Amiya

Who would have thought that I would be working with such innovative and full of vision architects in Davao City.Introducing Arch.Kristin Lu and Builder Ramesis Michael Lu. This couple has been busy lately as to how will they contribute to Davao’s progress in terms of real estate. Until such time, after several drafts, we have come up of a concept to one of its properties in Puan making it a Thai-themed community. And we called it Amiya Resort Residences.

Ramesis Lu, builder,  has invited me once again to be the first photographer to capture his new built 800 sqm house at Insular owned by A filipina-and-american couple. Most of Mr. Lu’s masterpieces are embracing ZEN attitude where you can feel total relaxation to what is called- HOME. The crib’s interior is designed minimalist and eco-friendly. Minimalist because it is not the usual house that is overdone and no accent effect. Eco-friendly because mirrors are attached to walls which allow the natural light from the sun goes through so the owner can conserve e-light consumption.

You are about to see the interior of this house. Read the rest of this entry »

This is the newest Tagum’s Municipal Hall. It was my first glance to what has been always said that Tagum has rose up. With the images I have captured not just through the lens of my cam, but also thru the retina of my eyes, I could say, Tagum to date is far better than Davao. Sad to say but for me it is.

Giving a chance to take this photo was a self achievement since the last time that I pray to take full glimpse to this ancestral house since I love vintage things. Located at Habana Compound, Rizal Street, Davao City, this sleeping house is now alive with internal amenities. Past is past, ika nga..

This place is vintage no more. The look yes, but it has named Claude’s Le Café de Ville. It offers french foods, a function hall for meetings and the ZEBRA room for a small family who wanted to stay with time-lapse effect. The house looks creepy at first glance, but when you happen to explore its corners, everything is awesome.

Although, on the other hand, the preservation of this house has lost. Well, the owner might as well realized that life must go on. We have to move on. Want to feel something new in Davao? Try Claude’s Le Cade de Ville and call 222-4287 for more information and for reservations.

Faith Debate

Shot at Osmeña Park, San Pedro Street Davao City. These guys including the old man in gray are regularly gathering themselves with a semi formal debate as to what religion could save human kind. They are also arguing the wisdom in the Holy Bible. Expectantly, opinions and understanding to this sensitive topic clash!

The news was virally release thru headline of acclaimed reliable news portal WEEKLY WORLD NEWS on www.weeklyworldnews.com. Wow, I could not imagine life without facebook. Back to friendster? No way… so this is the news that millions of the users bother so much.

PALO ALTO, CA –Mark Zuckerberg announced that Facebook will be shut down in March. Managing the site has become too stressful.

“Facebook has gotten out of control,” said Zuckerberg in a press conference outside his Palo Alto office, “and the stress of managing this company has ruined my life. I need to put an end to all the madness.”

Zuckerberg went on to explain that starting March 15th, users will no longer be able to access their Facebook accounts.

“After March 15th the whole website shuts down,” said Avrat Humarthi, Vice President of Technical Affairs at Facebook. “So if you ever want to see your pictures again, I recommend you take them off the internet. You won’t be able to get them back once Facebook goes out of business.”

DOJ Secretary Alberto Agra look at the eyes of the victim shown above!  The world cried after the massacre happened. Many lives were sacrificed not only the 57 victims but also those brave  witnesses. Once again, the Philippines experienced injustice after acquitting ARMM Governor Zaldy Ampatuan and Vice Mayor Tato. Yes, there is a due process. Our political system of government is equipped enough to cater that “DUE PROCESS’ thing. The only problem is ”the one” in position. Given. Thats normal to us now. Injustice! Here comes Secretary Agrabyado, whose soul belongs to the Ampatuans. How could he manage such conscience? How could he dare to sell the true essence of justice to the hands of evils? 57 lives were killed like pigs. Women were raped infront of their dying husbands.Very inhuman! Just like that?  People of the Philippines, let us be one. Let us help one another to call action for justice! Let us help our country even in a simple way of condemning the killers! Let us vote for leaders who can protect the rights of the people to live safely and freely. Let us put leaders who can destroy co-leaders that are corrupt and  murderer! Please!

Cheche has been charged for wiretapping by GSIS, when her Probe Team tried to do a story on unfair compensation practices. Cheche had explicitly told GSIS that she was recording their conversation beforehand. She had offered them all the airtime to present their side of the story. In the end, because the story was negative, GSIS chose to charge her with wire-tapping.

Cheche Lazaro’s Statement che che lazaro
May 8, 2009

It is mind-boggling why I am being singled out for prosecution for following the tenets of responsible journalism. If raising the concerns of underpaid public school teachers deprived of their benefits by a publicly accountable government institution and giving my accuser the airtime to explain her boss’s side of the story are now considered crimes under our laws, then I plead guilty.

This is a small price to pay for bringing a perfectly legitimate public interest issue out in the open. Probe will not be intimidated into submission. I just wish my accuser will play fair and hire private lawyers instead of using government lawyers (from the GSIS), whose salaries are incidentally paid for by, among others, the teachers shortchanged by the questionable policy of the GSIS and private citizens like me who pay taxes.

In the last 22 years, Probe has carved a niche in the industry and won recognition here and abroad for consistently adhering to time-honored journalistic values of accuracy, fairness and objectivity. My team and I have no plans of changing the way we work just to accommodate the personal agenda of people in power.

Would you trust these two?

Posted: April 22, 2009 in Uncategorized

Would You Trust These Two? Prospero Nograles and Luis Villafuerte this nogralesweek both relinquished their posts as heads of their respective parties to pave the way for the merging of Kampi and Lakas. Citing preparations for the 2010 elections, they also claim that Cha-Cha is dead. But knowing how these two operate, would you take their word as gospel truth. If you ask me, I’d rather trust a snake than these two.

How many times have these two said anything truthful? As far as I can remember, zilch, nada, never. I’m sure they’re doing the dirty work of pushing the Cha-Cha one way or another. Just to be on the safe side, Gloria has been globetrotting, most probably to try and hide her loot. She’s using the plight of the starving, jobless Filipinos to spirit away her ill-gotten wealth. Perhaps she’s staying away from Europe as the EU have very strict laws against dirty money. villa

So the cat is out of the bag, Lakas and Kampi are consolidationg their forces, perhaps to resurrect a KBL-like party should they succeed in amending the constitution. They’re trying to create a monopoly of sorts to ensure that they would still enjoy the perks that come with their ass-licking loyalty to the soon-to-be illegitimate prime minister. Look hard at these pictures and tell me with all honesty that these two have any shred of sincerity in them. Would you entrust the future of your children in faces like these? Like I said, I’m better off with the snake. (by schumey.blogspot.com)
