Michelle and I we’re on the way to Tagaytay for a photo shoot when we heard over the radio that Pacquiao won. On the second round, no less. Soon as I got home, I downloaded the fight. It helped that the coverage was only for two round so in just a short while I was already watching the fight. What can I say? Pacquiao was awesome! He literally demolished Hatton. He just keeps getting better and better.
When I first heard the term, “pre-nup” from Crissy,I thought was referring to a pre-nuptial agreement between her and then-fiance Jimmy. I was surprised because I thought it was something reserved only for the mega-rich. I turned out that she was referring to a pre-wedding photo shoot. Kinda made sense :P
When I saw the results, during their wedding reception, as well as in others’, I was mightily unimpressed. The objective, it seemed to me, was to capture a regular day in the life of the engaged couple. But for some reason, there was something wrong and it looked fake… staged. I resolved back then that I won’t have anything to do with it.
Fast forward to now when Michelle and I just finished our own “pre-nup” shoot (guess who wanted the shoot and who agreed out of love :P). I was scanning through the photos and recalled how, during the shoot, the photographer and the videographer were making us do poses we wouldn’t do in reality. They were awkward, uncomfortable, and just plain off. That, I think, is why the photos looked fake and staged.
Something to watch out for when I shoot “pre-nups” :P
I first learned about GMABooster from YugaTech. It’s a utility for speeding up the Intel GMA 950 graphics chip, which happens to be the graphics chip of my Asus EEE PCs (as well as most other netbooks). But unfortunately, the first time I downloaded it, it doesn’t seem to launch at all. I tried installing and reinstalling it as well as the .NET framework (yeech!) to no avail. Last night, I tried it again by downloading the latest version and it finally worked. I can now speed up the clock speed from the default 166Mhz to a whopping 400MHz. It’s no GeForce but higher detail levels is now possible with DOTA. Not bad for a free download.
I tried cooking sinigang again tonight. Michelle wasn’t around so I had to do it on my own. I followed the instructions from our sinigang recipe. But somehow it just didn’t come out right. Worse, I overcooked it and everything turned mushy.
