Stuff Toys and my Sister

These are stuff toys left by my sister when she went to Hong Kong. It's still in our room and is still taking space. I wanted to place them in a storage space so that I would be able to move freely but all storage spaces are currently occupied by my sister's clothes. In conclusion, it stays.

Leftmost Top: I gave that big pillow paw to my sister on Christmas 3 yrs ago. I can't think of other things to give her. Since it was cheap and looked liked of high quality plus its a safe gift to women, I bought it.
Rightmost: That pink stuff toy was sold at a discount for all the gifts that I bought. I purchased it and gave it to my sister on her birthday last last year. XD

Food and Fingers

Sometimes, when your eating, there are parts of the food that resemble something. Because I was bored, I decided to do something with the pork tail. Hek hek hek. The dish is Pork Sinigang.

Mini Project #2

Photographing a Firefly

This firefly stumbled in my room. I remembered reading something that fireflies don't live long. Also, since they don't come often inside the house and I was in the mood of taking photos, I took the chance of capturing it and placing it inside the vial. Here's the result!

Don't Eat More Than You Can Chew

Lizard VS Grasshopper

Saw this lizard trying to consume its grasshopper meal but it was too big. It was holding it in its mouth for some time. Eventually it got tired and let it go. The grasshopper managed to survive the ordeal.

Mini Project

Last year, I decided to start a mini project on how to preserve stuff.
I looked for resources on how to preserve flowers and leaves that will only have a minimal effect on the color of the objects. With enough effort, I found out that the best preservative is Silica Gel. The next problem was finding a retailer. Unfortunately, I can't find one that sells it in powdered form so I had to improvise. I bought it in pellet form and crushed it to powder. Upon further research, I found out that what I did was dangerous since the small particles can get into your lungs and have harmful effects. Nonetheless, I was able to produce something.

If I remember correctly, I tried preserving these flowers for 9 months more or less.
I gave these to Jesse before she left for SG.

College Video

Back in 2005 or 2004, two org-mates of mine made a video with me as one of the actors.

Chowking Tiger teaser v2

This is a low quality video which I downloaded from youtube. The original copy is with the owner. I don't know if he still has it.

Weird Insect

I saw this insect(s) while I was studying. I was bored and it was the first time I saw these things so I took a video.

Celebrity Crush

Regine Angeles
We went to Robinson's Galleria to have her autograph and get a picture taken with her. Unfortunately the line was already too long when we arrived and we didn't make the cut. So we just waited and took a video of other people who were getting their photos taken with her. Imagine the envy.

 June 07, 2011 - Robinson's Galleria

Regine Angeles was really kind. After the activity, she still signed other people's magazines even if they didn't make the cut. I was actually shy at first but I still managed to get her autograph. I was the last one to get it.

THE GREATEST ADVICE

I was organizing my mail and stumbled upon an old email that I sent. Showed this message to a friend way back in 2007.

UP Diliman, College of Engg. Miss Engineering 2003

A CURSOR applicant was looking for pictures of the only CURSOR candidate that won 1st place during the Miss Engineering pageant of 2003. I actually suggested that mission to a member thinking that those pictures were still available online. As time passed, those websites that had those pictures have closed down and picture-hosting websites have deleted albums of accounts that never generated revenue. Since this guy had a hard time finding the pictures I decided to try and find it on my way. Apparently, there were really no more records left as far as I know. Luckily, I backed up those souvenir CDs during CURSOR week that contained some of those pictures. So, here are the pictures of our Miss CURSOR (Kenneth Oliver Gallo) candidate and the only member that won 1st place during MS.Engineering 2003.

He transformed from this:

Hope this blog site doesn't close down.

PS. And oh yeah, I also stumbled on a picture of Wawel Lim. (Could be his talent's night costume)
