 2007 May 27 La Mesa Ecopark, Quezon City, Metro Manila

Went with some officemates to the La Mesa Ecopark in Quezon City. It’s supposed to be a photo shoot but either cameras are unavailable or the photographers aren’t so it became more of a picnic with a bit of photo shooting thrown in.
La Mesa Ecopark is a project of ABS-CBN’s Bantay Kalikasan, an environment advocacy [...]



 The Ugly Duckling

There’s this duckling
Who thought she’s ugly
She won’t turn into a beautiful swan
That only happens in fairy tales
And maybe reality shows
But she doesn’t have to
For within and without
Though she doesn’t see
She’s already beautiful



 Basic Photography Workshop

I finally completed a 5-day basic photography workshop conducted by Jo Avila. The workshop covers the basics of theories, principles, composition, studio lighting, PhotoShop, color management, and guerilla shooting. The workshop was good. Definitely recommended for beginners. Some of the things I already knew but still I learned quite a lot.
Of course nothing really [...]



 ISO 9001:2000 Certification

Today, was the certification audit of the company. I had spent the weekend preparing myself for it: studying the standard, documented policies, and procedures. Yet when the day started it was still nerve-wracking. There’s always that lingering thought that you forgot something. There’s the fear that something, somewhere is going to give. I was tense [...]



 Starcraft II Announced

Hell, it’s about time! Starcraft II has been announced! Jessie sent me a link to Starcraft II. I’ve seen the link before and back then it was just a redirect to the Blizzard website. So I thought it still the same. But NO! Instead there’s now a full website for the next installment of Starcraft. [...]



 By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept

Last sunday, I read By The River Piedra I Sat Down And Wept. After reading it, I had this feeling that words can’t quite convey how beautiful the story is. I don’t know if it was just me, or the sun, or the weather but I really found it to be beautiful story. I’m really [...]



 Friday I’m In Love

by The Cure
I don’t care if Monday’s blue
Tuesday’s grey and Wednesday too
Thursday I don’t care about you
It’s Friday, I’m in love
Monday you can fall apart
Tuesday, Wednesday break my heart
Oh, Thursday doesn’t even start
It’s Friday I’m in love
Saturday, wait
And Sunday always comes too late
But Friday, never hesitate…
I don’t care if Mondays black
Tuesday, Wednesday – heart attack
Thursday, [...]



 Lazy Afternoon

It’s my brother James’ birthday today. To celebrate, we hung out with our friend Drawde at his pad. Another friend Jem dropped by later. We did nothing but ate, napped, watch TV, and Xboxed the whole afternoon. It sure was fun and relaxing being with friends and not having a care in the world.
It’s also [...]
