Candy’s Birthday

Dinner at Pancake House near East Avenue. Videoke at Music 21 Timog.  The company of my good high school friends.  There are some simple things in life that just can’t beat that.

Nikki singing her heart out :)

Note to self: Don’t try singing “Womanizer” ever. Again.

Note to Candy’s friends: If you want to learn about old classic love songs, she could help you out with that.

Happy Birthday Candy!

Lost 6×01 and 6×02 “LA X”

Here’s an awesome comparison of the opening scene of Lost in Season 1 (left side) and in Season 6 (right side).   Same plane, different chain of events.

If you go into watching Lost with expectations you might not enjoy it.  You’ll be asking questions “What the hell happened?”, “Who’s that guy?”, “What’s with all this destiny crap?”, “Huh?”.  But the secret is to just sit back and let the story unfold.

Cavite Coastal Road Extension (as of February 2010)

Progress of Coastal Road Extension in Cavite (Feb. 2010)

The extension of the current Coastal Road (official title “Aguinaldo Boulevard”) linking Metro Manila to Cavite will greatly alleviate the traffic in Bacoor.  It will significantly cut travel time from Metro Manila to my hometown Tanza to less than 30 minutes.  It will save precious time that is often wasted in traffic.  My fellow Caviteņos know this experience very well.

The long overdue road extension will bring greater progress and development to our part of Cavite (which isn’t even that far from Metro Manila to begin with).  If I’m not mistaken this project was supposed to be completed in 2009.  Or maybe before the end of PGMA’s term. (At its snail pace of construction, I doubt.)

Among the issues I want our next President (and Governor) to address, the coastal road extension in Cavite remains one that is particularly important to me.  It affects my commute.  Yes it does.  You might think what’s wrong with a little traffic… but imagine what we could be doing with that time being wasted.

It affects the lives of MILLIONS of Caviteņos living in Bacoor, Kawit, Noveleta, Cavite City, General Trias, Rosario, and Tanza.

I will use my blog to help cover the progress of this road in photos.

Really really quick recap

Arrrrg. I promised raw updates.  Less on post-processing of photos and videos.  Just RAW updates about what’s going on lately.  But dammit I’ve been so busy this past month!  I’ll just toss in twelve random pictures from lately.

This is the pizza we ate during the 24 Season 8 premiere.  Ordered from Yellow Cab in Tomas Morato.  Delivery was swift.  Like, ten minutes.  Getting really hot pizza before Jack Bauer storms New York made me feel generous enough to give the delivery man a good tip.

And this was the Charlie Chan pasta which we ordered-in with the pizza.  DELICIOUS!  Great seeing President Allison on 24 again.

He is the “Merienda Man”.  He drops by our department around 5 o’clock in the afternoon to serve snacks like hotdogs, barbecues, and california maki.

Here at Dolphy Theater, my colleagues were patiently watching…

Gibo being interviewed on Y Speak!  The episode “Y Vote 2010″ airs on Saturday, February 6 at 7:00 PM on Studio 23.  Those are the couches in our conference room.

Finished a project with a client.  Wheeew!

Pineapple juice because I was puyat.  Gulp, because Neil knew naaliw ako sa malaking container.  And the new 7-11 at ABS-CBN.

Madam Hazel graces our office.  Iba na talaga pag nag-wwork ka sa 15th floor!  Executives and all.  I’d like to suit up like Daniel Meade and work on that floor too.

Nineteen 20

Everyone here is reacting to… my reaction…

OMG PS F D MONTH

When I learned I was the “PS of the Month” (think of it like “employee of the month”)… something I did not expect to get!  I was so surprised.  On the other hand, it’s also more pressure to keep coming to work early.  Parang, eto na, na-awardan na, pangit naman kung ma-late uli ako.  I need to maintain the momentum.

Figuring out our next stop

That’s Mark and Upper at Kitchen of Cakes and Coffee or KoCCo.  Upper is literally using the map to help decide where our next destination is.  She travels so much!  We’re thinking Palawan maybe.

Happy Treat at Amici's Morato

Picture of me (January 2010)

I don’t know what I did but I believe I’ve started the year on a good foot.  I’m waking up early for work.  I’m freeing up time to accept creative projects.  I’ve renewed my blog and domain for another year.  I’ve settled bills and I’ve started to set aside cash for my first trip to Boracay.

On a January day in 2010

These days I’m busy building my creative portfolio on Multiply.  My layout and design skills are also being put to the test.  I want to dedicate this year to nurturing my field of passion which is the visual arts.  I want to study design.  I want to grow out of the box.

I also want to…

  • Stay focused at work.  Keep going to work early.
  • Continue to do freelance multimedia jobs (that don’t conflict with my regular M-F)
  • Invest in useful things this year (like a Netbook).  And, SAVE.
  • Enjoy Baguio and Boracay in February.

Much love. <3
