Happy Birthday, Aliyah!

It was Aliyah's 8th birthday! This time, it's just a simple celebration. Unlike the past birthdays she had, the party at the Ritz Hotel on her 7th birthday, McDonald's Bayview , Gameworks, and the rest. Aliyah brought her treats on the day of her birthday at school, It was me and my wife who ushered the kids, served food and juices during their 30 minute break (yeah, we have to serve, sing, eat and wrap up in 30 minutes) It was great! Me and my wife had fun with the class, by just looking at their happy faces, makes your day complete and of course, Aliyah who was so happy on her special day! Thanks Mrs. Cristy Johnson for your help!

The cake that she always wanted to have: High School Musical, Suite Life & Hannah Montana!(This time, she's with them)

A sneak peek at my office

Okay, after briefing the guys at the creative department this morning, I had a 15 minute break to take a breather in my room. It's one of those moments where I have to sit back and relax a bit and free my mind from the usual daily clutter. I looked around and tried observing my room, the reception desk, I grabbed my camera and took snaps of our office. Here's some snaps, coming up next is the creative department (sounds fun :-)

Our office entrance, Welcome to Pencil!

The reception desk, as you can see, it's a huuuge pencil-like table.

The waiting area infront of the reception desk with my painting on the wall:-)

Our meeting room, It sits 6-8 person, with a customized surfing board table.

My Office, I know it's messy but what can I do? I could barely find time to clean up and do some arrangements, maybe I will get someone to clean it for me :-)

Another view of my desk, Whew! Papers here, notes there, Lol

My favorite part of my office, that's a 32" LCD Full HD TV. Hmm, I think I have to subscribe TFC or GMA soon :-)

Salamat, Teddy!

I was watching GMA TV last night when I saw this i-witness documentary where Jay Taruc was featuring the story of the late guitar wizard Teddy Diaz of the Dawn, Damn! I was zoomed back to the 80's when I was dancing and throwing myself in the pits with this band's "Enveloped Ideas", Akala nga namin nuon eh, British band, yun pala Pinoy?! Sayang nga lang at nawala agad si Teddy, we felt robbed by his sudden death. I remember seeing Teddy at the PWU premises nuon, He used to hang out with us Fine Arts students at the paseo, He's taking up music while we were the "falling ones" at the Fine Arts department:-) May You Rest in Peace, Teddy!


This clip is probably his best performance ever, at the San Miguel Oktoberfest.

Pacman vs The Golden Boy

Dayumn! Who is it gonna be? Oscar or Manny? We'll see on December 6! I will be watching this fight over a bottle of Jack Daniels, Lol. Pustahan naah! BTW, guys you can watch 24/7 on HBO tomorrow!

Well, since I created Oh My Blog, I haven't had the chance to update my art blog, I thought i'll transfer some of my posts here, starting with the "De Colores" Exhibit:-)

Christmas Countdown

"Pasko na naman, O kay tulin ng araw! paskong nagdaan tila ba kung kailan lang? Ngayon ay pasko, dapat pasalamatan, ngayon ay pasko, tayo ay magawitan!" And the song goes... 52 days left till Christmas Day! 23 Days left, Bakasyon nah! There's nothing like spending the holidays at home, the misa de gallo, carolings, the food (lechon), the beer, fire-crackers and all, and most specially, the gastoss!! Woo Hoo!

Remembering the Supremo

ANDRES BONIFACIO, Founder of The Katipunan, was born to Santiago Bonifacio and Catalina de Castro, a Spanish mestiza, in Tondo, Manila on November 30, 1863 and died on May 10, 1897 at the age of 33. To remember the Supremo on his 145th birth anniversary is to rekindle in us his ideals - Liberty, Equality, and the Brotherhood of Men - a man of action, a great organizer, an indefatigable worker, and selfless Filipino who sacrificed his life to see his beloved Motherland freed from foreign domination.

Pepsi New Logo

I can't wait for this baby to hit the stores! I kinda like the new packaging design, though the logo, Umm, well... It can be better :-) But whatever, what a strategy! Here's a bit of their identity history:

Bad News!

This is bad news for y'all who's into safe sex, Research shows that Oral Sex is linked to cancer. Say Whaat?!! Oh yeah, true that! What you may have considered safer sex could be putting you at risk for cancer. Check this link out!

Radio Ga Ga

What happens when Radio Jocks forget to push that little red button? Their voices could still be "clearly" heard from every radio receiver all over the place! This happened to a radio jock for the Kuwait Super Station 99.7 FM, She plays Non-stop Latin hits, she plays requests, asks trivias and get phone calls. According to the news, one night, this DJ seemed to be "drunk" on air and "slurred" the whole show. Then there was a caller, who told this dj that she's making a fool of herself and, that she's a "drunk hoochie", the dj answered back saying, "Go F*** yourself, go f*** your father and your brother" Unfortunately, they thought they were off the air.
