Wow! When was my last post?? I have no idea... but it seems my counter is still going up and up, so I guess people are still watching the video. However BlogPatrol has been down for over a month now (get your act together!) and so I have no access to who has been visiting my blog. Well, if you're visiting, thanks for dropping by and enjoy the videos.I have been EXTREMELY busy with my work. When you get higher up in any organisation (well in terms of responsibilities not power), you tend to get more responsibilities and ALL manner of issues are landing on my table for me to sort out. It's definitely a very positive experience, and one that I am relishing as it is pushing me to learn new things and new ways of doing things.
Here's a quick update on all fronts:
DVXing and Videography
There not been much development in the video front. I take out my DVX once in a while to make sure it is aired properly but have not shot anything for over a month now. I should really get it out and shoot something otherwise I may be jeopardising it to all sorts of ailments afflicting shelved electronics (like the dreaded fungus on lens! - touch wood)
Games Games Games!
I have a few videos to edit but just haven't found the time. I have been attending to my other hobbies which I haven't been 'fulfilling'. Final Fantasy XII is now firmly under way in my PS2 and I'm 20 hours in. Very likely this game will suck another 100 hours of my life!! I also had the opportunity to try Gears of Wars on XBOX360 and I have to admit, it deserves the accolades it has won as Game of the Year! I have also been contemplating buying either the PS3 or XBOX360, but I guess at the moment, it is not the time yet. However I can hold out on these Next Gen consoles when you still have FFXII and God of War 2 still on the platform! I have also been reading up at Rano's site about the Pro Evo tournament that is regularly held these days. I have always wanted to test my skills against other people, but fear I might end up embarrassing myself in front of the public, beaten by some 13 year old 20-0. That would be painful. However with friends, I usually hold my own, but my defensive play is atrocious. I can NEVER keep a clean sheet.
Is that a chainsaw on the gun??!!!Charity Work
I have done nothing on this front since starting my new job. However I have some ideas planned and would like to launch it to tie it into my new job, so we shall see how we will go about doing it.
TV and Movies
I've been able to atch up on this front really good this month. 300 is a MUST WATCH movie and totally enjoyed it. However the infantile calls and yelps from pubescent boys in the cinema when there was a sex scene was annoying (it's an R rated movie! where the hell was the attendant checking ID? oh well, as my friend said to me yesterday, TIB - This is Brunei). On the TV front: Heroes is very good, Prison Break Season 2 as well, and I finally decided to watch 24 Season 1. YES Season 1. I have not watched even a single episode of this show as I wanted to watch these 'To Be Continued' stype of series all in one go. I hate having to wait one whole week for the next one to come up.
OK that's enough spilling abouit my personal life. This month has been mostly about my personal development at work and how much I am learning inmy new job. I love the fact that I get to see the business from all fronts, as a whole, rather than just from one side (e.g. in just one department).
Adios, I'll try to have a video up soon. I am still thinking of doing an Artsy type film but just can't seem to find the time.
