My stupid external drive

Been trying to make it work for the past 4 hours to no avail... stupid, stupid, stupid. It's time for an RMA and matutulog na ko. Hopefully the online store takes it back without the stupid box.

My modern-day "Grease"



I was reading the papers and saw a review of the new Disney orignal movie "High School Musical". SO I thought, what the heck, not doin anything on the weekend anyway. My ever-so-reliable Torrentspy-Azureus combo did not fail me again so in short, I had a DVR copy of the movie the moment I got back from the gym.
I've always liked musicals and this isn't any different but I can't help but compare it with Grease. The whole high school image protection idea has been used through and through BUT never gets old. The DVD just came out about a week ago and I'm expecting a rip in the next few days. I'd give it a 9.5/10 especially if you're a musical sucker. The songs remind me of Alan Menken which is the true musical genius of Disney. Would definitely recommend this to everyone especially those with 4-6 year olds since it strikes a perfect balance between young parents and their not-so-young kids.



TRIVIA: Knowing Disney, there are no kissing scenes. There was one kiss at the cheek, but that was it.

MORE TRIVIA: Vanessa Anne Hudgens (Gabriella) is half-Filipino

My across-the-river experience

I had the "unfortunate" opportunity of getting dumped last July 4 for a session. It was ok really, I mean it is the first time that I would be shooting fireworks and I didn't think that getting up close and personal with 50-pound explosive shells is an opportune experience. I also didn't want to be in the crowd to I took my chances on a site just across the river in Jersey. It turned out pretty well as I met a few new friends on the same field that I work in, got some free drinks and good company =)

Anyway, here are but a few of my shots (i'm starting to hate my hit-miss ratio... thank God for DSLRs and gigacards)
