Spell Organized

I need to get all my things organized. I bought a couple of cabinets to get my gadgets in alpha but it always seems not enough. I'm also thinking of moving some of my furniture down south as I discussed in the previous post but I have to make sure I get all of them sorted out first because I don't want to live there with tons of boxes. I might need storage so I can put everything in one place first then help me move them via trucks down south. It's also cheaper and I won't have to sacrifice getting my things soaked on heavily forested areas like that. I want to also get some of my office equipment moved there too. I don't want to spend time and be cut off from the rest of the world. I need to have a couple of things still within my reach even if I was in vacation. A couple of months ago I had a hard time getting Internet connection to access my mail and leave instructions in the office.

The high ticket items such as the sofa, bed and a couple of side tables I plan to re-use will also be in the list. I don't have enough muscle to move those things on my own obviously (but really I do) and I hope everything will be alright when the trucking service comes. I want to make this transfer as smooth as possible. I don't want to get my folks stressed. I don't want to get myself involved too much because my back still hurts. If the doctor says I can go ahead and lift heavy again like I used to (thanks to mild scoliosis!) I'd really love to help but since I can't I'd rather pay people to do this for me. I hope it won't cost me an arm and a leg. Things are hard these days and the last thing I'd want to have is a bill that says I'd have to suffer a couple of months just to pay for it. Good thing there are storage services that can help me out in these times!

I've been thinking about a lot of things lately and one of them is getting a place of my own. There are a couple of things that would stop me from doing so. First is that no one is going to be left at home. Mom and Dad wouldn't be able to pay for the bills. It's so hard for me but I am doing that right now. I want to get a condo unit somewhere near my work place. I want to also get a car too but it seems to be a long shot since I have to be responsible for things at home. If I chose to buy a car now, I wouldn't be able to do so because we don't have decent parking lots anymore at home. That would be troublesome to just leave vehicles outside our house because carnapping is very rampant in our side of the woods. I am a little frustrated. I wanted to have a place of my own so I can invite friends over or get noisy and naked without anyone noticing LOL. It's something to that extent.

Did you guys know that Neptune was discovered today in 1846? But now they all want the other planets to be taken out of our orbit. Why are we owning them when they are not revolving around our Sun. Maybe because they are Globe or Smart. Not funny I know.

I miss making videos. This I think was the last one from way back November last year. I need to make new ones for my portfolio. I need to show people my work and this one could spell it differently. Maybe if I get and IPAD this would be a great way to showcase my photography. Sometimes it does work. Now that I have HD video capability in my hand I'm going to try and see if I can combine my shots with videos too. I hope it all works. Since youtube announced they have around 15 minutes of video time now, this may actually be a good thing. I want high fashion shoots than anything in this industry. I hope I do justice to the things I learned in the workshop with the xman.

I want to do more photoshoots this weekend. I hope I have time for that!

My House in the South

I'm thinking of new things to add to our home in the south. If all things push through my brother would have the house complete and get it done before the year ends. That is just an ambitious estimate so I'm going to give myself around the first quarter of this year to get that fixed. After that we would need to get some key pieces bought but I have a special need for western furniture. I like how natural looking wood gets inserted in a theme I was thinking for the space. I am not a professional interior designer or architect but I have aesthetics in the mix somewhere. I want to show you guys a few of my favorites... it coincides with the theme I have in mind!

I want this piece outside my picket fence inspired porch. It is somewhat a rustic/country feel obviously that I want to happen. I love how natural it looks like and the wood used is finished greatly. I don't want a metal one because that would probably end up more industrial or futuristic. I want to get lots of pillows and a larger throw on top of that. Maybe a little orange or terracotta which hints more of a Hispanic/Mexican feel. I can probably add a few dried chilis and hang them around as garlands or art deco. I think I'm inspired! I want this to be a place of refuge in the late afternoon so I could get lemonade or something similar for refreshments. I need a place to put that though. Ah! I need a side table!

If I place this quite near that and make sure it doesn't block the smooth swing it induces this would be perfect! The woodsy look is actually continued and this one has that perfect height. I also need to think about what I'll have in the interior and make sure that it is also comfortable.

I won't stop myself from purchasing an LCD TV and would like to see if this set would actually fit. The lounge chair would be a necessity for me and my Dad. I want to still have a comfortable place to watch movies if I'm not in the mood to roam around the heavily forested area which this will all be located. I don't have to worry about cleaning too because Mom is going to get covers for them all if we're not around. Nice choices huh?!

How about you?! Have you considered getting these types of furniture?! Or would you buy something else? Tell me about it alright?!

I wonder where the Road User taxes went. I heard they went into 5 ghost projects and a couple to the bonuses of people in the transportation offices. It is clearly not allowed. Whoever did this must have his head roll.

People are thinking to dredge the Pasig river and around 6 more rivers elsewhere in the country. Apparently it has become so shallow it has cause the water to recede back in Marikina when the last Typhoon Ondoy struck. There must be something they could do to prevent that. I heard even Eastwood is encroaching the river. Get MMDA to tear it down like the squatters!

There's a Housing fair in Megamall this weekend. I wonder if there are condominium units available. Pagibig is also doing its job lending money to those who need a loan in that event. I don't even know if that is feasible. I think I'll drop by just to make sure.

I'm having troubles getting a hotel reservation. I have to get 2 rooms for 6 people. I might pay a hefty amount of like 5-10 thousand pesos per night but it's hell of a lot easier right? Wrong, I don't even have an idea what to get. ohhhh myyyyy!

I hope someone helps me out there... (T_T)

I'm still not drinking beer. It has been over a month and a half til I tasted em. That goes for cigarettes too. I must be getting a little crazy. I'm seeing things already. I am being tempted to drink Ice cold beer and smoke a couple of sticks since I see them in people. You might think I'm a lunatic. Oh yeah, I think I am.

I watched Glee this afternoon. I didn't get to watch the morning premier. It was great though because Charice did not look cheap in the show. For most of it, she looked very good and even out singing the lead actress there. I applaud them both because the lead was classically clear and trained while Charice was raw and bold. If I were to see who did a greater job, they have their own strengths. I might be a little biased but I like Charice's version of Listen and I think it is going to get number one downloads spot in Itunes. I don't have itunes credit so I'm downloading that off torrent like the rest of you guys LOL. I'm equally proud of her though!

It's Lunar New Year here I guess. There are a lot of mooncakes around again. I don't like it though. I haven't seen those good ones with salted eggs on them. That just made my mouth water. I hate it when I spoil my diet. Diet!? who me?! You must be joking! LOL

A lot of my blogger friends are asking for photos with greetings on em. I'm not that photogenic. I'm going to make videos I guess. I'll check if I can squeeze one this weekend. Effort eh?! Hahahah... Anyway I said I'll try right? That's better than nothing.

It's the anniversary of the Ondoy Typhoon which flooded most of the metro. The rains here are like Cow's and Buffalo's instead of cat's and dogs.. Sheesh... It's like the second coming of that same typhoon. Good thing the rains stop in the evening. I wonder if there are still problems in the water situation. Angat Dam should be full now right?! No one's telling people in the news yet. I hope we don't experience that scarcity like we did last year. I'm getting thirsty.

No beer + No smokes makes me a dull boy! But women ooooohhhh we can talk about that LOL!

Save the Date!

My friends are getting married. April and Louie had been an integral part of my friends from the NOCTURNALS photography group. What amazes me is that I sort of got the chance to see how their relationship blossomed into what it is today. I always thought they were perfect for each other; and I know nothing but the nicest things about these two. I'm not surprised they ended up with each other to tell you the least. Louie the playful, cute guy that he is (I didn't get paid to say that!); geeky looking yet smart is very easy to talk and be with. April who never fails to smile and kid around with everyone (even at the lowest times) always lights up the room when she's around. These are traits that made them stick together and I'm sure it'll last. They have been doing a lot of photos lately in preparation for their save the date postcard and I know there will be lots of them available on the Internet. It would be easier to make once all the details are finalized. They however already have the dates set for next year. We're all excited for them!

Love is such a pretty sight to see. It makes me wish I had a story of my own to tell. I won't be blaming anyone for my own fate this time. I'm really glad to have got to know these two. They kind of give you hope and that nostalgia you experience when someone loves you. It makes you optimistic; to see life in a different way. I wish Louie and April the best that life can offer. After all, they deserve each other. I'm so happy for them... and so are my peers from photography. You'll be really good parents too I'm sure!

Wish you all the best! Nothing more!

Guess what?!

I haven't slept yet obviously because I went to Cubao this morning. I got myself tickets so I'll be going out of the country again. Away from the busy bustling sound of Manila and into the abyss. I won't divulge information yet but I'll show you photos after the trip. Maybe just maybe it would be easy to pay for all of these soon. I'm still afloat but I'll think about what to do after the trip, I won't sourgrape anymore about the costs and leave it at that.

I'm not upset. It's just that I have been thinking a lot lately about taking a break or a breather. I'll probably regret doing it later but I hope I don't. Geeze is this really this big of a deal?!

I'll go on a diet so I can still fit my clothes till then. I know I can do it. I did it before so this shouldn't be a problem right?! I'm so worried about something so small.

Now that's out. I'm probably going to watch the facebook timeline so I could get some sleep. I get bored with it after a few minutes so I'm using it to my advantage hehhe. I hope this all turn out well, please pray for me hahahah! I'm not dying! =P

I need to go to the John. See yah!

The Perfect Body

I have skin problems too. Some people might look at me and say it looks flawless but I do struggle just like any normal person would do. In my side of the world we're quite fortunate that a tan is but like a regular thing. We don't have to spend that much time under the sun just to get some or even go to salons and spray it on. If I lose a lot of weight I'll be worrying about it too because there will be a tendency for the over stretched ones to sag quite a bit which will make it unappealing for anyone to look at. I vouch for any procedure that will make me look good and if it means that I have to go to Hawaii Plastic Surgery and get it done, I'd be glad to do so!

I need to be confident and look my best every time I go out. If there would be some procedures to be done to make me a little perfect then by all means I'll go ahead. It maybe a little too forward for some of us but I have researched quite a bit and it looks like the ones I need are relatively safe. I'm sure with qualified and great educated doctors it will be easy to do all this. Would you do the same perhaps?! If you want to have something changed in your body, what would it be?! Why?! Let me know and let's talk about it!

It looks like the batteries on my radio just ran out. I'm listening to static. I think that would cost me another 150 bucks but I think it is well worth it. Even if it is just Eveready it did its job. It's not those alkaline thingy's but I think it lasted longer than that. Great job batteries, I'm going to throw you away now... *insert army shots*... heheh

I'm snacking on Sunflower crackers since yesterday. It seems burnt. Whoever fried this thing must have left it and ate a couple too. It tasted good and addicting. But hell it made me so thirsty.

Air conditioning still is not working here. But its getting better. I just don't have the comfortable coldness I used to enjoy here. I hate electric fans but its better than nothing. The fan will get us dried in a couple of hours I'm sure.

Private doctors wanted DOH to declare a state of calamity. Lot's of kids and people died of Dengue Fever. A lot of them need blood transfusion. I'm high blood, if they get mine I wouldn't run out of it right?! LOL

President Noy wanted to eat at Jollibee in Queens New York but they begged off because they can't reserve the place just for him. I think this is the same gimmick with Obama, is he gunning for the same effect??? He should fall in line like everybody else! =)

I heard that there were some kids who died in a fire in Paranaque. Police found out later that their stepmom was the culprit. They were burned because she got jealous and wanted the father to be hers alone. Now she's in prison. Tough luck!

Today marks the anniversary of typhoon Ondoy which killed hundreds of people and destroyed pretty much half of the city. It's not worth remembering but people have been greeting weirdly through text. I received one this morning indicating " Happy Ondoy Anniversary!"... We're a weird bunch of people! Hehehe

Funds for a Trip!

I need money now. I just don't know where to get it. Pay day is actually 5 days away and it might be too late for me to get plane tickets since I plan to go on a tour next month. Mom and Dad need a little rest and recreation so I'm actually trying my best to get them to travel with me. I don't have that much funds right now since everything is in the bank for time deposits and stuff. I couldn't take them out (the money) anytime I want to because I signed up for that. I plan to get everything organized before this pushes through. I think it would be quite better if I get a cash advance loan first and then pay it off a couple of days after so I can get the ball rolling. Mom and Dad are excited and if I don't prepare heavily on this one I'm surely going to have a mishap. That would be unlikely to happen if I get the money I need which probably would be approved right?! That's just awesome because I really feel everything is falling into place for me!

It's been 6 years that I haven't been out of the country and I seriously need a break. If it were not for my folks needing it too I wouldn't have considered it. I need to get out more and see the world for myself. I need to stay a few kilometers away from my keyboard and check out what I can do aside from pressing them. I'll try to squeeze in some moments for my photography hobby. I would like to see other cities at night and capture them on still images. I could do this with the right amount of funds. I'm sure that loan is going to come sooner than I think it would!
