My Next Photoshoot: A loner in Pampanga

It will be a fun filled day this weekend as I venture out into Pampanga to visit some friends and possibly an EX hahah. I also would like to have a few shots taken with the churches and landscapes there. I just hope I won't get tired because I too am gonna come from work...

Aside from that, we are planning a trip to Laguna sometime late July through a backdoor path (particularly Rizal) that composed of some road trip type of a photo walk. I just hope we prepare for this one since it is going to be our first out of town experience as a group. We usually only travel via local trips here in Manila and Quezon City... it would be nice to see the country side every now and then.

Oh yeah before I forget, I lost the contest that I joined in photography. Its okay though because it is just my first time. I also am considering my shot was the best because when I saw the other contest entries, I was not that impressed with their work. I will be contemplating what to do in the next ones because I am surely going to battle it out again with another set of shots of Trish..my D60... watch out for it!

My Entries:

The Efficient Marketing Plan for the 2nd Half of 2009

The Business Process Outsourcing industry has been my bread and butter. As you may all know, the company I work for engaged in accounts that comprises of technical, customer service and sales oriented entities. On a successful call, one can generate a couple of dollars which would cover only the expenses of the operations. The main generation of funds usually would go to up selling the same services for a fee if certain criterion are met like warranty periods, end of life or value added services. There are specific audiences that the company should only get, mostly only those whose interest has been the one they offer. This can be gathered by consumer surveys, on line forms and other means. Getting this without the process of having middle men and all the bureaucracy can be easily serviced by other private companies. Business Sales Leads have long been used by contact centers like ours so a direct connection and sure sale could be established. Not to mention the other services that they can avail after this transaction. This is very good for credit card companies, cable television, satellite transmission providers and businesses that would not want to waste time and directly go to the person/individual that will avail their products. Saves them precious time and money in the process because it would avoid red tape.

The equation is easy, more leads would mean more consumers that would gladly spend for your product. This would in turn generate more income for any company. We can always take our own resources and find clients on our own randomly but that would only take more time to get a single sale because it is like shooting air balls in a basketball court. If the interested ones are tapped, then there would no longer be sales talk events every time. Getting more sales in a shorter amount of period would also convert into efficient manpower usage for any company availing this service. It is the smartest thing a manager would think about doing if he plans to be more than the usual. We did that already, do you want to be left behind?

Drifting and Digital Photographer Philippines 3rd Anniversary

Credits go to Sir Aly Reyes and Sir Jerry Tieng for this HUGE Group HUG!

It was one of the best things that happened in my "photography" life. Hundreds of Digital Photographer Philippines forum members flocked to Fort Bonifacio for not just any event but the 3rd Anniversary of the site. The attendance was huge, not to mention the others who were not able to officially register on the event. I saw some other photographers just going in just for the hell of it. I enjoyed the seminars I attended and learned a lot. Lightroom which is one of the most powerful photo editing software money could buy was also introduced to hundreds of people at that event. I attended it and I was so glad I could get my hands on it. Now it's a cinch to edit my photos with the help of this tool.

Drifting @ Greenhills

Other than that, I was fortunate enough to still go to a late photoshoot at Greenhills for a "drifting" event. Lots of cars were there and I thought I wouldn't enjoy it. It was really an adrenaline rush for me, I enjoyed it so much that I wanted to go back next time. I had several shots that would be exciting to look at since it involves flying tires and colliding cars on it. This was one of the best shoots ever! Nice cars, nice women and nice event... what more could I ask for?!

The Better Choice

I remember featuring an enterprise level chat software a few months ago that made rave reviews around the world because of its awesome features and undeniable superior quality.

Today, I was a bit annoyed in our office because they kept using the pop up service in the operating system we use for work. We are not part of the operations and the notices were much all for the Operations Department, which means every change they have in that side of the world would also bug us while we're doing our work. We have Brosix 3 BETA installed on several computers and it does what the other ones could not do, even better! The chat software made every transaction or personal favors more efficient and fast; which resulted to better communication and fast paced work too. This literally could save us thousands of dollars just to go beyond regular red tape like in any company.

I do not mind if this awesome software replaces that annoying thing built in on our operating system, this is more personal and affordable; because it is free! Anybody in their right mind should never think twice and get this now. I just did!
