Markku Seguerra’s weblog.
I could tell you now how I endured my 9–day nightmare without internet and how I fixed the problem all by myself (no thanks to Smart Bro), but that would be unfair to all (yes, all five of you) of my readers who visit this site wanting to know what I’ve really been doing these [...]
Smart Bro broadband internet is hell. Literally. I’m on my seventh day of their non–service and there are no signs that things will get better soon.
Wish me luck. I guess it’s the only thing that could help me now.
Luck strikes, sometimes. It was supposed to be a lazy day, but since I was invited to Nokia’s “Who Do You Think Are?” launch to introduce the 7210 Supernova and the 2680 slide, I had to move my butt quite earlier than usual to get there on time. I felt it was going to be [...]
Of course you’ve heard of Bratpack the bag shop, right? They carry some of the most popular brands like Jansport, Hedgren, and Timbuk2. This week, they will be opening a new branch in Greenbelt 5 and to coincide with this event, they’ve been running some online promotions. I was fortunate enough to be a part [...]
It works. The M+K lensbaby I borrowed can take nice photos! But one in every hundred shots, I guess.
It’s not everyday we get the chance to make a difference in other people’s lives. When our friends Mar and Mic pitched the idea of conducting a medical mission for the Dumagats of Sierra Madre, we were told it was going to be a lot different than similar activities. The Dumagat people basically thrived in [...]
The first time I heard from Matt about WordPress 2.7’s new interface in WordCamp Philippines, I was excited to see some new UI elements and concepts taking a more prominent role in the whole application. After all, blogs and web applications were supposed to be way ahead in adopting new approaches in designs and interfaces.
I [...]
Nards and Aggie were among the first few I met when Joey invited me to a RockEd event. They certainly were very accommodating, just like most RockEd volunteers. I noticed I shared a common passion with them, they also loved taking photos. From then on, I’d never see them apart every time I’d get the [...]
The old theme I’ve been using for four years or so is now out of service. I’ve fondly called it “rev3″ as I consider it my third major design revision, though within it there were several micro–versions. I think I’ll be playing with this new thing I call “R8,” all in its single–column goodness. If [...]
In the early hours of dawn on the day of the wedding, it was raining so hard that it felt almost impossible for the weather to clear up. It was going to be Mimi & Karl’s Boracay wedding in the afternoon but with such terribly unpredictable showers, we were afraid it was gonna be far [...]
If you’re not into karaoke much unlike 99 percent of the Filipino population, this might get you into Red Box anyway. Riding the crazy idea we got to test a few months ago, Red Box has now equipped a handful of rooms with Nintendo Wii game consoles, putting a twist in the usual weekend barkada [...]
VPS hosting is the future.
After quite some time using Dreamhost’s shared hosting service, I finally moved most of my sites to a Linux VPS. Not that I’m extremely disappointed with Dreamhost, it just so happened that I’ve been hearing good praises on VPS hosting when compared to traditional shared hosting, especially with Slicehost. That, and [...]
I did tell you I was slated to speak at WordCamp Philippines last week, right? I’m not so sure if I managed to expound on my topic acceptably, but hopefully I gave fellow WordPress users an idea on how to approach the task of coding your own WordPress plugin. If in doubt, you can always [...]
I’ll be speaking later at WordCamp Philippines 2008, discussing “Developing WordPress Plugins.” Wish me luck and see you there!
May isang umaga na tayo’y magsasama
Haya at halina sa alapaap
O anong sarap
So it was a promise after all. Alapaap’s surreal–sounding opening verse, sometimes omitted in our minds in favor of the upbeat chorus and other verses, was in hindsight an assurance that no matter what, against all odds, there is that one day when we’ll [...]
This year’s Oktoberfest will be the first time San Miguel Beer goes beyond the typical one month celebration, now with 120 days of fiesta that goes on and on all over the country. Coinciding with the festival, San Miguel is coming out with a limited edition San Miguel Oktoberfest Beer — a new beer that’s [...]
Yes there’s a healthy way of doing hot pot dining, and Healthy Shabu Shabu is the place for you to try it. When I got the SMS invite for the opportunity to try it, I was apprehensive, worried that this might just be one of the few types of food and dining that I may [...]
… in your eyes.
I just fell
Don’t know why
Something is there
We can’t deny
Ooh, when I first knew
Was when I first looked at you
Happy anniversary pangga!
I promised AJ and Poyt that I will be posting the photos I took at the awarding/eyeball event in a day’s time, so here’s the whole set. I also promised Aileen that I’ll post my first blog entry in You Got Tech; I wrote a short blurb with photos from the event, with my short [...]
The first time we knew about Lifehouse’s concert here in Manila, Hana was instantly disappointed as it’s on the same date as my mother’s birthday. She wanted to watch it so badly that she even blogged about it. (It’s a rarity for both of us these days.)
When Aileen’s sweetie messaged me if we wanted to [...]
Totoo na daw talaga yung balita, tara, game na!
Pero sandali eto muna, Five on Friday muna tayo, late nga lang, walang wifi kanina eh. (Okay lang, Friday pa naman sa ibang bansa ngayon.) Eto five song verses na feeling ko applicable sa e–heads reunion fever, uso daw ngayon eh.
Naalala kita ilang bukas pa ba
Bago tayo [...]
Other bloggers have already written about this though it seems all information are coming from a single source. The clues are giveaways though and the plot almost too good to be true, but everyone’s wishing for a miracle anyway: the Eraserheads are reuniting for a concert on August 30, 2008!
You can’t miss it. The teaser [...]
At saan ka pupunta?
This is my 500th entry on this blog, a milestone of sorts despite taking seven years to get there. As you have known by now, and I’m sure you know because you’ve been here before and I hardly get new readers these days, this weblog lives on the magic of non–existent updates. The patience to [...]
Once in a while, we desperately need to practice our brain’s creative side just to make sure it works as expected when needed. Not many of us are actually blessed with a day job that pushes the limits of our creative bounds, which is probably why most of us turn to photography and/or writing for [...]
Only in the Philippines do we get important holidays moved to other dates. Sucks, right?
This may sound not too manly, but I used to enjoy watching the original Sex And The City on HBO. It was one of those you’d watch because everyone was talking about it anyway. The show’s run of six seasons was long enough that you’d still remember the little details four years after their final [...]
… and we weren’t doing much, just watching the kids play in the rain.
Sarap maging bata muli…
Barely making it to iBlog4, I came in just enough to catch the group pictorials as the conference concluded. I had my camera with my ultra–wide mounted so I volunteered to take the class picture. These aren’t exactly spectacular group pics, but we’ll do better next year.
You can have them in hi–res: Photo [...]
Mervin and Bebbet were my officemates in my last 8–to–5 job. When I started shooting with a digital SLR, these two were willing models who would rarely pass on the chance to smile for the camera. We were all just a bunch of friends who had lots of fun at the office.
When they heard about [...]
I barely made it to iBlog4, I got in just enough to consider myself an attendee, which makes me one of not too many bloggers who’ve been in all the iBlog summits. It is nice to know we Filipino bloggers have come this far.
At the afterparty, I took some portraits of fellow bloggers I managed [...]

I am a big Jackie Chan fan. Expectedly, it follows that I also love watching other Asian stars rising from the martial arts genre. So when I came across an online article about the movie “The Forbidden Kingdom” starring both Jackie Chan and Jet Li, I knew I just had to see it. Fortunately [...]
The fourth iBlog will be on April 26, 2008 at the Malcolm Theater in the College of Law, UP–Diliman, Quezon City. The iBlog is one of the longest running blogging–related events in the Philippines, and has been instrumental in educating local bloggers on various topics of interest. It has also been responsible for building relationships [...]
I’ve been neglecting this blog quite blatantly that it’s been two weeks since my last entry, so I’ll just post something that supposedly comes to me naturally — share photos.
The mountain view was breathtaking, Batanes was more than I imagined it to be. The photo has two of our friends from Epson, taking a quick [...]
Having my own company has always been a dream; I’ve always wanted my own startup. When Jayvee broached the idea of setting up an advertising network focused on local weblogs and advertisers, I knew it was going to be the perfect opportunity for me to hack away on web solutions I actually will use. The [...]
The Nokia N82 is one of Nokia’s most hyped phone in recent months. It’s not exactly new, it was announced last year though the local (and regional) campaign promoting this model is still in full swing, called Nokia Nseries Soul of the Night. I’m sure you’ve seen or heard about the campaign as it’s almost [...]
#Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon.
I am forsaking all the rest, just to reach you, just to reach you. Just to reach you.
I don’t care what they think, I don’t care what they say.
Come to my window, I’ll be home soon.
This is my alternate set for the Epson photo essay contest we [...]
Yesterday, I got my driver’s license renewed just in time for today’s deadline. It took just around thirty minutes, all in the comfort of a shopping mall. Wonderful.
And then I realized that as of today, I’m officially off the non–leap year February calendar, if you know what I mean. How fast time flies.
The thing about [...]
More often than not, a typical weekend gimik involves a few (or several) rounds of beer or some other alcoholic treat, followed by very late night, actually early morning coffee, just before heading home. Now you can have both, at the same time.
Delifrance brings us coffee that packs a punch, a first for local coffee [...]
This blog has been running on a customized 1.5–based WordPress for a few years now. As a result of my modifications, it has slowly showed its age and weaknesses in the backend. I’ve been unable to take advantage of the better plugins out there, though thinking about it now I still had all the features [...]
For the past two entries I’ve been hinting on a life–changing experience concerning our recent trip to Batanes. I wanted a creative narrative of the events; unfortunately there might be no way to completely re–tell our story. K-THOS (Karl, The Hero of Sabtang) though has a real and heartfelt account of what transpired. And who [...]
Before I talk about the drama I’ve been selling in my previous entry, here’s five photos I submitted as my photo essay for our photo contest in Batanes. I didn’t win, but fortunately, my pangga Hana did! She got one of three special prizes, the other two going to Mimi and Ferdz. AJ got [...]
I was somehow doubtful if I would be able to write this, and the fact that you’re reading this only means I’m alive.
This week’s lesson: what God has given, God can take away. Anytime He wishes. Embrace life to the fullest.
Auraeus left a comment on my post about his movie Pisay, I think is worth sharing with everyone:
“Pisay is a beautiful film, simple and sophisticated, direct and campy, one that gets better and better as it goes along. From the evidence gathered, the praise is valid for Filipino cinema as a whole, which is undergoing [...]
Though I’ve always wanted to buy a MacBook, it was hard to resist getting an Asus Eee PC considering its relatively low price. Since I have another laptop, the Eee’s supposed to fit well into my system: a primary laptop for photo editing and heavy work, with the Eee for mobile computing and simple show–and–tell [...]
Juned tagged me for this ongoing meme for University of the Philippines grads, so I expect Joey, Mic, Brymac, Jonas, Mida, Ederic, Jaemark, and Mimi & Karl to do this after me.
UP Survey
Maligayang ika-100 taon, mga Iskolar ng Bayan!
Student number?
96-05576. Shet, lagpas 10 years ago na pala yun!
College?
Engineering. So kahit six years ako sa UP, [...]
If you have a copy of today’s Manila Bulletin, find the Travel & Tourism section and you’ll see some photos I took, published on a national daily! Not officially the first, but this one’s special since I got to shoot an up and coming place that should be a regular in the long list of [...]
Happy new year. I just lost my phone a few days ago, and don’t have a permanent number just yet. I guess this blog’s the best way to reach me for now, and good ol’ email.
To the sucker who thought that finders keepers is a valid rule of life, may God have mercy on your [...]
#Hello. I’m Markku and this is rebelpixel.com, my weblog. I am a photographer, web developer, writer — I guess I’m a full–time part–timer. More about me?
