Moo has new products by the way

Have you checked out the new offering from Moo lately? I posted about Moo’s awesome printing service several months ago. They now let you print stickers which you can slap onto journals and other things you want to personalize. A set of 90 stickers costs about $10.00.

Moo Minicards

I tried ordering a new set of Moo Cards yesterday and I got a transaction error after ordering two boxes of cards. Apart from this anomaly, I’ve found Moo cards to make good alternatives to printing biz cards yourself. You avoid all the hassles of buying materials and finding a printer. But best of all, Moo cards gives you an edge to start a conversation with the person you’re giving it too. Here’s a tip: choose a background photo that makes for a good conversation piece.

The only downside to these Moo cards is that your chances of getting picked in a goldfish bowl raffle is reduced to half 🙂

UA&P Alumni Web Project

By any chance, are there graduates of the University of Asia and the Pacific (formerly known as CRC, also known as UA&P) that read this blog? Some of the school’s alumni, together with the alumni office are putting together a collaborated web effort. Details are quite vague as of the moment but some of the spearheads of the project include Elber Cruz, Anna “the Foz” Castro and some other graduates. If you aren’t part of the alumni mailing list but happen to read this blog and want to help, please leave a comment here with your email so we can get in touch with you.

UA&P is a very young university so it may seem dwarfed by the other accomplishments and stature of the other big campi in the Philippines. Nonetheless, it was what I called home for five good years. 🙂

Jayvee’s Quentin Tarantino Experience

So I shuffled over Gateway Mall to meet Quentin Tarantino at the Cinemalaya FIlm Festival. The press had a “meet and greet” session after he gave a four hour seminar on film. Luckily a friend from one of the ABS-CBN magazines needed a photographer so she dragged me along, to my delight. I’d do anything to meet the pulp in the fiction.

Quentin Tarantino has always fascinated me because of his deep appreciation for Asian Cinema. Based on the comments of many of those who attended the four hour talk, they were all fascinated with Tarantino’s familiarity with the development of Filipino cinema, even from the era of the 60’s. Tarantino also stressed how he hates questions like “how was it like working with Uma in Kill Bill” which are things he usually gets in Hollywood. Filipino film students and industry folk were more intelligent throughout the four hour discourse, gladly 🙂

I will say it now that I had a totally different experience!

On Social Networks

Transparency

Social networks are successful not because they inherently express who we are. They are successful because they project an image of how we want people to admire us, and ultimately, who we want to become.

Holga Shots using Fuji Superia 100 Film

After what seemed like an eternity, Jed finally got to print and scan the roll I took using her Holga. I was using Fuji Superia 100 film for this set. Here are some shots that caught my fancy. I especially like the double exposure experiment done in the second picture as it looks eerie.
