Trekking @ Siquijor #itsmorefuninthephilippines

2012-01-30T00:56:00.000-08:00

I got to visit Siquijor last weekend. I spent two and a half days exploring some of its municipalities. Two and a half-days are not enough to learn and discover Siquijor. :) Just a snapshot on how I started my Siquijor adventure - from planning to the actual exploration itself. I was surfing online about what to do in Siquijor, I have learned from friends of places to visit. But I did not

i heart rivermaya. i just found this spreading in facebook. i was just so happy that at some point in my life this particular band was part of my highschool life. their song - awit ng kabataan somehow grew in me and made me appreciate the uniqueness of my adolescent journey. high school was fun, it was different from the way other high schools were. we were filled with angst, but we kept it

a quest for a camera bag

2012-01-22T21:24:00.000-08:00

my camera set has just celebrated its first anniversary. my parents bought my first dslr camera and i have so far made use of it wisely. its first foreign trip was mexico and considered the philippines its 2nd home. it was bought in the US by the way together with its tamrac bag. my cam is a nikon d3100 dslr. it was the latest during that time because of its live view feature (compared to other

I am reading Edward de Bono's Serious Creativity. I have not finished reading the whole book. I am just 1/5 of the whole book by the way, but I am serious of finishing it. So far, I am ok with his ideas and how one should think using the different hats, as described below courtesy of http://www.debonogroup.com/six_thinking_hats.php: The White Hat calls for information known or needed.

at a planning session today. i was just reminded about Ansoff. the popular matrix is used in strategic planning - and is defined as: The Ansoff growth matrix assists organizations to map strategic product market growth (http://www.ansoffmatrix.com/). more about ansoff can also be found from this link: http://www.quickmba.com/strategy/matrix/ansoff/

stuck song syndrome

locally it is known as the last song syndrome. in some parts of the world they call it earworm. sounds gross. :)

blog surfing

2012-01-15T21:07:00.000-08:00

i was searching for Goolai's contact details when the search engine led me to this particular blog: http://thephilippinesandbeyond.com/. i like the way he laid out the header photo. it's quite catchy. i wish i could be organized yet creative as that guy. i have not read through his blog though. i am still searching for Goolai's contact details, although the blogger mentioned that Goolai's stuff

couple's remorse - the script's nothing

2012-01-15T02:59:00.000-08:00

the initial 1-second video image reminded me much of a particular story board in the terrified's video - where it featured Zach's singing skills... although that is another story. i super like that video by the way... and the song - it somehow reminded me of how much i was so effingly terrified about feeling something towards this person. hayyy so 2010. :) anyways, i have been fixated with the

excited for the tangled thingy

2012-01-14T23:04:00.000-08:00

i am actually excited for the tangled ever after - the rings. mainly because of zachary levi. :) just kidding. i am actually curious about the six-minute sequel. i watched tangled last year with almeera and ken, and it was almeera's first ever big screen experience. she did not even show any signs of being awed or shocked of seeing a tv bigger than the people around. i only learned this from my

New look for 2012

2012-01-01T22:28:00.000-08:00

I am overhauling the look of this blog for 2012. New year. New look. :) This lay-out looks geeky, not that I want to convey a geeky theme for the blog... oh well, we work in certain formula - in the way we deal with life, your formula may not work with how I perceive things, but that does not mean, we could not work together. :) Hehe! Happy New Year everyone!

remembering 911

2011-09-11T05:57:00.000-07:00

one of the dreadful and traumatizing events in the history of the world is 911... it was one of those events that we wanted to erase - for it caused lots of heartaches and anger. according to wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/September_11_attacks): The September 11 attacks (also referred to as September 11, September 11th or 9/11[nb 1]) were a series of four coordinated suicide attacks

Zombading - laugh trip movie

2011-09-06T14:16:00.000-07:00

If you want to just laugh - try watching Zombadings - Patayin sa Shokot si Remington. :) A pretty - no- brainer hilarious movie. I love the chants: Charoterang isprikitik, umapear ka vahkler. Magpa-feel, magpa-sense ditey sa baler. Witiz shokoley ang udangchi ditey sa fezbuk mong kalerkey! I also like Jigs. He is cute.

Andi Eigenmann

2011-09-06T14:04:00.000-07:00

Andi is a good writer, and I support her after declaring to be an official blogger. Anyways, she is trending lately because of her blog regarding the identity of her child. You can find details of Andi's blog from this link: http://andieigengirl.posterous.com/. She has changed her recent entry to accommodate Albie's fans - whom I think were harassing her. :)

Amanda who?

2011-09-06T14:00:00.000-07:00

Amanda Knox is trending in yahoo. And I was like wondering who Amanda Knox is. I surfed... and found this from Wikipedia (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Murder_of_Meredith_Kercher#Amanda_Knox): The murder of Meredith Kercher occurred in Perugia, Italy, on 1 November 2007. Kercher, aged 21 at the time of her death, was a British university exchange student from Coulsdon, South London. She

Scientists find 'master switch' gene for obesityReutersPosted at 05/16/2011 3:47 PM | Updated as of 05/16/2011 3:48 PM LONDON, England - Scientists have found that a gene linked to diabetes and cholesterol is a "master switch" that controls other genes found in fat in the body, and say it should help in the search for treatments for obesity-related diseases.

We were never an item. Yes, we exchanged sweet nothings through text. We were exchanging nice stuff. He went out of his way to meet me up on a work-week-day. He would often make my day ok. He would make me smile. I have my own quirks. All I know he would try to avoid conflict. He would often try to appease me - just so that we would end our day ok. This I don't want. Mainly because, I don't

Einstein's

2011-05-11T21:22:00.000-07:00

I like the way the article provided a practical analogy on how Einstein defined gravity. What we think of as gravity, Einstein said, isn't a force that pulls two objects toward each other. Rather, it's a warping of space-time itself that makes objects want to move. The classic real-world analogy is a bowling ball on a trampoline: the ball makes the trampoline's surface dip. That's something

all about the moon

2011-05-10T07:37:00.000-07:00

I love watching the moon. At this very moment, a half-moon is lurking over me. I enjoy watching it. I enjoy the idea that amidst darkness, the light coming from the moon brings in certain hope... So i have surfed about some physical facts about the moon compared to earth which can be found at the latter part of the blog. The moon is just plainly pretty to look at to. It's ok to be in a
