ending the year
Dec 30, 2008 photography
Aside from all the parties and drinking sessions, this extended vacation has been quite a busy few days. And although work is taking a back seat at the moment, some of the events that have transpired can just tire you out… but in a good way.
Here are a few shots from my phone cam…

Yehey Kainan @ Kapihan
Dec 21, 2008 miscellaneous
No, it’s not a blogger event. And no, it’s not even a Yehey sponsored event…
As I wrote in one of my earlier posts, Yehey Kainan @ Kapihan is actually an eatery in one of the malls located in Caloocan. My friend Belle, just sent me these photos yesterday.
Pretty funny if you think about it. Yehey name, Yahoo font. Wonder what their food tastes like.

online photo haven
Dec 18, 2008 miscellaneous
Photography lovers and netizens, here’s a bit of good news… for a change. You can now purchase all your photographic needs at Hidalgo prices online.

I recently stumbled across Online Hidalgo over at Multiply, thanks to a tip from Euge.
In this shop, you can purchase the various latest products offered by most Camera providers, without having to deal with the huge mark ups that most malls place on their stock. And you can pay via GCash, PayPal, via Bank transfer and. of course, COD.
Finally, a local online retailer with cheap prices and convenient modes of payment. Now to save up!

DOT and MTV casual dinner
Dec 17, 2008 Yehey, events, photography
As part of an ongoing campaign to promote our beautiful country, DOT and long time partner MTV hosted a casual dinner tonight, over at The O Lounge of Alchemy.
The topic: DOTs (and MTVs) plans for next year. The guests of honor: none other than Tourism secretary himself, Joseph “Ace” Durano and Undersecretary Edu Jarque.
And as an added treat, Christine Gambito (Happy Slip, to the uninitiated) was also present at the event, to add a little color to the festivities.
Through a candid gathering, Secretary Durano made a few plans for next year known. The biggest of which is a culminating event to take place sometime in November entitled Rockipelago — a massive gathering of Fil-Am musical performers. Of course, names were withheld, so as to keep a tight lid on the bands involved… but a few hints were dropped, so we can all speculate.
Being that this was the first time the DOT got involved with an event as informal as the one held last night, i.e. a casual dinner with bloggers, it was quite surprising to see Secretary Durano and Undersecretary Jarque so at ease. In fact, Sec. Durano was so comfortable, he was the one cracking a few jokes to get the bloggers in a light mood.
As the evening progressed, and ideas were exchanged, we were even treated to a bit of magic by Kel Fabie.
All in all, I think it was a good night. Bloggers were given the privilege to find out first hand some of the plans that the DOT will be rolling out next year, together with MTV… and Secretary Durano was able to gather some insight into the mind of a blogger.
Watch out for more info in the coming months, as we see some of these plans unfold.
Here are some photos from the event…

one more cup of coffee

Coffee, over the years, has become one of my addictions. More so, during the colder days and freon filled office hours.

Yehey's PoPinoyan partay
Dec 16, 2008 Yehey, events, photography
With bands, food and booze aplenty, it was all smiles at the Yehey! PoPinoyan Christmas party last night at Grilla Bar and Grill along Kalayaan.
Clients, partners, bloggers, users and Yehey! employees mingled with each other in an eventful evening, hosted by poet / writer / actor / host Juddah Paolo.
A full buffet, free flowing alcohol, a few prizes and some great, up and coming bands fueled the party atmosphere, as Yehey! gave thanks to everyone that braved the traffic and attended the party, as well as recognize the support that everyone gave for a fruitful 2008.
As an added treat, and to celebrate our Pinoy Pop Culture, a few hundred lucky guests also got to take home a t-shirt with their favorite lines from movies, songs and various other popular media over the past few decades.
Thanks to everyone who made it.
Here are a few photos to browse through…
