A Troll is born

Figuratively speaking, My Baby boy, opens his eyes to a new and bigger world called life.

Alaric Gavin, or "buns" (a new brother to "ham" and "chiz", I know I have funny nicknames for my babies).
gave me a blank stare when I first saw him at the nursery, a few hours later. He's beside my wifey's bed, crying when he wakes up, use up his diapers with baby poo. That's right, I changed his diapers, his first one actually. The same way on my two girls.

Watching him sleep makes me think of the future ahead, what would he be like as a troll, err a kid. Where will he be interested on doing and all kinds of stuff that runs around my head. For now, I will enjoy his childhood, the same way I enjoy my baby girls childhood.

Mother's Day Date with the Troll's Wife

Happy Mother's Day

For all mothers out there, The Shaman greets you Happy Mother's Day.

My wife and I hanged out at SM Calamba City and watched Fast Five. Action-packed and oozing with pure awesomeness. For those of you who haven't seen it, watch it you will surely enjoy every minute of it. [Spoiler Alert] After the Movie flashes the cast and credits, stay in your seat, there will be a short Movie that will leave you hanging.

Ninei had her hair done at the salon for a little trimming. Then we head out to be surprised that there is now a Mernels cakes at the ground floor. Now if you are not from around Calamba City and Los Banos Area, but have visited our hot-spring resorts in Pansol and aware of our Buko Pies. You need to try out Mernel's Cakes & Pastries.

Don Henrico's Festival Mall, Alabang Experience

It's been awhile since my last blog post, the shaman have been busy with stuff here and there.

Earlier this evening, I visited Festival Mall in Filinvest Alabang. Meet up with wifey and have dinner. This is not a review but my experience with an ordinary fellow whom I would say enthusiastic and dedicated.

Kudos to the security guard named "Makki," He's the guy wearing long sleeved polo barong looking like PSG (Presidential Security Group) the counterpart for Secret Service for the US. He's the guy incharge of the door welcoming customers, opening door and such.

I prefered eating outside so I can smoke, this guy welcomed me and offered a table inside. I insisted to eat outside otherwise. He gaved me the menu, my wife ordered pizza and a double roast rib. Then beer for me and bottomless iced tea for wifey.

Why is it good to have a live linux iso, cd or usb drive

Linux Mint 8 Helena

My slowest computer running winxp, when it crashes. Using my ready-made linux distros live cd installer saved on a 2GB flash drive. I just boot up the pc, and run a live session to access files or perform a backup even if your windows system won't boot up. I have a backup windows ISO saved on my external drive.

Since when you use linux live cd, dvd, or usb drive. All devices works out of the box, even your cd burning optical drives. Looking at the image on the left, I am burning an installer from my backup ISO, because some of my installer is not with me at the moment. Also I managed to get some files out to completely perform a clean install on this machine.

Looking back at CS 1.6

Arctic(one-shot) over at cs_assault

Back in the days when half-life burst out from valve, a mod got famous known as CS or Counterstrike. This is usually the common and most widely used online FPS games in the market.  Noticeably can be seen in any internet shop, including mine. Aside from Starcraft and Diablo II.

I remember the days when tournaments are being held almost everywhere, or team versus team winner takes all scenarios are rampant.

Where players practice tactics or strategy on how to defeat the enemy team, both on running Counter-teriorst or being a Terrorist. Days where youths played for hours and trained like there is no other. Joining regional or national championships and all.

Watermark Orientation

Wishlist Figma 014-Miku Hatsune

I posted an article about batch watermarking in linux here. A problem for me is locating the watermark on the images to my preferences, recently found out the correct syntax for the -gravity. Which is "center" for center, "north" for top and "southeast" for bottom right. So edited my script from tuxtweaks, and edit a new watermark that has yuki on it. here are more photos and images from last time with the new watermark.

On with the others photos.

Good service is the key to keep customers happy

Yuki thanks you SM Advantage Contact Center

I have this Sm Advantage card, that they swipe when you shop at any Sm department stores or SM supermarket. I have been using it when I buy groceries or shopping at SM. I was wondering how can I track how many points I earn, so I can keep track and use the points when I get enough points. They have a website for that at sm-advantage. I enrolled my card but having some trouble because the PIN code is wrong, First I thought must be a system glitch, then I tried again today. It's really wrong. I saw an email address to contact I got from the website. Tried emailing it, I am not expecting a response anyway, it is weekend and off-office hours.

The Shaman and his first figma

Yuki Nagato Commander Version

And so the shaman wants to start his figma collection. For his first figma he's eyeing to buy Hatsune Miku or Yuki Nagato. Been looking at several online shop but since this particular figmas are mostly sold out. Luckily found someone selling both figmas in good unopened box condition.

Stormtroopers Inlove

It's good to see inlove people like Red and Jonny over at flickr. The photo album features their honeymoon, and their shared fun and interests. One thing I can say to have a lasting relationship is sharing common interests, they sure did find theirs.

This couple is cute and awesome. They sure made every moment fun. Very inspiring to see them, share everything and everyday life.

I might as well get a couple of stormtrooper helmet myself for me and my wife. lol
