imovie

I had to send a video greeting for Lola's birthday and my editing tool was the iMovie for MAC. Me being me, did not bother to do the tutorial, but everyone does the same thing (right?).

Made a simple video greeting. But then had to do the trailer maker, which was fun. Here it is.


Too bad we had to scrap this and go for the more traditional video

about time

San Diego's decision to expand it's convention center has been the focus of every years SD Comic-Con. And in the last five years, it's organizers threatened to move to another city unless they expand it's annual site/venue.

Time and time again, the organizers had to device several strategic options to accommodate the ever growing demand for space. It would be disastrous in my part if they move since it would mean spending more on my end to go to Anaheim.

My prayers along with several hundreds or even thousands of San Diegan's prayers have been answered today. Here's a short clip of the proposed expansion plan

Itsy bitsy teeny weeny

 You know those days when you went to the mall just because. I really had no plans in buying anything besides bare essentials.

 Why did I have to go to the electronics clearance section at Target. Maybe it's because that's what I always do? Anyways, there it was. With a red tag. On sale. Calling my name. And only one left.

Canon VS Nikon

 Back to five months ago when me and Anna spotted this little thing. Yes, we already have a bunch of cameras. From SLR's, digicam, our iPhones and even vintage polaroids. But this was different, it's small, handy, can fit on your front jeans pocket and it's white. Gotta have a bunch of reasons of course.

Sony VS Nikon

 Back to present. I took it, put it in the cart and convinced Anna that this was a steal. I think back then it was $120, and now it's $69.99. Not even hitting the $70 mark. The more reason we gotta have it.

 Look how small this thing is.

Just because?

When we bought our Mini. No one approached us immediately to ask if we need anything.

It was a totally different experience when we were at Toyota, Honda, Chrysler and Mazda dealers wherein the moment we pulled down to park, they were on our tails already.


Mini Cooper


With luxury cars, treatment with their clients is some sort of awkward but they also look at you more than a customer. I guess money can be a factor at that. If you don't have it, you're not supposed to be there.

But all these luxury come with perks. Whenever we drop by the dealer. We can have as much Starbucks coffee as we want. Complimentary car washes. And sometimes, if they had to trouble you for something, they even give you a full tank of gas.


Mini Cooper


To add these all up, they even sent us a goody bag of stuff. There's no turning back. Our eyes are looking towards that BMW series 1 Coupe.

Biggest scam in boxing

Pacman's last fight with Marquez was indeed controversial, and last night's fight was not much less and totally wrong in all aspects. It ended at full 12th round with a given ending that Pacman will take home the bacon.

But I almost fell off my seat after a split decision was announced. All who watched saw what happened-- every fan, analyst and sane person would not agree with the decision made. Hell, even Bradley, as underdog that he is, was not even sure why he won. We we're all robbed off with eyes wide open!

Not enough text votes for Manny.

If my theory serves me right, I have Jessica to blame! Hehehe!

SDCC 12

It's just two weeks away. Really excited and yet hating it at the same time. The long line is what really upsets me and 99.9% of the attendees.

Too many exclusives this year that would definitely make my wallet wish that it never existed in the first place.

All my photo gears are set but I'm missing a GoPro camera to make this year's experience a bit more interesting. For now, I have to settle with Anna's Nikon J1 for the video part of my coverage.


I also didn't get the chance to grab this years preview night. But no worries, I'm not really missing out on anything.

Gotta wake up early, not because of traffic but the long lines. Oh Comic Con, the things that I love to hate.
