sinch post 07.25.08 – short shots
[25 Jul 2008 | 4 Comments | ]

What a week! Quite a lot of issues sprouting here and there, and noise
that we have to quell left and right (both valid and overacted).

[25 Jul 2008 | No Comment | ]

I haven’t had a lot of opportunities to talk about my old chums, but today I’m featuring one of them especially after getting out of touch for quite a while. I finally got a message in Facebook from Claire — one of my best friends since grade school, after trying…

[24 Jul 2008 | 11 Comments | ]

It’s a new day and I’m feeling great.
Good things come in 3’s, and I made 3 big decisions today.
First and foremost, I finally got me a DSLR! My latest addition to my gizmo luvin’ lifestyle is the Canon EOS 450D kit, and an additional 55-200mm zoom lens for…

[22 Jul 2008 | 5 Comments | ]

sinch post 07.21.08 – getting fresh perspective
[21 Jul 2008 | 5 Comments | ]

I got this book as a gift from our Labor Relations Manager, Richard Lumiqued, who co-authored it with two others.
It was really nice and thoughtful of him to hand me something like this (Employee Discipline and Dismissal — not that I needed it yet hehehe), so I had him…

to be a top chef
[21 Jul 2008 | 3 Comments | ]

2 months after posting about some of my fantasies, here I am with another. Somewhere between catching my favorite shows on cable and rummaging through my old stuff, I get to either rediscover my childhood dreams or find new ones.
Upon channel surfing I found out about this program called…

unexpectedly enjoyable
[17 Jul 2008 | 4 Comments | ]

Past few days, I discovered a couple of things that are unexpectedly enjoyable 1. Lounging around the whole day at the couch with my Mac
2. Organizing, categorizing, retrieving cover art, and generating playlists for my iTunes library

[15 Jul 2008 | No Comment | ]

Lots of things happening at work and outside lately. I’ve not been able to blog about much of the activities I’ve partaken of late: – the BSB dinner at Amici, – the UP Ayala Townhall, – the Project Tarps dinner at Holy Cow (Trinoma) and subsequent tittle-tattle at Coffee Bean,…

[9 Jul 2008 | 4 Comments | ]

It’s now the middle of the week I dreaded.. so how am I doing? Well and good.
The
client-specific integration workshop I’m attending had been a lot
better than I expected — it was a sleeper hit of sorts — one where I
actually feel I have learned and gained…
