The Avant Garde Wedding Photoshoot Video

As if I was never tired of writing about it, here is another thing that I made for the models and my colleagues at NOCTURNALS. These are the shots I compiled to simply thank them and have a memory of this event that happened in Barabara's Orchidarium Manila. That quaint little hidden place at the side of Luneta Park. They have short courses with Chinese Restaurant flare that appealed to mostly families and patrons from nearby residents. It was nice and tasty and never overcooked which surprised me. I am a foodie too so quality was very important to me. The pansit merienda though did not impress me. I wonder what happened to steak when I wanted to have that on the same day. If the served that and seared it right the day would have been all perfect.

Anyway enough about food because I am on a diet again! Hahaha... been having problems taking time to go to gym and gained a lot of weight over the holidays. I just hope I do not go over what I expect to be an appalling state. Geeze where are those diet pills when you need them huh?! LOL


I hope you enjoy the video I made even if this post is not that much about the photoshoot, I was just practicing how to embed videos from facebook to my blog. =)

Just enjoy the show!

The Good News: $8,000 Tax Credit

It looks like the economic turmoil in the US is ending and there is great news that a huge relief for first time home buyers and people who have owned their first residence in 5 years. The federal government is giving them a break from the stress this crunch has brought in the past year. I have learned today that income tax will be credited to them which could reach as high as $8,000.00. That is like hitting the jackpot and deserving what you have worked for. Imagine you would benefit from the taxes you paid for from the time you started your careers. The $8,000 Tax Credit is not a joke and can alleviate people who are still recovering and getting more burdens from the situation brought about by failing companies and ailing market forces. There are a lot of people who lost their jobs, got a new one and then got back on track so this is going to be a better alternative for them than purchasing a home which they could not afford. I really like the fact that they even give out around $ 6,500.00 tax credit to people who have lived 5 years consecutively in their first home from the last 8 years. This is a very big help for families who just started.

It has already been extended by the federal government and expanded at the very least; so the right move in this case to take advantage of the opportunity to get the huge tax credit they offer so you could purchase the home you need. It is plain and simple. If I were you guys I would seize the opportunity!

Maybe a Prayer Would Do

I have a friend and colleague that I recommended to work. I hope he performs quite well tomorrow when he tries it out for an interview. The post is in operations so there is kind of a prejudice in making it since he has experience from other call centers already, which he probably passed with flying colors. I know he can do it since he kind of was not just average but near great when we were in high school, yes ladies and germs he was my classmate then.

Surprise surprise it seems that I am getting still connected to these guys even if I kinda shyed away a few months or years ago, I don't know why but it is the right thing to do. I hope to still reconnect and fix things with them but not that much. Well you still hope for the best really in this day and age. I want to be as civil as I want to and yes I still love those guys even if I felt offended once, I probably just do not know what to do now.

I am just hoping for the best and expect nothing in return, at least I am helping them already which is the first thing that went on my mind when I started all of these things. Let everything fall into place please! Thank you God!

Make Sure They Are Covered

I have always found health care to be an important part of our lives. It has been one thing that I wanted to always get this for my folks because it is very expensive to get sick here or elsewhere. My Mom is already 65 which is the ceiling age for this particular benefit from the office but I still want them to have additional medicare supplement plans so I would not have to worry about them. My Dad on the other hand is still young and renewed his medical coverage this month. I know how he has to sometimes take regular visits to the doctor and get his heart checked and I am quite confident it will be all better. He was asked to undergo angioplasty procedures last year and he is a little hard headed. He chose not to do it anymore because he saw what my other relatives went through when he did this. Although that part got me worried because even if we think this procedure may be too much for his condition; the doctor still said so... and we are going to have second opinions on this matter I am sure.

The US President still has this on his priorities and has come across large challenges with the republicans and some of the democrats because it is very hard to fund this in the midst of economic turmoil. What is funny is that there was a woman who even went all out of her way to ask wedding proposals in YOUTUBE so she could get health insurance coverage. She got lots of proposals too as a matter of fact. If you think about it, it has something to do with the importance of getting covered. It is expensive to get sick nowadays and the last thing that you should get yourself into is to go out in the corporate world and not have it.

I am still lucky I have my folks covered. Some are not that lucky but if ever you have something to prioritize when you get work, make sure this is in your list since most of them offer this for free. I always want to get my folks taken cared of, I'm sure you do too.
