Addicted to online shopping

July 12, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Spending a lot of time inside your bedroom with a laptop, wifi and a paypal account is not good when you’re in a foreign country. Last 4th of July, I wasn’t able to join the group for their celebration so I stayed home, surfed a lot on ebay and won a lot of auctions. In less than 7 days, I spent almost more than $2,000 on ebay for the following items:

  • Canon 17-55 f/2.8 EF-S IS USM Lens
  • 3 bags
  • 1 toiletry bag
  • 3 books
  • 1 DVD
  • a phone system
  • a set of swiss army knife
  • transformers robot for my sister, and anime toy for my brother

Such a shopaholic! :P

Cars for rent Philippines

June 16, 2009 · Leave a Comment

Philippines – I’m renting out my car, a black Mazda 3, with driver for P4,000/day or P25,000 per week (7 days). The car is heavily tinted and the air-condition is ice-cold so you won’t feel the heat of the weather. It is almost new, I’ve bought it in December 2008. Here are some pics of the Mazda 3.

The car has temperature control, 6-disc CD changer and is iPod/iPhone ready.

Portable beach house

August 12, 2008 · Leave a Comment

I deal with a lot of clients from the shipping industry so I know a bit of how the industry works. One of my clients specializes in office containers. An office container is made of a (or a block of) shipment container converted into an office. I think they should look at this.

Port-a-bach is a beach house made from a repurposed shipping container that can be closed up and moved by truck, helicopter, or ship to any destination. Bach is a New Zealand term for a modest beach house. [From: GQ]

Orbs, Travel Photography and Moving on

June 14, 2007 · 2 Comments

My not so recent break-up with my girlfriend has brought me extreme sadness. This sadness has pushed me to pursue my passion for travel and photography. For the past 6 months, I’ve traveled within and outside the country. Somehow, traveling and photography has been my outlet and tool for moving on. I rebuild myself by reaching places I’ve never been to before and by sharing knowledge with a lot of new interesting people that I meet everyday – including her.

A recent trip to Corregidor revived my childhood interests about the unseen. Some orbs appeared in one of my shots at the Battery Grubbs. Just this morning, another orb appeared in a photo of my own house. We’ve been expecting that and the reason behind it has its own story.

I am watching A Haunting on Discovery channel as I write this entry. Last week’s episode revealed that frequent fights, depression and other reasons that cause negative energy attract evil to the house.

this photo is entitled I found paradise in a ghost town and can be found
in my flickr corregidor set.

I believe you can find paradise anywhere if you live with God.
