You Suck At Photoshop Tutorials

I have another loaded weekend in my hand, but I guess I have time for this one.

If you suck at Photoshop (like I do), these videos could be very informative (and funny as well). I have only watched the first two, and it seems like this guy has a lot of issues. But hey, at least I'm learning Photoshop.

I've posted the first video above, you can check out the rest of the series here and here.

Oh, and thanks to DSLRBlog for this (originally posted here).

A Year Of Blogging (And Our Sunday Adventure)

Time flies so fast. It's been a year already since I started this blog. It all began with this post, and during that time I never really knew if I could sustain this blog.

Well, I guess the more than a hundred posts from the past year is already a personal milestone. Now all I need to do is promote this blog more.

Last Sunday was a good day for me and Roxanne. It was our first time to have mass at Santuario de San Antonio in Makati, and it was Roxanne's first visit to the American War Memorial.

You can see the rest of the pictures here. For the first time, I enjoyed using flash in taking photos, and now I'm more convinced that I should invest in a dedicated flash gun.

News: Intel Confirms Closure Of Cavite Plant

Intel Confirms Closure of Cavite Plant
Posted using ShareThis

This is so sad, and probably a visible effect of the global financial crisis here in the Philippines. Back in college, I really wanted to work for Intel. I was even fortunate enough to visit their previous plant in Makati. I guess Cavite is just too far away for me to consider working for them after graduation, even though I've heard many good stories from people employed there.

I wish the best for those affected by this closure.

Confused

I'm confused right now if I made the right choice. I was offered a way to make more money next week (legit), but turned it down because of work. Taking a leave of absence wouldn't have been a problem, but we have a busy week ahead and I can't just leave my team behind.

This is just something that I want to get off my chest. I hope this kind of opportunity would pop-up again, and hopefully I'll be ready for that one.

Eraserheads: The Final Set

Yes!!! It's still in March, but I'm already excited. So excited that we already have tickets, seven silver ones. The first one was awesome (even though it ended abruptly), and I sure bet this one would be just as great.

Oh my, the Eraserheads fever is on again!

On Cats And Jorel

Another cat related post (see my first one here). Last Saturday, I just realized that our garage has been empty for weeks (dad sold his car last year), so it was the perfect chance for me to take pictures of our cats again. Apparently, it's down to just five felines. Not sure if that figure will change in the near future, only time will tell (the most we had was around 14).

You can check some more pictures here. I used my telephoto lens for all of my shots.

Me, Beth, Ferdie, Jeannee, and Jorel. Circa 2003.

Although I wasn't feeling too good last Saturday, the day ended well when I had the chance to hang out with my good friend Jorel. He was one of my first friends in Unionbank, as well as the other guys in the picture above. He left for Dubai around two (or is it three) years ago, and is here on vacation (he leaves again tomorrow).

Thanks to Bobby for tagging me along on this one. It's these guys that made my stay at the branch fun, even with the ridiculous work load.

By the way, Jorel has a cat similar to Mimo (which I think is a Siamese cat). Just want to mention that one.

Don Bosco At Night

I'm not feeling so good right now. It's a long story. But I'll post these pictures anyway, blogging might ease this bad vibe that I have.

These were taken last night at a terrace overlooking the football field at Don Bosco in Makati. This is another one of those "random photography moments", where having a camera at your disposal becomes handy. It was quite dark, so I didn't really expect this kind of output.

Now why was I there last night? Maybe I'll tell you guys some other time. Some more pictures are posted here.
