jim adam's programming rpg with directx 2nd ed book

i was surprise that some of the code really doesnt work... well based on some of review i read about this book (i thought it's just a programmer's issue or something). code is a bit obsolete coz he's using the dec2004 sdk in this book esp. the loading skinned xfile. this thing gets me frustrated this whole night just to make this code work specifically on april2005 sdk.

anyway now it's working *finally*, can load skinned mesh perfectly! and it's 3:00am in the morning and i have only 5 hours left before goin back to work. Zzz...

bsg season2 ending

very nice show just for a tv series actually and best scifi show i've watch so far. *frak!*, can't wait for the next season.

mother's day

we celebrated mother's day by just havin a small family party. my sister and i bought palabok and black forest cake... simple but important is seeing how happy my mom is.

late happy mom's day!

the dawn @ cafe lupe

yep, sorry the show is over. we (mike of antico and peter of verifone) just watch them jam last night @ cafe lupe, all songs are great and the crowd is all crazy. they played new composition, old songs and some cover songs on the 80's. and also 'buddy' from e-heads is now officially bassist of 'the dawn'. this show is recorded by 'mtv' and we're sitting at 4th row i think... cool huh?!

too bad sa mga niyaya ko na tinamad pumunta hehehe! peace!

working @ antico / verifone

my first day is pretty overwhelming but after few hours of chatting with my officemates it's like i've been work here for a month already! everything is great so far.

i have no team yet so i will be working alone on this project but i'm looking in the future to have my own teammates. of course i need to prove them first that i can handle this project smoothly.

wish me luck.

last trip in singapore?

i already gave 1 month notice to the company that after i'm no longer connected to them. i was hired by a local company in the philippines actually, it's not that i just want to give up my job for no reason! heh =). working in Infinitiq is fun and challenging but as always career must go on and i think now is the right time.

my next boss told me even i'm entitled as c/c++ devguy, i will be doin minimal coding but rather close to consultancy type (i think - based on the job description).

last trip in singapore? well let's hope not and will definitely still visit my boss when i get there!

drama series

ok, i'm not realy a big fan of drama series but i find "1 Litre of Tears (jap drama)" very nice and besides Erika is really cute. one factor why i watch this show becase my parents and sisters have all medical background and experiences and happens to be this show is all about uncurable disease. i know how it ends but i still continue downloading. very few episodes but most people who watch it says totally worth it.

blabla... you can watch this here
nicely done!

if this show depressed you, watch this
(just joking)

tip on watching youtube. having slow connection? or/and experiencing unexpected pauses? just pause it for a while and wait until light gray progressbar reach the end.

You are Beast!

You are brilliant and extremely clever. You can handle almost any problem swiftly and efficiently. You are devoted to philosophy and are always up for a good discussion. Sometimes, though, your anger gets the best of you and you upset those whom you care about.

You are Form 0, Phoenix: The Eternal.

"And The Phoenix's cycle had reached zenith, so he consumed himself in fire. He emerged from his own ashes, to be forever immortal."

Some examples of the Phoenix Form are Quetzalcoatl (Aztec), Shiva (Indian), and Ra-Atum (Egyptian). The Phoenix is associated with the concept of life, the number 0, and the element of fire. His sign is the eclipsed sun.

As a member of Form 0, you are a determined individual. You tend to keep your sense of optomism, even through tough times and have a positive outlook on most situations. You have a way of looking at going through life as a journey that you can constantly learn from. Phoenixes are the best friends to have because they cheer people up easily.

hotel hell

i've been here in singapore for almost a month already (1 week left) and staying at hotel81 along bencoolen street as my accomodation from the company. last week i was able to extend my stay here by staying 1 night at malaysia... forgot the name of the hotel but it's nice also.

since i can't get an expensive card for internet access provided by the hotel, i desparately tried putting my laptop somewhere in the room thinking probably there is a unsecured wifi connection... and yep there is. can't connect to mirc, lagging at uo, slow torrent download, surf is ok, ym is ok, msn messenger is ok... not bad at all and i saved 20bucks a day! ;)

i used to just put my gadgets stuffs at the bed / table / floor, but everytime im goin out i need to fix all and lock it in my bag... lazy enough to do it but i have no choice.

i only have 9 days left and still haven't got a chance to bought anything yet for christmas :-
