Handsfree (Wikipedia)

Handsfree is an adjective describing equipment that can be used without the use of hands (for example via voice commands) or, in a wider sense, equipment which needs only limited use of hands, or for which the controls are positioned so that the hands are able to occupy themselves with another task (such as driving) without needing to hunt far afield for the controls.

So why in God's name do some (bleep) hold their mobile phone in one hand, the mic of the handsfree with the other, and have the earpiece in their ear?!?!?! Congratulations... you've turned a handsfree kit, into a "needs both hands to operate" kit.

Another funny sight are those people that use the speakerphone fuction on their mobiles on really low tables, and then stoop down really low to be heard (About an inch from the phone)... it's funnier when they stoop down while standing cuz now they look like their bowing to the table.

I'm on a mission to take good shots of these people...


"Carlos knows... Carlos knows..."

Back from Subic

The 3 days in Subic for Ad Congress was fun! Although it could've been organized better, it was still nice. Wish I could've brought Annette to Subic, but thankful that I didn't since parking around the exhibit area was a bitch and all muddy.

Are we alone?

The question has been asked by mankind ever since. Are we alone. In a surprise announcement, 14 high ranking gov't and military officials from 7 different countries will be holding an event at The National Press Club regarding UFO phenomenon.

I wonder if this is where Tom Cruise will peel his face of and instead of Ethan Hunt, we find ET...

STARBUCKS! STARBUCKS! STARBUCKS!

Here we go again... that time of year... and Starbucks has their 2008 Planner up for grabs.

Hehehehehe... one sticker down.

Midlife Transformation

I got this in an email and I just thought it was a nice read.

Midlife Transformation

Trick or Treat!

Grrr... didn't have enough time to make my Halloween costume this year. Looks like I'll be reusing one of my old ones. It's ok, the costume I had in mind will still be killer next year... it will actually make more sense then, I was just eager to finish it this year.

Oh well. Trick or treat! And Happy Halloween!

Happy Halloween everyone!

Enjoy! Cat Bowling

Q4

4th quarter of the year... work gets really hectic this time of year. Wedding season. Everyone gets married this time of year... last year when I first started my business, I had at least 4 weddings a month. And I'm pretty sure the more established audio rental companies had more. I got so sick of hearing wedding music, I actually was so happy I had my iPod so I could listen to my own music. Hahahahaha.

Busy Saturday...

Whew... had 2 back-to-back events today. Had one in Mag:net at Bonifacio Highstreet, then had to rush to Polo Club for the BMWCCP's anniversary party. Still here in Polo club just relaxing with the guys and having a few drinks.

Q4 is really the busiest... hopefully I can expand enough to take on all the upcoming projects. :) Shopping time for more audio gear... hehehehe...

Retarded...

Just saw a Samsung TVC for their mobile phones that starts off, "Imagine a phone that reminds you what country you're in... Imagine a phone that tells you when night turns into day..." ... uhm, I think you've got bigger mental problems if you need a phone to remind you what country you're in, and to tell you if it's night or day... sheesh... Hahahahahaha...

Brrrr months...

Wow... the year is almost over. Halloween is just a few weeks away! And Christmas is just around the corner!

YAHOO!!!

The parts I ordered from Germany arrived today!!! Annette is going in on Sunday to have the new parts put in.

...be my friend...

Friendster, MySpace, Multiply, and now Facebook... don't we have enough networking sites? Facebook is the new "in" thing now... although stepping back, I still prefer Multiply. Facebook comes second. Facebook requires less maintenance, and I think that's why people seem to like it. You don't really need to type or enter anything... just keep clicking and sending people things. But after a while, it gets kinda boring...hurray... I'm now a Vampire... sheesh...

...on Tradition...

BMW's Mobile Tradition Program allows ALL BMW owners to order any part (or so they say) from any dealer anywhere in the world for every model they've ever made. Placed an order for a few small parts that Annette needs and are difficult to find. BMW Phil claims parts will arrive in 2 weeks... not bad! Let's see how things turn out in 2 weeks if they really can fulfill my order!

Home Sweet Home!

Got back from the Bacolod/Dumaguete Tour of the Manila Symphony Orchestra w/ Helen Quach and pianist Cristine Coyiuto last Sunday. Very tired. Tour went really well. All shows were sold out!

Doppler Audio is making a name in the classical music community. We now have a reputation with some of the more influential people in the business.

DOPPLER AUDIO in Dumaguete

Will be going with the Manila Symphony Orchestra to Bacolod (Lacson territory) and Dumaguete to supervise the audio requirements of the MSO-Helen Quach tour. I hope there's WiFi there or something...

Keep Walking...

Hehehehe... added a small "W" link to SonyEricsson's Walkman site. Thankfully, their corp color is also orange! Hahahaha!

The Saraza Brothers & The Manila Symphony Orchestra

Doppler Audio recorded the performance of the Saraza Brothers & The Manila Symphony Orchestra at St. Cecilia's Hall in St. Scholastica's College.

System check...

Sorry. Been cleaning up some of the code on my site and I'm just checking if things still work right and refresh properly...

Updates

Ok, it's been over a year since I got my site up (It's been a VERY hectic year) ... my portfolio page is less than half done... I still need to upload hi-res files of all my work. At least this blog serves as some sign that this site is still being updated... hahahaha.
