Movie: 10 Days of Conversations with Hong Kong Workers

A featured world premiere at the 31st Hong Kong International Film Festival, a social drama about the stark realities behind Hong Kong’s secret trade.

Life and Work Balance : HTH?

I am a work at home mom. I have an online job that is financially satisfying and allows me the freedom to work in tank tops, shorts and flip-flops. It should be good enough, right?
(I can hear husband now saying : Right, Asawa. I’m beside you pa palagi, we can sneak out during your break and har har har!)
Well, actually it should be more than good enough. However, when your office is just a few steps away from a charming and mischievous three-year old, your man’s loving arms, the pets, the TV, the exercise machine and the so many other things that can cause distraction, not to mention a troop of “outside forces” like unexpected visits from friends or worst, the utility service crew (electric, phone, water, dsl, etc), you just sometimes lose yourself in the struggle for a healthy life and work balance.

Bikol Wiki “conditionally approved” na!

Maraming salamat sa mga nag-argyu para sa Bikol Wikipedia. Na-conditionally approve na ang proposal. Kailangan lang na i-meet ang ilang rikwayrment para sa final approval ng proyekto. 

Narito ang mga kinakailangan:

1. There is an active test project on the Incubator wiki.

A project should start on the Incubator wiki. This will demonstrate that there is sufficient community to build the project. If there is no valid ISO 639 or BCP 47 code, the test project will provide some of the material to present to the World Language Documentation Center. This is also a good occasion to translate the MediaWiki software if there is no version in that language.

2. There are localization files available in that language.

The MediaWiki interface is created from localization files for each language. If there are no files for this language yet, the language subcommittee will contact the community to arrange for translation before the wiki can be created.

Meron na tayong test project, 3ng interesado (sa ngayon) na magkontribyut at/o mag-edit ng mga artikel, at ISO 639-3 na “bcl“ para sa Central Bicolano.

Kapag saksesful ang test project, iaapruwv ng language subcommittee ang rikwest at inonotifay ang Board of Trustees. Kung hindi mag-object ang board makalipas ang apat na araw, magkrikrieyt na ng wiki para sa atin. Hindi na mahalaga ang bilang ng users na nag-support o nag-oppose sa project

Users are strongly encouraged to continue developing the test project while they are waiting for the wiki to be opened. This may accelerate the process. For Wikipedia proposals, the List of articles every Wikipedia should have may be useful. All pages developed as part of a test wiki can be transferred to the actual wiki when it is opened. 

Pwede na kitang poroprobar na maggibo asin mag-edit nin artikulo sa http://incubator.wikimedia.org/wiki/Wp/bcl tangarig bukasan na an http://bcl.wikipedia.org!

DOING SOMETHING GOOD OUT OF MY EMPTY LIFE….

I am feeling sad today… But it’s ok, I cant complain about my life right now coz compared to other people I have a better life though there are some things that i dont like about it. It would be ungrateful for me to be complaining all the time, instead I want to do something good out of my time and life. Maybe one of the reasons why im feeling empty is because I still cant find what I really want in my life, and what I want to do with it. 

I want to participate in a volunteer work so I can share to other people not only what I know but also find out what my potentials are, and what more can I do for others. I know it’s kinda selfish to think that I would only be helping others just because I want to feel good and fill the emptiness that im feeling rigth now. But what can I do? I can’t think of any better ways than this. I am not a religious person but i strongly believe that if you want to be closer to the Creator, you have to be close to His Creation.

Im taking the first step now… Im making a pact with myself and hopefully with the help of the Divine Spirit, I would be able to accomplish it. To be honest, I’m scared to die knowing that I haven’t done something good for other people. I used to question myself, what will happen to me when i die and im in front of God and He would ask me ” Hey, My child, what have u done for your brothers and sisters down there on earth?”  Im afraid I can’t be able to give Him a good answer. That is if I would go to Heaven.. (laughs!)

I know what i’m trying to accomplish is something that is very noble and I also know for a fact that it is not very easy to do without the will power. And please don’t get me wrong here. I’m not trying to act as if I can medicate or give solutions to all the social disorders or diseases that we are having right now. I know I dont have that capacity. But I also know that you dont have to move the earth or mountains in order for you to make a difference. All we need to do is start our acts in small steps and from there we will see what we can do next.

So, does anyone know an institution or organizations that might need volunteers? I need your help guys…. Thanks.

My 2 Zone Technique intro.

True Photography consist of two key zones. (Zone A covers subject to film), better known as a negative, ( Zone B covers film to Print), other wise known as a positive. In true photography one can not exist with the other. Digital photography merely records the scene in pixel format, it lacks the required zones which are needed to create a true positive print.

I have added a Zone C to my Black and White Photo Art, this zone determines where colors on the final Black and White print. This Technique allows full control of contrast, composition, and balance of each individual photo.

My Hand coloring Techniques elevates the viewer chromatic thresholds. Color contrast can be easily manipulated to suit artist mood

or expressions simultaneously. I can enhance visual differences between two areas of different luminance or illumination.

I try to highlight the obvious positive in each Photo, I also attempt to accentuate the unseen Beauties of our world.

 

Printing a positive for Hand Tinting.

Printmaking is the most exciting aspects of Photography. Black and White Print making lends itself towards a leisurely creation. You can fine tune the image-by enlarging it and altering the tones of White through Black. You can also reduce or increase the contrast between them. Cropping the edges readys the Print for final viewing.
Photo Printing Paper is coated with a light-sensitive emulsion containing crystals of silver atoms combined with bromine or chlorine atoms or both. Light is passed through the negative and onto the paper. After the print is exposed it is placed in a developer where chemical action converts the crystals into a dark metallic silver. Then the Print is place in a stop bath to halt the action of the developer, then fixer, which removes undeveloped and unexposed crystals, and finally it is washed and dried.
All of my Black and White Photos are in the range of zone “IV” through zone “VII”. This allows the Hand Tinting to take on it’s on Mood. The colors have a tendency to jump from the Paper.
What makes my Black and White Photo Art Unique ? I use only color film to my Print Black and White Photos the Classic way. It gives me a wonderful guide to know the true colors of the scene for future Tinting. With Black and White film you will only have shades of greys for reference.
Color films has more contrast due to the nature of it emulsion. In color film red is red, blue is blue, and yellow is yellow. Black and White Print paper responds well in the toe and shoulder areas. Density becomes more apparent in the shadows zones.

Malu Fernandez Returns?

I was busy copying answers for my take-home exam in Numericals early this afternoon when I received a twitter message on my mobile phone that came from Benj of Atheista.net telling everyone about an interesting and surprising twist on an already-dead issue.Malu Fernandez will be back! Well at least that’s what the picture below says.

I found the image posted on Lovefool’s blog. Based on the picture, it seems that Malu Fernandez will resume her post as a column writer in Manila Standard Today this coming Monday.

Is this true? What ever happened to her resignation?

Political Unrest

Charles’ Reviews: Evan Almighty

One day before my Licensure Examination for Teachers, I decided to relax a bit and shrug off my nervous, so I watch a movie. There was no good movie, except for Evan Almighty. Top-billed by Steve Carell and Morgan Freeman.

The movie is the sequel for Bruce Almighty, starring Jim Carrey. But as with the usual sequels, this is better that the first film. The prosthetics used in this film is so superb that anyone can be fooled by Carell’s beard, and growing hair.

The movie revolves around a newly-elected US Congressman, who is working to “Change the World”. They just moved into a new house, and works on a bill that calls for destruction of National Parks and converting them into subdivisions. But as life moves on, strange things start to happen. Animals (all different kinds of animals) start
following Evan around. And the number 614 appears everywhere he goes. Evan soon learns that the number is a verse in the Bible. In the book of Genesis, 6:14 is the verse in which God instructs Noah to build the ark. The ark was designed to meet the actual measurements of the biblical ark, measuring 450 feet long, 80 feet wide, and 51 feet high.

Writing for Nobody

Apparently, less and less people are reading books. And as much as this depresses me, I can’t say I’m surprised. My own reading habits do nothing but support these statistics.

I used to read a lot when I was younger. A whole lot in fact, that my mother would worry (and with good reason) about my ability to cope with real world problems should they come my way. But the older I grew, the more things started to get in the way of my reading. Distractions of the productive as well as of the non-productive nature began to take up more and more of my time, leaving me too tired to read at the end of the day.

The desire to read is still there, just not as strong. Now, I can stand to walk in a bookstore and not buy a single book. While not having purchased a good book lately makes me feel like I’m missing out on a lot of things, I can begrudgingly admit that I wouldn’t be able to read it anyway. Heck, I have around 10 books sitting on the shelf just waiting to be read. But what can I say? Watching TV and / or going to the movies are all the stuff I have time for now.

As a workaround to my literary drought, I have started listening to Audiobooks. Agatha Christie’s ABC Murders, A Pocket Full of Rye, The Murder of Roger Ackroyd, and Hickory Dickory Dock were among the books I first listened to. Then I tried out books I wouldn’t normally have read like A Confederacy of Dunces.

Ika-2 para sa Philippine Madrigal Singers at Pilipinas!

Panalo ang Philippine Madrigal Singers o ang “Madz” sa 2007 European Grand Prix for Choral Singing, ang ikinokonsider na choral Olympics sa mundo.

Ito ang ika-2ng beses na nanalo ang grupo, nung 1997 ang firstaym. Bagamat hindi ang Pilipinas ang may pinakamaraming panalo sa histori ng kontest kundi ang Sweden na may apat (St Jacobs Kammerchör, 1992; The Mats Nilsson Vocal Ensemble, 1994; Lunds Vocal Ensemble, 1999; at Allmånna Sangen, 2005), ang grupo ang kauna-unahan at tanging choir na nanalo ng dalawang beses.

Kung nagtataka kayo kung bakit kasali ang Madz sa pakontest na pang-European, ang EGP ay labanan ng mga kampyon sa 6 na kompetisyon: International Guido d’Arezzo Polyphonic Contest ng Arrezo sa Italy, Bella Bartok International Choir Competition ng Debrecen sa Hungary, Cesare Augusto Seghizzi Competition sa Gorizia sa Italy, Tolosa Choral Competition ng Tolosa sa Spain, Tours Vocal Competition ng Tours sa France, at International May Choir Competition ng Varna sa Bulgaria. Dito, maaaring  jumoyn ang alinmang choir kahit na di-European. Nung July 2006, nanalo ang grupo sa Arrezo kaya ito ang nagreprizent nito sa EGP. Bukod sa Pilipinas, dalawa pang di-European ang nanalo dito: ang Japan (Kallos Chooir, 1995), at United States (University of Mississippi Concert Singers, 1998 at The University of Utah Singers, 2006 - kampyon din sa Tours).

Mabuhay Philippine Madrigal Singers at Pilipinas!

HELPING THE NEEDY

The Special Education Center of Kalibo Elementary School II was established in 1997 by a teacher, who after graduating his first training in special education for the visually impaired leading to a degree of Masters of Arts in Special Education was tasked to establish a Special Education Class for the visually impaired pupils. The enrollment started with only about five. With the meager budget allocated by the government for the program, the teacher took the initiative to solicit funds from donors through the Kapisanan ng Mga may Kapansanan sa Pilipinas Region VI Chapter.

Taste Asia Part II: PMN

I had the opportunity to attend the second Taste Asia event sponsored by SM Hypermarket - finally! I wrote details about it in my personal blog but I wanted to highlight here the other moms that I had a chance to meet.

I really did not know the faces that belong to the other moms in the pinoymomsnetwork. Well… except for Noemi, Dine, Myrna (because I saw her on tv) and Aileen. And that’s why I really wasn’t aware that other PMN moms were also there at the event.

Mentos + Diet Coke = COKEGASM!

During one of our weekly lunches with the family, my sister mentioned an email she got which described the death of an unnamed boy by ingesting Coke and Mentos and subsequently expelling the mixture through both orifices. I’m not sure about the validity of this story, and Snopes seem to agree with me; but here’s a couple of videos I found which would give anybody pause before doing what the boy in the email did:

The Truth About Warcraft III: Defense of the Ancients

So I was just minding my own business stalking hot chicks on Friendster, right? After viewing hot bikini photos and taking mental pictures (to be “mentally Photoshopped” later), I checked out the bulletin board to see if I can find incriminating and juicy facts about my friends who answer stupid “surveys”. My mind wasn’t ready for what was about to be revealed to me: THE AWESOMEST TRUTH IN THE HISTORY OF ALL AWESOME TRUTHS!

Behold! The truth about Warcraft III: Defense of the Ancients (no modifications made to protect the integrity *LOL* of the text):

Filteany Wants To Know Your Favorite Songs

Kadalasan ay maingay, madaldal, makulit at parang kiti kiti ako. Halos lahat ng taong nakakakilala sa akin ay sasabihing kenkoy at koboy ako. Ngunit may mga ilang pagkakataon na ninanais kong nasa isang sulok lamang ako upang mag- senti. Kinakailangan kong maramdaman ulit ang malungkot, mangarap at maging dramatic actress. Bukod sa hindi pa rin ako binabalikan ni Brad Pitt, ang mga bagay na itatala ko ang mga nagpapasenti kay Filteany.

1. Pictures ng graduation ko noong high school. Hindi ko kase mawari kung anong kurso ang kukunin ko sa kolehiyo. Medyo galit ang aking parents dahil hindi pa ako nakakapagdesisyon.
2. Pictures ni GMA.
3. Pictures ng mga Filipinong “below the poverty line”
4. Pictures ng mga taong grasa sa atin at dito sa NYC.
5. Mga taong gumagala habang kinakausap ang invisible na si Spiderman.
6. Ang Lola ko na hindi ko nakikita nang halos 4 na taon.
7. Ionic Cafe at ang …..
