Call Me Xander

Photo borrowed from www.igersmanila.com I am an Instagram user and I know a lot of you are too. But have you heard about the global community of Filipino Instagram'ers (or IGers / ay-ji-ers). They share and tell stories behind the snapshots through #IGersmanila and #9pmhabit on Instagram. They've been meeting regularly through Instameet but its only now that IGers have there own Photo Exhibit sponsored by Globe . The 1st Philippine Instagram Photo Exhibit was held at Gloriette 4 Cinema Lobby yesterday (November 30, 2012 at 10PM) and will run until today (December 1, 2012). The group will showcase different photos creatively snapped and filtered by select Globe IGers and members of Circle of Snapshooters #iCoss taken during their photowalk session at Luneta Park, Bonifacio Global City, Intramuros, and Manila Bay. The second day of the exhibit also culminates its 11th Philippine Instameet. Its their way of getting the chance and opportunity to meet face to face and...

Adik sayo - Not the song! Dahil sa wala akong trabaho ng mahigit isang buwan na, ay ninais ko na manatili muna sa aking tahanan at magpahinga. Hmm.. Bawi na rin ito sa ilang buwang stress sa dating trabaho. At dahil sa sobrang board ako eh wala akong ibang mapaglibangan kundi ang aking cellphone. Kalikot. Kalikot. Kalikot. Hanggang sa panasin ko ang isang icon. TING! Oo yan ang icon na sinasabi ko. Para saan yan? Hmm. I think you know it already. Ang instagram ang isang application. Kung may smartphones ka (iPhone, iPad, iPod touch or Androi phone) pwede mo itong idownload para malaman mo. Joke! Ang instagram ay isang apps na pwede kang mag share ng mga larawan tapos edit mo lang at lagyan ng filters.. and then pwede mo itong i-share sa ibat-ibang networking sites gaya ng facebook, twitter, foursquare, tumblr at kung anong ka ek-ekan pa. I check nyo na lang. Adik ako sa instagram. Adik lang sa pag filter ng mga pictures at mas lalong nakaka-adik kapag may nagka...

I finally gave in... I finally bought a DSLR camera. Why bought a DSLR? Wala lang.. gusto ko lang.. May reklamo ka? Hahaha..Joke! Anyways, after taking some samples I am very pleased and satisfied with it. Not that heavy and its very handy. This is a beginner camera from Nikon. Secret na lang ang model. Nakakahiya naman baka may magsabi na bakit ito binili ko dapat yung mahal. Eh ito lang kaya ng pera ko. Waahhh... Ok, here you go. Heto yung mga kuha ko. No edits. No photoshop. No lightroom. Not Yet ! I'll just post the very first few pictures that I took. Para at least alam ko kung may pagbabago ba sa kuha ko in the coming days. Parang Project 365 lang diba.  This is the very first shot I had. The moment I take the camera out of the box, my very first subject is our our salt water aquarium. That's Survivor (Tomato Clown fish). Why Survivor? Dahil sa dami ng isda ang nilagay sa aquarium na yan... Siya lang ang nabuhay. Medyo mahiyain pa siya sa lagay na yan. Kaya pag ...

     Have you ever received a text message from someone you don't know asking for a load or your personal information? Did you received a text message telling you that you won in a lottery or a raffle from a company and that you need to call or send your own personal information? Are you a victim of these bogus attack from peoople who wants to get victimize innocent people like us?      The world is so cruel for those people who are not vigilant enough in safeguarding our property, personal information and even our life. We need to be very watchful as there are people who will try to do anything just to get what they want.       The latest attack that a lot of us are encountering right now is what we called SMishing . This is the latest Phishing attack that uses text messages (SMS) to get personal information on cell phones and mobile devices.  It derives from SMS + Phishing = SMishing . ...

     Umaga na at mataas na ang sikat ng araw ng ako'y nagising kaninang umaga. Naisip ko na 11Am ako papasok ngayon kasi may Christmas party naman kasi sa opisina. Masaya ang pakiramdam ko at medyo masigasig na pumasok sa work. Since Christmas party namin ngayon naisipan kung dumaan sa pinakamalapit na Starbucks upang bumili ng gift check dahil sa wala na akong time mamili ng pang exchange gift sa sobrang busy sa work. Sa totoo lang, hindi naman talaga ako mahilig mamigay ng regalo. Hindi dahil sa wala akong pambili or dahil sa kuripot ako, pero dahil sa hindi naman talaga kami nag cecelebrate ng pasko. Naniniwala kasi ako na ang pasko ay araw-araw. Ang exchange gift ay hindi sapilitan kundi bukal sa loob. Pero dahil sa tradisyon na ito nating mga Pinoy, game na din ako!      Paglabas ko sa Starbucks, dama ko ang sarap ng simoy ng hangin. Sa unang pagkakataon ngayon ko lang naramdaman ang simoy ng pasko. Napangiti ako at bumulong ng ma...

     I think that life would be much better and easier if we use some CTRL+ keys. Like for example, when we commit mistakes, I can use CTRL + Z so I can go back and make it right. Or maybe CTRL + X So I can cut any negative about myself or my life. Maybe, I can also use CTRL +esc, so I can start and do it all over again.       Then, I realized that too much into technology is not also good. I am not an anti-technology or something, but come to think of it, way way before technology starts to boom life is not that complicated. Maybe you will understand fully by looking at these pictures forwarded to me by a friend.       Looks funny right? But true! try mo! Hehehehe...
