Long time... no post...

Been that long huh?

I have been very busy on our thesis and system and just trying to tidy up my school papers. I have been busy with my "sort of new" job. I recently got hired by Harte-Hanks Manila as a Helpdesk Associate (I used to work for them when it was Ambergris/Telus as a Practicioner for the IBM account). I don't know how it will turn out, but they responded and processed my application very quick so I took the job.

Alas my "new" job might restrict me from going to events especially Film Festivals this year... But I really need the money and if things work out I'll be back in the Film Festival circuits by next year. I'm back in the loop of the hectic corporate salary man life. I still have a three year plan and hopefully it works.

Time to do my best in this stint and hopefully I can get into film festivals this year with my schedule.

Team Fortress 2: MVM Coaltowan Zombie Event Map: 2nd Completion!

The 6th International Silent Film Festival Manila

It's that time of the year again - the only Silent Film Fest in Asia! This year I did what a proper film fest goer should do - RSVP tickets. This year USA joined in the fray and boy they'd put an exclamation point to the event. This Festival is easily my favorite next to Eiga-Sai (Japan). This time I had friends (first timers) to experience this amazing mix of two art forms, and they weren't disappointed. I hope many more will get to see this amazing event enthusiasts or not.

Goosehouse

I

Last year as I was browsing around YouTube for some videos, I stumbled upon this awesome troupe called Goosehouse. They do great cover or copy of Japanese Pop and Rock with a slight acoustic/unplugged setup. They have a wide library of videos on their YouTube channel and I turned into a huge fan of theirs.

The first video I've seen from them was a cover of Shiina Ringo's Ariamaru Tomi which was used for the TV Drama Smile.

And Carpenter's Top of the World

Finally my favorite original of theirs
