Yup, i'm experementing! plus the fack that commodities here is much cheaper than in manila. for tonight, i'll be cooking sinigang sa miso.

gifts, gifts and more gifts!

so what did you get this christmas? as for me i got a cap, DVD(a date with ted hamilton), pillow, scented candle, starbucks mug (my favorite), desk lamp, cookies, and a lava lamp. it really pays off when you are good to people. I'm still waiting for my two kumpare's to give me a domain name and 6 months web hosting...tehehehehe

photo gadget

i'm quite engrossed with my new found toy (canon ixus 30) right now. I've been taking shots of almost anything that interest me, officemates, food, objects, flowers etc. And i'm still trying to figure out some of the settings particularly the exposure and iso speed though i still don't get it..tehehehe.

Anyway, i found a tool that can help you resize your pictures in an instant without using any photo editor.As you can see i'm using Large format (2048 x 1536)in taking my pictures so it's space consuming once you started saving it. the average size of 1 picture is around 1.5 MB. This tool that i'm referring to is photo gadget ,s a free tool designed to eliminate the use of complicated and expensive software in such a simple task as resizing pictures. Its purpose is to make the process of resizing many pictures at once incredibly easy.

Try IT!

Digital Christmas Gift

Bought 2 digital camera last weekend, one for my bro and one for me. Electroworld and camerahaus offered a Zero percent installment plan on all major cards. my brother purchased the Canon powershot A410 which he plans to used to his bar or "pancitan" and as for me i got the Canon Ixus 30. I should have bought Canon Ixus 30 two months ago but my lil brother asked for a TV for his birthday. The whole weekend we spent familiarizing ourselves with our new found toy, and hopefully it can be a profitable hobby. we also plan to come up with our own photo blog. Since i'm a big fan of digital macro, our first lesson was macro and close-up shots. And i'm quite satisfied with the results. We already have 3 pictures printed and one of which is displayed in my pad.

Early Christmas Gift

an officemate of mine offered me a pitbull and the best thing about it is that it has a cage, papers and shots --complete package ...Isn't that great! an early christmas gift! The only major problem i have right now is that dogs are not allowed in my Pad. Too bad :( But the good thing is, another officemate offered his place since he's also getting the same gift. hehehe, i'm very much blessed with generous officemates.. I already have a name for the dog, it's "kiba".Taken from one of the characters in Naruto anime. Now i'm really decided to move-out next year and look for another apartment.

Pag-ibig Overseas Program

Lately i've been asking our HR about info's on how to apply for a housing loan and how much i can avail. My boss also told me that if i'm going to buy a house it is more economical to buy those repossessed house & Lot from the banks rather acquiring a house from realtors. But first things first, I need to get a loan from Pag-big. While browsing the pag-ibig website i bumped into this Pag-ibig Overseas Progra. . The Pag-IBIG Overseas Program was launched to give Overseas Filipinos the opportunity to save for their future and at the same time giving them the chance to avail of a housing loan as much as P500,000 with interest rates ranging from 9%-17% per annum depending on the load amount. This is great news for people who have family members working abroad. Now, why i haven't think about this before, my mom is in canada for 4 years now. If only i have known this earlier we could have our own house now.

Weekend getaway at Miramonte

If you are looking for a private place to celebrate any occasion or a weekend getawy i would recommend Miramonte Subdivision at Pansol, Laguna. You see Miramonte Subdivision has the most private pools in pansol--as far as i know. If you are familiar with Pansol, Laguna it's right infront of Montevista Resort. Last night, my office friend celebrated his birthday at Bernadette's resort. I think it cost him 4K for the whole 12 hours. So what are the amenities. 2 swimming pools (1 kiddie and 1 adult), 2 bedrooms with aircon, 2TB, veranda, garage , dining area and kitchen. and for additional 500 pesos you can also rent a videoke machine. We had a blast singing since most of the new songs are there like PBB theme song, Sugarfree, hale, etc. aahh, what a great way to relax... Now if you happen to plan a small gathering try to check this place.
