Wah Happen?

So yeah, I had to change my Plurk layout from this [which I love because of the colors *sad*]:

To this [which is by the way from here]:

Since the Photobucket of my previous provider seems to be in haywire. Check it out here. My new Plurk layout makes me want to travel.

Anyway, I gotta rush. Time for work work work.... *sigh*

If Nick Can...

Well, it's my one day off and I start by spending it online. Oh the geek in me.

Anyhow, it's always been my thing to look after myself and others. I don't like getting hurt [who does? Masochists not counted]. Hence, once upon a time I kept myself in a fortress of steel [not literally, but that would be cool though.] The internet has been quite a friend really, you find people who you can relate with and you find things that inspire you, push you to go further , a place where you can step back and look at things for a second before diving into the chaos again. I like it when I stumble into such things online.

My life is not a bed of roses [I don't think I want it to be either. Variety is nice]. As with every other human being, I tend to think my problems are larger than life. I tend to be ego centric. I tend to be ... human. I always will need another perspective, and I know that. It's actually why I like meeting people of substance, experience and those that are will to teach and learn. They give me another point of view, another perspective which more or less nearly always leads to good.

I stumbled upon Mr. Vujicic. He's amazing. Don't take my word for it, take a look for yourself:

So right now, I'm thinking,: If Nick can, I can. 

Reading Teh Interwebs

I stayed up all night and read blogs that were bookmarked on my Chrome. I can definitely say I've missed a lot. I think my friends have a whole new life now, I seriously need some catching up time. [Note to self: Reach out and let the world know you are still alive.]

A few things I discovered during my blog hopping:

1. I've removed ALL-NEW MATH from my blog roll since Craig had already stopped the blog. Good Luck on the project. Thanks for helping quantify Life. Reader, if you have time, it would be good for you to check it out before it completely goes off the web.
2. While reading through Tumblr, I stumbled upon this. And I couldn't agree more. As much as possible, less post processing the better IMO.
3. It's nearly done, so I guess I should get reading on The Top 1000 Awesome Things.
4. The Zelda Project (whose link I also added to the blog roll) was brought to my attention by one of the people (my favorite cosplayer) I follow on DeviantArt. It's 3/3 combo for me. It has great photography, great cosplay and old school gaming. This project is definitely worth supporting. Oh how I wish I was there to help.
5. Kung may Tunay na Lalaki, may Tunay na Chicks. And my favorite so far: "Ang tunay na chicks, kayang magre-format ng PC."
6.  Lastly, I am still at awe at how people come up with Art and more over great ideas.  I stumbled upon Eli Klein. The works produced are amazing. I hope by some weird chance I get to meet him some day.

Alright, so that's it for tonight. I wish you all a good day ahead. This vampire will now hit the hay. Check out those links while I nap.

Taking a First Step with The 39 Steps

Yay, I was able to catch my first play in a really long time awhile ago. It felt so good to be back in a theater with Actors and Actresses on stage.

I caught The 39 Steps at the Greenbelt Mall 1. It was presented by Repertory Philippines. Kudos to the cast of four that played 150 characters. I loved the audience interaction as well. *applause*

I love the theater. I like thinking I grew up with it. Starting elementary where I played minor parts and watched plays produced by Brent Baguio until High School where I had a chance to write a script, direct it and play one of the lead characters just before I graduated. [No, we were not short handed, I was just really immersed in this project. It was my script after all.] Though, primarily, I really am more of a backstage person. Script writer or Director has always been my chair. I know the chaos that goes on in the backstage to come up with a good performance.

My friend, K, really wants to make her way to the stage one day. She'll soon start with lessons and I am so excited for her. I hope everything goes well. My brother recently also sat on the director's chair for Protocol. This is a big step for him, since my brother rarely asserts himself but now I'm really proud of the hard work and dedication that he had for this project. [Thanks, W, for helping my bro with the soldier foot count.]

As for me, I think my role is in the audience now. As much as I miss the back stage work, the pre-opening night work and the medium, I know my place it's not on or back stage. It's right in Lower Orchestra Center. [If they'd allow me, it's with a DSLR too. No flashes promise. I'm good without flash anyhow. *wink*]

Rep Phil is coming up with Peter Pan and since Arckham hasn't seen this yet, I think we'll catch it. Come with?

Hello Pierre!

So yes, I am back. I have done a lot of things over the past three days to have some semblance of a life.

Since, I've been going to work during Sundays in the last few weeks, I was given 3 days off from work to reset my weekends. What I did was pour my heart out into the different accounts that I have in order to revive them.

And thanks to Pierre [my laftaf] and Photoshop Creative Suite 5, we have accomplished the following:

1. Plurk:

2. Twitter:

3. Friendster [*le gasp* Yes, I still have it since I like tinkering with it.]

4. Deviant Art:

5. Arxy:

6. Of Black Clouds and Not Only Silver Linings

It's back to the office tomorrow. Oh well. In the least, lots of things accomplished this weekend.

By the way, DQ already started this, I plan to start now. we both had a deal on twitter to update our blogs at least once a week. So watch out for those posts :-)
