Ozine Fest 2010 came to a conclusion Sunday, April 11, 2010. It was filled with everything anime and animated – from Final Fantasy to Iron Man.

It was fun. It’s been more than 5 years since the last event I’ve attended. Conventions like this shouldn’t be missed.

Aquarela won their first award at the 22nd Awit Awards held at The Arena, San Juan, last Dec 7, 2009. Usahay, a cebuano song composed by Juanito Angos, which is included in their album Changes, won Best World/Alternative/Bossa Award. The song features Miguel Juteau on guitar, Evelyn Juteau on vocals,multi talented Dix Lucero on sax.

Congratulations to Aquarela! Wow!

From wikipedia:

Peter Cullen, born on December 1, 1944 in Montreal, Quebec,[2] is a Canadian voice actor who is best known as the voice of Optimus Prime and Ironhide, in the original Transformers series and the narrator in both American Voltron series (he would subsequently reprise his role as Optimus in Michael Bay’s live-action Transformers film series). In addition, he has played Coran and King Alfor in the Lion Voltron series, the transforming spaceship/robot Ramrod in the 1980s anime series Saber Rider and the Star Sheriffs, Commander James Hawkins in the Vehicle Voltron series, Eeyore in Winnie-the-Pooh, KARR in Knight Rider, Antor and Bomba, and Gunner, in Dino-Riders, and Mantus in The Pirates of Dark Water. In 1968, he appeared as ‘Giles’ with Joan Stuart as ‘Penelope’ in ‘L’Anglaise’, a CBC comedy about a French-Canadian husband with an English-Canadian wife (CBC’s ‘Funny You Should Say That’).

Watch this video and be amazed at how they did the voices in the first Transformers film. I know that Revenge of the Fallen is out, but hey, Transformers it still Transformers!

The long delayed photos of Frequency: Tune in to God’s calling is up. You may see them in the photos section of this site.
Frequency is an inter-church youth music camp held May 26 to 28 in Tagaytay, Philippines.

This is my interview on 702 DZAS AM Radio Station here in the Philippines. I was interviewed about my online business gadgetphilippines.com, the online store for Filipinos looking for the most affordable and the cheapest gadgets in the Philippines. I was interviewed by Pastor Eric Maliwat in their program Oras na Pilipinas.

The interview basically discusses the latest gadgets available in the Philippines and the filipino consumer attitude towards gadget buying in light of the 2009 world economic crisis.

I woke up early for the interview. Forgive me if I sound feminine. It should have been bedroom voice, it turned out to be wrong. Sooo wrong!!! Hahaha!

Some various photos from church events:

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Yet another birthday celebration post.

Happy birthday to us.

The best and the beast: As you can see in the photo above.

Danny Javier of the Apo Hiking Society has invited over at his home just to catch up and spend some time. It was his small way (BIG FOR ME) of treating me for my birthday.

He’s best known for his songs and his group APO, but his artistry also comes forth in his passion for Bonsai trees and landscaping. He has toured me and shared with me his Bonsai collection, how it started, and what makes a good Bonsai.

“The fulfillment is something that money cannot buy” were his words for this craft.

That is a horse, the other one is a tree.

From this angle, I really feel like I’m under the shelter of a tree.

All in all, it was a rather personal time with him. I pray the best of life and more years for Ninong Danny.

*Ninong – godfather

Zea, Jhellai, and Karen are good friends from the office who gave a piece of dark chocolate and stuck a candle to it for me to blow. Aaawww…

Thanks girls!

I also bought myself some presents that day…well, expensive presents rather. It was totally out of the plan, but because you have fellow photography enthusiasts who somehow possess the power to entice you to purchase gadgets beyond your budget, you will be left broke but happy. Aaah, the agony.

GEAR

Bought a Nissin di622 flash, macro extension tubes, camera IR remote, and the Energizer 15 minute charger. Once again, I am broke..but happy.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE

Jannette surprised me when I got home. She arranged a surprise party for me when I got home. Visitors were mostly churchmates. She also arranged for my HS friends to come, but everyone was busy with their respective jobs. Ok lang. It was a weekday anyway. Thanks Jannette! =)

Lo and behold, around the end of evening, Danny Javier (photo from www.apohikingsociety.org) of the APO Hiking Society called me to greet me. He’s my godfather. He invited me over at his home for lunch the following day. I happily agreed. After 15 years, I’ve never been back at his home. This was another surprise. I’ll write a separate post on it.

Thank you Lord for another year. Once again, you’ve proved yourself to be faithful, even when you didn’t have to.
