DOST-ASEAN Foundation MoA Signing

Thursday, May 29, 2008

28 May 2008 was the Signing Ceremony for the Memorandum of Agreement between the Department of Science of Technology and the Association of South East Asian Nations (ASEAN) Foundation held at Shangri-la Makati Hotel, our office became the secretariat for that event and I was obviously assigned to handle the technical stuff needed for the event (i.e. laptops, projectors, presentations, camera's and other equipments needed for the event). I also served as the photographer for our office, and I have been part of a number of events before but I can say this was one of those events that went pretty smoothly despite the meager time alloted for the preparation of the event, I was told about the signing two days before the event.

This was a rather small but very significant event, because this event assured the financial assistance of the ASEAN foundation to the 8th ASEAN Science and Technology Week (ASTW) to be held here in the Philippines this July 1 to 11 . the 8th ASTW is a very big event for the Science Community in the Philippines and within the ASEAN region.

BTW our office will also be handling the 8th ASTW so this event was a big help to us, for more info about the 8th ASTW, you can visit the URL http://8th-astw.dost.gov.ph

AKA: Archangel

Tuesday, April 29, 2008

Its been a while since i'v been using the Alias Archangel on-line, I use it in my email adds, titles and character names, maybe I should write something about it.

It started during Highschool, it was the advent of Massively Multi Role Playing Games (MMRPG) before it took the O for Online in MMORPG, eniways, the games were Star Craft and Diablo, those games which I still play until today, started my life with the PC.

First was Diablo, damn that game was awesome during those days, we played after class, and me and my friends would build a party and choose a character of choice. I choose the Barbarian, very muscular, very strong, all out attack character, and what was his name, you guessed it, Archangel. Now why did I take this name, well, honestly I'm not really sure but maybe it was because I really like the wings of angels and I always thought archangels were God's elite. And being an angel It has a sort of divinity and power that I really could not explain.

Then star craft, which ever side I choose my name would still be archangel, and from then on I'm using that alias on line up until now. Now, why archangel, simple, I just find it cool...

Tuna Con Crackers

Monday, April 28, 2008

Now, I said I was looking for a nice partner of my beer, and I've got a good one, now some may say, eewww, or yuuukkk, or anything you guys want to say I believe some people already know this and it is great, what you do is get a nice can of Tuna, I prefer the spicy one, I think its like 100 grams or so, I'm not really sure, but standard can that you see in your local grocery store will do put it in a bowl, Microwave for about a minute or so, then dump enough crackers to make it a bit dry. Now, what the crackers do is it sip's all that oil, then just mix it all together while its hot.

It tastes great, and a nice partner for beer to, or any alcoholic drink you want. You should try it, I would'nt have the nerve to post it if it makes me sick, honestly...

Beer

There are times when man just needs to get away from it all, or just needs to bond with fellow men, and what better way to do that is to have a nice cold bottle or can of beer. Some may disagree but since i work for the Department of Science and Technology, I've heard that a bottle of light beer might be good for you, Their still finalizing the study but hey, its a good start.

I'm just an occasional drinker and I personally don't see anything wrong with it as long as you know what your doing and your not overdoing things...if you know what i mean..

Now what your seeing here is a nice big glass of ice cold beer, it's just light so i don't get much carbohydrates, well, that's what they say, but honestly I just like it coz' its not too bitter if it's not cold anymore.

Just remember, drinking isn't really bad, as long as you know what you are doing, responsible and not overdoing yourself, we don't want to spend money buying beer and then throw it up afterwards, I find it a waste of money, time and precious beer. Now for a while I was looking for a nice partner and I found a good one, its a called Tuna con crackers, you'll know this one on the next blog..

Blogging: something to think about...

Saturday, April 26, 2008

Now what...

thats the first thing in my mind while writing this blog...well it's just Ive started blogging since 2005 or even as late as 2003 in as simple as trying to post my thoughts or any thoughts in the web, but i cant seem to know why...

Well, I don't get any money even comments in blogging, I've signed in to numerous sites that offer blogs and a bit of interaction to the rest of the universe but, I still cant seem to think on any reason why I'm doing this...Sometimes i want to do something else like something that would actually let me earn that might even be enough to buy me a piece of candy...

But i still want to be optimistic, maybe blogging is a way on how i express my freedom to say what i want and how i want to say it...it might not be always dramatic nor artistic not even enticing, but still it has a bit of sense, well for me at least, and its an outlet. Now, i know its better to talk to someone face to face but the thing is, you cant tell them everything freely, just an example when your telling your sad story he or she cuts you from your mumbling and tells his or her own sad story...see it sucks, for me i'd really want to tel that person, "heyy dude would you mind, im crying out here, me first..." duh!!!...people can sometimes be so insensitive.

but here, you just type your way out, until some guy is willing enough to take the risk of actually listing to you...that is if anybody is willing, if not, well at least you've told the world your side of the story...It's not your fault if nobody wants to listen, or in this case, read.
