Great News on ST Website Competition

A much-needed change of schedule has been announced in our company today: The ST website competition has been extended up to January 10, 2011 instead of December 10, 2010. That means, we are still given more time in tweaking and improving our website entries. So, I do hope we can still develop Cebu Web Portal for the win! Or at least, for the consolation prize maybe? I'm aware that all competitors are doing their best despite our busy schedules, so for everyone, we are all winners. 

Congratulations in advance! Yohhoooh!!!

Wedding Blast of Oskar Kyle and Julie Ann

The wedding I attended yesterday was a blast! I've known the couple some years back and I'm equally excited for both of them. The groom particularly, was one of my buddies during that phase of my life: late night drinking, laag-laag everywhere and chicks-staring whenever we happen to see one or several hot gurls on the street. And it's so nice to see that he is now one with his lady-lebie.

But, I'm still waiting for the pics so we have to wait for a full account of their Special Day, okay? 

Meanwhile, to honour the celebration of "Eid Al Fitr" of our Muslim brothers, enjoy your holiday guys!

ST Website Competition

WEBSITE COMPETITION! WEBSITE COMPETITION! WEBSITE COMPETITION!

The phrase keeps going through my mind as I was going home that day. The announcement that we (our company) will be having a website competition filled me with excitement. What, exactly should I make as an entry? The first that came to mind is of course, Cebu travel, since this is the topic I'm most comfortable about. But what new stuff do I offer? Considering the extent of the niche, will I be able to tackle it? The mechanics says it must be SEO-friendly and we have to be composed of a group of 4 from various departments: a designer, a coder, a writer (that's me) and in my group's case, an analyst (good old, Kesh Parker). After looking for partners, it turned out to be a 2-member group only since most of the designers have been taken by other groups. We brainstormed for a unique niche to start with, what features to include, what will be the general approach of the site and the overall navigation as well. So, we pushed for a Cebu travel site anyway and yes, it is now in its early stages. 

I christened the site CWP (its initials), and like every competition, I'm hoping as in hope that we somehow tickle the judges' fancy and get the most votes plenty enough to have a place in the contest. This is actually the reason why I can be found tinkering with the Web late at night- researching for our new baby site. And while doing the research, I'm blogging on the side! 

Isn't it awesome? I'm giving it the run now that's 2010 is coming to an end because one of my resolutions this year was to blog as much as I can. Hope I could catch up!

LYRICS
Verse:
Tell me do you think itd be all right
If I could just crash here tonight
You can see Im in no shape for driving
And anyway Ive got no place to go

And you know it might not be that bad
You were the best Id ever had
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might not be alone

CHORUS:
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy


And you can trust me not to think
And not to sleep around
If you dont expect too much from me
You might not be let down

Cause all I really want is to be with you
Feeling like I matter too
If I hadnt blown the whole thing years ago
I might be here with you

CHORUS:
Tomorrow we can drive around this town
And let the cops chase us around
The past is gone but something might be found
To take its place...hey jealousy

She took my heart
Theres only one thing I couldnt start

Harry Potter and The Deathly Hallows Coming Soon!

Wow, the long wait is gonna be over as the 7th Harry Potter book(Part 1) will be released on film come November. Will it be worth it? I know, this is just one of the many questions that avid fans are anticipating to justify. I have long been a fan of this J.K. Rowling masterpiece and I have favoured, Order of the Phoenix more than the others. However, when I saw the thriller of The Deathly Hallows, the same juicy, mouth-watering excitement gripped me. There and then, I know I have to be the first to watch this movie. And yes, the HP spell that has long ago been casted into my being has came back. Whew, this feeling of excitement is somewhat making me pee!

So, watch out for a bewitchin' review , folks!

Meanwhile, delight yourself with The Deathly Hallows video.
