Our Music

As you can read from Cathy’s post below, we’re around that stage of picking a photographer and videographer. I think it would come down to Mimi and Karl or Dino Lara (no relation, although I could use the name as a bargaining chip) as photographers and Jason Magbanua or Threelogy for videographers.

Our (work) baby on FHM Philippines

As many of you all know, our little engine that could, Clipcast, has really evolved into a cool and current repository of videos on everything under the sun that a Pinoy would find interesting.  We try our best to up the utility value of the features and Jay and I are constantly looking for interesting [...]

Hello, 2007!

I’m back from the US. 
I don’t know how people do long distance relationships.  The twelve days without Jay was unbearable.  I know, I know, I shouldn’t complain… a lot of other people have it much worse but spending both Christmas and New Year without him was difficult.  BUT… I did get a chance to spend Christmas [...]
