welcome to this world JJ!

he has arrived :)

Sarah, my brother's girlfriend, gave birth to a healthy baby boy on July 3 at 7:15PM. at mabigat, dahil 7.5 lbs hehe. my brother, whom i call Boyong (i suggest you skip the question why), is still in the US and is waiting for his new passport to be released (yes, he's now a certified US citizen) before he can go home. probably in a month. my sister told me how anxious Boyong was the minute he got news that Sarah was already in the hospital. pagkaka-describe pa ni ate, "hala ganyan pala si Boyong pag natataranta. di mo makausap at lakad ng lakad ng mabilis pabalik balik" hehehe. i would understand. that's just joy welling up coupled with the anxiety that he can't be at her side during this delicate process. though he missed the moment (the first sight, the first touch, hearing the first cry) i believe he's just as joyful hearing the news that JJ was born. oh, did i tell you his name yet? it's Jordan John. Jordan, obviously because Boyong and i are great fans of MJ (i mean his airness, not the king of pop). and John because of John the Baptist. and dahil daw si Jesus was baptized in the river of Jordan. ganon?! hmmm.. OK. makes sense. sige pwede na nga ikaw naman ang bida ngayon :)

it was funny my tatay called him "gi-gi" (that PLDT caller ID commercial before, it comes to mind). "GG?!? ano yan, galunggong?! tatay, it's JJ. let me repeat. J... J... got it?" :P everybody in the family is just so happy and excited. our family has seen only the first 4 pictures of the baby and here's one:




look at how cute he is! awww... :) at ang puti puti puti!

the mother and the baby are still in the province. i hope to see you very soon JJ and we'll play cuddle cuddle haha. call me uncle timmy! ku-tsiku-tsiku-tsiku :D

gone too soon

Michael Jackson: 1958 - 2009

Michael Jackson died about an hour ago in UCLA hospital due to cardiac arrest. yes, the Elvis Presley of my generation has passed away. CNN reports that he fell into a coma for some minutes before expiring. he's 50.

i'm sure for a lot of us of the same generation, we have lost one of the greatest artists and musical legend of our time. that high-pitched voice punctuated with squeals and titters. the glove. white socks. the crotch-grabbing dance moves. moonwalk (my goodness all my life i tried imitating this but i just can't). tight military jackets and the aviator glasses. who could ever forget? my all-time favorites would include "Billie Jean", "Thriller", "Man in the Mirror", "I Just Can't Stop Loving You" and "Heal the World".

he was actually preparing for a series of big concerts which start next month in UK until April of next year. i won't even call it a comeback. we haven't seen him in major performances for years now and i'd love to see him again performing on the big stage.

talented and troubled as he is, he transcends millions of hearts and souls through his music and i believe that is what he will be remembered for. timeless. universal. even beyond words.

rest in peace peter pan!

where hypocrisy happens

for us avid basketball fans, it's the time of the year when we determine "where amazing happens". it's the NBA playoffs! and this is what i go gaga over with for the past few days (aside from a little betting on the side hehe). but when games are over, i scourge the web for, you know, other daily hot topics, mapa-tv patrol man or cnn. and this is what i came up upon last Monday. watch for yourselves..



if you're a blogger and gay, you probably have chanced upon Perez Hilton's blog one way or the other (go google, i don't wanna link it here). if you're just gay, then probably you've heard his name before. if you're Piolo Pascual, then that's a different story.

i am not a gay blogger (this i'm sure), and certainly not gay (this.. uhmm.. i still have to convice myself), but i know this guy. err gay. i know him but not in an intimate way of course. he started this already blown out of proportion controversy by asking Miss California Carrie Prejean if she thinks other US states should follow suit in allowing same-sex marriage, after Vermont. it seems that Hilton was none too pleased that Prejean chose to actually be honest and give her personal opinion on the sensitive issue. she did not even say she hates gay people or that gay people are scum of this earth yet he ripped her in his blog afterwards and even made a video blog, whining, bitching and sounding downright bitter (go search youtube).

wth, never ask a question when you're unprepared for the answer! it's plain stupid. isn't the whole point of asking a question is to get someone's true feelings? rather than all the superficial "world peace" and plastic answers we're all used to hear.

she opposes it and that's OK. that's here personal opinion. what if Miss California answered "yeah i support gay marriage"? would Perez then praise her and call her an open-minded and great person rather than calling her "half a brain" in his video blog? would she then be celebrated on gay-focused blogs, websites and magazines? see, that's the price of having to straight talk nowadays.

i've followed keenly the US presidential election last year and President Obama and VP Joe Biden (then candidates) both share the same belief: that marriage is between a man and a woman. add Hilary and Bill Clinton to the list. these are American liberals who happen to have the same belief as Ms. Prejean yet they are praised for their opinions. or let's put it the other way around. Ms. Prejean, who is a beauty pageant, happens to share the same belief and opinion as these liberals but she is being shred to pieces. where hypocrisy happens. really.

personally, i don't understand what all this deal is about gays getting married. if i may say so, marriage i believe is a responsibility, not a selfish pleasure, to raise up a family with your children borne of you both. gays can't have kids thus they can't marry. simple. end of story.

at the end of the day, we all have to be true to ourselves. anyone who is in favor or against an issue should not be condemned. tha day we condemn folks for speaking honestly is the day we become hypocrites.

now back to the NBA...

hearing a bad news is one thing. but if it's about someone you know is even more sad.

last night as i was preparing for work, i received a call from a friend who told me Carter, the newest member of my technical team (from work) figured out in a vehicular accident in SCTEX (Subic-Clark-Tarlac Expressway). good thing he and his 2 kids (aged 4 and 3) were OK. what's worse however is that his wife died. i was suddenly overcame by shock and sadness to the point that i wasn't able to put my mind into everything i tried doing.

a couple so young. full of promises. how suddenly can life be taken away from anyone. *sigh*

today together as a team we offered a time to pray for Carter and his kids' fast recovery and strength to overcome this challenge of great proportion.

a moment of silence for Carter's wife. may her soul rest in peace.

Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations - The Philippines

October of last year, my country was visited by one of the most renowned chef and intrepid world traveler, Anthony Bourdain. if you are a cable TV subscriber, you'd probably chanced upon his name or show. he's the host of the Travel Channel's culinary and cultural adventure program: Anthony Bourdain: No Reservations. not the bald guy who has an appetite for the bizzare. si Andrew Zimmern naman yun, host ng Bizzare Foods of the same channel (matter of fact, AZ's first show was about the Phillipines - balut, Palawan worms - pero that'd be a different story). beside his documentary of the country/place he goes to, he is known but may not be appreciated by all for his unpretentious remarks on their food. known for being an unrepentant drinker and smoker (but has stopped since the birth of his youngest daughter on 2007) Anthony gained the respect of many by his gut level honesty whether on the place, culture, chefs (including the chefs kuno), the people and of course the food. no wonder he has a cult following.

his visit to our country started from an enthusiastic video of a Fil-Am Augusto Elefano, encouraging Anthony to discover the Philippines, just as he himself was trying to accomplish. he's a typical Fil-Am. grew up in the United States pero had little or knows as much as the culture as his parents taught him. ika nga nila sa US, "Am-Fil yan hindi Fil-Am." i believe the online video was a finalist entry to a Travel Channel's contest in relation to Anthony's show. next thing we knew, AB is in Manila for a visit!

his arrival and i guess the jitters of everybody's expectation from him is reflected in his blog entry pressure drop.

his visit brought him to places around the country. as i've rummaged thru the web, they were blogged and documented by these lucky folks: ManilaStreetWalker and MarketMan.

Binondo (even tried the turo turo, haha :D galing!),
Cubao Dampa (photo grabbed from Anton Diaz's blog)


Pampanga (can't find photos of his visit)

Cebu (lunch's full menu, another entry) - that's the same bulad and danggit store we went to last week at the Taboan market in Cebu (sayang di ko natanong yung may ari)

according to Ivan Man Dy a.k.a. ManilaStreetWalker, some of the places he's supposed to visit around Manila which were taken out of the list were Quiapo, Salcedo weekend market, and a pares-mami joint. read his entry in The Daily Inquirer.

and his verdict? AB puts our pork at the top of the Hierarchy of Pork. yeah, ours is the best in the world! :D i'm sure you're drooling for some sisig and lechon now :P

i'm a big fan of this guy and can't wait for this episode to be aired here in Manila (it was shown in the US last Feb 16th and it's already downloadable from iTunes). tagal nga eh. i haven't seen it yet and if he gives an honest opinion about our country whether good or bad, i'll still respect the guy. as long as it is said on a good faith and unbiased. anyway who has eaten our lechon and said something bad about Pilipinas? huh? hahaha :P

here's a teaser video of that episode for y'all!

"It tastes like candy..."

a moment of silence for the master rapper, a fellow urban patriot, photographer, an idol.


(grabbed from his multiply site)

the master rapper is now with the Master. rest in peace yo!

p.s.
when i heard the news, i remember the first time i saw him in person. performing live at the Ali Mall (Cubao) food court. 1994 i think. was one of those awed fans :)

McBimbo

brought a lot of memories both happy and sad *sniff sniff*

love ko toh. pramis.




oh the bittersweetness of your first love. i think i need some fries...

and if there's one thing this tv commercial legitimized: geeks don't get the girl! hehe but they get the gold! haha :P

OT: i can't help but notice. yung choco fudge sundae nung lalaki was filled to the brim, bakit pag ako umo-order hindi puno?! waaaaa :P

Merry Christmas everyone.. i hope we stay happy always. cheers! :)

charise on the O show

if you haven't seen Charise's latest guesting on Oprah show then you're missing a lot baby. "World's Most Talented Girl" the Sept. 9th Oprah show is one full hour episode on Charice, highlighting her life from a small town girl competing in singing/talent shows to becoming an international singing sensation. and who doesn't watch Oprah in America? come on!

as a Filipino, i am just as proud as everyone is on what she has accomplished so far. Filipinos really possess world-class talents, di lang tayo nabibigyan ng break especially on Hollywood where being good enough won't entitle you a ticket in. kelangan you have to be damn good amazing. sensational to say the least. just listen to how Oprah was blown away by this little girl's talent. no other than legendary David Foster was tapped to develop and bring out the best in her.

the first time i saw this episode (the day after it was shown on tv) i literally had goosebumps all over. her voice, the emotion on her singing voice is soul-stirring. i was even teary-eyed when she sang Celine Dion's most famous hit. i'll let you watch yourself and see what i mean. here are some of the highlights. click "watch in high quality" para mas malinaw talaga.


part 1
Oprah - "nothing is more fun for me than helping to make somebody's dream come true especially when this somebody is a gifted young person who really really really wants it and really really really deserves it.."
- "..a girl with an incredible sets of pipes."

Michael Buble - "no matter how good i am you kicked my butt.."




part 2
who among our Filipino singers has had duets with world-class singers like Andrea Bocelli or was even invited personally?

Charise - "..we left my dad and after that i never saw him and i don't wanna see him. i'm just singing now for my mom.."




part 3
David Foster - "it's the extraordinary gift and she seems to really get how to take care of it, preserve it and cherish it, which is really the important thing.."




part 4
if you won't be moved by this performance, go get a heart-checkup!




part 5
no other than Celine Dion!


well, dreams do come true. if you noticed she goes by just her firstname nowadays. i heard that's because her dad was mad at how he was portrayed in her daughter's life in all the shows she'd guested in. eh kasalanan naman talaga ng erpats niya. good thing for Charise she didn't give up easily or else she might not have been living these days to see her dreams coming to realization. way to go! Filipinos swell with pride i assure you that :) keep it up!

ella ella, eh eh eh..

it was all wet all week here in Manila. typhoon Marce hit the region, or actually almost the entire of the country, that left most of us soaked in the rain going to and fro the office, stranded in traffic, pass by flooded streets, restricted to inside our houses or maybe rediscovered that you really are sleepyhead :P para sakin, it's all of the above hehe. but there's one particular thing i discovered that had me blogging tonight (it's 1AM local time).

if you knew me better, ako yung isa sa mga tao na hindi talaga nagdadala ng payong :). it's on my hell-i'm-a-guy-i-don't-do-these-things list :P yung prinsipyo ba na di bale nang mabasa ako sa ulan wag lang ako makita ng iba na nagdadala ng payong haha. parang hindi kasi manly hehe. often i ask my sister to accompany me sa sakayan ng taxi o jeep. bago ako sumakay binabalik ko sa kanya yung payong and she brings that back home so pagpasok ko ng office wala talaga akong dala. hindi naman ako nababasa madalas or ng sobra so it wasn't really a big of a deal. but not until this week. i was converted from being one of those anti into a, believe or not, firm believer. 'twas a complete turnaround. you probably are thinking what triggered my melioration.

Monday. regular day for me. woke up at around 7PM to get ready for work. i called this ihaw-ihaw nearby and ordered something for our dinner. 20 minutes passed and my friend and i decided to get our food dun sa kainan. pero it was already raining hard that time. so we brought umbrellas and nagulat kami kasi baha na pala sa street namin at medyo tumataas na ang tubig. we really had no choice pero sumuong sa baha just to get our food. sa sobrang lakas ng ulan at kakahintay eventually nakatulog ako at hatinggabi na nakapasok hehe.

Tuesday. galing ako sa bahay i was going somewhere in Makati. i was hesitant pero i still brought an umbrella kasi sobrang dilim ng langit. and then umulan ng walang humpay na pagkalakas lakas sa loob ata ng tatlumpu't limang minuto na sinabayan ng walang puknat na malakas na ihip ng hangin. sakto pa na wala talagang masakyan nung mga oras na yun kasi baha daw ang mga dadaanan so walang nangahas bumiyahe. putik nung finally nakasakay na ako ng bus, dun ko na-realize na kalahati pala ng katawan ko, mula baywang pababa eh basang basa sa ulan. parang kanta lang ng aegis noh?! at doon ko na rin na-realize na pwede naman pala kaming maging magkaibigan ng payong. if i clung in to my pride that time, siguro na-ospistal na ko dahil sa hypothermia sa sobrang exposed sa ulan for a prolonged period tapos sobrang lamig pa ng tubig. at heto pa ang mas matindi. pagdaan ko ng Mantrade sa EDSA, kung alam niyo yung lagusan ng sasakyan sa ilalim nun (Pasong Tamo) hindi talaga madaraan ng sasakyan kasi puno ng tubig! tama po. the last time na nakita kong napuno ng tubig yun eh 1st year college pa lang ata ako nun. so mga 1996. after 12 years saka naulit. bakit ko naaalala ika niyo? eh yun yung gabi na naglakad ako mula sa pinapasukan kong kolehiyo pauwi ng bahay at madaling araw na ko dumating sa amin :P

fast forward to Friday. i had an appointment in the heart of the business district in Makati. i was not in my usual self, ibig sabihin naka-slacks ako, long sleeves and black leather shoes. so di naman poging pogi, medyo pogi lang naman hehe. i decided i'll bring an umbrella with me and lucky enough umulan ulit pero hindi na ako gaanong nahirapan maglakad o sumakay. but i still titter on the thought :P

this stormy week made me realize it wasn't really bad at all. to bring and be seen by others. ang mas nakakahiya eh yung meh payong ka tapos summer haha. so the next time we chance upon each other you might see me holding that long stick and just be shocked as i am. it's not a lance and you won't find any thoroughbred nearby. it's called an umbrella but hey i still think it's manly. and who knows? baka pasukubin pa kita :P

redemption

USA Redeem team has finally redeemed their lost glory. having failed to win the global tournament in 8 years, they brought their A+ game against the Spaniards who also brought their A+ game. yan ang championship game! 4 point lang lamang ng US going into the last 2 minutes. sobrang ganda talaga ng game. D-Wade was phenomenal sa 1st half then Kobe Bryant took over nung 2nd half. don't be mislead by the final score, this was really a hard-fought game until the final minute. in the end the "Star Spangled Banner" was played on the medal ceremony.

it just showed how far the rest of the world has grown in the game of basketball. but as of now order has been restored. USA reclaims its position in the pinnacle of international basketball. U! S! A! U! S! A!

murphy's law and jose rizal

life ain't supposed to be hard, right? no. but we can sit back and wait for that golden opportunity to just come by us, di ba? maybe. or how about this.. hard work and perseverance will definitely pay off later. yes. hopefully yes.

at my age it is a point where i seem so determined to really put my life in a direction where i wanted to see myself years from now. know what i mean? i could have done this on my earlier years but i wasn't that matured back then. "ubos ubos biyaya bukas nakatunganga" principle lang ako dati eh. not that i didn't enjoy those times mind you, i freakin' loved those moments :P pero siyempre times change. and so should i grow up. eto na yung mga stages na you're concerned about your future, not that you can control it but at least you direct it into a direction where you wish and dream it to be.

it's been almost two months since my friend and i decided to put up our printing business. and boy little did we expect we're in for the ride of our lives! investing into something, whether a relationship, career, bank account, business, house and lot man yan, is really challenging. it requires your time, dedication, your wildest thoughts, strength, talent (you're blessed if you have one), and money (if you weren't blessed with the former i hoped you're blessed with this one - pag wala pa din eh kawawang bata ka na hehe).

the company is actually a brainchild of my good friend Randy. he's been with the advertising business for 3 years and had, in my personal assessment, quite a handful of experience. printing was one of his previous jobs that company. he was fortunate enough start a partnership with a foreigner last year for the same business and they were doing good for some months. pero sabi nga sa murphy's law, "whatever can go wrong will go wrong". true enough this Korean guy went back to his motherland and pulled out all his machines and literally my friend's living. wala na siyang ibang kabuhayan but that tapos nawala pa. so to make the story short after sleepless nights and deep thoughts he decided to move on. with the little that he had left he hoped to start again. pano ako pumasok sa eksena 'ka nyo? eh we chanced upon each other one Sunday afternoon around June tapos kinuwento niya ang nangyari (ayang lahat ng isinulat ko sa paragraph na toh). Randy and i have been close like brothers through many years so trusting the guy and his vision did not come hard. so with the work experience that he has at yung konti kong perang naitabi sa bangko we decided to setup the business. ako pa naman yung tao na pag hindi natakot sa isang challenge eh it's not challenging enough. eh dito medyo tinamaan din ako ng takot so alam ko i'm up for something great. so off we go. we bought a large format printer, 44-inch, from his contact and a cold laminator naman na 60-inch from Hidalgo. tapos may dalawa kaming pc sa place niya and yung ibang former clients niya still had him do some printing jobs. so medyo naging okay ang simula namin. and to think the money that we invested is so little compared to those who had this same business. so siyempre i-expect mo rin na palabas muna lahat ng pera in the first 2 to 3 months and that's where we're struggling right now. good for me i still have my day job at least my salary is still enough to feed myself and my two siblings. lagi ko ngang binibiro na double job ako ngayon :P hehe.

on the course of these two months, we've experienced discouragements, frustrations, fatigue, shortage of money, and everything else we did not expect to happen. ewan ko ba, parang nananadya ang panahon. eto ha, Randy has his family (nanay at mga kapatid niya) living in San Andres bukid. two weeks before we started this business eh nadamay sa malaking sunog yung bahay nila. good thing is that 2nd floor lang ang nasunog. if that will not dampen your spirits eh mutant ka siguro.. sa ganitong business kasi dito sa atin eh 3rd party ink ang gamit kasi napakamahal ng original ink (P5K plus for a 220mL!!). when one of the 8 inks ran out, we had no choice but to purchase the original kasi wala pa kaming nahanap na supplier at that time ng 3rd party ink for our printer. eh may pending work for a client so it was so critical. kahit mabigat sa bulsa we had to come up with the moolah. and we had to buy it in Quezon city during a stormy Sunday noon kasi half day lang pala yung seller.. there is this system that you need to purchase para ma-convert mo yung printer mo into a continuous ink supply system o CISS. and for the printer model that we have, nahirapan kaming maghanap dito sa Manila. most of it kasi eh galing sa Shenzhen, China or sa UK. Randy does most of the research and he contacts immediately kung meron mag offer. we were ecstatic when he found one in Marikina, so tinawagan and ni-confirm na meron daw sila. so pinuntahan niya sa pusod ng Marikina, bumabagyo pa that time, bought the device and went back home. alam mo yung parang on fire ka tapos nabuhusan ka ng malamig na tubig? mali pala yung device and clearly the seller did not know what he's selling @&#$%!( nakakainis diba? what frustrated us more is that konti na nga lang yung pera namin (so we really were very careful in shelling out cash), napagod na yung kaibigan ko tapos we were 2 weeks delayed na i think on some of our deliverables that time. the morning after we went back to Marikina together para balikan yung nagbenta. coming from my night shift schedule i barely slept. kada upo ko sa jeep, sa mrt o fx kinuha kong tsansa para matulog. pagdating namin dun yung pinangako nilang meron eh wala naman pala talaga. pero at least binalik yung pera namin. kung made-describe ko lang ang naramdaman namin that time isusulat ko dito kaso hindi ko ma-describe. parang right there and then, our high hopes that this business will turn out very well could have really dashed out of the door. to be honest napaisip na ko nun, "ano ba tong pinasok ko?" "is this really gonna work?" i even thought of going to China myself para lang bumili eh. kaso bigla kong naisip wala pala akong pamasahe hehe. i think for about 15 minutes Randy and i did not utter words. ikinain na lang namin yung problema namin sa Jollibee (that's around 11AM na) and naisubo ko na yung huling butil ng kanin nung meh nagsalita na sa amin. sa totoo lang gusto ko ng umiyak nun nahiya lang ako puro bata yung mga nasa katabi naming table. isipin pa nila na boyfriend ko si Randy at nakikipag break siya sakin :P "papi, wag mo kong iwan.." hahaha :P

but you know what? little did we expect that there was still a glimmer of light we're about to see that day din. my friend started to flicker through the pages of his planner. it had some numbers of contacts he gathered from the internet. he called about 3 and i overheard him saying, "saan po ang office niyo sir puntahan po namin kayo... ah sa Malinta exit?.. andito pa po kami dulo ng Marikina pakiantay po kami..." before i can even ask a question we were on our feet again. pagod pero adventure talaga. to cut the story short, nagkaligaw ligaw kami, naubusan sya ng load, naubusan naman ako ng battery at muntik na rin kaming maubusan ng bait. wag kayong tumawa pero muntik na talaga. after about 2 hours we located the place and the consolation of all these unlucky things? the guy (sir Anthony) whom we met for the first time accomodated us like we have been friends for eons. cool guy, very approachable at napaka down to earth din. he gave us tips more than our weary minds can even remember. so for more than an hour kinausap niya kami and gave us more than what we need. di nga lang namin nabili yung CISS kasi one set dapat ang bilhin eh kulang ang pera namin. still he offered a cartridge with original ink that is about half the price compared sa labas. not bad huh. at least we went home after an adventurous day with a reason to smile a bit.

actually madami pa kaming problema ngayon. recently lang nagkasakit yung dalawang anak ni Randy, monthly bills, payment for the media, house rent, kakainin sa araw araw among other things. the thing that is most challenging for me eh yung maubusan ulit ng pera. there was one day when i only had P7.50 in my pocket and a whopping P62 in my atm account eh siyempre di ko naman ma-withdraw yun. that was like 4 days before my next salary so just imagine the worries. i literally had to flip thru my memory bank kung sino yung mga may utang sakin and i starting texting them. today, i only have P500, 5 days bago mag sweldo ulit. wuuuhhaaaa *sigh*.. hindi ko akalain mararanasan ko ulit toh after so many years. kumbaga since i started working eh i seldom had this problem. it is literally stepping out of my considerable comfort zone and put myself on the sacrifice line alongside my friend so to speak but this is exactly what i should expect the moment i agreed. pero i was born and raised in a poor family so these things are not new to me. there were even worse back then. pero really there's no other way than to move forward eh. it's either you stop or keep walking. Randy even joked one time na sana may video camera kami and na-document lahat namin ang mga paghihirap namin. yung mga misadventures namin. parang Ariel and Maverick lang ba. para when we look back we can just laugh at ourselves and appreciate better what we have in life.

it's been tough and it's getting tougher. but it's all good. it's all good..

post scriptum:

bumibili kami ng gamot ng anak niya kanina sa drug store, sinuklian siya ng tig beinte pesos, tinignan niya sabay sabi, "ngayon ko lang na-appreciate si Manuel Quezon." sagot ko, "dude, mas i-appreciate mo dapat si Jose Rizal dahil pag wala si Pepe, hindi mabubuo si Ka Manuel" :D

printing business

as Chinese regard number 8 to be lucky, i'd like to ride on that belief and advertise today (08-08-08) the business my good friend and i put up. it's small but it's large hehe. it's large format printing. we print just about everything you need into virtually any media you prefer:

photo paper
backlit
canvass
banner cloth
clear sticker, floor sticker (and other sticker-based media)
blinds
streamers

(in the meantime, we focus mainly on indoor printing. but we also accept outdoor prints if needed)

we offer other services which include:

standee (sintra PVC board, carton, or other types)
murals
backdrops
framing
vehicle wraps

i'll post some pics of the tools we've already invested in and some of the things we did for our budding network of clients. parang ang dami na eh noh haha.

we're not getting any younger so things like this come up to mind. eh ayoko namang maging employee forever na umaasa lang lagi sa swelduhan hehe. tsaka for the future na rin. i'm not Chinese pero hopefully we get lucky with this endeavor. wag na kayo magpa print sa iba ha. sakin na lang :P contact me thru email or cellphone number below my avatar (right side). salamat po!

my computer clock reads 4:29AM Manila time and i am still awake. don't even ask why. it's getting frustrating nowadays. i should be in deep sleep by this time. which leads me to really ponder on why am i still here. do i still love what i do? what keeps me from leaving? or a better question should be, am i ready to move on?

when something pushes me to the edge, i don't easily give up. not without a fight. i put up a challenge. pero feeling ko lately i'm trying to move a mountain without much progress. so when exactly do you say enough is enough? all i can say is that this is not good anymore. ain't healthy either..

iba ka talaga Pacman!

walanjo, hindi talaga ako maka-get over dito! nakaka-inggit hahaha :P



Manny Pacquiao kasama ang Boston Celtics team pagkatapos ng laban niya. at nakikipag diskusyon pa si Pacman keh Garnett habang naka-akbay ang lolo mo. parang hindi nahirapan mag english parang nagta-tagalog lang haha. ayus talaga!
