Better Applications and Social Networking

Tuesday, June 02, 2009

With all the networking sites available in the World Wide Web, you stand and wonder how people understand how it works and how easy it is. Most of the time you get lost in translation because everything sounds so complicated even if you are already a novice when it comes to computers. The technical jargon would probably be the first to metaphorically cause a nose bleed but you find the need to get along since everybody else is doing it.

I know this one site for example, with even the hundreds of applications it has on its face people seem to still get a hang of it. The site according to a reliable source has a greater percentage of their users in the 50 year old above range. This makes folks in homes and centers easily adapt and connect with loved ones. Imagine what I have been doing playing Poker with my generation's Grandparents which look really ironic. I wonder how their kids would think about me if they knew I was taking away their chips ha-ha!

If there was something good about it, it was the inter action between me, my friends and a lot of other users. I guess that makes social networking a great tool for anybody. There are also other ones that use online communities to get people of the same interest together. No matter how weird it is or how lame it would sound to people at my age, it is quite huge to even look at them happy with their peers. That is one thing that money could never buy and they could treasure most. It makes them more confident to Engage Members to feel the spirit of belonging in one place. Would you like to try Wild Apricots? I find the site better and personally easy to manage. If you plan to get one, then this is the place to go.

Bon Voyage Arpee!

Monday, June 01, 2009


Arpee is a colleague of mine and we are literally a few seats apart in the same project, same department. He's going to the US this June to visit his family and spend quality time with his siblings since he's based here in the Philippines. It would be a little rough since we are all going to spend more time in the office and fill the gap in his absence, not to mention our boss is going to be in town in a few weeks too but I think everything would be alright as long as nobody would get sick. We are going to be a little bit crippled if that happened but its okay, we hope he enjoys his stay there... pasalubong ha! Heheh...

Well now he knows my shoe size and the new camera I got, he probably knows what brand I prefer and what lens would fit on it heheh. Just jokin pero syempre pag sineryoso nya pwede na rin hahaha!

He's a great artist, percussionist, drummer, photographer, traveller but he's small so God really has some way to compensate things hahahah. He's talented but more of a late bloomer when it comes to love (tama ba bheng?! ^^ ). He's got a huge guitar collection and its not those simple ones you often see at stores because some of them even come from the US or other parts of the world. I think he's just lucky to have em... but in all these things he's a cool person. We all wish him a safe trip and look forward to have him back in the team in a couple of weeks time. I hope he spends his vacation well in the US, because some of us never had the luxury to do that. Hehehe most probably I was referring to myself hahah!

Good luck Arpee and Bon Voyage! Yan ha na blog pa kita hehe!

You Are All I Need!

Friday, May 29, 2009


We also have a house in TAGAYTAY City that we have to furnish. With the current financial crisis hitting us and everybody else in the world, I would not be surprised if we would have a hard time doing it. My brother is filthy rich and he would probably get the property filled up by the end of the year. Modesty aside my folks and I should probably also step up and get the major pieces we need for the vacation house we dreamed of. I am mostly an Oak - woodsy type of person and that is one thing I am looking for in design. I got catalogues from the best ones in the industry and some of them are not as par. Here I go relying again on the Internet to get what I want, so I clicked a couple of sites and found one exactly for the DINING ROOM FURNITURE I need.



I will probably get the one that is in the price range of about $1500 to $2000. Maybe if we are to get shipment costs lower, this would really be feasible. Then after that, my brother could probably pick up some other architectural pieces that would compliment what we have planned for the home. It is colder there, but it would be nice to get acquainted with that kind of weather when summer comes. That is just a great idea!

First Photo Shoot : Philippine Fashion Week, Band Portfolio


It's one heck of a hectic week for me because I think I have gone too far in scheduling activities. As my first photography lessons arrive, I will be participating in the Philippine Fashion Week this weekend and I hope it would not be as bad as I thought it would be. I have practiced quite a little at home and in the office to get more shots perfected as I embark in this new hobby. I hope I fare quite well in this album I'm planning to get. On Friday, this is going to be the lineup of activities:

May 29, 2009 Friday
5:30PM Grand Allure Collection
Featuring: Boy Guino-o, Benjie Manuel, Dax Bayani, Jaz Cerezo, Joel Bautista, John Herrera, Jontie Martinez, Lizanne Cua, Llyod Arceo, Marc Rancy, Melvin Lachica, Nat Manilag, Philip Torres, Popo Go, Ren Manabat (Function Room 2 & 3)

7:30PM Reene Salud (Function Room 2 & 3)
9:30PM Premier Collection D
Featuring: Ceige Cagalawan, Delby Bragais, Dimple Lim, Edwin Uy, Kermit Tesoro, Norman Noriega

Then after that, a friend invited me to go to a photo shoot for an upcoming band. I will be getting a lot of experience from this obviously and it really is a good way to start this new hobby of mine. I already got the jargons loaded on my brain, now its just the application that I have to worry about. I'll be maximizing whatever I've got on a stock camera. I got the notion that I am doing farely in Macro shots but I am yet to practice glamour and portrait shots. With everything lined up for me, I hope I survive this weekend. I also got a date this Saturday so I'm looking forward to that! =)
