Aqua Obscura II: Our second underwater exhibit at Gallery 7 (Eastwood Mall, Libis)
“Underwater photography is considered a difficult practice. Because it is a specialized art, very few photographers attempt it. Down there they can capture rare and vivid images we cannot simply find up here. Underwater photography is truly “A Whole New World.” Gallery 7 and NUDI present over 30 beautiful examples of underwater photos, created by…

The first original game I bought … was CRAP.
At home I have these big iBox containers which I use to store my junk. I have 6 of these stacked up at the foot of my bed. It’s semi-OC: one has all the plugs and cables, another has gadgets, and manuals, another one with my lens filters, so on and so forth. Rummaging through…

OMG the Skyway is finally complete!
I can’t believe it. It’s finally done. If you’re from the south (like me), this flyer is a huge sigh of relief as the many months of traffic wore down on all of us who live further down from Magallanes. Slowly, but surely, it’s become a breeze to drive home. I remember in 1998 when…

Subject: I Love You (and yes, starring Jericho Rosales)
Interesting. It’s Jericho Rosales‘ first international film. But more than that, it seems like a pretty solid story on the drama and intrigue behind the ‘I Love You’ virus epidemic that plagued the world’s Internet in May of 2000. The worm originated from the Philippines and thus, the setting (or one of the settings) of…

BlackBerry Torch 9800: You want one. No, really you do! Buy it. Buy it. Buy it.
EDIT: Here’s a post from my friend Eric on his BB6 experience. Wow. Talk about delayed. The BlackBerry Torch you see here was released in the middle of 2010. It’s only now I’m reviewing it. To be fair, I haven’t seen a lot of people using this phone as it arrived late in the Philippines.…

Jewelmer: A Short Primer on the South Sea Golden Pearl
On the geeky side: I’m using the new Samson Go Mic to record the voice over for this short amateur documentary. It’s an amazing device for PHP 2,300.00. It’s small, lighr and super affordable and can very well replace your professional USB studio mic if you aren’t too meticulous. Transcript and photos follow.

DIVE AND SHOOT: Tourism! Underwater Photo Contests! Growing SCUBA Community!
I found this Moray Eel peeping from the hard coral while shooting for an underwater segment of Born to be Wild | Dive 7000 Resort, Anilao | January 2011. Dammit! I live in such a beautiful country! 🙂 Anna Oposa would agree. Last week our underwater photography dive group (check us out at NUDI.PH and…

Geek Orgasm Trifecta: Sandy Bridge. Portal 2. Sixense Motion Sticks
Sandy Bridge. Portal 2. Sixense motion controllers. Several months ago, a friend showed me some benchmark tests for the new Sandy Bridge video cards. You see, about two years ago, desktops — and even laptops would be equipped with what I would call “poor excuses” for video cards. They sucked. And this would always require…

When gaming respected you: a pseudo-rant
I finished Dead Space 2 on the PC a few weeks ago. I would have finished it sooner, but I was playing this in tandem with The Witcher, which is now easily in my “Games You Should Play Before You Die” list. Other games in this list include Final Fantasy VII (or III if you…

Going paperless with press releases
This March 26, the world celebrates Earth Hour. At its worst, it is a commercialized gimmick to make us feel like we’re really doing something for the environment. At its best, it can be a means for a society to achieve greater things and effect real change. This 2011, Earth Hour’s theme is all about…
