Friday night party

Our boss decided to celebrate his birthday in advance and he wanted it by the beach just a few meters away from our office. It's unusual because he often held his birthday inside the office and prepared snacks for our department. This time he wanted to prepare a dinner for our group and to make it more fun, we also contributed a little amount to add some food for the party. It was a short party but we all have fun. I hope there will be more party to come...

The famous Philippine action star Rudy Fernandez passed away this morning due to cancer.

Fernandez starred in 65 films throughout his career, the last being the 2002 film “Huli Mo, Huli Ko.” He had since appeared in the television docudrama “Kasangga,” the sitcom “Da Boy and Da Girl,” and the soap “Twin Hearts.” His last project, “Atlantika” was aired in 2006.

He is a winner of two FAMAS best actor trophies for the 1984 film “Batuigas...Pasukuin si Waway” and the 1988 “Victor Corpus” biopic and one Film Academy of the Philippines best actor plum for “Batuigas.”

The Philippine Movie Press Club recently gave Fernandez the 2008 Ulirang Artista Lifetime Achievement Award.

Making SMS free

In the Philippines, a certain government official proposed that short messaging service (SMS) be free of charge. But many officials opposed his proposal because it will lead to system crash for communication companies. Free SMS will be abused and can be used also by lots of politicians, advertising companies and even entrepreneurs. Eventually, the system will be clogged then lead to crash. Currently, SMS service is at Php 1.00 per message and can be lower because communication companies have lots of schemes and promotional packages.

Long Trip!

It's gonna be a tough day tomorrow. We will be having a work presentation at our affiliates about 300kms away. It's a long drive and we decided to switch driving with my boss to lessen the driving stress, we will be back right away after our presentation.

American Idol

I don't have an update on this show lately. My last update was the eviction of Ramiel Malubay, she did not performed well that time. But she's good enough to be included in the finalist of the American Idol. Filipinos really excel and I am proud of them who mark their names worldwide.
