Manila Design Week 2009

I just came from Manila Design Week the other day, August 8. It was a showcase of graphic designs in different forms. It paved way for artists to meet fellow graphic artists from different media. I was able to see unbelievable artists in action! I tugged my friends along to Bonifacio High Street which was actually my first time. Talk about dragging your friends to an unfamiliar place. Nonetheless I enjoyed the event, I was not able to get freebies for I was too busy taking pictures of the event. I was actually hoping this event can bring my creative juice back. I used to do illustrations and paintings before, but all the work that I’ve been doing somewhat deteriorated those skills. Bonifacio came as a nice surprise for me, the last time I went to Bonifacio Global was during the MTV Summit some 3 years ago. I love the store that features designer toys! I wish I have the time to visit the week long event and visit its other locations. At least I was able to have a taste of this highly anticipated event, well for someone like me.

Here are the other photos that I’ve taken from the event:

Feel free to share you comments on this event!

Gotta sleep!

I badly need to sleep already. I’m excited for my schedule tomorrow. I hope it will all push through as planned. I’m excited to see the Manila Design Week at the Bonifacio High Street. I asked my friends to accompany me. I hope the weather would cooperate. I am also excited to see the Mega Comic Con at the Mega Trade Hall. Growing up, I used to collect Marvel and DC comics until our old place got flooded. The flood destroyed a lot of my treasured comics and magazines that I’ve amassed over the years. I stopped collecting since then, to avoid uber disappointments again. I hope the event organizers would let me bring my camera inside.

The photo above is my niece – Anika. One of the random pictures that I took here in our house.

Go Joe!

I just saw G.I. Joe earlier at SM with my movie buddies. The movie contains a lot action scenes that will surely keep its audience on the edge of their seats. The movie is quite far from how it was depicted in its cartoon and comic installations but it was fun! Can’t help but get amazed with the effects! It was too futuristic according to my friends but I’m not complaining. I won’t go into details yet for I don’t want to be a spoiler. But I would say its worth the money. I really wanted to be a ninja when I was a kid…LOL! hahaha

My Twitter Account

I can’t seem to find my Twitter username anymore. I’m sad. I had to resort to creating a new account altogether. I was able to read some blogs today and I saw the twitts from one of the blogs.. I totally forgot that I used to have a Twitter account! Too much work can really eat a lot of your healthy brain cells. Lol! And so I decided to check my Twitter.. then there.. a harsh reality.. i forgot my username nor the email address I used to sign up! Waah! I’ve been posting entries again here on my page, the old me used to do this on a regular basis. I have to admit.. I missed it!  I hope everyone’s having better luck than me! Have a blessed evening folks!

I am currently torn between two great gadgets: Palm Treo Pre and Sony Ericsson Xperia. I’ve been reading reviews and forums on these units and I am excited to have either of the two, better yet…both! I’m back to revering gadgets and these new phones caught my attention! I am on the look out for a new phone that has QWERTY ‘pads, wifi, HSDPA, decent camera (at least with autofocus feature) and a great battery life.

Here’s a preview on Sony Xperia:

It’s been a while…

Hello everyone! It’s been a while since I last visited my page. I’ve been busy with my work lately and it has been that way for a good 9 months now. Latest update: I now own a DSLR camera which I am very excited for I can explore more on my passion for photos. Watch out for my new photos in the coming weeks. For those of you who was able to follow my blogs about my niece – Anika, she’s now 11-month a old. We are eagerly preparing for her 1st birthday next month! More photo opportunities for me. Well, its nice to see my page still intact. I will have this page updated in no time! Watch out guys!

Peace,

Chris

Catching up

I just read parts of a book that I borrowed months ago. It was about leadership and I purposedly read it because I’m about to start working again. For some of you, I used to work in a call center here in the south. I have to admit I miss the meeting deadlines, coaching, seeing my officemates and bugging them, reading gazillion mails everyday, taking transfers and of course, patrolling the floor. I was a lead (supervisor) for almost a year and it was one of the most significant part of my stay with that company. Now that I am awaiting a new chapter of my professional career, I am too eager and excited to do the drills again. I am starting this Saturday, November 1. This time the office is much nearer to my place, and its way safer to travel. Wish me luck guys!

The photo posted is my current wallpaper. I took this photo at Greenbelt in Makati. Enhanced it a bit, I used my mobile phone to capture this photo.

Booze-mode

Okay I went home late and I’m having a terrible headache… But I enjoyed every minute of last night’s event. I went to my old neighbor’s place and had a drinking session with my old folks from Santa Rosa. It was my friend’s birthday. I also took this opportunity to visit our old house. We had our usual cranky conversation and talked about our fond memories growing up. I’ve spent 14 years of my life in that community. Our next gathering will be on September 16! Can’t wait!

Insomia-mode again!

Ok its already 3am and I am still up! I can’t sleep again! Been reading reviews and checking on my niece for the past 3 hours and still I’m eyes wide open… I had my initial interview yesterday in Ortigas, I was late for 10mins because of the heavy traffic underneath skyway! During the interview, I was so distracted! The girl who interviewed was so pretty and the outfit that she was wearing will surely distract anyone who sees her. Let’s see if I make it to their list. There’s not that much updates from me today, except for the interview. It was kinda boring. Things are getting routinary again for me. Tomorrow, or should I say later, I need to clean some stuff like our baby’s crib and my room. Cleaning is all I do most of the time. I am not complaining, actually I find it a bit relaxing because I don’t get to think that much when I am doing something like cleaning my room or something. So there, I hope everyone doing better than me! =)

My Niece, Anika Mae

Our baby Anika is already 3-week old this Thursday. She is truly a blessing for us! She has brought immeasurable joy to our family. Me and my brothers, especially Anika’s dad, matured immensely in the past weeks. I have to admit, I am one lazy bastard here in our house, but now I do the laundry and manage the kitchen most of the time! What a big change a little girl can do! I wish that she would grow strong and independent. We can’t wait to see her grow!
