My Christmas Wishlist
Saturday, December 20, 2008
1. Repaint my room - as everyone who knows me will testify that I've got a notoriously short attention span, the plain white walls of my room will have to go and be replaced by something Burgundy.

2. Get an HDTV - every technophile and gadget freaks obsession. In specific: Samsung LA22A450.

3. Mount the HDTV - as this is harder than purchasing an LCD and dragging it to your home, I put it as a separate item.

4. Nikon D90/Canon 50D - Although I've already owned two digital SLRs, I've bought and sold them so I'll be saving up for these babies this next year.

5. Wacom Graphics Tablet - who needs a mouse with these around?

6. Oakley Juliet w/ Black Iridium Lens - apparently I've been born into a generation who thinks looking like a bug is cool.

7. HP Mini-note 2133 - I know there's an updated version already but silver is my weakness.

I'll be appending this post a lot this christmas as I scrape the malls for new gadgets.

Congratulations to Manny Pacquiao who has won yet another bout and put the Philippines in the map. I hope you don't run for president though.

Samsung Live Loud Ringtone Making Contest
Samsung Philippines, upon the introduction of their new music phones are holding a ringtone-making contest to showcase the music created by individuals who are musically inclined, as well as those who aren't. I'm planning to enter however, even though I've got an entire folder dedicated to the music that I create, am having a hard time editing them to fit into the "ideal" ringtone format and choosing what's best to have your phone blare out. Wish me luck.

At a Creative Standstill
Saturday, December 06, 2008
Everyday I am bombarded by outstanding designs, both web and product design and I think, when will I ever make mine? A great thinker once said that a great idea is made up of 1% inspiration and 99% perspiration. I think I've perspired enough, still no inspiration though. I'm in a rut. Definitely. But I'm still hopeful that it will eventually happen when I least expect it.

Just another Bomb Threat Monday
Monday, October 27, 2008


For call center employees, Monday has always been manic as calls spike at the start of the week. This monday was no different but for an entirely different reason: a bomb threat. SWAT officers had their bomb sniffing dogs all over the floor as all the agents were evacuated. Most of them hung out at ministop next to Sutherland for about an hour and a half until they declared that the threat was just a hoax. Worthless.
