If you are getting bored with your old digital photos and are looking for fun ways to display them online, let me introduce to you a couple of websites that you might find useful.

If you would like your enhance your photos to have the ‘cartoony’ effect, you can try BeFunky.com’s online photo editing softwares such as the Cartoonizer, Uvatar, and Video Cartoonizer. Below are just some funky photos I came up with after playing with BeFunky.com’s Cartoonizer.

  

Another cool site to try is PhotoFunia.com. This is the perfect place to get photos of you on billboards, posters, cards, CDs, and currencies, or with famous personalities like Angelina Jolie, Madonna, John Lennon, and many more. Your edited photos may just be manipulated images but will definitely catch people’s attention.

       

Have fun!

Soul Calibur II I have been playing this game ever since it was launched back in 2000. I got hooked on it, primarily because I have a  fascination with swords and swordfights alike. In a tekken-dominated arcade world, it offered something new. Learning the art of Soul Calibur takes patience and diligence. Some say it’ll take you a year to master all the moves of all the characters. The thing with Soul Calibur is that you yourself have to make your own combos, Find out which slash or thrust combination damages the most. But what really hooked me to this game was the thirst for “blood” spilled by others. (more…)

Rico is just one of a series of names people have been using to refer to me, hence, my name’s evolution came from  Amorrico  to my uncle and Lola. Boi  (Bo- ih) to one of my uncle’s friends in “Galas”, where people are always “up and ready” ….(if u  know what I mean) Ricky  to my friends  in high school. I am  Red to College friends … Papsie to my family. And now i am Rico to my Joanna.

It’s nice to look back when people called you weird and unheard of names. Some names fitted you and some were just nicknamed to you because of the trend. I’ve had so many shards of my past lives I realized the only good thing that came out of it  is that nothing’s  routinary or boring. Different  circles of people expect different sides of you.   For every name hence a corresponding personality. The  bad side to it is that you can never really know who you are, what you are  and where you belong.

After being  my Grandmother’s  beloved, my father’s  pride, a bad frat boy-boyfriend  in college,  and  now a I am just simply a lover, a best friend, and a boyfriend.

This may sound crazy to you, but the last time i attended a funeral was my Lolo Carlos Contreras Sto. Domingo who died sometime in 1992. It was a reunion of sorts since my Lolo had his way with the ladies of his generation and ended up with more than 5 wives. You can imagine how many siblings my dad have, and more so how many cousins we are in total. It was definitely as ludicrous and hilarious as it can be. It was a celebration of sorts bordering nearly on a circus. I had a great time meeting and greeting my cousins even though i had a hard time remembering their names. I went to the funeral but not the burial rites though. (more…)

Let me share to you this article that I got from my late grandfather’s wife, Tita Edith. I am not sure its original source.

How to live longer through prayer. I affirm this prayer two or 2x a day. I now relay my mind and body and let God’s healing love flow into my bloodstream and bathe every cell and atom of my body giving me perfect health and life. (more…)

My grandfather and my daughter adored and loved each other. When he was about to pass away I had difficulty finding the right words to narrate his condition to her. I found it even more difficult to explain his death.  (more…)
