Last night, I went to the center of Lucena City to watch my friend Vivien who invited me to a fashion show dubbed "longest ramp" (Yes, it was long -- as long as about 2-3 basketball courts).
I met a good friend Brian there who was taking photos with his nifty dSLR. (We first became friends through music as we were band members, and now he's taking photography as a hobby -- and apparently seriously.)

Yesterday I missed the Flores de Mayo of some beautiful showbiz personalities because I had to help my friend Raymond with his buggy Windows system (Thanks, Microsoft). Good thing I met Brian last night. This shot is of the oh, so pretty Maja Salvador (TV: May Bukas Pa, Kapitan Boom, film: My Kuya's Wedding, First Day High), one of my favorites in his "Flores de Mayo 2009" shots.

So, thanks for sharing, Brian, and keep them coming! ;')

(Haaah... Majaaa...)

This is a test post from , a fancy photo sharing thing.

So you wanna be a star, huh?

Stephanie Mae Bell* needs applicants!

[location is probably somewhere in the U.S.]:

"
I am needing to fill 75 extra positions for a film.

You will make roughly $100/day and shooting will take aprox. 2 days depending on what happens.

If you have never been an extra make sure you show up on time as doors will be closed on time and you will be turned away if not on time.

You will need to fill out your information and get a portfolio started, it was free but because we are sending this out to so many people and we need to qualify who we work with we will charge a $1.99 fee for the coaching call and for setting up your portfolio on your own site, which we will set up as well.

You will find out more about this shoot and other shoots around town here:

A Poem For Those Over 30

A computer was something on TV
From a science fiction show of note
A window was something you hated to clean
And ram was the cousin of a goat.

Meg was the name of your girlfriend
And gig was a job for the nights
Now they all mean different things
And that really mega bites.

An application was for employment
A program was a TV show
A curser used profanity
A keyboard was a piano.

Memory was something that you lost with age
A CD was a bank account
And if you had a 3 inch floppy
You hoped nobody found out.

Compress was something you did to the garbage
Not something you did to a file.
And if you unzipped anything in public
You'd be in jail for awhile.

Log on was adding wood to the fire
Hard drive a long trip on the road
A mouse pad was where a mouse lived
And a back up happened to your commode.

Cut you did with a pocket knife.
Paste you did with glue
A web was a spider's home
And a virus was the flu.

I guess I'll stick to my pad and paper
And the memory in my head
I hear nobody's been killed in a computer crash
But when it happens, they'll wish they were dead.

Five reasons computers must be female...

5.- No one but their creator understands their internal logic.

4.- Even your smallest mistakes are immediately committed to memory for future reference.

3.- The native language used to communicate with other computers is incomprehensible to everyone else.

2.- The message, "Bad command or filename", is about as informative as "if you don't know why I'm mad at you, then I'm certainly not going to tell you".

1.- As soon as you make a commitment to one, you find yourself spending half your paycheck on accessories for it.
