Nicolini's

I went to Nicolini's for Su-jin's birthday dinner last saturday and I was finally able to take a pic of the lambshanks. This would have been perfect if I was able to get hold of some rice.... Anyway, it kinda reminded me of Asterix or those movies set in medieval times.

Spookers

I went to Spookers last Saturday along with some friends from work. There were only 2 attractions, the '3D Vortex' and the 'Evil Corn Maize Maze'. The '3D Vortex was kinda cool but 'Evil Corn' wasn't really scary because there were 7 of us in the group. It didn't help that I accidentally dropped my camera off a bridge and the 'ghost' offered to get it for me. :P
I have to admit that I was surprised a few times and intimidated as well because for some reason, a lot of the 'ghosts' singled me out and hounded me.

Weight Loss IV: The Final Ultimate Chapter

I'm down to 65kgs (145 lbs) now. Next stop, abs. Yep you read it right.... I want the 'six pack'! If I'm going to hit the beaches of Boracay and Palawan this December, I need to have the 'washboard
abs'. It would definitely go well with my 'see thru' white Speedo... ;)

3D Gurus

I really enjoy it when I see my friends being featured in interviews. It makes me feel... proud, I guess. :P Mostly, I already know their take on things but reading about them makes it more 'real'. Am I making sense? Anyway, I was planning on showing links for 3 people but it seems I can only find 2 (the kakosa link is non-existent anymore).

This is a link to an interview with Marco Di Lucca, Senior Modeler here at Weta (and my ping pong instructor!) He's a die hard Softimage guy who's been using Maya for the past 2 years. ;)

And this one is for Lernie Ang. We went to the same college (Fine Arts, UP Diliman) and I was one of the 3 'assholes' who interviewed him at Underground Logic when he applied for a job. We liked, him we hired him and I had the privilege of working with him during my last days in Manila. He's a Lightwave master and is using both Maya and Lightwave (well mostly Lightwave now) for the work he does at Riot. Inc.

Pinoy in NZ

I've always wanted to have a blog where I can share my misadventures in NZ with my friends from the Philippines. Now, I finally got around to doing it. It's not much but it's a start.

It's also on my links tab on the right (My Kiwi-Pino Site).

Disclaimer - you probably won't understand what the heck I'm talking about if you don't speak filipino.

Weight Loss 3

Ok so now it's down to 70 kilos. I wish Rainer was back .... at this rate I'll be 65 by Monday and I would look like a wimp. I could start eating again but I could go over 73 easily. I'm an expert at losing weight but maintaining it is a different story :P

Weight Loss Part 2

Yup, Basketball did it. I'm officially 10 kilos less than what I weighed last January 23. It's probably mostly water but it's still 10 kilos. It's weird how I thought I was stuck at 74 kilos for more than a week. I checked my weight last night and it was still 74 but when I checked it again when I woke up in the morning it was down to 72.5.
Now the hard part is maintaining it till Rainer comes back from his holiday.
