Weekend Plans: Videos, Fashion and Music: SHONEN KNIFE, Jake Cuenca and Manila Symphony Orchestra

It looks like I found something better to show off my videos and it does support high definition ones too. I always looked at VIMEO from other videographers and was astounded by the quality of it. I did not know why I just tried it now but hell it looks like its more fun. Actually I had a short upload time too which would benefit me a lot because often times when I share my work it usually ends up around an hour for a 100MB video to get online. That's if when no one is using the Internet connection ha-ha!



As for my activities this weekend I am trying to choose between the Mall of Asia and the one in Intramuros. I really want to go out with the D60 KREW again shooting the Manila Symphony Orchestra but my golly SHONEN KNIFE my favorite Japanese band of all time is going to be at the mall on that day, not to mention the BENCH show featuring Jake Cuenca. As you know I am into fashion photography and since I do not get any male models that much I think this would be good practice right?! I hope there are not that much people in the venue. Where can I get a photographers pass in these events?! Hohummm.....

I Had No Regrets Moving

My brother and I bought a parcel of land south of Manila so we could have a vacation home for our folks. This region had lush greens, plantations of pineapple, jack fruit and coffee all around so it was quite a sight to behold. I did not have that much appreciation with nature and stayed in the concrete jungle most of the time; because I feel the need to always hear cars passing by whenever I am at home. My Mom and Dad wanted peace and quiet which is the total opposite so we did succumb to parental pressure and got them their own pad in the outskirts of Manila. It is a 4 hour drive and there are no Los Angeles Moving Companies in the area so just imagine how hard it was to transfer their stuff in the beginning.

When I stayed in LA a few years back I had to move out of my folks house because I was already 18. Moving Companies Los Angeles was able to help me through this daunting task of getting my stuff out of the garage and into a new apartment a few hours away from our LA home. I knew my folks would not agree on it but I had to find my own job and place to live so I could train myself to be more independent. Everyone else was doing it and they turned out fine so I asked my self a couple of times why shouldn't I?! I went ahead and took the initiative to apply on every company I know in Silicon Valley so I could at least afford the place I rented since it is not a joke to have one in that area and I do not know how long my Dad was going to help a bit. I was thinking of having a roommate that time but I was worried about security. If I do not trust the person that much and only resort to have other people live with me it would be extremely awkward. They are not like Movers Los Angeles whom I entrusted to have my stuff to be moved. They even stayed off working hours just to make sure I have all my stuff accounted for. I was thinking if I could get one of my classmates from college to stay with me once I get to know them then it would be easier for me to adapt. USC was an opportunity so I immediately grabbed it when a scholarship was offered to me. My grades were not that bad when I was in high school and I scored ingeniously in their entrance exams and interview. That scholarship saved us a lot of money trouble before I garnered my Computer Engineering degree. Now I work for a multinational corporation that dealt with the best networking products in the whole world and I am glad I ended up so good in the end. Now I even got the chance to stay with my folks every now and then for a vacation. I really did not regret moving out then because just look at where it got me now.

Song Addiction 101

Well it looks like I am in the mood again to download songs for my blackberry. I am currently having a good time at work because of MOONY. Yeah she is the big girl who looks like my sister, her tracks are played in posh clubs all throughout the world. From her famous tracks like DOVE, Flying Away and others... she has captured the hearts of trans house music lovers all over the world. I like everything that she does because it is easy to listen to, it is still house trans music but it is never too complicated to learn. There should have been a dance contest on her tracks but I know not everyone knows who she is.

Aside from her songs, I also downloaded the popular dance tracks. I also got a couple of romantic songs from Tamia. I like her a lot and I want to marry her someday hahaha! But of course that would be a straight punch to the moon. A long shot of sorts!

Do you have any songs in mind that I should download over at 4shared?! =) let me know and comment on this post. Thanks!

Storing My Photos Now!

I am currently having some problems because my hard drive is acting up again. When I opened it up this morning it was in a snail's pace. It was even hard to see some of the icons in my desktop so I was thinking memory might be running a little low. I was shocked because a couple of warnings suddenly popped up. My drive space apparently is low so I went ahead and looked for cd-r media so I could transfer all my photos to them. Yes I am guilty because I filled up my 120GB drive with raw files. Imagine all my 42 photo shoots are all there and I have them all in 2-3MB or more pieces so it obviously is the culprit of the laptop's slowdown.

I do not know if this would be the next thing I will have to do but it seems right that I keep a library of my work so I would not be a victim of stolen pictures. That is a little common here nowadays. Keeping the CD would also be better because I can just put them inside my folder and bring them out when I need it. I can also have them organized per shoot so everything would be easier to find. I will rise to the occasion and have them labeled too. It is something smart to do and did I say a good thing?!
