Stretching from the gate to the front of the main house in Gen San is an extensive driveway. Family members and guests alike get off from their cars on a covered walkway, held up by classic white pillars. The walkway leads to the front door.

The wide front yard provides more than enough room for a landscaped garden. It features a fountain and a koi pond.

Ba-lik sa Bohol, Ba-lik! (Ba-lik! Ba-lik!)

meekes — Fri, 26 Feb 2010 16:59:51 +0000

I have a severe case of “Last Song Syndrome”. The song “Balik sa Bohol” kept on playing in my mind from the first time I’ve heard it at the very scenic Loboc river up to the departure area of Tagbilaran airport.And just like the song, images of the scenic Bohol also kept on flashing in my head as I relish the moments I was there.

Belgium: Europe’s Place to .Be

meekes — Sat, 23 Jan 2010 10:03:17 +0000

I recently got back from a client support assignment in Belgium for 3 months. The first time I learned I was going to Belgium, I really had no idea what was instore for me for 3 months in that country. The only thing that popped out of my mind when Belgium is mentioned is the picture of Miss Belgium, who became a crowd favorite when the Miss Universe was held in the Philippines in 1994. ( I was in high school then and yes I admit, I had one of those wallet size picture of Miss Belgium being sold on the sidewalks before….hehehehe). I said to myself, if that’s Miss Belgium, well then Belgium here I come!

But there’s more to Belgium that’s just as interesting as Miss Belgium herself.

Frankencamera

Interesting concept for camera. Using off the shelf components, researchers have built an open source camera where anyone can program the features of the camera like doing automatic HDR photography, activate a certain setting when a particular lens is attached or making high quality video using high-resolution pictures.

Here are some photos I took of the 2009 Cheese Rolling Festival in Whistler. It was a fun event, you see people running downhill trying to win a block of cheese. Whoever goes downhill first wins the cheese that was rolled downhill. The cheese of course is wrapped.

Photo Editing Software

mjolnir — Wed, 02 Sep 2009 20:55:21 +0000

I use Adobe Photoshop for my photo editing. Adobe Photoshop is a wonderful tool for Photographers, but I really only use about 1% of what Photoshop can do. You don’t need Adobe Photoshop to do the photo editing I do, you can use other photo editing softwares like Corel Paint Shop Pro Photo X2, Adobe Lightroom for the PC or Apple Aperture 2 if you use a Mac.
