Saturday, March 01, 2014Suggested Gifts for the GraduatesMarch and April are the months when most seniors in the Philippines graduate. Being a part-time faculty for two colleges that both have trimestral schedules, we either have them earlier or much later. In any case, I was asked to check out Lazada's shop to see if I could find ideal gift suggestions.To be honest, the gifts I picked were ones I actually would like myself. Hehehe, but I'm pretty sure my own students would more or less have the same tastes (since we're all from the video game development industry anyway). So let's start off with the gadget I coveted most:Samsung Galaxy S4 Zoom C101 AndroidI have been eyeing this since it first came out but I had just bought my Note at that time. I tested out its features and can I just say...Wow. I fell in love with it at first handling. XDRead more »Like this post?

And man, the former has been taking months to heal. It was annoying in the first few months (I'd wake up limping in the morning due to pain), but by December (coincidentally the month I pigged out) the pain had become extremely unbearable. By that time, both my feet would be in excruciating pain upon waking up.I knew what I needed to do then:Lose weight.Change shoes.For this post, I will be talking about how I lost 13 pounds in a span of 3 weeks. I'll save the shoes for Part II.You'll notice from the photos above how my jawline disappeared as the year progressed? LOL.

I still give my all-out support to my former studio, though, because I have to be honest. In my 16 years in the multimedia industry, Anino Games has the best environment I've ever been in. I miss the people (so many of us introverts in there but we all had such good chemistry).I downloaded Manila Rush a few weeks ago and I was happy to see that they had FINALLY launched Through Andrea's Eyes.
