Dance Performance Made of Pure WIN!
Here's a sample clip of one of the dance performances during the dinner after the Mindanao Bloggers Summit 2 here in General Santos City: The performers are members Teatro Ambahanon of the Ramon Magsaysay Memorial Colleges. It was really a very interesting performance. Skills wise and in terms of atheticism, they really gave a 100%. The choreography was artistic. Kinda shocking, but not too bad. Not for minors, though. DIDYA ENJOY IT?! MORE TO COME SOON! :P

The Night I Used My Baccarat Knowledge For the Good of Mankind
Last Tuesday night, I had a blast at the Digital Filipino Networking Event at the Pantawan Hall of the Casino Filipino at the Grand Regal Hotel here in Davao City. It's not secret I go to the casino regularly with my friends, but usually I am there to control my friends' gambling. After weeks of going to the casino, I was able to finally wield my gambling know-how to help out other bloggers. The night started with a sumptuous buffet of veggies, seafoods, and lechon (roast pig). Then, there was a bit of talk from Tita Janette Toral about the progress of blogging in the Philippines, and the top 100 blogs for 2008. We were quite proud that there was a number of the top 100 bloggers from Davao such as Blogie, Kuya Andrew, and Winston. Then, the fun began. There was overflowing iced tea, and BOOZE. Ten bloggers were then chosen to play in a poker tournament. Me, Kuya, and our other cousin Gwing were all chosen. YEY! Our goal was not to be the first one out of the table. LOL! And we managed to do that. Gwing was the third one out. While, me and Kuya managed…
Being Happy
Had a cathartic talk with a dear friend today. It made me realize that I live a pretty sad life with too many struggles going on right now. I am actually struggling not to fall into depression again. But I have somehow managed to stay happy, smile, and somehow not cry myself to sleep every night. Maybe I have finally grown up, learned how to roll with the punches, let go of the pain, and look at the happy and funny side of life. Sometimes, I do get to hear my thoughts and feel the pain in my heart, I wonder and think of the what ifs, and the maybes. But I always sleep and wake up sane and without much thoughts of sadness and anger. As my friend affirmed, happiness is a state of mind. And right now, despite the pains and struggles, the haters and the critics, I choose to smile, to be happy, to keep myself sane. I look at my life, my work, the people I work with and have fun with, and see that somehow, I have helped them smile too. And right now, that is more than enough to keep me going. ;)
October 2008 Hair Cut
A few weeks ago, my cousin Gwing and I had the idea to have our photos taken before and after we have our haircut at David's Salon. We are members of the Portraits Studio so we can have as many free photo shoots in one year. And we are getting bored of having our photos taken for no reason. Thus, the before and after haircut shoot idea. Here's a photo of me before my hair cut: And here's the after photo: My "new" hair cut isn't really new since I've had a similar one last December. It's a shorter (below the shoulder) layered cut with side bangs. Maybe next time, I should try out a more radical change. And here's a photo of me and Gwing, with similar hair styles: We didn't plan to have similar hair styles, we weren't even seated near each other, but we somehow both ended up with similar styles. Thanks to the nice people at David's Salon and at Portraits Studio! :)
