It was 1998 or 97? I never got to remember that day but I still remember what happened. I, like any law-abiding citizen of the Philippines, registered myself as a voter at my current barangay(locality where my address is currently located). When the date came up and it was time to vote, me and my cousins went to our respective voting precincts to look for our names at the Official Voters list and also to know where our room assignments were. We reached the gate, I still remember the name of the school, it was Benitez elementary school(because I was a Makati resident). It was my turn to look for my name on the Voters list. I turned to the page where surnames started with N, to my surprise, it was my surname that I found, so slowly looked at the first name to check whether it was mine. Unfortunately the name wasn’t mine. It was another’s. I went on complaining to the one in front of me. I inquired why there was no trace of my name. The name I saw was non-existent. It didn’t even resembled my aunts’ names. Sad to say, up to now this is still happening. Since then(1997 or 98), I hadn’t tried voting. The ones responsible doesn’t believe in karma. History repeats itself(you may call it a vicious cycle).
It’s May 11 and it’s Corbis’s last day visit here in the Philippines. Corbis has no office here in the Philippines, that’s why Alison Tham of Corbis Malaysia came here this week to make her rounds among advertsing agencies here in Pinas. It was her last day of visit today Friday. I got some freebies from Alison such as the official Corbis Images CD with their new Asian Images Collection since there have been requests for Asian people, places and things lately from image subscribers. I also got a calendar, notepad with some stickies. Unfortunately I never got the chance to get that limited edition Spiderman 3 metallic lunchbox kit.
Come Christmas, it’ll be one heckuva job-spree for us here at the office. Lotsa stuff to do for Microsoft, anyhoo, did you guys know that Microsoft will be launching it’s new Operating System this Jan 2007 and it’s nickname will be VIsta. This OS is totally wicked, hey I’m a self-confessed Mac user but I gotta admit Windows Vista may exceed Mac OSX a.k.a Leopard this coming 2007. I got a chance to preview Vista, its got the 3d window flipper feature that replaced the Alt-Tab application switcher. The aero view UI design, which gives every window a semi-opaque(kinda like crystal) effect. well the Start menu’s been rehashed to include a host of other functions such as search. collapsible application menus. To add more fizz to the Windows Viz, they even added Gadgets. You’d be more familiar to it if your a Mac user. On the Mac Gagdets are called Widgets. Well, at least I can say Mac did it first, hehhehehhehe. la lang share ko lang. 
Hay Naku!!! Grabe talaga, up until now meron pa rin pong rally along Enterprise - Paseo de Roxas
Konbanwa !!
It sometimes is stressing to work your hearts out. I really enjoy working, its my social life, hehehehe. to me, the line between working and having a social life is indeed blurred. Heheheh, I treat working as a social life, heck its my only life. What am I saying? I’m completely freaked out influenced by alcohol as I write. One of my officemates is about to leave the company and right now she’s holding her despedida. We’re surtely gonna miss her. The very cowboy, Vicky. One of the most honest and very down-to-earth person I’ve met in tyhis company.
There’s plenty of beer in the smoking room and lotsa chicks to boot, well unfortunately, some of them are already taken, hehehhee. too bad. 
Anyways, Lord knows when and when I’ll strike gold. It doesn’t neccessarily come true if you ain’t doin a thing about it.^_^’
To all my friends out there reading this, wala lang feel ko lang sabihin to.
Bwehehewhehhehehehheheheh ^_^’
Enjoy your weekend everybody. Power to the people.
Well, I’m off to burn lungs. tataa!!! ^_^’

Briefing set on alternative fuel |
| Use your coconut. This will be the rallying point of experts when they orient (April 11, 2005, 8:00a.m.) local advocates for cleaner air on the practicality of pushing alternative and environmentally safer transport fuel.The briefing, set at the multi-purpose center of city hall, will focus on coconut methyl ester (CME) which some local jeepney drivers are now mixing with regular diesel fuel to improve their engine performance and contribute to lessening pollution through exhaust emissions.
Members of the media, marketing and technical committees of the newly established Baguio Clean Cities Coalition, will attend the briefing to help them in their advocacy to promote biodiesel use in public and private transport here Rafael Diaz, managing director of the Asian Institute of Petroleum Studies, will present a paper on CME diesel technology while director Teresita Borra of the Energy Utilization Management Bureau of the Philippine Department of Energy will give an update on the alternative fuels program in the country. Councilor Erdolfo Balajadia, oversight coordinator of the local coalition will open the forum to be graced by SEDP country director Divina Chungcuanco, while coalition working coordinator Perfecto Itliong will present an update on the local initiatives. City environment and parks management officer-in-charge Josephine Chan will share the local government’s experience on the use of CME after which a testing demonstration will be done at the local Petron Station. The pitch for CME and other biodiesel use here was made in February last year by Prof. Rey Hizon of the Technological University of the Philippines and Robert Albes of the Philippine Coconut Authority during a forum. The growing concern for cleaner air was triggered by news reports the other year that Baguio had become the most polluted city in the country due to vehicle smoke emission. The report was based on a World Bank study. The Environmental Management Bureau, whose exhaust monitoring was used in the WB report, however, denied the news, saying that “the ambient air quality in Baguio is within the good to fair condition”. “CME is safe, biodegradable and reduces serious air pollutants such as soot, particulates, carbon dioxide, hydrocarbons and air toxics,” Hizon noted. Albes also said tests on 15 PCA vehicles with their diesel fuel blended with only one percent of CME showed a reduction of around 50 percent in their smoke emissions. Another test conducted at the Nihon University in Japan proved that blends of one, five, 10 and 20 percent of CME on low sulfur diesel resulted in a 70 percent reduction of particulate mater from exhaust emission. While admitting that CME is presently more costly than petrol fuel, Hizon stressed that mixing it increases mileage to one to two kilometer per liter, translating into savings of 91 centavos to P2.85 for every liter of diesel. Hizon also allayed the apprehension raised by some jeepney drivers that their engines might be damaged by their shift to CME, a point bolstered by drivers who are using the coconut derivative. . “Using biodiesel actually extends the life of your diesel engine because of its superior lubricating and cleaning properties,” he said. “Since it is oxygenated (22 percent by weight), the result is an almost perfect combustion (that) means lesser emission compared to pure diesel fuel.” Increasing use of CME, which is renewable energy, will help stabilize the domestic price of copra and encourage farmers to increase their production to uplift their economic life, Hizon added. Albes noted the country has 3.5 million coconut farmers, with 25 million directly or indirectly dependent on the industry. About 27 percent of the agricultural land, or 3.1 million hectares, is planted to coconut, estimated to be over 324 million trees. The country’s annual coconut oil production is placed at 1.414 billion liters, about only 20 percent of its annual petrodiesel demand of seven billion liters. In the United States, biodiesel is used in blends of five to 20 percent while France provides by law a five percent blend. The US has 81 active coalitions promoting use of alternative fuels in the transpor sector, with 151,000 vehicles using biodiesel made available by over 6,000 alternative fueling stations. Tomorrow’s forum is sponsored by the Sustainable Energy Development Program, the United States Agency for International Development and Department of Energy through the Philippine Clean Cities Program. – Ramon Dacawi. -30- |

Well, today’s Sunday, May 9th of 2005. This is the last day of resting for me. I’m on to embark on a new journey to the land of Meuriksha, where the pink skies rolls on the orange mountainsides and the sea flows smoothly always with grace. Tomorrow will be May 10th of 2005, It’ll be a New Day for me as I cross the land of "Was" and into "Is". to put it metaphorically, hehehehe. ^_^’
This is my first blog for the year 2005. Many things have happened. So much stigma has aroused my senses. My mind is in a whirl, no air, no breathing space, i’m trapped in a bubble and yet able to escape it’s gravity. The last day for me at 25by8 was Last Friday, April 29,2005. It was really sad for me to leave them though. They’ve been like a family to me now. Just as I was getting to know them more a better opportunity pops in. This is what the guys at Arc gave me, a chance to uncover my potentials as a creative. Honestly advertising was my first love, web was my second haven. If I were to choose between the two, I’d say they’re equal to me. One reason over the other, Print was,is and will be here. Web is, and will be the future. Web offers so many potentials for creativity within the confines of cyberspace. Print, like web has limitation too. So thats whay I’ve treated them both as brothers and not enemies. I’d like to explore my bloodline limit more. To extract my innermost creative juices if there is such a thing. ^_^’ Kaizen!!
