Held at the Waterfront Hotel & Casino, the event registration started at 6:00PM with a dinner buffet. The program started with an opening remark from the Chairman of the Philippine Amusement and Gaming Corporation. PAGCOR was the main sponsor of the said event. There was a live band for entertainment while the bloggers mingle and socialize, and two gaming tables were opened for the Baccarat contest. Here are some random shots from the event, more pictures here.

The Skinny: Maverick cop Max Payne (Mark Wahlberg) is on a mission to find the man who murdered his wife and son. While Payne spends much of this brooding flick wandering around a snow-ridden New York City and encountering the supernatural, it finally takes the help of mysterious Russian broad Mona Sax (Mila Kunis), some hallucinatory drugs, and a ton of bullet shells to find out who done it.

The Good: Aesthetically, Max Payne is on point. By combining the urban noire of Sin City with the slow-motion action sequences of the Matrix (plus adding a dab—and we use this word liberally—of realism) the flick feels like some kind of action-packed dreamscape.

The Bad: This is a painfully predictable movie. Twists and turns that are intended to be clever can be seen for miles, rendering the epic conclusion pretty lifeless. In addition to that, the usually awesome Mila Kunis feels totally miscast as a hard-edged vigilante. Also, Wahlberg delivers a scream as cringe-worthy as Vader’s famous "Noooooo!" In Star Wars Episode III. It’s really becoming harder and harder to take the producer of Entourageseriously as an “actor”.

Wait, Is That…: Yes, femme fatale Natasha is Ukrainian beauty Olga Kurylenko, a gal who is due to become ever dude’s fantasy in next month’s Bond adventure,Quantum of Solace.

Theater, DVD, or TNT in Five Years? Though this ain’t mind-blowing fair, Max Payne is totally worthy for a mindless Sunday movie rental.

I was able to finally update my iPhone’s firmware to 2.1 using a custom firmware download from demonoid.com. It has the stock logos and the partition size is not altered. Still waiting for winpwn to release a new tool to support the 2.1 firmware so I can make my own custom firmware. The new firmware has some great improvements in Text and battery life. Some of the apps broke when I updated to the new firmware, just needed to update them coz there were a lot of changes in the SDK. To enable “downloaded” IPAs, you need the patched MobileInstallation which can be download from xsellize repository in Cydia.  Everything seem to be working fine for now. I have not yet come across issues that needed me to revert back to the older firmware.

(using Windows Live Writer)

My attempts to update my iPhone 2G to the latest 2.1 firmware failed. The jailbreak process fails even after carefully following the steps from xsellize. I got the infinite spinnig wheel of death after the reboot which usually means that something went wrong. I have to revert back to the older firmware 2.0.2, I already have a custom 2.0.2 firmware before attempting to upgrate to 2.1.  Everything seems to be normal for now. I have yet to install some apps and cracked IPAs.

I have always been a fan of BETAs. It gives me opportunity to explore new features and try it for myself. Microsoft recently realeased Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2.  This version is still in beta so expect some unexpected behaviour (even final realeases sometimes does that).  Current installed on my desktop PC running on Vista. Good thing about it is, if it doesn’t work on IE8, you can always switch to IE7. Just click on IE7 compatibility mode on the toolbar, restart your browser and you got yourself an IE7.

Get Internet Explorer 8 Beta 2, the latest version of Microsoft’s free web browser.

Download now Vista 32-bit

Installation notes:

Before you install IE8 Beta 2, you have to uninstall the previous version of IE8 Beta 1. If you have problems uninstalling the previous version, open a command prompt and run this command:

FORFILES /P %WINDIR%\servicing\Packages /M Microsoft-Windows-InternetExplorer-8*.mum /c “cmd /c echo Uninstalling package @fname && start /w pkgmgr /up:@fname /norestart”

Tsinelas Association, Inc.

If the higher being had not wanted the world to work in pairs, he wouldn’t have made man and woman, lids and bottles, the artist and his art.

Tsinelas Association Inc. (Tsinelas) is a non-government organization based in Cebu City, Philippines and is registered with the Securities and Exchange Commission as non-profit and non-stock.

It provides assistance to poor students in depressed areas in Cebu by ensuring that the formation they receive covers all aspects of the children’s growth and development. It also helps build a community that protects the rights of children.

This year, we are expanding our endeavors by providing visually artistic children in the areas of Cebu City the opportunity to learn basic techniques in sketching, painting and sculpting as part of the overall growth and development envisioned. The art group is called Linya and is facilitated by Tsinelas members who are also in the area of visual arts.

The classes are free. The students will also be provided with free art materials. They will also be given fare money to and from school, and lunch during class.

In connection with this, we are launching a fundraising event this coming August 30, 2008 at The Outpost . The event will serve as a major endeavor to help raise funds for the art school. We will be having bands, henna tattooing, textile painting, sale of accessories and instant portrait booths.

Bands include Mungkanghan, Foc Fashion, Salted Snail, Sefyla, Nero’s Caravan and Zara Smith is also playing for Outpost that night.
Adto ta. Be these children’s better half.
