Google’s Picasa 3

Picasa collage

Has anyone tried their hands on Picasa 3?

I just did. I’m currently organizing my photos and cleaning up folders. My first Picasa project is a collage of old and new photos of Bianca and Clara, and some of the places we used to frequent back in the UK. It was one pretty easy task I did while watching Iron Man on HBO and checking on brothers playing PS2 with ipods stuck on their ears. We’re using too much electricity these past few days.

Here are some of the things you can do with Picasa: organize photos for easy finding, edit them, create collages, photo movies, slideshows, upload to blogs or to your email account for sending, and show your photos to the world through web-based Picasa photo account. It’s a freeware.

CCF Anniversary on August 30

Yeah, I know. I have been out of the church the whole month of August. My Sundays were booked and my weekdays were hell-raising moments. But I have a mom who frequents church service at CCF with her new set of friends. She won’t stop bugging me about going to the anniversary worship tomorrow in Araneta Coliseum.

Here’s the plan, despite the fact that I have been almost sleepless for the past 3 days:

1. Bring Marius, wear my most comfortable shirt-jeans get-up and bring my disposable shoe covers.
2. Ride with her and her amigas at 5am. Brother will go drive us to Cubao.
3. Stay in Starbucks and work on my mancom report while waiting for the clock to strike 8am.
4. Drink coffee frapuccino to keep my eyes open.
5. Wait for friends. I promised to reserve seats for them at the ringside.

If you’re a CCFer, see you there!

My first balloon-twisting lesson

balloon-twisting workshoppuppy I was with a group of kids last Sunday for a balloon-twisting lesson. Ralph, the balloon-twist guy, taught us basic animal shapes and other stuff like swords and flowers. Watching him do it was somewhat scary as we didn’t want balloons to pop right before our faces. But somehow the experience turned out to be okay.

There’s my amateur attempt to create a puppy. It took a couple of twists and turns to form one. You can basically form other shapes easily. All you’d need is some dose of creativity and an incredible amount of patience. I think similar virtues apply to every discipline.

I’ll post photos I downloaded from my sd card soon. By the way, if you’re interested to learn how or having one in your party, let me know.
