Boom Boom Contest

The fireworks competition being held near the under-construction SM Mall of Asia is *rad*. This photo was taken in the parking lot of Teletech Roxas Blvd., using a Nokia 6020 in night-mode. I was so close, I got sunburn.

Mind-droning traffic already starts from España or Edsa-Ayala. Since my destination was pretty close to the event, I had to persuade several traffic organizers along the way that "Yes, I definitely need to be there; and no, not just to get closer to the lights" and one would hear me say more than once "Don't park there, I'm still going that way, idiot"

Christmas Party @ RSCC

We held our PREX Proj.6 Batch 70 Christmas party at the Nursery Ward of Reception & Study Center for Children, Magbantay, QC last Saturday Dec 17.






Don't they look quite happy to see us? We were informed this ward was visited less frequently than the other wards, as people prefer kids that are older than toddlers.






Thanks to Gardenia for providing the kids with a sleighful of bread, and Philmed for infant multivitamin drops.







"Bata, tatay mo yan oh, hahahaha"
"Huhuhu, bakit mo ako iniwan?"

My Brother the Jedi

It's Jase Windoo! Almost bald, almost black.

The Darth Vader lightsaber I originally bought for him was defective, as was the other Darth Vader lightsabers, so we got Mace Windu's (the only other available was Yoda's, which apparently no one wants)

Happy birthday! May the Force be with you, and in your weapon power cells

ROME

The new series from HBO, well, rocks! The cast, especially Caesar (Ciaran Hind), is absolutely amazing! I have yet to ascertain of its historical accuracy, but it is still impressive even if it has none. Another great production from HBO, joining the ranks of Band of Brothers, Six Feet Under, and Carnivale. The pre-Caesar Republic of Rome is unnervingly familiar, though ; filthy streets, chaotic citizens, squabbling politicians, widespread corruption and immorality, a republic failing its people.

"Our beloved Republic is in the hands of madmen! This is a dark day, and I stand at a fork in the road. I can abide the law and surrender my arms to the Senate - and watch the Republic fall to tyranny and chaos. Or, I can go home with my sword in hand and run those maniacs to the Tarpean Rock!"
