my taiwan brothers are back

Paul Villacorta — Mon, 26 Jul 2010 17:11:30 +0000

Last March when we flew with some of our chapter members to Taiwan to visit our JCI San Chung Chapter Brothers we had a very memorable and a cordial reception from them. I never knew they were that kind and very accommodating that they treated us as one of their own.

Today, it’s our turn to show them some smashing hospitality because they’re visiting us here in Cebu. It’s so nice to see them again, those faces like Mark Chen, Mark Lin, Gary Ko with his family, the good ol’ Tamo the ‘God Father’, Max, Johnny and his fiance, Apple, Nick and one of their Past President OB. Half of our chapter went to the airport to welcome them and half of us were preparing their food at Neo Neo in Mabolo. As usual we welcomed them with juicy barbecue and the beer!

We chatted around, we drink bottles of beer, we took photos with them and we talk and talk and talk. This is just day 1 and we’ve prepared a lot of adventures for them. It feels so great to see them again! Long live JCI San Chung Taiwan and JCI Mandaue!

HOLGA D Concept

Paul Villacorta — Thu, 22 Jul 2010 03:00:15 +0000

The HOLGA D Concept is a work of a creative genius Saikat Biswas. The idea is simply to create a very simple, handy and elegant digital camera preserving its very root the HOLGA camera.

Let’s talk about its features. You should not be surprised if you won’t find any LCD display on HOLGA D unlike any other digital cameras. It is an adaptation from the good old film cameras where your photos would remain mysterious.

Just like with those vintage cameras, you’ll always have an idea how many frames left for you to shot, effects like B&W (black and white) or Color, the aspect ratio and the battery status. You’ll be able to set the ISO and Focus Ring. There is also a port where you could plug accessories like Viewfinder, Aperture disks, Hot-shoe and a mini Flash.

In my opinion, I guess the standard battery pack should be used on this camera instead of the regular AA battery.

Well, this digital HOLGA camera is a toy camera that you would want to have! You probably can’t wait to have a grip on this camera.

What is HOLGA?
The Holga is an inexpensive, medium format 120 film toy camera, made in China, known for its low-fidelity aesthetic.

The HOLGA D. Concept by Saikat Biswas

Holga D is a digital camera inspired from the extremely popular cult of Holga and other toy cameras of its kind.

The Social Network Movie

Facebook isn’t just about a Social Networking site, it has its movie right now and its called ‘The Social Network‘ of which for me its more of a ‘Facebook Movie‘. This movie shows the early history of Facebook ,its struggles in court trials and how it made its fortune turning Facebook to a BILLION DOLLAR Company.

This movie is based in part of the book The Accidental Billionaires. Written by Aaron Sorkin and directed by David Fincher, and Jesse Eisenberg as Mark Zuckerberg.

Trailer 2 from Yahoo Movies

If you noticed, they had a good choice of music on this trailer, ‘Creep’ of Radiohead which was covered by Scala a Belgium girls choir.

INCEPTION

That’s it! Tomorrow this will be in movie theaters and this long awaited sci-fi thriller movie is going to make a hit! and I’m kinda saying this because this has a 9.6/10 rating in IMDB (you just have to control yourself not to be tempted to click on the spoiler section.)

And my friend Darliza shared me on Twitter a Comic Prologue of the movie. I can’t grab a a photo on their Yahoo Movie page so I did a screen capture of it.

ewmew fudd

Try to enter “ewmew fudd” and click on the “im feeling lucky” button, Google displays everything in Elmer Fudd-speak. You’ll notice also that ‘directory’, ‘im feeling lucky’ and etc with ‘l’ or ‘r’ has been replaced by ‘w’ like ‘diwectowy‘ and ‘im feewing wucky’.

This is really old like 2009.. And it’s still available. A minute or a couple wouldn’t be bad to waste your time. Go check it out.

Truth resides in every human heart, and one has to search for it there, and to be guided by truth as one sees it. But no one has a right to coerce others to act according to his own view of the truth.
