Everyone Is A Master Of Something

2010-12-18T19:55:00.001-05:00

I always think of myself as jack of all trades and a master of none. You can throw any tasks or challenge at me, I'll always find a way to not only finish it but be good at it, even only for that single moment. If I find something interesting, like a hobby, a sport, a video game, etc., I will reach a point that I'll be very good at it. Then there will come a point that boredom strikes me and my

It's been a looooong time since my last post and soooo many things already happened. We moved to a new place, got our condo. The past couple of months has just been challenging for us. We are fine and happy with our new place, at least we're able to move on now with our lives. Past is past, just got a move on. I know it's been a long while but I just didn't find enough time or energy to blog

TV: FlashForward --- A New Series To Watch

2009-09-24T21:54:00.005-04:00

With the end of Lost in 2010, ABC picked up FlashForward, another science-fiction, as its companion tv series.I had the pleasure to watch the premiere and I can say that it was nice to have something fresh. Fresh faces and no expectations probably will help the series. It's too early to tell but I'm hoping this will be something comparable if not as good as Lost. I guess we'll just find out.http

I know this post is a little bit late but here we go again. After two failed attempts of redemption for this series, Heroes is back for its fourth season tomorrow. I'm not expecting too much this time but I just hope that the third time will be a charm. Season 2 & 3 didn't quite match my expectations after a very successful and eventful first season but I still have some ounce of hope. One of the

The usual 45-55 minutes of travel time was cut back to 4 minutes. If it wasn't for my wife who reminded me that I was home early, I would never really realize that I left work early.

Taken after the Santa Parade, we ate lunch and decided to go Japanese this time. Had some maki rolls, teriyaki beef and tempura. I just love having such kind of lunch dates with my wife.

Taken last Sunday during the Santa Parade. We got there late and have to take a backseat in taking pictures of the parade. Because I wasn't able to get a good look of the parade, I decided to just take a snapshot of these best friends just right behind us.

"Cautionary Tales" gave Heroes another push in having a great closing this season. Lots of things happened and some questions have been answered again.Will Noah Bennet die? Who killed Kairo Nakamura?

Here's a DOF (depth of field) shot, taken two weeks ago at Amesbury Park. I submitted this as an entry in the first TipidPC.com "Photo Challenge" for amateurs, hobbyist, professionals and enthusiasts. The theme for the first challenge was DOF or Depth Of Field, where you have to make a certain subject stand out and make the other elements out of focus. I have to wait until today to post this

Sinigang is a Philippine dish famous for the variety of ingredients one can use as well as for its taste. Sinigang is typically sour and is most often likened to Thailand's tom yam.Sinigang often incorporates stewed fish, pork, chicken, shrimp, or beef. Sinigang's characteristic taste is attributed to the ingredient that gives its sour taste, not to the meat's flavor.Pork sinigang, the most

TV: Heroes "Cautionary Tales" Preview

2007-11-15T11:37:00.000-05:00

Here's a preview of next week's Heroes Episode "Cautionary Tales". We'll finally find out who killed Kaito Nakamura. Heroes is picking up the pace lately, unfortunately we might only have three remaining episodes this season because of the writer's strike. Nevertheless, I think Heroes will be closing strong this season. Enjoy the preview!

TV: Heroes "Four Months Ago" Review

2007-11-13T11:21:00.000-05:00

Did last night lived up to the hype? Honestly, I think it would be much better if they made last night's episode as the first episode this season. Except Peter and Adam's plotline, all the other stuff could have been in the first episode. I know that some questions have been answered last night but they waited too long for this episode. Generally, it was a good episode even without Hiro and

TV: Seattle Grace Joins The Picket

2007-11-09T10:42:00.000-05:00

After filming their last scripted episode, the cast of Grey's Anatomy joined the writer's strike and showed their support. As of next week, the cast won't be shooting any episode because there's just no enough script to film about. If this strike goes on longer, we might just be seeing repeats of Grey's Anatomy. Everybody already had enough of this, please get back now to the negotiating table.

TV: Heroes "Four Months Ago" -- Must See

2007-11-08T11:14:00.000-05:00

Here's the preview for next week's episode of Heroes, "Four Months Ago". A number of our questions will be answered on the next episode. We'll now know what happened four months ago. We'll find out how D.L. died, how Elle knew Peter, what's Niki's new alter ego, if Maya is really worse than Sylar, what Kensei/Adam M. doing in the present, and what will be Claire's new role in saving the world.

It's been a while since I posted a photo here and I've been wanting to try a panoramic shot for a long time now. It's freakin' cold outside so I didn't have much time to evaluate the scene and the shot. I just used photomerge in Adobe Photoshop -- sorry I still don't have a wide angle lens, and I shot this without a tripod -- sorry again, I still don't have a tripod! Somebody give me a tripod,

TV: Heroes "Out Of Time" --- Perfect Timing

2007-11-06T11:40:00.000-05:00

Finally, Heroes came up with an ass-kickin' episode and I bet next week's episode will be a whole lot better because most of the answers to our questions are coming up. So what did we get from yesterday's episode. Hiro finally came back from the past, Peter found out what the future holds because of the Shanti virus, the Nightmare Man got the taste of his own medicine from his son, and we found

TV: Perfect Night, Rare Bird, Some Other Time

2007-11-04T11:49:00.000-05:00

Here's a funny scene of last week's Grey's Anatomy episode. George and Izzie was planning a perfect night after a very long time but because of a very busy and tiring day at Seattle Grace, the perfect night has to wait. Kathering Heigl is so funny here and I think she really deserves her Emmy. It's just one of a few good scenes this season so far.

TV: Strike May Cut Heroes Season 2 Short

2007-11-02T22:22:00.000-04:00

Another bad news for the tv industry and especially for the viewers. Due to the impending writers strike, NBC might cut Heroes Season 2 short. They might make the 11th episode "Powerless" as the season finale. As we all know, NBC already cancelled the spin-off Heroes:Origins. Fans might get another shot to the gut if they decide to cut this season short. This is just a possibility and a worst

TV: Heroes: Origins Cancelled, For Now

2007-11-01T23:21:00.000-04:00

The Heroes' spin-off planned for next year has been cancelled by NBC. According to multiple sources, it has something to do with the impending writer's strike in Hollywood. Honestly, for now I really don't care about the spin-off. They'll have to put season two all together first to keep the viewership. Heroes: Origins is not totally dead yet, it might be back on the table next year. Here's a

TV: How I Met Robin

2007-10-31T15:31:00.000-04:00

For now, How I Met Your Mother is doing well --- better than Heroes. Maybe I'm just expecting too much from Heroes but I hope they pick up the pace in their story. Here's a fanvid I got from YouTube about the story of Ted & Robin. We already know that Robin is not who Ted ended up marrying --- too bad. But Mosby did have crazy moments together with the gorgeous and funny Scherbatsky. I just

TV: Heroes' Online Graphic Novels

2007-10-25T09:38:00.000-04:00

For those that still don't know, Heroes has an online graphic novel series. There is a new one every Tuesday on their official web site. It covers some background details that you don't see on each episodes. So that's one more reason to watch Heroes right? Though this week's episode didn't fair to well in the ratings, I'm hoping that they're just building it up with a surprisingly new and
