Thank You Boys!

Just when I was starting to become jaded and pessimistic, the world, you guys, gave me a reason to smile. You made me cry, made me remember, made me realize that everything has not been in vain, that the hard work has not been futile. Thank you for making me believe again! Thank you for making me realize I still matter! Thank you for giving me a reason to move forward! THANK YOU!

Me at the Eraserheads Concert

photo by Markku I remember listening and singing to Toyang a dozen times a day when I was in Grade 5. In Grade 6, I memorized "Pare Ko" by heart, and even watched the movie based on the song. LULZ! My favorite Eraserheads songs were With a Smile, Huling El Bimbo, and Fruitcake. Huling El Bimbo became popular as me and my first year classmates in 1 - Pearl of PSHS-MC were about to part ways. Fruitcake, on the other hand, became popular during the Christmas season during my second year. I remember my classmates Rhoda and Kimberley giving me a Fruitcake cassette as a Christmas gift. I was a fan. Not a total fanatic, but I loved them nonetheless. When news about their reunion concert spread, I never expected that I would be able to watch it. It just so happened I am in Manila for work. But then I really didn't have the P800 for the tickets. But one day before the concert, Poyty sent me an SMS informing me that Red Horse through Juned and Markku was giving away tickets to bloggers. Eraserheads. Reunion. FOR FREE! How could I say no?! So there I was 4 pm…

WordCamp Shirts

There has been sooo much buzz about the WordCamp Philippines shirt design, that people are quite excited to get and wear theirs already. I have one as an organizer, plus I ordered two just coz. ADDICT! I finally saw the photos of the actual shirts (and not the rendered ones that Kuya Andrew the designer made), and I was satisfied. It's not as perfect as the rendered ones, but it's not bad at all. I love the colors and of course the design is great. :D Daming etchos noh, intro intro na chuva... I know you want to see the photos... I'm just teasing you. Eto na po... Organizers' shirt (ladies' fit) Red Campers' shirt (men's fit) Blue Campers' shirt (men's fit) I (We) will see and get to wear the shirts soon. :) Photos by the shirt printers.

Lomofied and Mangafied Ria

Kuya Andrew got jealous of Markku's lomo effect on a photo so he asked around how to do it, and he tested it out on my Davao Summer Thingamajig photo: by Davao Photo And people are either crazy or not so fond of their Manga Avatars by Face Your Manga. Here's mine: Doesn't look too manga-ish but the boobies are definitely like mine. LOL! :P

Filipina Bloggers

I heard a certain non-blogger stereotyped girl bloggers are the nerdy types who do nothing but spend time in front of their monitors and keyboards. GRAWRRR!!! Let me tell you this... your statement smacks of ignorance and says more about you than Filipina bloggers in general. Maybe you haven't met these bloggers (or your are too dumb to even know what a blog is): Ate Aileen, Google Country Consultant who is into food, travel, and the paranormal Kringy, a talented television director, who is into Asian films, she also one hell of a hot funny girl who will probably crush your untalented ass into bits; Poyt, a special education teacher and a part-time photographer; her boobies will put your little raisins to shame Phoebe, a chef in-training who is also into fashion Kim, a vegetarian radio DJ, and film addict Gwing, shopping addict, badminton player, campus crush ng bayan, and mean girl who will make you sorry you ever said those things Mica, Belo Medical Group ambassadress Karla, a photographer, music enthusiast, and food lover Tita Jane, a yogini, Blue Eagles fan, and hot bogging mama And there's more where they came from, so shut your pie hole b*tch! You…
