LeBron James On Vexel

2010-07-22T16:39:00.000-07:00

I did my first ever vexel (for whatever that means) after 547 layers and for a total of 15 hours! The image that I used here is the image of LeBron James. I was thinking of having the image of Candice Swanepoel (Oh BTW she is a Goddess!) in this project but I saw a lot of female images on vexel everywhere already and so I thought it could wait a bit. Then I ended up vexeling (I guess that isn't a word yet?) LBJ.

This project has a total of of 11 groups: for the T-shirt, face, hair, beard, eyes, brows, nose, ear, mouth, and upper & lower lip. I decided to do so because it is easier to get back to that part where I wanted to put more detail into.

I was having a hard time posting the time lapse kind of video of how I did it here in blogger.com.
It keeps on saying: "server rejected the video". Hmm. maybe something isn't right with their terms and conditions. lol!

Here's the youtube video:

This Time by Maniac Garage

2009-05-19T10:45:00.000-07:00

This Time by Maniac Garage
listen to it here:

I heard this first from a Spanish speaking woman in her mid or late 40's. And She got this song as her ringtone! At that time, I thought this Maniac Garage is a Colombian or a Spanish local band and I thought it was cool to hear this kind of song from her phone.
I have been hearing this song for almost half a year now, And that was after a few minutes of serious Googling I finally found it!

Well, I never really got the full song. just the 30-second mp3. (and I am starting to believe that this is all there is)

But what's interesting is that I learned that this song was first done by a JPop artist named Makou.

As a consolation I got Makou's version of This Time safely hibernating in my hard drive.
Here is Makou's version:

Lyrics are here: ( i think the lyrics Tia got here needs a minor correction.. lol)

Song Artist: Makou
Song Title: Right Now
Written by: Tia Cheung

Newspapers read undone on the corner of the street
I'll go to memory of the place we left crying
in the day we never like try to make our way
I should have told you and i be u because you had pay it it's mine
I still can hide it it's been here for a while and i can now believe you're here in front of me
cause I can read you

right now not then
I can still remember when I'm working my way back to you boy
I'm really gonna try

right now not then
I can now remember when so I'm working my way back to you boy saving your time
this time this time this time...

now I found you work my ... my shoes i got bless on you
tell me what i'm gonna do

I can read you

right now not then
i can still remember when i'm working my way back to you boy I'm really gonna try

right now not then
i can now remember when so i'm working my way back to you boy saving your time
this time this time this time.......

========================================

If you know where I can get the full version of Maniac Garage's This Time... Please Let me know!

Google can't help. answer.yahoo.com neither. These guys are virtual unknown.
Makou is a Japanese pop artist, but her song "Right Now" came out in Korea around 4 to 5 years back!

Hey wassup everyone! How's the epic hunt for the "One-Hit-Wonder Turned Into A Ghost-Kind-Of-A-Band" went so far? When you reaaaaalllllly want to hear something this good and you can't even get or buy the full song to listen to it, it sucks eh? Seems like something out of your control is denying you to hear it! Maybe, just maybe.. If rich records producers hear or see this mini-song on youtube getting a million hits, they will be thrilled to hunt the band for us. What do you think?

Hello Maniac Garage hunters!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! (Those exclamation marks are necessary. lol)

I'd given up all my hopes for searching the (not-so-existing)could be- mp3 of this song.

First, let me state my reasons why I tend to be so certain that there's nothing more to find about them: this band Maniac Garage and their song Right Now.

Its been more than half a decade now (or longer than that and that's what i believe) since the first accounted query for this band came up. And it is already July 1, 2010,(BTW, LeBron James is a free agent now! Where do you think he'd end up? lol) at this day and age it is really so difficult to be invisible even if they chose to.
Traces of them should have came up by now if they really are for real.
Somebody would have uploaded the whole song on Youtube, or even shared it on limewire already.
Some kick-ass blogger would have already blogged about it.
BUT NONE of those should haves and would haves ever happened.

And as for the 'Right Now' remix that I am planning to create, I will keep it on my to-do list and will do it when time already permits me.

Peace out people!

Few Things That I Didn't Know About Qatar.. Till 6 Months Ago

2009-01-05T01:50:00.000-08:00

I've been wanting to post something like this for a long time now. Damn!

1. In Qatar..There are considerably fewer Qataris compared to other
nationalities.

Sabi sa wikipedia: sa 1.5M na tao currently dito sa Qatar, not less than around 350K were believed to be citizens. How's that? Ang unti no?

2. Oil is substantially cheaper than H₂O.

1 L of H₂O is around QR1=PHP13.0something

1 L naman ng Gasoline ay QR.90something lang!

Sayang hindi pede i-papackage!

3. Aside from the absence of Pork in the market, There are no Citrus (Kalamansi) as well .

Opo. Walang kalamansi. Kaya eto, lemon na lang at patis ang sawsawan kapag merong bulalo na niluto si Kuya Lito. Hehe. Oy! QR5 each!

Baka po ma-misinterpret.. Kalamansi is not forbidden by Qatar Law as it is the case for the porky piggies. Sadyang wala lang po talagang kalamansi dito.

Teka punta pa kami ng Villagio nila Jessa at Marian.. Makapag bihis na nga.. Kapag hindi na naman ako sumama eh, baka sabihin na nila e meron akong sariling mundo at baka upakan ako nung mga yun. Isa pa baka maiwan ako ni Bose driver.

To be continued...

Ayaw mo? sige bahala ka. ka!

End: 04-Jan-2009 5:35pm

...Continuation: 04-Jan-2009 11:31pm

To begin with, naiwan ako ni Bose driver. Kaya nag-commute na lang. (Tsk tsk tsk.. QR15 ang damage sa car-lift.)

Ayos naman ang Villaggio. Kasama pala si JaneAng natutunan ko sa araw na ito ay double "G" pala ang VillaGGio. Di ko napansin yun dati. Kanina lang. kaya nga kung babalikan mo yung spelling ko ng Villaggio kanina isang G lang. Tingnan mo ulit (sa taas.)

Oh kitams!?

Now back to the subject matter..

4. Instead of saying "Excuse me." Most Arabs will say it like "Secuse me."

"Secuse me. Can I have a burito please?" "Oh kita nyo na Secuse me daw! oh.

5. Indians, and / or Sri Lankans (a.k.a Pana) when asked something answerable by Yes. No. or Maybe will nod their head side-to-side as an answer.

ganun yata talaga sila. They do this almost everytime.

6. Luxury cars? Sports Cars? Name it! They're all here. BMW, Mercedez-Benz McLaren, Porsche, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Escalade, Land Rover, Mustang, Corvette, Koenigsegg CCR, Bugatti Veyron, etc..

Yung mga Land Cruiser, pang-simpleng tao lang yata dito yun.Yung mga sports cars na sa Fast and the Furious, MTV Cribs at magazines ko lang nakikita, eh.. nakakasabay lang namin sa kalye.At kung saan saan lang iginagarahe. Wala daw kasi car-napper. Eh, sa 'Pinas... Park sa loob ng garahe, todo taklob pa. Yun tipong ayaw paalikabukan. Sus! Ipa-laminate nyo para wag marumihan!

7. Marriage certificate is required when a couple decides to stay in any hotel anywhere here in Qatar.

Hmmm. Hindi ko na i-e-elaborate pa ito.

8. A place for public worship (especially Muslims) can be found in each and every mall that I have been in.

I am just wondering... What if ganito rin sa mga Christians sa bawat mall sa Pinas? Wala lang. Naitanong ko lang. Ayos sana ano?

Nalimutan ko na yung iba.. Tuloy ko na lang next time 'pag naalala ko na.

Meanwhile, tulog muna ko.
