Fasting Fast!

Thursday, February 18, 2010


Yesterday was ASH Wednesday but being the bad Catholic that I am I did not go to church again. I don't know why but half of that is because I am just too lazy to get up on a weekday. Anyway, that is just what it is. I am glad to know things are happening again in the office. It looks like our inputs to our project will be the topic when my boss comes into town. I hope we get to discuss some of the ideas that we have in order to make everything feasible in the project. Really looking forward to seeing boss in town.

Right now by the way, I am fasting because people do this as a sacrifice during this season. I wonder how much weight I would lose in a couple of days. I am optimistic but tomorrow I think we'll order fastfood again. I'll think about what I will order. Maybe chicken but no rice. Or maybe burger but I think meat is being barred tomorrow since it is a Friday. I have a lot of things to do also in the weekend so please give me a break! Later I will be a little late. I need to attend a meeting that will happen in the afternoon US PST time so that will be early morning Philippine time. Wish me luck!

Furniture Decisions Now

Wednesday, February 17, 2010


I guess I am not the only one hoping that it would match with the rest of the furniture I have in the condominium unit where I stay. Dining Room Tables that would fit the floor area I have is what I specifically need. The ones that I saw available at the mall appliance center are not customized to fit small spaces and usually cater to family style interiors which I do not prefer. I was contemplating if I should have one made to order but that would cost a lot. If I bought one from the mall on the other hand; I would need to cut off the legs just to get it through the door and stick it back when it's in. That would really be funny if I have guests then all of a sudden it collapses on us after tea. I would not want to get sued just because of that.

If I had the time to also go out and canvass some pieces in thrift shops I would not be in a dilemma. I barely have money to spend on my gadgets and this was a major furniture piece I was planning to acquire. Seeing the antique ones we used to have in my Mom and Dad's house I think I literally outgrew them all. I have developed a keen eye for appreciating modernly designed ones so I will have to stick with that. I do not want the eclectic format we followed suit at our old house because I am not fond of wood. I am more into metal and glass nowadays so I am trying to avail this if possible.

It has clean lines; it is chic and very functional even with its modern design. I would like to have this piece soon. I want one now!

Partied This Weekend Thrice!

I went out this weekend again. Well its bad enough that I had no time for a Valentines date but it seems much appropriate to spend time with the boys. This night out was sort of a post STAG party of Roger which I also mentioned a few posts back. With the stag party, comes the you know what part of every program. Yes we had a few drinks, I think I had around 5 bottles of beer that time but never got tipsy. I did not setup this occasion and my other friend Dex took care of the details. We had our own share of strippers and got them fetched around 8 in the evening. Got them inside the place we rented and cozied up a little then ate somethin too. I had a blast of course not just because of them but because the whole thing happened. Imagine this was even setup by the ladies hahah. I have to applaud them for that. I really love this day and if ever there would be a friend that would be married soon I would probably have to set this up for them too. Now where do I get the girls you say?! Of course I won't tell you! Haha!


Then again everything went fine, after that evening with the guys I still got to spend quality time with my hommies in The Fort and QC. I met up with them and had more bottles of beer then went to the Malate district. It was fun because we also spent some time over at baywalk. The Manila bay was not that great smelling but the ambiance of people staying there because it is Valentines season was awesome. Imagine I had about gone to 3 parties in one night, where else can I do that?! Only in Manila! =)

My Web Hosting Needs

Tuesday, February 16, 2010



There is a dire need for my photography group to put up a web site. Actually if you think about it; I need one myself too. Since I have engaged so much time and effort in this industry, the time to earn a living from it is inevitable. I need ecommerce web hosting as soon as possible so I could set up my photography business once and for all. I have invested money on lenses, cameras and accessories for this hobby and it has already taken me places. What makes it a little bit inconvenient is that I have no place to show my portfolio and show packaged prices at the same time. I have to get one now because I do not want to get left behind by competitors who are in the same market as I am. Although I am confident that my craft speaks for itself, I may have to show more in the long run and that is what I was preparing for.

Since I have concentrated in fashion and wedding coverage I do not think that I will have a hard time formulating a way to have everything automated from getting payments on line and arranging details on what packages they might want on the site. Getting this project up in the next few days would be better because summer and the month of June are fast approaching where a lot of these events usually happen. The start of finding web hosts is ON and design wise I will take a look at their various services. I hope that it would be sufficient enough for my standards because I want specific things done before I pay for it. I know who to look for now that's gone!
