The Holiday Season and the Year in review

The holiday season was a time for me to relax, bond with my family and to catch up with blogging on some of my blogs as well as celebrating my birthday.

2009 was great for me because I am more involve on blogging events. I also recently attended a photojournalism workshop which was organized by the Davao bloggers with local photojournalist conducting.

I am looking forward for more upcoming blogger events as well as photography workshops if possible.

New Blogging Project: iTouch Blogger

I recently acquired an iPod Touch 3G (32 GB) and I use it to listening to my favorite music, to watch some TV series and movies on the go, listening to podcasts and to catch on my social networks (Facebook and Twitter) and of course blogging thru that very device.

As a result, I decided to create a new blogging project called "iTouch Blogger" which will talk about the iPod Touch and the iPhone, the applications and the concept of mobile blogging.

I will updating that blog mostly from the iTouch itself and will only do designs updates thru my laptop.

Celebrating my Birthday with Friends

Although my birthday was on December 24, i decided to celebrate my birthday two days after with some of my closest friends on Felis Resort at Matina Aplaya, Davao City.

Those who attended my birthday celebration where my officemates Aubrey, James and Ricky as well as my wife's best friend (and my daughter's godmother) Vanessa.

I would like to thank you guys for attending my birthday celebration.
