Sound check

I was browsing through our corporate website yesterday and I found out that there’s our branch in Baguio City (where I finished college) is in need of frontline officers. It just crossed my mind, what if I transferred there? Suddenly, I missed the city where I grew up emotionally and I would like to believe psychologically.

I miss college life. Those sleepless nights we had preparing for our broadcast productions. How we embraced to be goofs improvising sound effects when there are limited resources just to please our professor.

Students and production crew nowadays are very lucky because they could readily Download Sounds from the internet. The sound effects in WAV, MIDI and other multimedia format make it easy for the production people to give dramatic effect to their plays, shows, concerts movies etc. Even cell phone ringtones can be purchased online. Categories now not just limited to animals or insects or thunderstorms. The horizon has been broadened from interface sounds, natural ambience to transitions and movements upto Sci-Fi and fantasy.

These sounds are mixed in genius fashion so it appears pretty natural and at some point enigmatic.

Yay, so I got carried away, because I tried the free ElectroRock sound. It’s a combination of Rock elements combined with Electronic dance music. It’s really cool!

From small files to larger than life ones can be procured safely and conveniently on the word wide web.

Weekend Snapshots



Global warming really makes the summer hotter.
With the heat so unbearable, my nieces took a "plunge" in the make shift tubs.

I wish I could also do the same.
Have a great week everyone!

Deal with it

Alopecia or hair loss is a serious problem a person has to deal with. There are so many predisposing factors to this condition such as genetic, stress, chemicals and so many more.

Unless you could sport a skin head fabulously and look like Natalie Portman in V for Vendetta, you have to act at once even if your hair has just started to fall off your nut shell. Either you prevent further damage or make them re-grow.

While we could treat the cause of the hair loss at one point or another, it is a screaming truth that we attend to the need of our crowning glory.

Check on the Hair Loss Product that would best address this problem. Herbal treatments are now accepted as alternative form of medicine since they bring safe and efficient therapy to almost any type of health condition including hair loss problem.

If you are still uncertain which product will work for you then go ask around. There are independent entities that do intensive review of the hair loss products for men and women that guarantee their safety, efficiently and affordability.

The top three on the recent review were: Provillus, Procerin and Advicia.

Which are available over the counter.

If you are still uncertain, get a help online.

Freaky Sunday

I don't know if it's hilarious or hideous. It was my gazillionth trip to the comfort room to empty my bladder in the office today. To reach the CR from the operations floor you have to pass though a swinging door and a glass door. The latter requires an ID to get in or out. Once the door is opened, it should be closed in a minute or so otherwise it would alarm. So as i tapped my ID to the sensor, the door clicked and as I pushed the door, it was removed from the hinge! OMG!
I was holding onto the doorknob and I can't let go because the door will fall. Then the alarm went off. I was holding the door, the high-pitched alarm is defeaning me and my bladder was about to explode. Just imagine the look in my face. I want to cover my ears, I want to sit down but I cant let go of the door.
No one's passing by so i cannot call for help. The people in the pantry nearby didn't seem to hear the alarm. Thank goodness someone finally passed by after five minutes. I asked to call the guard for help.
So I got a handful of people holding the door for me which was still attached to the last hinged. It cannot be pushed or let go of.
Alas, the utility man came after another couple of minutes and the rest is history.
I was able to make it to the loo, okay? I have a good bladder control.
I just had to let a few minutes pass before the tinnitus fade.

Please catch my disease

Health is wealth but at times, no matter how careful we are in terms of what we eat and what we do, illness strikes like a thief in the night.

It’s always best to get health insurance so we will be assured that there is one that would back us up when we catch a disease.

One of the reasons I don’t get health insurance is that I do not want to be bothered my insistent insurance agents. I mean I want to get the best offers but I don’t want to be stalked by these agents.

With the ever evolving trading systems in terms of products and services, it is a heaven to learn that anything you need to know about a health insurance company can be accessed online. You don’t have to hop from one website to another and go nuts comparing the Health Insurance Rates each company has to offer.

Affordable health insurance quotes can be done for you in just a few clicks on the mouse for free. Preparing for health battles need to be expensive when there are choices that would match your health insurance needs. But preparation needs to be started before illness takes its toll on anyone.

PhotoHunt - Time


It's great to be back after two weeks of hiatus.
To make up, I have two entries for the week's theme:


This time piece has been around since circa '40s and it still works. Time indicated there how late Mitch went home from chillin' out with friends.



The last two were taken from the office window on May 1.
May 1 is a non-working holiday for "normal" people. It's Labor Day. The time of the year dedicated to Filipino laborers and they are given a day off from work.
Since call center dudes are not "normal" we were in the office.
May is supposed to be summertime but it rained.
And another thing, it's a belief that the first rain in the month of May cures so it's the most awaited time of the year for the old folks who want to get healed. Either they frolic in the rain or just catch some water from the sky or from the gutter and make use of it.

Creating your own

It’s summer time! My favorite time of the year because it means sports festival, summer camps and other outdoor recreational activities. Isn’t it cool to see people packed wearing cool shirts designed and made specifically in tune with the occasion?

Getting Custom T Shirts design is as easy as 1-2-3 because this can now be done online. Design your own galleries will now allow you to do the mix and match in terms of colors, t-shirt sizes and designs or if you are not that into details, just go for the ready made ones .

SonicShack is about providing the best Ts and Banners to design on through their readily available templates. You could get them printed or e-mailed to your friends, classmates or colleagues ASAP so you could decide on what best suits you. In a rush? Choose advanced shipping so you can be wearing your art or logo in days.

This is just perfect because Mother’s Day is coming near. If you have not thought of what to give her on her special day, try making a personalized one. She’ll be delighted for sure. She’s our biggest fan, isn’t she?

I have to go now because I am trying to design my work of art. We need shirts and caps for our sportsfest.

As a Project Runway reject wannabe I need to wow them with my fabulous design.
