Twitter Challenge

The little blue bird (term borrowed from friend Dale)infection has been really massively spreading. With many people (which includes myself) getting into the tweet craze, the Twitter Challenge has been put into place. Two significant names battle to be the first Twitter account to gain 1 million Followers. Ashton Kutcher up against the CNN News team. Who will win? We are all waiting. I think few moments from now, someone will already hit the throne.

Follow me on Twitter, anyone? elguevara is the user name =)

Anawangin

200 KM., 5 driving hours, 2 stop over, 14 people, 1 destination – Anawangin Cove, Pundakit, Zambales! It’s time again for team Alchemy’s summer getaway. I’d have to say that Anawangin is really the vacation island to beat!
First activity is to island hop. To do this, it is imperative to ride the motor boat. If only God blessed me with the wings, I could have spared myself from the heart pounding boat rides which by the way lasted for like 30 minutes for every island destination.

First stop is the Camara Island which presented us with crystal clear water and beauty of humungous rock structures. I love seeing lots of small fish in clear water which is situated right up front the shore. Next, we went to Capones Island which is also impressive because of its white sand, wide shoreline and of course, the crystal clear water. Final stop is the surreal place of Anawangin! I swear, it’s really a great feeling being so close to this beauty of nature. We’ve seen the sunset while in the island while we also took some time to goof around and of course do our ever favourite “jumping” shots!

Nights came in and were back to the resort. We started with nice dinner fore fronted by grilled liempo and sausages. Alchemy getaway won’t be complete without the drinking session. I got a little tipsy so i went back to our room and snooze (snore) away!

Next day, right after lunch we took off with genuine smiles and hopes of coming back again in this place. And oh, I have to mention that NLEX is really the driver’s BFF! It’s really a great thing NLEX is around.
More summer fun to come. Ikaw ba, what’s your plan?

Hey Blog!

As promised, here we are with this new look. Truth of the matter is I was sleepy yesterday because of the Holy week break “hangover” and so I accidentally messed up my layout. I suddenly realized that my back up files of the entire blog was also accidentally deleted. Then, panic room came in and my entire day was a mess. I was drained. Good thing I recovered some files. Now, the link list widget was DELETED too so, I WOULD LIKE TO ASK SOME LOVE FROM YOU TO KINDLY WRITE YOUR BLOG URL HERE so that I can build up my links again.

Now, what better way to kick off the second quarter of TM but talk about American Idol right? Now that top 7 is determined already, I would have to say (and this goes without giving in a lot of effort to think) that Danny Gokey and Adam Lambert will hit it to a Man to man action! Aw, I mean the two will surely compete for the AI season 8 top slot. I would probably predict that it would be Anoop or Allison going out this week.

Adam is always surprising and his vocals are often flawless and distinct but I don’t think he has the makings of a real idol. On this point, I’d say Danny will win this season because I believe that America will still go for the sharply clean image backed up by an interesting story of him losing his wife weeks before the idol auditions. And have I mentioned his power vocals? -Crazy right?

So, here’s TM back on track. The hopes are high that my finger-counted readers will somehow increase. He He He.

And the tweet goes “hey bloggers!”

BYE BYE

Ill be taking time to rethink and get organized this Holy Week break. I am focusing on my aim to re-energize this blog for the new quarter of the year. A new look and more personal blog shall rise. Another thing is that I'll try to post more interesting and current topics here. I hope you guys will have a nice time observing the Holy Week too.Remember, no meat!

I wont give any heads up, but take my word - This short film is worthy of your 12 minutes.

Buffer it first for fluid run and use Mozilla for internet crying out loud's sake.

The movie is by Patrick Hughes and is under the Coca-Cola brand.

THE BANDWAGON

No one really tagged me for this but I’ve been seeing this in many blogs and I think waiting for a tag is like waiting for Batista to go gay. And so, I’m joining the fad of listing 25 interesting things about our self. In my case, you may not find these things interesting so I would call it 25 things about me that I haven’t mentioned yet in this blog.

Here’s hoping to make it to 25.

1. I was the Editor-in-Chief of my grade school’s publication but never really did the EIC job.

2. I was circumcised with my mom as my support and not my father.

3. I was a member of the Lyre and drum band back in grade school, I played the lead drum.

4. I was awarded 10th honor in pre-school but told my mom that I was top 1, because I was the first one to be called during our rehearsals. It was on a 10 to 1 order.

5. I was a Contra, Battle City and Space Craft addict.

6. Back in high school, my crowd will dine in Mc Donald’s for Sundae carrying our take out from Jollibee, for we think Mc Donald’s is high-end.

7. I was a CAT officer with rank M/Commander S2 Intelligence. Our batch was called Foxtrot Admirals.

8. I love tomato ketchup and I so despise the makers of banana ketchup. It tastes ridiculous.

9. I am a Bench fan. Clothes, accessories, scents, hygiene, undies, hair grooming- all by Bench.

10. I suck at Math.

11. I love the radio. I’ve been listening to Chico and Delamar since high school.

12. I once auditioned for a DJ job in a local radio station.

13. I am a Nanay’s boy.

14. After applying this toner on my face, I use the cotton to clean my chucks.

15. I like reading self help books and practical tips on life, health and money.

16. My dream job is what Tim Yap, GP Reyes and Sarah Black currently joggles.

17. I aim to publish my own books.

18. I want to write, direct and produce my own mainstream movie.

19. I would kill to sit with Oprah, Obama, and the Dalai Lama in a Fall Out Boy concert. Damn that would be priceless.

20. My sister is my financial aid, and I am her charity. Haha

21. I like it when my nephews Sean and Santino play with me. Santino would call me daddy and Sean would always bombard me with a hug every time he sees me arrive in our house from the office.

22. I don’t like dogs, but I would love to own turtles.

23. I am a water person, I could drink lots of water in a day ergo, urinates a lot.

24. A person not replying to my text is a BIG deal.

25. I use the right hand. ( go figure).

W H I T E

White. My most favored color. I feel good whenever I wear white clothes. It’s quite timely for the season, but my liking of it is perpetual i think. Is it not too given with how this blog appears?

White. I have tons of white garments and hygiene articles. I am actually an accidental collector of white towels. I think I couldn’t use a towel that is not white.

White. It depicts clarity. In my job, I always start with blank document. Starting with a clean slate assures unique ideas. Starting with point blank means a great development of thoughts which can inject possibilities of originality.

White is peace of mind. With the way life is structured today, having peace is such a luxury. It’s not easy to gain it, because of the complicated prerequisites.

White is the absence of doubt. A small pinch of dirt can challenge its credibility of being immaculate and pure. This is the mantra I so like with white – the argument is very fluid; its either your white or dirty.
