They can’t spell my name right (there’s an “o” missing there somewhere), but they’ve got more than a handful of phone reviews, advice on Formula 1 racing, tips on underwater photography, and of course, some sports photography tips. On top of that, fellow bloggers Jayvee, Markku, and Rico also add to the heft of this issue.
If that doesn’t get you, they’ve got another gorgeous geek on the cover. In this issue, Miss Earth 2004 Priscilla Meirelles graces the cover. If that isn’t reason enough, then I’ll go back to my first one - there’s a primer on sports photography in this issue, and I wrote it.
If you’re my friend, that should be reason enough for you to grab your own copy. If not, you should get one anyway.

I wonder why our own political ads couldn’t be more like this. I admit - it doesn’t really present any tangible solutions to Argentina’s ills, but it’s still so much better than any crappy jingle Philippine politicians use.

The search for the next top professional continues. We’ve found for fashion designers, chefs, interior designers, and hairstylists. Now it’s time to find photographers.
Yes, a new reality show featuring photographers is in the works.

When I found out that Omar Epps‘ character on House M.D. was named Eric Foreman, I couldn’t help but think of another character on another show. Yes, Topher Grace of That ’70s Show popped into my head. His name - Eric Forman.
I found out about this while watching House several weeks ago. Why, in the middle of the drama that had Epps’ Dr. Foreman writhing in pain, I suddenly made the connection to a sitcom character, I don’t know. It just struck me that his dad called him Eric, and that the name sounded familiar. If you’re wondering if I paid attention to the rest of the episode after that, I’ll tell you now - I did. Did that name gnaw at me? Yes. Did I promise myself I would blog about it? Yes. That, of course was several weeks ago.
I was supposed to list that fact as one of several odd discoveries I had made recently. I was supposed to throw in several bits of trivia. I was supposed to do that several weeks ago. Obviously, I haven’t. Instead, I’m mentioning that single bit of information now - and I’m not throwing any other tidbits in.
Having said all this, I’m ending this entry. Useless? Maybe, but I just had to finally get it out of my list of unfinished drafts.

The Importance of Being Earnest
& Ang Kahalagahan ng Pagiging Seryo
On the heels of its successful staging of Yazmina Reza’s Tony Award-winning play Art, Kultura presents another ground-breaking theatrical experience: a double production of Oscar Wilde’s The Importance of Being Earnest. The original play in English will be presented alongside a new Filipino “transplantation” of the same play, entitled Ang Kahalagahan ng Pagiging Seryo. “Earnest” will have a 10-show run from Feb. 10 to 17, while “Seryo” will have a 10-show run from Feb. 21 to 28. Both plays are co-presented by JVC Everio Hard Disk Camcorder G Series.
Subtitled “A Trivial Comedy for Serious People,” The Importance of Being Earnest is Wilde’s most popular and successful work. It became an instant hit when it opened in London in 1895, and went to be generally acknowledged as one of the greatest comedies of all time. The play tells the story of two wealthy young gentlemen who escape responsibility whenever possible. Both masquerading under the name of “Ernest” (or “Sergio” in the Filipino version), they manage to win the love of their respective sweethearts, who both claim they could only love a man with that particular name. As expected, chaos breaks out when the truth is revealed, and the characters become entangled in a series of uproarious mistaken identities.

Shooting sports isn’t easy: you can’t just point a camera in the directions of the action, click away, and expect spectacular results. It’s a good thing then that the May-June 2007 issue of Mobile Philippines: The Ultimate Guide to Mobile Technology has a primer on sports photography.
