sandripples

I was looking at my photos and I realized that I have been missing a lot of beauty from our hometown, Aklan. I have circumnavigated Panay, road tripped through the foggy mountain roads of Negros, played with starfishes and dipped into marine sanctuaries. Yet I have very few photos to remember them by.

I happened to see my friend’s brother’s photo gallery of some unfamiliar beauties of Aklan and I really envy him. I went home there last week, yet I came back empty handed of such beautiful frames and views. All I saw was the aftermath of Frank, the tangled electrical cables, wrecked homes, muddy houses and muddy merchandise for sale.

Roy really got great shots of Navitas Beach (and the Farms in Madyaas along the way), which is just a few kms away from our home. When I was a kid, I used go there with my cousin’s bike. It has it’s own beauty and tranquility to offer, the fine black sand, the salty ocean’s smell, the calming tides, the happy innocent kids, the hardworking fishermen and the small and warm community. I have lots of stories to share, and they’re haunting my memories just as I stare at these photos.

Aklan must be so proud of such talent as Roy, who has the passion to capture it’s beauty and it’s wonderful stories. I can just imagine his journey as very refreshing and fruitful.

A photo I took for the Aperture 2 Workshop at PowerMac last Saturday (June 22) was posted by Gunther Deichmann in his blog.

Thanks Honey&Jaycie for the buzz!!!

it’s been 10 days since my last blog entry, no photos and yes, no rants! but hmmm what have i been doing?

• sessions with my dentist. i was really tough to have survived them =). my tooth is now good as new.
• most of the time, sleep. longer sleeping hours because of my antibiotics for my tooth. this week, ciao antibiotics! weee!
• read my feeds. blog housekeeping. and yeah, i have a new hobby — coding. =)
• watched all episodes of “the big bang theory”, the recent episodes of all three CSIs, desperate housewives and the simpsons, and lots of comedy movies.

i’m still laughing my ass off for “the big bang theory”, it’s sooooo geeky hahaha — i really love sheldon cooper. this sitcom is created and produced by chuck lorre, the same man responsible for “two and a half men”, which is also one of my favorite sitcoms. now, i’m laughing again, i just remember the two and a half men’s cameo role in the last episode of CSI vegas. and yeah, i’ve been wanting for more IT Crowd episodes and Dilbert-Animated.

Leonard: We need to widen our circle.
Sheldon: I have a very wide circle. I have 212 friends on myspace.
Leonard: Yes, and you’ve never met one of them.
Sheldon: That’s the beauty of it.

i don’t have anything to watch anymore, aside from CSI re-runs in Foxcrime and Dr.House. currently dowloading Chuck… i guess, i can have some webcomics then. i think, it’s time i visit http://www.inktank.com/ again. hehehe, just so i can keep laughing this whole weekend hahaha.

Migs and Me, Photo taken with Achi’s Canon G9

Mig’s requested to have our photo taken because sabi nya “pareho kaming geek”. I felt complimented. =) pero you are uber, migs. when i was deciding for my mobile number, i was tempted to pick 0920-979-GEEK or 0920-979-NERD, but then i picked 0920-979-ROOT. =)

i was bored, so i restored my N82 to its factory settings and started tinkering with it.

for 5 hours, i forgot about my ipod touch! i just realized it could do more than an ipod touch can. when i bought it, i treated it like a gsm phone with a better camera. maybe because i got tired of playing with gadgets this year. maybe it’s the aging. aw. i bought my ipod touch as a toy,
and after having it jailbroken, i lost my interest in it.

anyways, i loaded my phone with my on-the-go playlist, really cool themes! from mmcforums.net, sports tracker – of course, the you tube player (very handy when you’re in the toilet, you can sit there as long as you want, searching for videos via wifi), some card games — poker and maumau, some productivity tools — time tracker, task manager, etc., wellness diary, woman app, location tagger, ah and moooooore.

i changed the smart logo into a transparent operator logo, hmmm changed my message tone, ring tones, etc.

i got tired and stopped when i couldn’t find a cracked dopewars. i really miss that game. it used to be my bedtime play when i still have my n6600 and tungsten. iphone has dopewars now, maybe i could hack one into my ipod touch.

now i’m beginning to love my phone. i never cared for it before, it has lots of scratches and i’ve dropped it a hundred times already, fortunately all of its features are still working. maybe i’d cry if i drop it and break the gps device.

i’m planning to jog around rockwell in the next few days and i bet my n82 will really be a great companion. =)

Thanks so much to Jaycie and Honey!!! For texting me about your gig last night. And for bringing my micro necklace! =), tsaka para sa yosi =)

tsaka, grabe pati yung 2 iced tea! Pagkabalik namin sa table from the yosi veranda, nakaserved na ang iced tea sa _reserved_ table namin. lakas nyo talaga! =)

see you soon guys!
