Giving Gifts? Make it a MemoirMag!

When you've got really good friends from high places and you can't think about what to give them when it's their birthday/just have a special occasion, you might want to consider this cool thing from my friends over at Memoirmag. I was surprised to receive this a couple of days ago in the mail and they've got a pretty great idea of putting memories into this form. Something that you can see everyday, something that is very PERSONAL. Things like these are indeed priceless. I wouldn't trade it for the world!

I remember meeting Roanne for the first time in a bloggers trip to Guimaras a few years back. Since then, I felt so comfortable with her and her brother. Her demeanor in life is so amazing and even if she's a successful professional in Macau, she stays grounded and humble. She's one of the most beautiful faces I've seen too so it's just right that we become first class friends. She then gave me these awesome trinkets from Memoirmag.

MEMOIRMAG is basically a product and a service. They turn your "precious moments" into magnets. If you are like me who spends countless hours of their day appreciating their good looking selfies online, this is perfect for you. Or if you have those special moments on Instagram that you want immortalized on magnet form then this is the way to do it. In their case, they chose the awesome photos from my @kumagcow Instagram account and got that printed like this!

They prolly use really good photo paper because it's shiny. Plus I think they have taste just by looking at the photos they chose in this bit. It's been years since I've found that photographer photo on the bottom right when I was in the documentary for street photography in Atom Araullo's show KALYE. That show isn't even here anymore, but now I can see the memories EVERYDAY.

Grumpy? No. I love this particular shot done my Ron Torres during the wedding of my friends Louie and April Niduaza which I think happened 2 years ago. I don't usually have portraits but this was perfect LOL. See what I mean about memories?

This one was part of the series I did for Converse. I love my jacket from Marks and Spencer with the bags and shoes from Converse! Woot! You can pick your Outfit of the day and put it into magnets like these. Wouldn't that be awesome?

Now my photos would take the spotlight in our home refrigerator so that every time someone opens the door, they will see me first haha! Aside from that, I can probably put this on my home office table and put the memos on it. It's pretty darn useful and it's gonna look so good if you put it anywhere in your home... now why don't you get one for your friends/family?! How? That's easy!

First Day Funk!

It's June once again and everybody in this side of the world is preparing for their first day of school year 2009 - 2010. In anticipation of the huge traffic and markets picking up this season, I travel a lot earlier now so I would not be late for work. I am also trying to find the perfect bag for my NIKON D60 which I bought for my self this month. It may be expensive but that ended my frustrations in photography so it is well worth it.

Aside from that, I was sponsoring a child in a local charity. I did that so there would be something good to do this year. Good thing I have friends who share the same passion that I do so it was not that hard. We bought some school supplies, personalized kids backpacks and a couple of toys to go with it. At least they will have a better time studying while playing on the side right?! I wonder why I never get to do that when I was a kid... ha-ha!

At home, we are going to have a hard time this week because the person who we pay for weekly to wash clothes is out of town. She is not going back until next week, so I'm sure our laundry bag is going to be filled. I have been looking for alternatives but you know how expensive laundry services are in Manila. If you do not do it by bulk it would even be more expensive.

I've got a friend who also gave birth to a bouncing baby boy this evening. I'm so glad I get to be part of the whole process, not the making the baby part obviously but more on taking care of the Mom. You see, she's not that safe in doing these pregnancies and this one in particular is included. I hope she does not read this entry because she will know about the baby memory book I got her this time. The kid is so cute; no picture is going to be wasted!

I have so many plans in so little time; I hope everything turns our right. Let's do the first day funk!

What's your gift for me?

You have 26 days to go before you get me these gifts or else!

What's your gift for me? Is it too much to ask this Christmas season what I should get?! It's funny I know but there are a couple of things I would want to get for that most wonderful time of the year!

I’m a geek and my lifestyle demands I have enough things to support my luxuries in life. I don’t even want to think about that day where I won’t have any access whatsoever with my gadgets and electronic devices. That would just be unbearable and such a nightmare to think about.

An online store I dropped by offered 20% discount on the best things you could buy for me. I have lots of paperwork and I lost 4 years of email at work. I just would not want that to happen again so I implore you to get me storage. Yes my friends, I don’t ask too much so if you plan to buy me something I could use it would be just that. I need personalized holiday gifts and this is the only one I prefer.

Personalized Thumb Drives – I need this handy storage so I can easily plug and play with any computer I have do carry my documents in. The site offers it in 14 colors, 16GB of capacity and custom engraving (which you normally just see in expensive pen brands) all for free.

Personalized Pens – With the same engraving for free, you can get me this one for less than 2 dollars would you believe that?!

Business Card Flash Drives – It’s a unique gift. I remember eating out with my folks and I saw my former boss from SSS. He asked me for a business card after the little chat we had and guess what?! I didn’t have one. I was humiliated and kept thinking about it for months while laughing myself in misery because I did not have something so simple that executives should always carry around. Oh I’m still thinking about that! I’d probably go to my former office and give them this one so I’d look mighty cool.

Wooden USB Flash Drives – Well it’s a statement of course! You can’t find that much nature loving geeks around so if you are the type you can give me this one instead. It’s less than 16 dollars off the site if you want to get me one.

I know I am a little bit demanding but hey it’s Christmas anyway so why should I hold back asking you for what I want right?! Thanks in advance! I’m going to wait for those in the mail so don’t leave me out in the snow. Get me these great holiday gifts!
