Although it was hard walking the trail and the monkeys were being territorial, we managed to capture some cool pix along the way and the experience burned some calories and a few work related stress for both of us.

MacRitchie Reservoir Park
I knew that everything is going to be hard when we decided to move to Singapore, I just didn't realize that even recreation is going to be a pain. My wife Grax and I went to the MacRitchie Reservoir Park to do some trekking, we love to be outdoors every chance we can get, so last Saturday we packed some stuff and our trustee camera and off we went, first stop was to the Ministry of Manpower to file the documents for my work permit, then hopped on the bus to the MacRitchie Reservoir. We've been there once but did not stay too long, we planned to go on a picnic the first time but the local goons (Monkeys) tried to steal our food and it was too humid to do anything that day so we ended up at the mall, (-next best thing to being outdoors). But this time we came prepared, although I was wearing jeans because I had to go to MoM and I figure we'll end up at Ang Mo Kio Hub soon enough, Grax did bring me a change of clothes and it came very handy half of the way to the 5km hike it felt really heavy to be wearing jeans.

A New Beginning (Again)
After 3 weeks, countless applications sent, updated resumes and profiles from monster.com.sg, jobstreet.com.sg, jobsdb.com.sg to name a few then the phone interviews and exactly 7 personal interviews later I'm finally going back to work. I will be working as an in house web designer for a mid size company here in Singapore. I'm very grateful for the opportunity and I don't need to extend my visit pass or make an exit. This will be a new challenge for me and I know that it's not going to be easy, but I live for this kind of stuff, I worked for Royal Caribbean Intl. for 5 years as a deck hand, went back to school and after 4 years got a bachelors degree, got hired by Iwebmasters became a project manager for one of their accounts and now I'm in a foreign country starting over again.
From my experience I could self proclaim that I am the epitome of that line that goes "It's never to late to start over". But I guess it's because being trapped in a dead end career scares me more, being in a place just because you've stayed too long and you can never be anywhere else, do something different, reinvent yourself again and again. But starting over and over is not for everyone, there are those lucky few that finds their calling on the first try I used to envy those types of people until I realized that life has a lot to offer and that I'm here to try as much of what it can give me, expecting the worst but always hoping for the best.
I'm both excited and scared of this move, I'm looking forward to new possibilities and scared shitless of the unknown but one thing is certain I wouldn't have it any other way. Remember that scene from "Pulp Fiction" between Jules and Vincent, when Jules was thinking about retiring from being a hitman?
Jules: I'll just walk the earth.
Vincent: What'cha mean walk the earth?
Jules: You know, walk the earth, meet people... get into adventures. Like Caine from "Kung Fu."
I'm walking the earth, kind of in between retirement and questing for whatever is still out there, making an adventure of an ordinary day, a regular job in a new place with a very different cultural background. So ladies and gents I would like to welcome you all to "A New Beginning".

attack weapons of choice
EZLINK - a type of stored value card that will help you get around. You can use it on all the MRT lines and all the bus lines. Just make sure you have enough credits until you get to your next top up station, or make sure you have exact change in your pocket for emergencies.
LAPTOP - we were lucky enough to get the ACER aspire 4930G for SGD998 its very powerful with core 2 duo processor, a 250GB HDD, 2GB DDR2, and a 1023MB NVIDIA GeForce 9300M turbo cache. So for us its a really good buy. I really need to get online here because that is the only way I will be able to find employment since walk in applicants are not encouraged.
PHONE - Grax was able to acquire a NOKIA E63 (their version of a blackberry) not only does it have a seamless design but you can check your email via wifi and find out if you have any new appointments or scheduled interviews you can also ask for directions at gothere.sg whenever you get lost on your way there. And of course receive incoming calls even on the go. LOL

Singapore
It's Friday today Grax had to work, I arrived at the Changi terminal last Tuesday May 19th 7:35 in the evening. After depositing my luggage at our new place and meeting our new housemates, (mommy Susan, her daughter Gileen, Gileen's husband Allen and their little boy Hans) we went out for a neighborhood tour and had dinner at the nearest "Hawker" a foodcourt of sorts where you can find great tasting foods at very acceptable prices. The following day was our first day together since she left for SG last February, we had a busy day ahead of us, our plans was to watch Wolverine and cruise on the shops for things we need.
After breakfast we went to the market a few blocks from our place and bought fish, shrimps and some veggies for our lunch. While Grax prepares lunch I had 2 phone interviews for a web designer position both got my profile on monster.sg the Singapore wing of monster.com This is all for now more updates soon.

Remember When
Remember when life was simple?
We hang out with our common friends over coffee,
watch a movie on tape, or dvd?
life was simple but it meant the world to me.
Remember when things got a lot better,
we were the best of friends,
I could tell you anything, and listen
to all your thoughts and dreams.
Remember when things became complicated,
it was such a trying time,
but being with you it didn't matter,
I knew you were the one,
But I guess you wont remember,
the day you broke my heart,
into tiny little pieces,
I'm trying not to, but I can't forget.
Forgiving is not forgetting,
I've learned this the hard way,
One thing is certain, you are the one for me.
But I will always wonder if I'm the one for you.
Only time will tell,
but It's too early for me,
I hope you can understand that...
Remembering is the only way for me to forget.

James Sawyer : 1971 - 2009
Jumper - Third Eye Blind
Oi Soy, kumusta ka naman, umalis ka ng walang paalam.
Langya, tae ka talaga ginulat mo kami at bigla kang nawala.
Medyo matatagalan ka siguro, kasi sinturon ang ginamit mong
sasakyan patungo sa iyong pupuntahan.
Sana dinaan na lang natin sa inuman, kahit walang pulutan.
Di naman ako mahirap isama basta magsabi lang ng maaga.
Pero siguro matagal mo din yan pinagisipan, at kahit mapalitan
ng alkohol ang dugo mo di ka rin naman namin mapipigilan.
Saglit pa lang tayong nagkasama
pero parang ang tagal na kitang kakilala.
Ok ka naman kausap kahit minsan ang hina ng boses
na lumalabas sa yong lalamunan.
Salamat sa mga araw na binigay mo sa amin,
Mga laban natin sa DotA, walang sawang yosi break,
pagsabay mo sa pag-uwi kahit nauuna kang maglakad,
pang-aasar mo kay Dean at Jabong, at sa mga inuman sessions.
Di ko man maisip kung bakit mo nagawa,
Nakalulungkot isipin na ika'y nawala,
Sana ay masaya ka sa iyong naging desisyon,
ingat sila sayo at kumusta mo na lang ako kay John Lennon.
Elektra King to James Bond: "What's the point of living if you can't feel alive."

No worries IE users....
I was able to fix the problem with Internet Explorer browsers sooner than expected. I just hope that this issue would be a good reminder for me to check cross browser capabilities before anything else. Meanwhile as I was surfing the web for a new article I titled "3 stars and a sun: in pop culture..." on my other blog/online portfolio "graphX" I chanced upon a blog with a really cool header that changes every time you click on a new article, it features classic photos taken around Manila before all the hullabaloo started, aptly titled "Nostalgia Manila". Be sure to check it out.

Internet Explorer, you're killing me...
I have been promoting this new lay out I made for this blog for ages, and then one day I accidentally browsed it using IE, and to my horror it looked like a tornado just went through it. Waaaaaaaaaaaa, It serves me right for not checking it out on everyone's favorite browser and most web designers nightmare the infamous "Internet Explorer". And I don't know when I'll be able to fix this mess, so for the mean time if you guys want to see how it really looks just open it in your Mozilla Firefox. Until then, chill out and breath the air.

Born in 19th century Canada to rich plantation owners, James Howlett grows into manhood on a mining colony in Northern Alberta, adopting the name "Logan", which is the last name of the plantation groundskeeper, Thomas Logan and his son Dog.

Following the death of his Blackfoot paramour, Silver Fox, he is ushered into a Canadian military unit.

EoaX Header Evolution
This blog has been up since March of 2006, and from the K2 Black Template it initially came from has evolved numerous times since, the K2 Black template has been pulled out of the Blogger Templates Directory, but you can use it's alter ego K2 template because they're basically the same. Now I have a new lay out, probably not the last time I will rework this blog, so until then allow me to take you down memory lane, and witness the evolution of the themes with the remains of what this site used to crown itself with.
"a revolution in evolution"
The first header I made for this blog came from a picture taken of me and my friends during our roadtrip to Pagudpud, we visited a place called "Sand Dunes of Ilocos" where the picture was taken. Made up of composite images, simple type effects and filters rendering light effects. I was going for broody on the borderline of being Gothic.
"EoaX the gothic revival"
For my second header I went all the way Gothic, it's an image of an angel with ripped wings I found on the net, I would like to thank whoever uploaded it but I can't remember where I got it from, so I'll just say "thank you for this image and I really like your work." I used some tribal brushes I downloaded from brusheezy.com as accent and added some gradient styles for the text effect. For the theme I reused the original K2 Black color scheme of black and blue.
"Heath Ledger's "the joker" tribute"
As a tribute to The Dark Knight's "The Joker" (Heath Ledger's performance is a classic even if he did not live long enough to appreciate it. R.I.P. come to think of it his demise didn't make it more convincing dead or alive it's the best I've seen in awhile.) I got the image from deviant art's joker collection. This is a parody to "Why so serious?" line of the joker. As the contents of the blog started to turn for the morbidly serious concept reflecting the situations I was going through at the time.
That's it for now, this new lay out would probably evolve in a different direction, but as far as I'm concerned since it's already December of 2008 it's safe to assume that it will remain the same until the coming year. Give or take a few add-on's here and little bit there. Until my next post, thank you for coming. Don't forget to comment.

A beautiful mind and a restless soul...
Serendipity brought you to me, I've never felt so lucky before our paths crossed
I wasn't even looking, yet there you were and I was never the same after
Like rain to end a drought you drenched me with a feeling of being whole,
giving me wings to soar, and explore the life that I thought was already complete.
You think too much and it drives you and the people around you insane
yet I find it interesting how you contradict everything, even your own thoughts.
But on a good day you overwhelm me with your generosity and your understanding,
you spread happiness like a rash and your smile can slow down time to a halt.
When you dream you dream big and I look forward to every adventure that I let you
drag me in to, even when your dreams make my life a nightmare there's no place I'd rather be.
You give me strength to be a better person, and you're the only one who can make a monster
out of me, but without you there wouldn't be any reason for me to feel happiness or sadness.
You are the one, my dearest one, the last piece of my puzzle,
you are my thorn as well as my crown, you can't have one without the other.
you cause unimaginable pain, and the most glorious experience I've ever known
I will always love your beautiful mind... and take long walks with your restless soul...

What we've got here is failure to communicate
It amazes me sometimes to know that educated people can still be so naive, giving in to their emotions like giving in to their cravings for food or vices, not knowing or realizing or blatantly ignoring the fact that their actions have consequences. To know that you've done something wrong is a way to be educated by life that you wouldn't receive from any expensive academic program. And to ignore this and not take any responsibilities is the way of those who were sheltered from the tragedies of our existence.
I pity anyone who could go on living their lives as if it revolves around them, Like everything that's happening around is their fault or was caused to make their lives miserable. I know a sure way of finding out if this is true for anyone who doubts this. Try to kill yourself and see if the world would stop on it's tracks to remember you. Your family may stop their regular routine, for a week! And your friends might remember you from time to time, but the sun will still shine in the east every morning and set in the west whether you're here or trapped in your own personal misery.
Sometimes you just have to admit you're wrong and be human enough to take responsibilities about all your decisions otherwise you have to justify your actions and defend your ideas. I'm very sad and frustrated to the point of being enraged at how some people just burst into your life like a disaster who would have the guts to try to steal everything that's important to you but are afraid to stand up for themselves.
I think it's because deep inside they were all just delusions, everything they thought is true are just a product, not even, more likely a residue of a compact community that created all their insecurities which feed on the innocent whom they exploit because "THEY" think that's how smart people do it...
Shheesshh... If you think I'm talking to you It's because I am. You may not want to hear this but you need to, and be thankful that I'm giving you a piece of my mind for free because being a pain in the ass that you are almost cost me the rest of my life...
And finally if you're bored get a hobby or read a book and be enlightened don't bother watching those cheap teeny bopper love story movies that only makes you dumber than you already are. Life is more serious than how you came to know it so try to see that there is always more to it than what you already know... learn some more and move on... enjoy your life, I'm not glad to have played a bit part in it, but you left me no choice... but this is definitely the end.

A Storm is Brewing
Hold on? or let go, how do we know when the time is up? That we've exhausted all our resources as human beings to absorb emotional conflicts? There are certain things in life that once broken can never be fixed, an emotional death is like the real death when it passes it can never come back. No reason or logic can be sufficient for us to understand this, all I know is that the effects on each individual is different and I may not be an expert on this but I am suffering from it. And all I have is this space to share my sorrow, I'm in mourning... I'm angry... enraged... I feel betrayed and there is nothing I can do about it but go on... live my life like nothing is wrong, because it can never be right ever again.
Why me? I'm not special I'm just a regular person and just like everyone else I'm not equipped to face the storm that is brewing inside of me. We all suffer from feelings like happiness, love, anger and hate, I have the three except happiness. I will never be complete again, the void that this created is too big to be filled up by time unless I live to be more than a hundred. And who wants that!?
I guess it is time, for me to give back to life what I have taken from it, it's been a great ride. I'm not saying that I wont do it all over again because that's what we do with life we live through it, despite all the nasty things that happens to us while were alive even if it means being a living dead. Eat, Sleep, Go to Work, Have Fun and Suffer...
I did not invite you here, but if you happen to be passing by, Welcome to my Emotional Funeral...
As the closest person who have contact with my emotions, I have a few things to say about it before I let it rest in peace...
My emotion was always fragile as long as I can remember, we had good times together, we played a lot as kids sharing my innocence, getting into fights, making new friends... During my teens it got complicated, always angry and resentful of everything we do or done to us, trying to take charge of me so I let it bully me for awhile. As we got older it learned to mellow out, it found a new life so to speak and we were happy and content. It was the good times for us. I thought we will be together for the rest of my life. But it got sick somehow and it's all my fault, we agreed to never invest on any one thing, because that's how you get emotional cancer with disappointments. That was how we did it after we gained more understanding of life we never give out everything to be protected, so that if we lose on one thing we still have a few left that we can allow to grow. But one day I convinced my emotion that life is all about risks and it wouldn't be living if were always playing it safe. We needed to be strong and let go of our fears. That's how it got sick, because of me... I shared my emotions to the last person I thought would harm it. But I'm not sorry because my emotion lived a full life and found happiness before it was taken from me. My tears no longer has a taste, we are here to say goodbye to my emotion and as a parting gift I will leave you the flavor of my tears so that wherever you may roam you will have a piece of me with you. No more suffering you are free from all feelings, and though in time I may fill the void that you will leave it would never be enough for me to forget you, it would never be enough for me to be complete. Thank You I'm letting you go.
And to all who came, welcome to the winter of my discontent...

eXsite Thing Concepts
eXsite Thing Concepts or simply Xsite is my latest online portfolio... This is also my first attempt to get on the web 2.0 bandwagon. I used different shades of green and black as the main theme color, its glossy and utilizes the reflection effect on the background elements. This is where you can view my past projects and get to know a little bit about me. Online portfolios are very important to all web designers and developers, this is how a prospective client would decide if they like your style of work before hiring you.
According to Sean Hodge in an article for smashingmagazine.com,
"Your portfolio is the showcase of your work, your skills and your potential for your future employers. The more time and effort you dedicate for a usable and nice-looking design, the higher are your chances for getting better account balance in the end of the month. So how can you make sure your portfolio is better than the portfolios of your competitors? How can you point employer’s attention to your works?" (more...)
