Web 2.0 is not just for the web anymore, it is affecting the “offline” world. We’ve heard all the 2.0′s like Community 2.0, but there is another aspect that is changing – Comments 2.0 and Forums 2.0. The world is going towards – One Web Community.

Before the Nokia N82 (five megapixels), even before the Samsung U700 (three megapixels), I used to carry around the then schmexy Motorola V3X, 2 megapixel snapper of a clamshell-type mobile phone. At times when I would get the urge to just point and shoot at people, the camphone is instrumental in curing the creative itch. The down side is, although the composition would almost always be impeccable (wink wink), the image output leaves much to be desired in terms of colors, depth, and contrast to name a few. Hell, it’s the general problem that plague users of mere point and shoot cameras.

Two years after I took Rochelle’s (my good friend’s) portrait, two years after I’ve tried editing the photo firsthand by only adjusting contrast and hues, would my newfound Photoshop killer skillz do more with an otherwise great photo? Another challenge is would said skillz work with an image taken using a two megapixel camphone? The result may make or break Scott Kelby’s reputation, author of the book The Photoshop CS2® Book for Digital Photographers so I better represent, ho!

Assuming that a person really has the gift of healing, does that mean he is a holy person? 9th Sunday in Ordinary Time

I went to this forum hoping to feel something, to take away something – a renewed fervour. I took away something alright – the feeling that forums like these were meant to provide comfort and hope for discomforting and hopeless times. Read here.

May 28 is National Flag Day, which is when the Philippine flag was raised for the first time in 1898 (in the Battle of Alapan, Imus, Cavite). Beginning this day until June 12, which is our Independence Day, everyone is encouraged to display the Philippine flag in front of our homes, schools, offices, and other places. This period is called National Flag Days.

Here’s an idea: why not wave the National Flag on your blog? Continue reading the whole post…

For two years and running in the company I currently work for, we are required to allot four hours of company time (half of a workday) and four hours of our personal time (either we sacrifice part of a weekend or file a half-day vacation leave during a workweek) to extend help to the underprivileged. Last year, 99% of our total company headcount (of about 800) went in groups to various Gawad Kalinga communities around the country to teach children in their makeshift schools. This year, for want to explore other areas where our help may be equally needed, it’s going to be either CRIBS Philippines or Kythe Foundation.

It is one thing to be willing to help and another to have the heart to want to deliver the “service” well. I have long realized that I’m not cut as a teacher because I have very little patience around kids in that I easily get annoyed when they randomly move about, cry for no apparent reason, and, most especially, they take on a particular smell after being active all day. And they can’t talk LOLCAT. And they’re needy, clingy, and immature (hmmm, this sounds soooo familiar. TOO familiar. *strokes Photoshoped beard on avatar. OH! I was describing an adult, sry.). In a nutshell, if you know you’re not cut for teaching, do other things to make yourself more useful like contribute food, prepare the snack area, coordinate with the agencies, clean the site’s perimeter, or re-paint the school’s existing mural (only when they ask you to). Doing so will do the kids a big favor.

Notice I used “probably” in the title instead of “surely”? Well that’s because there’s a slight chance that I’ll marry someone who will totally be OK with my brilliant ideas like pizza for breakfast everyday. Lots of crazy chicks running around these days.

A few days ago, a discussion was started on Twitter about baby names. I’d like to link to the relevant tweets, but I’m lazy. Yay me! Besides, you’d be lucky to read those tweets because Twitter’s being a douche these days. Anyway, that discussion reminded me of one baby name that I really loved ever since high school. “Scarlett”. I don’t know, there’s something about that name that evokes strength and femininity. But I stopped loving it when Scarlett Johansson became a prominent fixture in Hollywood. Just think about it. If I name my future daughter “Scarlett”, the first thing that will come to mind whenever I say her name is this:

That would be totally weird. So I’m thinking maybe it’s time I think of new baby names that I’ll try to give my future kids and will probably be rejected by my future wife who will totally be a pain in my future ass. Here’s what I came up with:

I’ve had a great long weekend. I know it’s not a long weekend for most people, but for me it’s feeling mostly like vacations these days. Soon it will be over as I’ll be going back to school and hitting the books, juggling my sched to complement my mom’s so someone can watch Mina, and taking care of a daily to-do list that seems to keep longer everyday.

But that’s ok, because I’ve had so many fun things to do to pass my time, and more to look forward to.

First, I got to meet up with Jet and Jay last Thursday. I am not the most social of butterflies, ok? But hanging out with these two felt like hanging out with old friends. Which is true in a sense. We’ve been berks buddies for years now, just that we’ve never met in the flesh. Jet and I go even further back, commenting on each other’s blogs since I first started. Needless to say, I had a blast! Mina did too, who wouldn’t with such an adoring couple. She even sneaked Jay’s pair of sunglasses just so we’d have an excuse to meet up again…

Yes folks!  I have been scammed!  DiceAd.Com no longer works.  All of a sudden, their website just ceased to exist.  Good thing I keep track of my PTC sites (I only had two).  And thanks to PinoyRak, I was able to get updates on the sites he’s actually tried out.  He was the one who wrote about the problem with DiceAd.Com.

The pictures below constitute my priceless collection of images of erstwhile shelter cats and dogs that have been lucky enough to get new chances at a better life. I dedicate them to all the volunteers, adopters, bloggers and everyone who spend a portion of their lives helping defenseless animals victimized by cruelty, neglect and indifference. I dedicate this post to all animals in shelters everywhere still waiting.

Do you recognize these fellas?

Truthfully, I am not an avid fan of Chinese cuisine. I cannot say it enough that my taste buds are tired of sesame oil, oyster sauce and soy sauce. But I live in a country where Chinese food is as staple as rice. But once in a while I chance upon a place that serves great tasting Chinese dishes. And I am a hypocrite if I do not admit that of all Chinese edible creations, dimsum is the best. It is also the easiest to imitate. Imagine all the stalls that sell siopao, siomai, sharks fin in all shapes and sizes.
