And... whoala! The rain is gone

I'm not sure if this is just a coincidence but have you noticed how the rain would suddenly stop once the LGU or DepEd suspends the classes? Can you see a solution how we can dictate the natural course of events in this case? Hehehe. But seriously, it really is happening in the past few days. There would be a heavy rain... classes will be suspended... and as if it is a cue for the rain, it will suddenly or sometimes gradually stop raining. Hehehe.

Oh well, I'm just so glad the rain stopped already.

Have a great week ahead, everyone!

On happiness

Sharing a short story from somewhere:

When I was 5 years old, my mom always told that happiness was the key to life. When I went to school, they asked me what I want to be when I grew up. I wrote down "happy." They told me I didn't understand the assignment... I told them they didn't understand life.

One of these days, I'm going to wake up and say:

"I don't want anything more."

Happy weekend everyone!

Tag-ulan

My mom just called and told me it's raining hard in the province. It's also raining here as of this writing. A friend of mine somewhere north of Manila also told me it's been raining there all day. Tag-ulan na yata talaga. :-) I only wish the heavy rains won't continue for so long. I still am afraid of the possible consequences prolonged heavy rains....

Stay safe everyone.

PS: If you are looking for possible gifts for nana or anyone in the family, a poncho or a simple umbrella would definitely be a good choice.

On being a student once again

Here's a shameless plug for the institution where I learned a lot of stuff since last year, the Philippine Center for Creative Imaging (or PCCI). I and some of my colleagues at work attended two sessions last year and we were not disappointed. I'm taking Corporate Video Production for the next three days starting this Monday.


If you guys are wondering if they have classes on fleet management or similar stuff, the answer is no. Hehehe. The center offers classes on Photography, Digital Imaging & Painting, Illustration & Desktop Publishing, Web & Interaction Design, Digital Video Production, 3D Animation, and Mac Basics. I intend to attend another course by October.


Visit their site. They offer a wide variety of trainings and seminars. You might just find an interesting one for you.

Rain, rain, go away

I took my CPU with me here in Manila because I need to work on some editing gigs which my laptop cannot process. Halfway from our home to the waiting shed, the rain came. Holy effin S. I cannot afford to lose the data in my CPU -- and there's no immediate shelter from where I am. And luckily, a tricycle passed by and offered a ride. The driver took out some fly sheets of sort and used it to cover the passenger side so I won't get wet by the heavy rain.

It worked.

I am just so happy then. But now, I am worried because my mom and sis are alone in our house. I just feel bad that I am not with them at the moment. I really hope the rain would stop now.

Happy weekend everyone!

A piece of heaven

A while ago, I was looking for some stunning birthstone gifts for December birthdays -- I mean, it's almost August. And before you know it, it will be September already, then, December. Might as well start now. Unfortunately. I wasn't able to find any as of now.

But luckily, this search brought me to Mang Inasal! And you know what I found there? Heaven... or at least a piece of it

Puto & dinuguan at P49... If this is not heaven, I don't know what is.

You don't believe me? Try it for yourself. :-)
