Just looking back, I am quite surprised on how things could be. I'm turning 1 year now. 1 year staying in Singapore and I had to go look back on old posts especially after hearing from Barney (an old office mate of mine) that my post on Singapore was really hopeful.

Sadly, I got blindsided on what I should have posted on first and open research other possible points! *bonks myself* Of course it took me quite sometime after a couple of lollies and an illustration to work on.

Graduate from?

August 15, 2008 10:31 AM

Graduating from a good university, college, school is a big help. You get the nice names plastered on review centers, you can walk around being confident, you know you're not another test dummy and what you have practiced is one hell of belief that would help you in life and stuff.

Aside from flawlessly rolling the name out of your tongue, your chances of grabbing that job is almost in the bag.

So what's my point of posting this quite obvious thing?

When Geek meets Fever

August 14, 2008 12:56 AM

Self-treatment is always easy. Telling someone, erm sorry, advising is easier. But when treating someone else personally, it gets to be a different thing.

With John having a fever, after checking on the meds, the temperature, buying a glorified cold press, and the spongie bath, I finally did some searching.

So for those who are technical and more into quick answers and understands diagrams, here you go!

Save Agno!

August 2, 2008 10:57 PM

The biggest business is food for me. Everyone needs food, wants food, adore food. It is especially wanted more if the food is forbidden, dirty, delicious, and cheap.

Food Tripping 1: Isaw Girl by ~syobe on deviant ART

maDot (yes, one of the imaginary friends my other friends would conjure of) messaged me this rather interesting post regarding one of the recommended dining spots around the University.

On July 31, some officials from the Manila City Hall tried to sweep away the street food vendors in Agno in response to the complaints of middle class diners in the neighboring building.

What was the complain? Business competition.

Give me a break. Agno has been there before them! If there is such a competition they should find a way. Competition is always there. Sheesh.

Me ? Rare ?

August 1, 2008 12:50 AM

Your Personality is Very Rare (INTP)

Your personality type is goofy, imaginative, relaxed, and brilliant.

Only about 4% of all people have your personality, including 2% of all women and 6% of all men
You are Introverted, Intuitive, Thinking, and Perceiving.

How Rare Is Your Personality?

Got this from my batchmate in college, Bots.

Welcome to Singapore: Lau Pa Sat Cleaners and Police

July 30, 2008 2:42 AM

These are one of those times that you see the big difference in staying in Singapore.

Being a web designer, web developer and/or project manager or just being a simple janitor, a laptop and a good connection is the best combo you can give me other than a baby back rib with a sweet taste of mushroom gravy sauce. Sprinkle in my super powers of insomnia and workaholic, it's practically an extra appendage of my so called life.

My recent visit to Manila was almost what my father would answer when asked about it. It was another trip deemed to be toxic. It was actually - my grandmother passing away and suddenly leaving in a middle of a stressful week at work. So there I was again at some corner somewhere with a laptop. *sigh* Talk about my previous trip even with John to Dumaguete, I still had my fingers tied to the keyboards.

Working at Hotel Palwa, Dumaguete City

Giving Fonts that personality

July 27, 2008 6:39 PM

Here's a nice internet video clip that every designer (and I am very sure) can totally relate care of College Humor. See how Times New Roman is too formal, New Courier being ermm..., Futurama being robotic, and Comic Sans Serif save the day with his bold panties.

The Dark Knight the Movie

July 19, 2008 2:15 AM

So ... finally... I have watched The Dark Knight in one of the nicest movie houses in town called the Gold Class. For such a highly recommended (yes, as early as 2007 I've been hearing it from the Psychic Dude again and again), anticipated movie, why not spend a buck or two to fully relish the movie right? Yup, John just got the best seats in the house and I must say, it's damn worth it!

The Dark Knight is pretty much a continuation of its pioneer movie, Batman Begins. After Batman made its appearance in Gotham, he has helped lower the crime rates. Making criminals from the small to the large scale meet at day and hide by night, a new villain steps out and offers the most outrageous goal and cunning of all plans, Joker. As Joker challenges Batman's credibility to put Gotham in order and Bruce starting to feel the weight of Batman's shadow on him, Batman considers that there should be another face for justice. A face that appears on day, a face that follow the rules of the system, a face that is known to the public and doesn't hide behind a mask - District Attorney, Harvey Dent.

Illustration Friday: Sour

July 11, 2008 2:43 AM

This week's Illustration Friday theme: soooour

Sour Puss

With my current Apprentice fever, I can't stop laughing my head off at the sour pusses in the game.

You know how sour pusses are. All the word vomit, all so negative, all that feeling of people should pay attention to them because they're right for seeing things wrong.

Really interesting. :)

Total time of production: 3 nights minus the Ninja Gaiden 2, house chores and office work. :P

Help him save his wife

June 10, 2008 9:44 PM

During the early years of me pursuing a formal training to my design skills, I met this wonderful guy. Teacher Dennis, AKA Tatay Dennis, was one of the professors there who is not only cute and has become an icon of the institution but of a great mentor, friend, and tatay like to me.

Recently, February 2008, his wife and daughter got into an accident. They got hit by a truck and ended up in the hospital and underwent a lot of operations and procedures done, most especially his wife.

Help Sir Dennis. Visit his site now and donate.
