Technology Infrastructure and its Benefits

The Internet has been a mighty tool for economies and marketing strategists alike. People purchase things on line and the convenience you can get from all of these things is phenomenal. Some institutions can even deliver purchased products to your doorstep for free. The value of internet marketing and its benefits has outweighs the problem this medium has brought about in the industry. Harnessing its power is essential so we as a country would be able to perform well in a globalized economy.

The Philippines has a lot to offer; and if we do not try and cope up with the technology standards of our neighbors in South East Asia... there will be a vacuum for raw talented people. Our economy will remain stagnant due to poor network infrastructure and we would not be able to hit out economic goals no matter how much we want to compete with other countries. I would like to have my badge of honor set in keeping a safe but constant GDP growth and have that felt by the people I love in the Philippines. It's the perfect prerogative any leader should have. Now that we have elected a president who promises a better path to economic stability; I wish he takes the time to listen and heed the call for better infrastructure as we face globalization head on! Who's with me on this plan?! Let's go!

Burnout... I hope not!

Sometimes we ask too much of ourselves. I often think about what I could do to be better at what I do. I think that would make me better at work but now that I am contemplating on something; it includes the time that I haven't been paying attention to myself. I haven't had a vacation for 6 years. That and a possible burnout in a couple of days is looming. I just hope it doesn't happen.

My nose bled thrice yesterday and I was frantically trying my best to calm down. The condition maybe medical in nature but somewhere, somehow, I was thinking about me taking a break. When and how I would do this remains a question that all of my friends probably am asking.

Now that I'm looking at facebook a lot of times these days I envy my friends who go out often. Although some of them, I don't really know if they have money to spend hahaha. I want to try it out someday. Maybe a whole month out of the country. I need to get to Ireland and visit my brother soon. It would probably be a great trip to see the cliffs and green pastures. I want to see castles and photograph them too. Anybody has a spare ticket to Europe?! Hehehe just askin!

I Need A Vacation!

I need a vacation! I think I have been stressed too much lately that I am already getting sick. I am having nose bleeds every now and then and it is getting to me quickly. The break I want to have should be still comfortable. I couldn't stand the heat of the sun. I might pass out in the middle of travel and people might not appreciate passing by the hospital first before we get to the destination. I was thinking of getting myself one of those motor homes I usually see in Florida. That would really be a perfect fit; and it would be all good for my needs. I know there are affordable ones now in the market and I should start by taking the easiest way to find it... on line!

I could imagine pulling this from North to South giving me the best comfortable ride I've always wanted. I wouldn't want to suffer the same fate I had a few months ago where I had to cook until well done under the sweltering heat of the sun just because I needed to get to our home a few hours South of Manila. I almost fainted while driving and I dragged my Mom and Dad along too. That was a nightmare for me! I would never want to drive that way ever again! I need an RV or a motor home fast... do you know where to get one fast?! Let me know!

Happy Anniversary My D60KREW Family!

It was hightime we did a photowalk again or as we had on some of our printed shirts FOTOWALK NA D60KREW! Because we are celebrating our Anniversary this June. Since the threads conception last year, my dear camera (Trish) and I have been buds with the same breeds as with my peers over at the D60KREW. I learned a lot from doing street photography and portraiture with them. I guess in its simplest form, I did have a lot to learn when I started this hobby and what great news to have but get acquainted with people who have been using the gear more than me... I met the D60KREW family when all I wanted was to take decent pictures and I think I got more out of that.... obviously it spurred lots of hot days under the sun and the camaraderie. All that and the fun quirky moments with the other guys and gals of the krew.

Here are some highlights of the Anniversary walk last Sunday:

Cid Estrada, Ryan Liberato, Ardiel Ross Topacio, Valynn Katrine Mag-usara, Francis Cayetano, Bangge Sella-Mahilum, Andy Rodriguez 洪安洛, Ronald Reyes Orcino, Me , Xander Solis, Andrew Alonto and Ms. Bambit. If names are missing facebook probably had something to do with it hahaha!

There were a lot of group hugs that happened. Some of them were really wacky as you might have known. What can we do, we're a happy bunch! If you combine the antics of the good guys and gals of the D60KREW, the long walk or travel would not probably tire you... but the laughs in between will. This walk was sort of a comeback since we held our first one inside the walls of Intramuros. It was scorching hot but we had a lot of fun!

Here's more of my BTS shots:

Happy Anniversary D60KREW!
Until the next FOTOWALK! =)
