Yves turned thirty today, and she threw a celebration at her condo’s function hall. Aside from being her makeup artist, I was also in charge of the program, making the audio-visual presentations, and being one of two hosts. I made two videos using iMovie. The first one is a compilation of pictures from Yves’s childhood […]
Facebook Overload
I read this article about Facebook Addiction. It says that psychologists are now probing a new kind of addiction called Facebook Addiction Disorder (FAD). Psychologist Dr. Michael Fenichel, who has published numerous writings on FAD online, describes it as a situation in which Facebook usage “overtakes” daily activities like waking up, getting dressed, using the […]
Best Filipino Food in Singapore
Years ago, if someone asked me what my favorite cuisine was, I’d reply that I wasn’t sure, maybe Italian or Chinese and that Mexican food ain’t bad, too. That was before I left my country. Now, when someone asks me what my favorite cuisine is, my answer is a resounding “Filipino food!” Thank goodness we […]
Le-CHI Flan
Chi is getting married next year and is increasingly getting worried about domestic life like the pain of childbirth and how she doesn’t know how to cook. A couple of weeks ago, I offered to teach her how to cook sinigang. But when she saw how uncertain I was at the start, she feared that […]
Make Up Artist Me
Last Sunday, Yves was going to have her second batch pictorial for her 30th birthday and asked if I could do her makeup. Not sure why she thought I’d make a good makeup artist. I told Yves that I had never put makeup on other people before, but I realized that wasn’t true. There was […]
Mac Tools for Videomakers
I am loving the YouTube grabber for Mac. As the name implies, you can use it to grab YouTube videos and download it on your computer. It gets download as an FLV file, but you can use the same software to convert the file to MOV or MP4. I am also loving the iextractmp3 which […]
Time to Save the Environment
Gelle and I went grocery-shopping in AMK hub’s Fair Price yesterday and bought some strawberries for S$3 apiece. Not the food. They unfolded from this: …to this: They are shopping bags that you can use in lieu of plastic. It’s a fashionable and convenient way of helping to save the environment. The bag has a […]
More Than Just Eye Candied Apple
While I love Alexe, my macbook, I have to admit that I do have some issues with being a Mac owner, since I’ve been a PC user ever since I became computer-literate and have never even touched a Mac before I bought her. I have had to adjust a lot. Like on my keyboard, the […]
I Had Always Been
When people ask me why I keep a blog, I tell them that my #1 reason for doing so is to preserve my memories. See, the memory can be a tricky thing in that it can be selective in what it retains in its archives. But if I write it down while the moment is […]
30 Going on 13
Tatsie watched the movie 13 Going on 30 tonight. I’ve always loved that movie. It’s a funny, feel-good romance with a good “moral lesson” and Jennifer plays such a convincing 13-year-old trapped in a 30-year-old’s body. Here is the complete synopsis of the movie (I’m too lazy to write my own right now). Jenna was […]
