Saw Some Booty Shakin Last Night =)

I just woke up ladies and gentlemen at exactly 2PM Manila time. I went out last night with my co photographers from NOCTURNALS PHOTOGRAPHY. I really had a blast. I had about4 bottles of beer @ MGM Superclub and a couple 4 more with my other friends from an org on another club. I wanted to relax a bit and I think I have really achieved that last night. I want to say thanks to the guys who I went out with last and hope this ain't gonna be over! =)

We went to Manor initially but since there was some details not fixed with the promoters we went ahead and proceeded to MGM. Beer was overflowing and I had the nicest time watching the bootyshakin that was happening at the stage. It was all good.

This is also the first time I got my Flip Video out for testing in a club environment and I guess it performed quite well. I really like the fast recording and movie making that comes with the software. Flip is really one of the greatest things since sliced bread! Now I want to experiment with the rest of the features available on its editing software since it can cut and save files right from the get go. I really like it a lot! I would recommend this for people on the go and who are real true blooded gadget freaks! You will like how small it is but not the preview window because it looks too small on a flip mino. I just like it because it is convenient and because of the superior quality of videos you can make on it. Just take a look at what happened last night. =)

The Perfect Fit

I am so happy I have friends getting engaged. Of course I am one of the few persons they ask about engagement and wedding rings. I guess I have established good taste in this field and I wouldn't want to brag about it but I did a pretty good job in the past. I have quite some knowledge about diamond cuts and how it looks like set on rings. I had some information through wedding sites and magazines how to choose one based on a person's personality. I have been witness to good choices in engagement rings but some of them end up with unattractive ones because they fail to ask people who know how it is. It is something personal but taste is a whole other universe to explain. Asking me would have saved them small ridicules from friends and family. The Internet too has a lot to offer. If they took a peek at RITANI for example, they would have never gotten mistakes about any of their choices. All that is offered there is fashionable and up to date. This in my case is a good place showcasing great taste in engagement/wedding bands/rings... when you need it most.

I would not want to see any of my friends suffering that same fate so I make it a point that I meddle in some way or another in their choices. Other than that, I would take time in pointing them to the right direction so that they know where to look for these things in the first place. I am so happy with our choices for them though because we got this new couple a princess cut for her engagement ring and a marquise cut for the wedding ring. It's the perfect fit!

The Simple things in Life

When all the things go wrong and I don't have any appetite to eat anything, mom whips up my favorite... LUGAW. Yes ladies and gentlemen... rice porridge. I like it without anything on it. Just plain old rice and the flavor of chicken. I don't like chicken on it too LOL. I know I'm weird because of all the food that I have reviewed on my site I always have appreciated a bowl of rice. Now it's my breakfast. I can always heat it up for lunch and dinner too. If there was something I would like to have with it, maybe the default garlic and spring onions would be okay. I don't like any ginger bits showing up on my bowl and I probably throw it out in the beginning of the meal. I am a little OC when it comes to that.

Aside from that, I get to watch my favorite Mickey Mouse, Donald Duck and Goofy cartoon. Which makes me wonder, what is Goofy's last name?! Hehehe... Goof I think right?! I know how corny I am but these are the small things I appreciate. You have some of your own too right?! Care to tell me what small things you appreciate in this world??!

This should be interesting. =)

Internet at This Part of the Globe

It's so hard to work in my shoes because I literally have to be on line 24/7. With my bosses outside the country I need some way to always stay connected with them as I do my everyday thing even at home. I often go to our house in the south which is around 4 to 5 hours drive south of Manila. It is kind of primitive there and some people never even heard of computers; let alone Internet connection. The local telecommunications provider cannot just put up a couple of thousand posts to get their line into your homes just to get you on line. If there were companies like wild blue satellite that would be able to get us connected in remote areas then it would be just perfect. The mountains and thick forest areas that surround our house are not really a good place to start with measly cell phone signals. Some people tried to convince us using 3G but I have been an expert in WIFI and networking devices since 1993 so you get the idea I was probably the last person who would not be falling for anything like that. I also know from my data communication classes in college about satellites and how they perform in far flung places. The mighty men and women of the US military depend on this technology too so who am I to argue right?!


I know how to configure ROUTERS and MODEMS. I know how they work great with satellite connections and these have been the practice in the United States too. Imagine having the convenience of wireless connections in your own home. Upload and download speed must not be sacrificed just because you are in a remote location. There are ways how people can benefit now from satellite Internet connection and they should grab the opportunity now. I don't want to live in the countryside and suffer getting way behind in news. I don't want my work to pile up when I can finish some of it at home while I take a break from the stress in the office. Am I right?!
