They Connect!

Parents usually go back from work worrying about their kids because they mostly are not around the house on office hours. ParentsConnect.com has heard your call; you can now be up to date with upcoming events and activities in your area with this site. Information is now right at your fingertips so if you want to know what is happening in your community, this is the place to go.

Your sons and daughters maybe outside but since you are connected; you have neighbors and family that can take a look at the activities they are engaging in. Educating them also on urban living can be done with this type of social media. The opportunities are endless! So if I were you I would start by registering on this site and get to know the people around your vicinity. It is not too late to get to know them.

Now parents can also install a widget and get the best news and highlights on their area, with the chance to win $1000 if you get the most views. Make sure you sign up and get that little widget on your site; I already have it on my side bar. Do you want to be the last to know?!

Back to Multiply?!

This morning, I went back to multiply. Yes that is the social network I was using a couple of years ago. It has been a little tiring to maintain that and this site of mine so I sticked to this web site since I enjoy interacting with my readers more. I know I have not been able to get back to that site but since I have taken photography seriously these past few months, Multiply is the only place I can upload pictures and videos I make for the other photography groups I joined. They use that too so I did what any normal person would do, go back to it too (^_^)

The only downside of it is, I don't get to update my other technical blog anymore which I have been painstakingly been working on for the past few months. Without that existing, a couple of my technical articles would probably end up sleeping. Yeah I know how it feels!

I will start and go back to that blog one of these days and take care of it. I will make sure that it does not go beyond what I know so my readers would be still able to read it. Well, that is just a plan. I guess I have to take that into action this week. Wish me luck!!!

An Answered Prayer

I saw my Dad pressing those buttons profusely to get to another sports channel he enjoys watching in the afternoon. It would have been easy to do that if we did not have 4 TV sets, 3 DVD players and a play station II console. Not to mention the sound system and the couple of speakers we have spread across the living room that use these remote controls. He ended up throwing that out of frustration... and I guess tomorrow I'll be buying another one of those universal remote controls that do not work when you need it.

Different brands, different frequencies, radio wave or infra red we do not have the capability to understand all these complicated and technical things just to be able to switch channels. I hate to spend a couple hundred dollars just to buy a more complicated remote that would not work because you need to decipher hundreds of codes. Since I am the more technical one, I end up getting frustrated too when Mom and Dad asks me to do it for them.

Lo and behold our prayers have been answered! With the use of just one remote to control them all, life would be really easy. They just released the new Yamaha neoHD and this one just gets everything working. The DVD, TV and radio is a cinch to control with just minimal control buttons customized for ease of use. I want to get that thing into my hands now.

They also launched the Yamaha neoHD Sweepstakes for those who want to get this for free! I love them so more since they made it easier for me to get one. My dear readers, try to find them on face book and tell me why do you need the new NEOHD? Are you going to enter the contest like I did? Comments are welcome!

The Plans for the Weekend: Another Major Photoshoot!

Google @ Intramuros (previous shoot of D60KREW)

This weekend will be great since I will be part of the KREW that will organize this shoot. we went on an ocular inspection of the place a few weeks ago and agreed to have this shoot on the third week of August. Guess what? It is already the thrid week so this will push through. I contacted the ever reliable Boss Andy and asked about the details of the shoot.

The concept is still HIGH FASHION (one that I have been doing for a couple of shoots now!), the models will be using gowns/long dresses/PUNK outfits. The location of the shoot is very picturesque right in the heart of SHAW/Mandaluyong area, it's an abandoned building, it has character and geometric shapes because of its raw cement exteriors... and... it has a huge view of city scapes (San Juan and Makati Area) and the Golf Course (Wack Wack Golf and Country Club) at the back so be careful we might get hit by golf balls (not a joke!).

We might need additional lighting (so I hope the KREW and Digital Katipuneros bring em all!) coz it is a little dark on some floors while the top one would be great for some day/night shots. It would be probably scheduled around mid to late afternoon since the wind, shadiness and ambiance would be perfect around that time. This is going to be big since Andy would like to have this shoot with Digital Katipuneros... sort of a joint venture... we'll have 6 models 5 girls and a guy(probably Google). I hope you guys are excited as I am!


I hope the whole D60KREW and Digital Katipuneros will come. This will be a riot!
