want to and yes I still love those guys even if I felt offended once, I probably just do not know what to do now.

I am just hoping for the best and expect nothing in return, at least I am helping them already which is the first thing that went on my mind when I started all of these things. Let everything fall into place please! Thank you God!

Make Sure They Are Covered

I have always found health care to be an important part of our lives. It has been one thing that I wanted to always get this for my folks because it is very expensive to get sick here or elsewhere. My Mom is already 65 which is the ceiling age for this particular benefit from the office but I still want them to have additional medicare supplement plans so I would not have to worry about them. My Dad on the other hand is still young and renewed his medical coverage this month. I know how he has to sometimes take regular visits to the doctor and get his heart checked and I am quite confident it will be all better. He was asked to undergo angioplasty procedures last year and he is a little hard headed. He chose not to do it anymore because he saw what my other relatives went through when he did this. Although that part got me worried because even if we think this procedure may be too much for his condition; the doctor still said so... and we are going to have second opinions on this matter I am sure.

The US President still has this on his priorities and has come across large challenges with the republicans and some of the democrats because it is very hard to fund this in the midst of economic turmoil. What is funny is that there was a woman who even went all out of her way to ask wedding proposals in YOUTUBE so she could get health insurance coverage. She got lots of proposals too as a matter of fact. If you think about it, it has something to do with the importance of getting covered. It is expensive to get sick nowadays and the last thing that you should get yourself into is to go out in the corporate world and not have it.

I am still lucky I have my folks covered. Some are not that lucky but if ever you have something to prioritize when you get work, make sure this is in your list since most of them offer this for free. I always want to get my folks taken cared of, I'm sure you do too.

Philippine Elections: I don't know who to vote!

Since election season is near and everybody else is in a scuffle to still try and get my vote as with the other undecided Filipinos, here I am to talk about Philippine elections on my site.

I know I haven't been the best citizen but hell I have been one knowledgeable hooligan when it comes to these affairs. But then again since I am undecided I'll tell you some pros and cons about who I am planning to vote for:

Noynoy Aquino - Mar Roxas



I don't know what he did, for me he is just riding on Kris and his parents legacy... for co sponsoring bills, well that is still not his work afaik... how could I vote someone I don't even know if he performs? If that were Belmonte then I would go with him a 100% but he is not that much visible, how would I or anyone know right? Mar Roxas on the other hand is okay, at least he did something as former cabinet secretary of DTI... as of now I am still undecided about the presidency.

Dick Gordon - Bayani Fernando



Both are performers, both have already proven themselves. But if my vote goes to them, would it be just a waste since they are not that popular?


Gibo Teodoro - Edu Manzano



Well it is hard to gauge someone I don't know. He looks straight forward and rich. I do not know if he did really do something in the AFP but boy he did not rid that agency of corruption. Manzano did great with OMB but will that be enough for a national post?! I don't know...


As for the other candidates, I guess they all are a big joke. Who do you think we should vote for huh?!

The Want to Live in North Carolina

I was listening to Roberta Flack this evening and really got in the mood to lounge around. So I went ahead and read regular OPRAH guest MAYA ANGELOU'S novel I know why the caged bird sings. I was moved about how she meticulously described and mirrored every place the story went and then I knew why and what she was famous about. I love how she showed every depth and angle of her life as a teenager growing up in North Carolina. I think it is how she still found beauty in all of it. I was supposed to also read on Michael Jordan's biography (together with his sky blue and white striped shorts) but that seemed too early to spend time on; and when I looked up their stuff on the Internet I was surprised. It seems that I was having an all star North Carolina evening. I envy these great names that got the chance to live there. It made me want to check out Wilmington NC Real Estate while I am there.

So I went ahead and stood up got my books folded and hung so I could take a good night's rest. I was looking at postcards I got from late last year. My Aunt who lives just a stone's throw away from the beach went ahead and bragged about it and I am planning to invest in real estate probably by next year. I have the resources now to buy something for myself so I am going ahead and doing this even without consulting other people at home. I like the feel and ambiance of what Carolina Beach Real Estate offers so if ever I plan to live somewhere else aside from local concept houses; it would be just that. I feel the need to live in North Carolina all of a sudden... and it would be a better place to start when all I could think of this day is that!

My New GAS: Blackberry Curve 8320

Okay, ladies and gentlemen I admit I did succumb to my urges again to buy a new gadget. Well since my phone has died on me three times already, I think it is time for that handy dandy thing to retire already. It has served its purpose and has been with me for YEAAARS! I love everything that we went through but since it has literally been too damaged already that I have been too shy to take it out a couple of times when we go out, I already bought a Blackberry Curve 8320... and boy here comes a new adventure.

I got in on this one, mint condition and I should not tell you the price because you might be shocked how much I got this for less taxes LOL. Sometimes I think I am so lucky because I did not find any trouble getting this other than paying for it of course!

With this, then I now have something to tinker until the next smartphone impresses me =)
