I am not that of a dog lover. I'm actually afraid of them. But if I am really to take care of one, that would be the Siberian Husky. It's a cool dog, but reall costs much when it comes to taking care of it. :(
Photoblog. I love how the white cloth+tripod+Sony H7 set-up plus under natural light was able to make a "semi-studio" effect. Hey, I'm not a professional yet, but would love to learn more on this.
Plus with minor tweakings at Photoshop, voila! :D
Reminds me of John Legend's video "Ordinary People"
My sister has this new puppy. They can't really decide on what's the name so what I did, I gave the number. It's Akamaru, taken from the name of a dog from Naruto, an anime.
Here's the link to the blog post I made at Wordpress:
I think I will be doing more of these kind of blogposts, which is featuring other children of the arts. I will be featuring artists here and abroad, but more of the local artists. :D
Robin Hood's story reminds me of what we have right now in the Philippines. His story was simple enough to understand: he robs the rich and gives it to the poor.
But if we are to delve deeper into other details included in the story, it was the time of extreme poverty over the land. The people with power like the Sheriff of Nottingham usurps power and money from the poor.
Hmmm... Really reminiscent of what we have here. How I wish Robin Hood was here, well, not really to rob the rich, but to at least defend the poor.

I was reading through some of my old comic books (yes, I do have a little collection of Marvel and DC comics) and this one issue of Superman struck me.
It was when Lois Lane was telling Superman why doesn't he help humanity by using his x-ray vision to hunt corrupt officials. Lois' point is that if he has these powers, why not utilize them also in spying and correcting society's flaw.
What did he reply?
It was not in verbatim but his point was that humanity has its own problems, and it doesn't need superpowers to resolve. If one has the heart, then it can be done.
Flambé (also spelled flambe; pronounced /flɒmˈbeɪ/) is a cooking procedure in which alcohol (ethanol) is added to a hot pan to create a burst of flames. The word means flamed in French (thus, in French, flambé is a past participle; the verb is flamber).
At yan ang ginawa ni Jacque sa Dusit. Akshuli may maliit siyang nagawa, yung tipong tama lang. Pero siyempre, hindi kontrobersyal yun.
Maski yung chef sa gilid ni Jacq oh, napapaisip na kung anu ano. Patakbo na ata. XD
Hehe. Ayus ba? Sabi na't makapangyarihan si Jacque eh. :D
"I'd rather die like a man, than live like a coward." -Tupac Amaru Shakur in Only God can judge me
I maybe weird at times but nobody can judge me. Only God can. I have been misjudged so many times now. Yeah, it's okay for me at times, but there comes a time when I reach my boiling point.
Is it because I act like this, then I am this and that? I will not change for others, for this is my life. Tupac is right, I'd rather die like a man than live like a coward, which is I think, a person that lives for another person. I will never be dictated by norms that some people set.
Just got after the first two weeks of training in TeleTech Bacoor. Yes, I came back to the BPO industry. Well, yes, I had some time of thinking about this. I really wanted to be in the field of media but it seems that fate (or something else) tells me that I will not be in the position that I want for now.
The BPO business is a sunshine spot here in the Philippines. Some people still belittle it despite of what it has already contributed to the country. And TeleTech Bacoor is a very young site, with it just starting last year, and I think if I want success I should focus on the big picture that this position gives me.
With the Bacoor site still very young, what does it tell me?
Well actually, this was an insight from our trainer, Sir Ed Crisostomo. If I want to have a career in this business, I should focus and utilize all the available resources. If there should be any promotion opportunities, then grab it.
**********
For us, every traning day ends with a fun activity. Sir Ed said that he facilitates activities before we go home because we might dream about the systems we use. Haha.
One activity that we had was to give out a message to someone in the room and if you want, request something, a deed, from that person.
It's reaaly a good feeling when some people appreciate you. More special when those people who wrote you these messages are some people that you haven't had any "real talk" with. Thanks to those people. :D
I know it's too late for the "Mother's Day" date as indicated by society. But I think everyday should be a Mother's Day, as a sign of a never-ending gratitude that she gave birth to us. We are the extension of our mother's life.
Thank you Inang Reyna. ^_^

I TAG: Random people ule ako. Please, kung sino man ang makita ko... Gawin nio din :D
Sila-->Ailette, Aiza, Ahlia, Chantal Denise, Aia
RULES : A. People who have been tagged must write their answers on their blogs and replace any question they dislike with a new question formulated by themselves. Tag 10 people. Those who are tagged cannot refuse.
B. These 10 people must state who they were tagged by. You cannot tag the person who tagged you. Continue this game by sending this to 8 other people.
1. If your lover betrayed you, what will your reaction be? First feeling... betrayed (wow, no brainer). second feeling... loneliness, and curious as to why... third feeling... anger (again, the "why") and fourth... acceptance. I will not find a replacement immediately. I do not find. I let fate do its magic. That's how I found Jacque :D
2. What will you do if you do not share the same feelings as the person who likes you? I was in that situation before. At first I though I shared the same feeling, but then I woke up immediately and saw that I wasn't really in love too. And until now, she's angry with me for making her feel "extra special" when she's not pala. =( 3. What's your take on same-sex marriages? "Question is, does marriage mean anything?" Good point by Artwist. For some yes, like for me. But with my other side thinking too, it is teeling me that with the rapid change of lifestyle, nowadays it appears to be some fad. But for an old-fashioned guy like me, it still has its effects on me. I'm just also trying to look on another plane. And going back on the real question, for me, from the words of Robin Williams in his movie where he ran for president, not in verbatim though, that they also have the right to feel imprisoned or something like that. XD
4. Are you confused as to what lies ahead of you? Yes. There are so many people trying to tell you this and that. Sa dami nun hindi mo na alam minsan kung ano ang tama. You have two ears but there are so many mouths saying something. Sometimes because of that, you can't hear yourself.
5. What's your ideal lover like? Try to learn more about Jacque. Next question puhlease. 6. Which is more blessed, loving someone or being loved by someone else? Being loved by someone else! Yes nemen ^_^ 7. If the person you like does not accept you, would you continue to wait for them to change their feelings? I was also in this situation before. Yes, if I like that person, I'd be stuck to her. But if I see there's really no point of continuing, then I'll sulk at first then just like a butterfly (wow, sushal), I become better.
8. If the person you secretly like is already attached, what would you do? I was also like this (and uh, andami ko na palang naexperience). Actually, I didn;t know she was still attached. It was hard but I survived (wow @_@)
9. Is there anything that has made you unhappy recently? Not getting the career that I want. I am now in a contact center. Not the best move, but it is a smart move considering my family.
10. What do you want most in life? Hmmm... Be a known photog/writer/grfx designer/comedian. Sushal nemen the pangarap and mix ng hilig. XD 11. Is being tagged fun? Sometimes... XD
12. If you found out that your best friend is going out with your boyfriend/girlfriend, how would you react? I'd be losing a bestfriend right now of that is the case. XD
13. Who is currently the most important person to you? Not counting Inang Reyna and the whole fam, Jacque would be that person. :D
14. What kind of person do you think the person who tagged you is? Artwist? She is one cool, cool gyal! Good in design. I haven't met her in person though.
15. Would you rather be single and rich or married and poor? That's hard. But I'm going with married and poor but with art within me. :D 16. If the person you secretly like cannot recognize you, what would you do/how would you react? Edi magpapansin pa lalo.XD
17. Why do we love? LOve is... *please pakicontinue nalang* 18. If you fall in love with two persons simultaneously, who would you pick? Walang definition sino sila. Hirap naman. Pero here... I'm sure I really love only one and the other one I'm just really, really attracted for some reasons (er... uh.. *thinks*). I'd ask my heart... pag sumagot...
MATATAKOT AKO! Nagsasalitang heart? @_@
XD 19. What type of friends do you like? Basta hindi nagddrugs, at walang felony sa government.XD 20. If you played a prank on someone, and he/she fell for the trick, what would you do? -Sabihin ko "Taya!"
- each blogger starts with ten random facts/habits about themselves - bloggers tagged need to write on their on blog about their ten things and post the rules. - at the end of your blog you need to choose 10 people you`re going to tag and list their names. - dont forget to comment on their site that they`re tagged.
1. I dance like hell when no one's watching. Yeah. I do. :) That's one of my frustrations that I am going to realize when I have the munny. Hmmm, I'll try dancing lessons. XD
2. I have this habit of biting my right thumb in certain occassions. No originality though, I got that from L in Deathnote. Haha :D
3. I get glued at the chair when I surf the net. It's like some hypnotism sh*t, mehn!
4. Even though it seems that I am a very cheerful person (or funny daw, it's not I'm funny, it's just I know what's funny), I am a very serious person. I am not easily pleased too. Mahirap akong patawanin as in. There are few people that could make me laugh real hard like Jacque (because of her "jokes", Keo Saulog, Francis Capua..)
5. They say I'm weird when I get mad. Why? I speak straight english. Am I mad whilst doing this? XD
6. I want to be a good photographer someday. I will try to pursue post graduate studies when I get enough money. Save save save.
7. I would want to play Resident Evil 1, the one in the mansion (which I think is the scariest among the franchise titles) or Silent Hill in 3D. XD
8. I want to learn so may things in my life. Gaaah. And one of them is Web Designing. Tsk. Inggitero kasi sa layouts (XD).
9. Because this is a "random" blog, okay. I'm actually watching Madonna Decena sing right now. She's good. Kudos. :D
10. Hmmm... I had a hard time completing this ten random posts. Errr. make that 9. This last one is a give-away. Haha. :D
*** At dahil random nga. Eto, sila ang mga taong una kong nakita sa aking "Inbox" dito sa Multiply:
Wala lang. Gusto ko lang ulet magplug. May mga pinopost din kasi ako dun na mga blogs na wala dito. Minsan kasi mas feel kong magpost dun. Tinamad naman akong mga cross post, kaya punta nalang din kayo dun. Wala namang pamasahe eh. XD
These are the times that one would like to commit suicide because of the influx of calamities, that is if your heart is weak.
And the bad thing is you can see some people (errr, try to watch the news, there are so many of them) making our lives worse. Marcos was bad, but hey, he was able to do good stuff at the start. But this other one... errr... no comment.
But why commit suicide...when you can actually kill them? Haha.
If only mine was working *evil laugh* Tsk...
And oh, the wallpaper at the original series has "L" on it, but since I am not him, I used "D" haha :D
Ahhhh... Summer is indeed here. Notice the hot weather and the sweaty armpits (oh, that's just on my case).
Anyway, this photo was taken when we were at Kamay ni Hesus Shrine in Lucban, Quezon. I was just amazed at the swish effect of the hair. reminds me of summer. Ah, summer. :D

Hired!
Hired!, the QTV show about jobhunters is needing a photographer for a high-caliber studio here in the Philippines. I sent my credentials to the email that I got from my friend who works at QTV. Actually, I just sent it just because of you know, stroke of luck. Who knows what might happen right?
So I got the invitation, and I suddenly got the urge to compete. I was in MOA that time when Jacque texted me I got a mail from them. I'm at MOA because I am trying out for a photography studio for a photographer slot. Even though I want to be in this company in MOA, I still wanted to try my luck at that contest. One of the requirements is the 3 8x10 best photos. I didn't have those ready but my plan was to print them after my shift. I told myself good thing that this one computer shop in Nueno Ave (in Imus), is open 24 hours.
So when I got home, I edited 3 pics that I consider good, went straight to that computer shop. But at the computer shop, the printer was busted. For a computer shop that got its name grounded on printing, and they cannot serve their customers with printing services? Dang it!
I really got upset. I feel all hope was lost. I know I am not that good of a photographer yet, but I just wanted to see how do I compare to others. I am not that technical with photography and I didn't have any formal education on it, but I know I can take good ones.
I didn't really expect to win, but I just wanted the experience. Tsk. But who knows, I do believe in beginner's luck.
"I'm upset. But I don't want to question God why. I don't question Him when I'm happy, so why should I question Him when I'm sad?"
Posers. They are one of the scums of this earth we live in.
I cannot take that somebody is actually using my name and my pics in Friendster. Before, I posted someone using my pic. Just one. But now, this guy or maybe gal is using my name and some pictures.
Dang! I cannot believe this is happening to me. I would not be surprised if Abbie Almasco would be faked. I mean, she is beautiful, pretty, smart and famous because of what she is doing. But me? 0_o
Given the chance, I would strangle this mother*--* up!
