Posted by tekgik under kaBlog

Oly Ruiz together with Chax Patulot and Rache Resurrection (Metrophotography) took the EOS 5D Mark II pre-prod unit for a test drive in their latest e-session (pre-nuptial pictorial).

I admire their style, they are one of the uprising heavies in Philippine weddings and Im proud to say that they are my colleagues from PiPho.

Worldwide recall of Apple Macbook Pro with Nvidia Display Card

Posted by tekgik under News, Tech, kaBlog

Apple is offering free refund, repair of Macbook Pro.

Read below from Apple Support

Symptoms

In July 2008, NVIDIA publicly acknowledged a higher than normal failure rate for some of their graphics processors due to a packaging defect. At that same time, NVIDIA assured Apple that Mac computers with these graphics processors were not affected. However, after an Apple-led investigation, Apple has determined that some MacBook Pro computers with the NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processor may be affected. If the NVIDIA graphics processor in your MacBook Pro has failed, or fails within two years of the original date of purchase, a repair will be done free of charge, even if your MacBook Pro is out of warranty.

What to look for:

  • Distorted or scrambled video on the computer screen
  • No video on the computer screen (or external display) even though the computer is on

Specific products affected:

  • MacBook Pro 15-inch and 17-inch models with NVIDIA GeForce 8600M GT graphics processors
    • MacBook Pro (17-Inch, 2.4GHz)
    • MacBook Pro (15-Inch, 2.4/2.2GHz)
    • MacBook Pro (Early 2008)
  • These computers were manufactured between approximately May 2007 and September 2008
Luckily, my MBP have no sign of these although I have a different problem with my unit, it freezes and slows down quite often. :/

Up up and away

Posted by tekgik under Travel, kaBlog

I was digging my pictures folder on my mac today. I saw this shot, photo taken by a friend Terence Baluyot at the 12th Philippine Hot Air Balloon Festival last February 2008. He was the one who gave the slot to me flying with the giant octopus balloon.

Seen in the Photo (left) is the Pilot Mr. Ota from Japan.

Thank God for her 2nd life

Posted by tekgik under kaBlog

Last Monday night my Lola had a stroke. I didnt have a clue that she had this until tuesday morning when I learned she is undergoing an operation in his head. It was a devastating news and i really cant express how anxious how i felt that time. My Lola Cuning is 70 years old she is my closest Lola, she is a very hardworking lady, she raised her children (my father and his siblings) from a very humble beginnings. She is very a industrious. I admire her very much. I just visited her in the ICU this evening and I happily found out that she can respond now, she regained her consciousness.

I thank God for it. Hopefully she recovers soon.

4 architectural locations

Posted by tekgik under Architectural, Commercial, industrial, kaBlog

Just finished shooting 4 locations today all architectural shots.. wheww we were given a good weather until the rain poured in the afternoon at the last location. We will manipulate the clouds for that one. Sorry can’t show you the photos, lets just say it is 3 of the known mall within the metro and one old condo-office in Makati. ;)

We almost had a problem with one of the location since we dont have permit, I rarely seldomly do this but we have no choice.. I always demand my clients to secure a permit for smooth workflow of photo shooting. I can’t concentrate when you know that someone will grab you and say “Sir bawal po yan”.
