I'm going to have an event this evening courtesy of my Dad and it looks like this is going to be big. I like how everything falls into place. I was worried I didn't have anything to do this weekend but God has been good. I hope this continues.

Garcia has been out of jail, richer by 150 million and backed up supposedly by Angelo Reyes. Now that it's out, will there be consequences for the general? I wonder if they will all end up in jail just like those who made the same offense but poor. Money still is the root of all evil but thinking about it, it looks like you can get away with anything as long as you have it in this part of the world. How sad... I thought things would change once President Noynoy comes into power. Apparently nothing has changed.

My photographer friends just invited me for a night shoot later. I'm excited for that. Even though I haven't been shooting still ones for a long time I'm sure I can handle it. Maybe we'll plan something big next month. It will definitely work I'm sure but we got to do this together.

I ate with officemates at Pasig, a humongous burger with Angus Beef. It was so awesome I'm gonna go back to Charlies!

Off I go to the event! Wish me luck and lots of moolah will come my way! =)

Seeing the Light

Electricity rates have gone up again and to tell you honestly I don't know why our country has one of the most expensive kilo watts per hour price in the world. Maybe we might be running out of our natural resources but I think it is ample enough to survive a few years. I am worried about the future of our family though and the children after us because people have been so lax in taking care of nature. If we do not start now by doing simple things like achat ampoule that are economical and energy efficient we might need to start and think about how we live in this world.

The technical advances in lighting technology should already solve part of the problems we face today. I've seen LED and fluorescent bulbs spend so little energy while still mimicking natural light so if we swap whatever we have at home a couple of hundred kilo watt hours would be saved. It could be any electrical appliance and we just need to make smarter choices this time. It starts with an ampoule but you can use a lot of energy saving devices like those large items at your own home. Going green has never been easy but if you integrate it to your lifestyle it would be a lot better in the long run. We'll live longer and have our family enjoy a lot of the things that we still have now. Remember, it starts with ampoule led but you can save a whole civilization if you start today. Great things come from small beginnings right?!

It's 1-11-2011 and people have been so superstitious about it. There's no harm in doing that but as they say in SYZYGY let's go back to Julius and Tintin. If it was really lucky in the first place we wouldn't have rebels returning to public office and too much motorcycles on the road. Mom and Dad were about to go home last night when they saw a guy fly off his bike and landed on the pavement literally bashed his head while stuff came out of it (ye know what I mean?!) which really made my Mom lose sleep that night. Arggghh... if I see some parents putting their kids in those bikes I cringe at the sight of seeing them not wear helmets too. What in the world were they thinking?!

My tooth hurts like hell. Some fills went out I guess while I was flossing. Nerve endings make the pain start from the tooth to my head. What a day... I still have work and had to beg my dentist for an appointment. Stressful because I had to call him midnight. He just suggested I take the same medicine I was taking for the pain. Today I'll have to go to his clinic and see what happened to me. I don't know what happened really but its so painful I'm already crying. Ergo, I have to carry around a water bottle because the cold thing comforts me.

Ouch...


I can't even think what to type now... ouch...

Hosting Solutions for Us!

I just formed a new forum for my friends from college and we need this for our activities this coming UAAP season. It has been a while since our former one dissipated because of the hosting problems we had. I know it would be hard to start over but we don't really have a choice. I'm looking for a better one and it looks like inmotion hosting would be perfect. Judging from the rating it currently has from other users it looks quite promising. I want to have uninterrupted connection because the "Red Tribe" as we are commonly called need updates every day. I did put in a chat box too so we can talk in real time. I'm quite worried about the bandwidth requirement because our previous host and the site usually crash when there are a lot of users on line. This is an easy job for institutions like INMOTION as the feedback is astounding!

We have plans to get the domain as well so if the time comes I know where to host it. I would probably go for the dot ORG so it would be appropriately named. I'll ask them who's going to pay for it annually too when the time comes. For now, I'm going to concentrate on how to make the site and portal a little cleaner so when Alumni, Students and Fans of the University of the East Red Warriors would come they'd never hesitate joining this community! I have a hunch that this will be big but for now I'm contented that some of my closest friends are here. Once the games start we will be there to support our Alma Mater weather we win or lose! I'll be a warrior until the end!

This day is neat! I've been listening to DZMM these past few days and my mornings have never been better. You must be askin (or not!) why in the world am I awake at this hour?! Well I've been adjusting my shift a little because of work and coming from the graveyard shift, it ain't easy! My body clock is not cooperating. I need to be slightly optimistic that I can do this otherwise that part where I wake up at 2am wouldn't be healthy. I almost went to the office that early because I couldn't sleep but I decided to lounge around our home and get a little workout in between so when I get tired that'll probably get me dizzy and make me fall asleep. The adrenaline rush is a different story.

Got a headache now that I'm in the office. I didn't eat breakfast. I forgot. Nobody even noticed that I didn't eat. Now I'm taking the bitter pill... of regretting going to the office too early ha-ha! See? Even my brand of humor is affected. I'm not funny anymore.... I wasn't funny in the first place!

For you dreamers out there, here's a video that I was tagged on this morning. I don't know why but I don't like it. Somehow the age is showing in the song choices. I hate it apparently.



See what I mean? Now back to regular programming.

Smart Business Solutions

This has been a real busy day. I just got back from the office and I forgot to do a lot of things. Although we are in the same area, we are located in different buildings so the time to really think about what I had to do (urgent stuff) was a little tight. I forgot to give the papers for the company checks I got last week. The accounting department would really bug me tomorrow about not submitting the receipts on time since we already spent that budget for our quarterly team building activity. It's not much but it does go a long way if we add up what we also can contribute. It goes to small parties, souvenirs and some other things we can buy for our office. I am a little worried they would deduct some amount on my paycheck next week because I didn't send everything for signature and processing. Are these signs of aging?! LOL!

Campaigns like these need some reminders through electronic mail. I have to see if it would be feasible to get the department involved to initiate contact if the time to do these things is up! Maybe if we organize and get tools for a systematic approach in office processes; this world (and office!) would be a happier place! We already have one for procurement so maybe this wouldn't be too far behind. I can easily ask for office supplies anytime so I never run out of Tape, Paper Clips and Fasteners whenever I need them. It's time to get fully automated and this is inevitable! I need smart business solutions!

On a Drizzly Sunday Afternoon...

It's been a long time since I posted something meaningful on my site so here goes a lame attempt LOL! I've been nostalgic to say the least so I'm trying to remember the things I've been listening to in the past. It's raining outside and I'm staring at the water droplets on my window. This was the song that popped into my mind while I felt the wind coming from the fan... yeah it is a little hot here in the office but I'm managing just fine. Listen and try to understand the song, this one is great! =)



The next one is my favorite Janet Jackson song. Because she's coming over on February for her tour, this is just timely! You kinda hope someone still remembers the last thing you did together... LOL I think I'm saying too much... and you know that feeling of being optimistic that you will end up loving someone again?! Yeah, this generally says you won't but hey you kinda fall inlove with Janet when she says things like "I wanna be inlove with you again"... it's something you want to say to a former love... I think I did this a couple of times admittedly. I want a different one now though... dated someone last night so this is kinda nice to listen to. Come on click it!




After that, return to your refuge and get some sleep. I on the other hand am going to get busy this weekend. Lots of events to cover in so little time!

"I've been X'd!"

It's been quite a while since I posted some of my photos on this site. I haven't been able to update in ages too so I'm doing this now, it's time to show you some of the things that kept be busy last year. This hasn't been shown yet in Facebook... well I guess it hasn't been shown; but if I did I might have shown it only to a few people. So you are lucky I'm doing this now.

For those who don't know yet I'm a Fashion Photographer and part of the milestone that happened last year was the chance to be on my idol's workshop. Some only dream of this but I had the chance to be taught by my sensei Xander Angeles. He's the guy that puts those babes in front of those glossy magazines like FHM, MEGA, etc. I love his work and what great news that I also got to be with his apprentice at that time Niko Villegas. Both masters at this craft I was sure to learn a thing or two about the genre that I was passionate about.

Here are some of my shots! Enjoy!

This set is called "I've been X'd!" to pay homage to the one who was teaching me how to do these shots last August. Xander Angeles was really on a class of his own. Thank you so much for everything Jedi Master heheh this budding fashion photographer really learned a lot and I want to thank you for everything!

Neat Scrubs!

This year has been a blast! I love how it started and ended. I was blessed with so many friends and got to go out of the country with my folks too. I also got to see relatives that I haven't met for a long time! My cousins are all in the medical field. Most of them are nurses, physical therapists and medical technologists. I on the other hand ventured into a different one since I am a Computer Engineer by profession. I still see them wear nursing scrubs every now and then. I am not surprised because they need this for work. It's one of the most comfortable things to wear I'm sure and mind you they come in different designs and colors. Fashion wise, they are not that far behind. I haven't caught them wearing anything bland last year and this year it wouldn't be the same.



I wore something similar a few years ago because they gave me one. I used it in lieu of my pajamas and it was really neat that I could sleep with it. Imagine they were all using it as uniforms and I was feeling so comfortable I got to use it for sleep! I want to bring back the favor though so before they all become so busy during the New Year's Eve... they can wear something new. The scrub clothing would really look great on them. I didn't have time to buy them anything for Christmas presents so this would do. They are expecting a lot of people to flock the hospitals this New Year because of the culture of fireworks in this side of the world. No matter how dangerous it may seem they all still do it. I hope there would be less of them this year so my cousins wouldn't be too tired when they go back on the 1st for lunch.

Happy New Year everyone!

Recovering... Getting there!

Sorry guys I haven't actually posted much of my activities this Christmas Season because I was down with the flu the whole week. It was very hard for me to even look at the monitor or stand up or even eat because everything felt miserable. I felt really bad that I couldn't even get to celebrate with my family but I think I am recovering. I'm still sick but I'm getting there and hopefully after a week or so I'd be able to go back on my feet and write the hell out of this joint ha-ha!

I was planning to watch a movie later but I'm weighing my options since I don't want to go out sick and just chill inside the movie theaters. I better check myself if I can do it otherwise I should just stay at home and get some well needed rest. I also plan to go somewhere this year and it'll cost me an arm and a leg. I'll try it though... no harm in trying so they say.

I want to go to my friend's house so I can give gifts to my god daughters/godsons. A late gift is still a gift after all. I don't want to be the bad "ninong" when the time comes and they would only curse me after a few years LOL. Anyway, I'm back and that's great news to start the new year right?!

Thanks for staying guys, I owe you a lot! You know who you are! =)
