superproxy

its a sad day for my generation since we grew up listening to francis magalona's music.
i loved listening to his music from Cold Summer Nights to Superproxy. and look at his photography/art.
a talented man indeed.

san na tyo makakakita ng superproxy nya?
may he rest in peace.

haze

i was up until 3am...
some people knows why...
my head is swimming...

and because of this.
i deserve a pedicure and a trip to the ice cream bar and new tsinelas! hehee!

being mortal

ah. its been a long time. 

i was juggling JO's after JO's. haggling for deadline extension -- baka umubra. its been a crazy week. hay.

****

watched Curious Case of Benjamin Button last saturday, not because of Brad Pitt, but because i have read the story way before i learned that it will be filmed. and i agree, it is one of the best films of 2008. =)

i've been reminded again of how short life is.

weird when g & i were talking about money and fulfillment. i said i'd pick fulfillment anyday. since i think there would come a time you couldnt think of a single thing to buy.

i feel fulfilled when i cook for the people i love -- esp. when all i end up with are dirty dishes. hahaha. i should really open my own carinderia. =)

taken from leaflens: always be happy, and enjoy. no amount of stress is worth it. pera lang yan. trabaho lang yan. aanhin mo ang payroll kung patay ka na o nasa coma ka? morbid thought, but it's a good reality check nonetheless.

project 365

i know im a bit late. i'll play catch up. this is one of the things i'll do this year. wala lang pong kokontra. hahaah! wish me luck!******Project 365: How to Take a Photo a Day and See Your Life in a Whole New Way

People will often say that their whole lives flashed before their eyes after they experienced a traumatic event. Perhaps it’s a bit morbid, but we think that sounds pretty incredible.

When Taylor McKnight started taking a photo a day on January 1st, 2004, he never imagined the project would not only serve as a way to remember a year, but also help him understand what was important to him in his life.

Whether it was his relationships, his career, or his fashion sense, recording a photo a day for a whole year left him with a rich visual history of his life. And it made him a better photographer to boot!

Now that he’s in the middle of doing it for a second time, we asked Taylor to write about it for us. Read on for our tutorial on how and why to create your own daily photographic history.

WHY DO IT?

Taking a photo a day is a big undertaking with big payoffs. Here are just a few reasons why you should consider doing it:

• Imagine being able to look back at any day of your year and recall what you did, who you met, what you learned… (Often we find it hard to remember what we did just yesterday or even last night, let alone a whole year ago!)

• Your year-long photo album will be an amazing way to document your travels and accomplishments, your haircuts and relationships. Time moves surprisingly fast.

• Taking a photo a day will make you a better photographer. Using your camera every day will help you learn its limits. You will get better at composing your shots, you’ll start to care about lighting, and you’ll become more creative with your photography when you’re forced to come up with something new every single day.

TIPS ON HOW TO DO IT

Here are six tips on how to create your own Project 365:

1. Bring Your Camera Everywhere
   Yes, everywhere. Get in the habit. Grocery stores, restaurants, parties, work, and school. Going to a movie theatre? Snap a pic of the flick with your phone–there are photo-ops everywhere. If you have one of those tiny tiny cameras, you have no excuse not to have it in your pocket all the time. And if you don’t? Camera phones are a great substitute.

2. Make Posting Easy
   You can install blog software like Movable Type or Wordpress on your own site and create an entry for each photo, but for true ease of use, try a photo sharing site. Flickr will let you post a week’s worth of photos in 2 minutes flat, and fotolog and Photoblog.com are geared toward a photo-a-day workflow. Making it fast and easy means you’re much more likely to do it.

3. Vary Your Themes
   Try to capture the day’s events in a single photo. Perform photographic experiments. Take a photo of someone new you meet, something you ate for the first time, or something you just learned how to do. Take a photo of something that made you smile. And don’t forget to take a photo of yourself at least once a month so you can remember how you’ve changed, too.

4. Tell a Story
   Use your blog entry, or your photo description, to explain what’s going on in each day’s photograph. How good did that dinner taste? What made you want to take a photo of that stranger? It’ll help you remember down the road, and it gives friends following along a better appreciation of why you took the photo you did. You don’t need to write a lot, just enough to add some color.

5. Don’t Stop, No Matter What
   This is perhaps the most important tip of all. You will get tired of taking a photo every single day. Some days, you will consider giving up. Don’t. The end result is worth the effort. Remind yourself why you wanted to do it in first place.

   There will be times you’ll think there’s nothing interesting left to take a photo of, and times you’ll think you didn’t do anything exciting enough to take a photo of. There’s always a great photo to be made.

   Get out of the house and take a walk. Or stay inside and look around. Take a photo of something important to you. Take a photo of the inside of your house so you can see how your taste has changed over the years. Take a photo of anything, just don’t stop.

   N.b. It helps if you’ve told your friends about the project and asked them to follow along. Their encouragement will keep you going!

6. Post early, post often
   Plan on going through and posting your photos at least once a week so you don’t get backlogged and feel overwhelmed. Ideally, post every day or two. Again, spend the time up front to make sure it’s quick and easy to post. It’ll make all the difference.

will update on the christmas loot soon. =)

why do you hurt me so

i was able to hack the 1st 3 episodes of the 5th season. i wont spoil anything, after the 1st episode, im hurting. it was so sad. i wanted to eat a pint of ice cream. T_T.
i love what house's shirt says "hope is for sissies". i am one of them sissies. hehehe.

Thanks to a Japanese scientist's invention of synthetic blood, vampires have progressed from legendary monsters to fellow citizens overnight. And while humans have been safely removed from the menu, many remain apprehensive about these creatures "coming out of the coffin." Religious leaders and government officials around the world have chosen their sides, but in the small Louisiana town of Bon Temps, the jury is still out.
Local waitress Sookie Stackhouse (Anna Paquin), however, knows how it feels to be an outcast. "Cursed" with the ability to listen in on people's thoughts, she's also open-minded about the integration of vampires — particularly when it comes to Bill Compton (Stephen Moyer), a handsome 173-year-old living up the road. But as Sookie is drawn into a series of mysteries surrounding Bill's arrival in Bon Temps, that tolerance will be put to the test.
A sexy, scary new drama from 'Six Feet Under' creator Alan Ball, 'True Blood' delves into the meticulously-crafted world of novelist Charlaine Harris. Described by the Emmy®-winning Ball as "popcorn for smart people" and featuring a colorful cast of local misfits, 'True Blood' promises an intense ride.

ohh. i want.
bring on the blood.
i think i'd take this rather than twilight. sorry. high school vampires dont appeal to me much, since i grew up reading anne rice.

everybody lies

i just love house. i cant wait to watch season 5. hee. guilty pleasure talaga.

sabi nga "I don't like working very much. I'm the most unambitious person ever. I'm so happy; I have nothing to prove." Loving House is given; loving Wilson is human.

It will not be the Sherlock Holmes on film many remember - the suave Basil Rathbone to the bumbling Nigel Bruce - but a new big budget action movie will be faithful to Arthur Conan Doyle's original stories, its director Guy Ritchie said yesterday.
Shooting is about to begin in London on the Warner Bros movie with Robert Downey Jr taking the lead alongside Jude Law, now confirmed as Dr Watson. Kelly Reilly will play Watson's love interest, Mary, Rachel McAdams has signed on to play the traditional object of Holmes' affections, Irene Adler, while Mark Strong is Blackwood, the "unremittingly evil" baddie.
Yesterday those involved gathered in London's Freemason's Hall - where scenes will also be shot - to talk about the movie, one of two rival planned productions. The other will be a comedy with Sacha Baron Cohen and Will Ferrell. Ritchie's film, to be released in 2010, will be based on an original comic book currently being penned by Sherlock Holmes producer Lionel Wigram.
Ritchie said he was a huge fan of the stories. "I really knew Sherlock Holmes from tape - I wasn't a very good reader - and what I had imagined in my mind was not exactly what I'd seen previously on film."
He added: "We're trying to be as authentic as we can to the original Sherlock Holmes. We've tried to include a bit more Conan Doyle in it."
Ritchie, who has had the most success with cockney gangster movies (Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and RocknRolla) said the new movie, his biggest to date, would not be "a traditional Guy Ritchie thing."
Downey Jnr said his received pronunciation was just fine and that he would be drawing on his experiences filming Chaplin, for which he was nominated for an Oscar, to create a believably British character. His Holmes, he said, would focus less on the repressed English side of Sir Arthur Conan Doyle's character, and more on his status as "a bohemian" and "a patriot". He went on to admit the character was "just such a weirdo." He added: "as a matter of fact Mrs Downey said that if you read the description of the guy - quirky and nuts - it could be a description of me on some days."
He also said the film was a fresh take on Holmes which was "kind of returning to a little bit more of what the stories always had in them and the scale of them and the canvas is so huge I just don't think they've ever had the budget to fully tell the story in a really big, fun way."
The actor, now a proper action movie lead after the success of Iron Man, joked that he was "clearly going to do it better" than anyone before him. He said he was not that familiar with Sherlock Holmes before accepting the part. "The more I read about him, the more overwhelmed I was by the weight of it and the amount of people who will be watching to see if it's gotten right."
There will be plenty of fighting (Holmes was adept at bare knuckle boxing and an unusual form of jujitsu) and the film will explore the "co-dependency" and genuine love between Holmes and Watson. The only reticence yesterday was over what Holmes will wear - the deerstalker is out but lips are sealed about what is in.

oh, this is not about you, hija. really. dont ever think that you are better than me. hmm... should i say your power expires when the sun comes down and esp on sundays and when i just decided to be "sick". good thing i, despite all this, i have people who love me like m and c. yes, i have her you dont. you can always pretend that you are better than me just because of the rank, but, no matter how hard you pretend, you know that you owe me. if not for me, you will still be broke and wallowing on your mistakes. but i never used the rank card like you did. no. even if you treated me like trash, you worthless primitive, I acted civilized and professional towards you. because if i didn't, oh, you'd be well on your way home, looking for a sorry excuse of a job and i will be laughing. but i'm nothing like you. i never believed in putting career before friendship. not like you. "NOT. LIKE YOU. ---and Thank God!
i used to consider you as a friend, but after how you treated me, you are now just a big joke to me.
