Dr. Dre Beats Headphones

Who said you can only use a dr dre beats headphones if you are an a musician/composer? With today's technology, a headset is a "must have". You use on for listening to good music. You use one when quietly watching a movie on your tablet, in the middle of the night. You use one, plugged to your MP3 or mobile phone, as you go about with your daily tasks and chores. The bottom line is, we all need a particular type of good quality headset.

Vhong Navarro: Beaten Up! Cries Foul!

Just what is the truth behind the Vhong Navarro incident? Navarro's badly beaten-up face was plastered in all types of media including social networking sites, on Thursday, January 23, 2014.

A group of men, allegedly led by businessman Cedric Lee, beat the crap out of  Navarro. According to Vhong Navarro, a certain Deniece Millet Cornejo invited him over to a condo in BGC on Wednesday, January 22, only to be blindfolded and trashed by Lee and his cohorts. According to Navarro, the collusion was all about money as he pointed out that Cedric Lee was asking for 1 million pesos for an alleged "rape" video clip be kept private. Yup! Navarro said he was being framed for raping Deniece Millet Cornejo. and that for that news not to get public, he has to cough up moolah.

On the other hand, Cedric Lee said Navarro attempted to rape Ms Cornejo and that he interceded to abort  the dastardly act. Hmm.. I don't know. The "lines" of the two opposing parties are not clear. There are loopholes to contend with.  :Let's see what happens next.

New Amplifier Please!

 It was quite nerve wracking to hear and then "not hear" the PAW team as they sang praise songs at the church service this morning. Something was wrong with the amplifier. Loose wiring? Nope! More on broken amplifier that has been ready to "retire" two years ago! What to do? As part of the music ministry I should take the initiative to consider purchasing a mesa boogie amplifier, no less. I better see how much one costs before I make my recommendation.

Choosing an Area Rug

Choosing an area rug for a specific room seem to be easy IF you only have a handful of choices and IF you are choosing for one room only. But if you have more than 2,000 choices and about 10 rooms to choose an area rug for, then THAT is not easy. I have spent hours and hours and hours contemplating on what rug to choose. I have to think of the overall concept design of the house, the color scheme, the type of rug as it pertains to whether it's hand-woven or power-loomed; hand-tufted or hand-knotted; wool or polyester and so on. I saw these area rugs at Jaipur Rugs. Simply beautiful. Can't decide which one to buy.

From ZEN to Contemporary

The residential unit that I have designed and supervised is now almost 100% done. The owners have plans of moving this coming February and I am just so stressed to make the deadline. The house's style is contemporary but I started out with ZEN. However, the owners kept on asking me to do modifications that I finally decided to change my approach.

The house is big! About 600 square meters including a roof deck. It was a tough job supervising the construction as  there seem to be an unending task of conceptualizing the interior on all areas of the house. I employed several approaches in completing the house - and the systems seemed to have worked! I can't wait for this house to be completed.
