Birthday hoopla

Ella had her birthday bash around two weekends ago. It was a two-part celebration, first with her barkada and second with her family. We pigged out at Brazil Brazil. Darn, I couldn't control myself on the tenderloins ;) Here are some pics (taken with my Fisheye camera):

Finally...

2006 is ending soon. It's time to bid farewell to the year that has passed. It's been a roller coaster ride. I've made new friends, as well as enemies.

But it's time to move on.

The end of this year also marks the end of my stint in DLSU.

No regrets.

Just hopes.

Happy anniversary!!!

Wow, I never realized I've been blogging for a year already.
I can't believe I made it this long. *sniff sniff*

Goodbye... Hello!

Last week I bid farewell to my iPod...

and said hello to my new iPod video!!!

Well, technically it's not new. But hey, at least I got it for only 11k.

Woohoo!!!

What The Duck

Here's a cool site for photography enthusiasts:

What The Duck

It's like Dilbert for photographers. Here are some sample strips (click on image to enlarge):

School for Scoundrels

Ella and I watched this movie yesterday. It stars Jon Heder (Napoleon Dynamite, Benchwarmers) and Billy Bob Thornton.

It's funny, but not as hilarious as Jack Black or Adam Sandler movies. Oh, and speaking of Jack Black, Tenacious D (duo with Kyle Gass) is coming out with their first movie: The Pick of Destiny. I'm hoping it would be as hilarious as Nacho Libre ;)

The Social Music Revolution

If you like listening to music a lot, you should check out this site:

Last.FM

It's basically an internet radio site. But the bonus is that it has cool features that you can use. The songs are listed with tags, so you can search for keywords or specify an artist that you like, and it'll play songs similar to what you indicated. You can also create your own profile and share your music preferences with others. It's like Friendster for music lovers. The downside is that the volume of the songs are not leveled, so you'd have to adjust your speakers once in a while. Nevertheless, it's probably better than listening to Yahoo or MSN.

Getting rusty

Darn, I think I'm getting rusty at this blogging thing. It takes me a month to post new stuff. Oh well...

It was my birthday 2 months ago, hehehe. Ella and I (together with my mom, sis, and 2 aunts) went to Tagaytay to have lunch at FireLake Grill in Tagaytay. Here are some pics from my Fisheye camera:





Then last October 7, we went to the closing party of our LomoLove exhibit at Cubao-X. I met Fozzy, one of the new members of our group. It was funny because she happened to be Ella's batchmate in Miriam. What was more surprising was that her boyfriend was my batchmate in LSM. Small world eh? Here are more pics:





I've been deep into Dynasty mode with NBA Live 07. Out of probably 7 seasons, I've managed to win around 3 championships. I used the Fantasy Draft and got Tyson Chandler, Emeka Okafor, and Chris Paul as my star players. I managed to pick LeBron James during the first season but didn't manage to re-sign him after, hehehe. Recently, I've read some reviews that NBA 2K7 is better, so I might just try it out. And I think Smackdown Vs. Raw 2007 is also out, so I guess I'll be spending more time with my PS2 again ;)

In the past weeks, I've also managed to stack-up my music collection again. I was able to buy greatest hits albums of the following: 311, Everclear, Better than Ezra, Bon Jovi, Black Crowes, Counting Crows, Roxette, Offspring, Pantera, Lighthouse Family, The Chemical Brothers, Daft Punk, Bond, Linkin Park, Barenaked Ladies, Boyz II Men, Alanis Morissete, Brand New Heavies, and the Prodigy. My iPod's happy again =)

Oh, and I'd like to welcome Eyen back to the blogging world! hehehe

World Wide Suicide

I've recently managed to buy some CDs at UM:

1. Pearl Jam (Pearl Jam)
2. Silence (Slapshock)
3. Continuum (John Mayer)
4. Every Man For Himself (Hoobastank)



Of the four albums, the ones draining my iPod are Pearl Jam and Silence. I'm eyeing to buy the latest album of The Dawn next. They've released a 20th Anniversary compilation of re-recorded (not remastered) hits with Buddy Zabala on bass. I'm not sure though how much it costs since it's a double CD set.

Oh, and I've also started playing NBA LIVE 07. Honestly speaking, the 06 version is much better. They've removed some of the camera views and changed some of the controls. The playing experience isn't as realistic as 06. But since I play Dynasty Mode, I don't really care much about these, hehehe.
