Vegas Trip Report
New Years Eve
1. Arrived at 7 pm and stayed at the Palazzo.(Thanks to the comment of one my readers on my Vegas post last year). He's right! way better than Bellagio!
2. Reunited with some old friends from L.A , Indiana and Sweden and dine at SushiSamba at the same hotel till 11:30 pm.
3. Watched fireworks together with the huge crowd in front of Treasure Island.
4. Waited a long line to go party at Lavo.
5. Crazy night lasted till 3 in the morning.
Day 2
1. Woke up at 11 in the morning.
2. Buffet lunch at Wynn (better ambiance)
3. Explored the newest hotel in the Strip- Aria ( pretty dark casino but great architecture). I would love to stay here next time.
4. Watched Le Reve at Wynn (took a 20 min nap while watching)
5. Dinner at Grand Lux Café at the Palazzo.
6. Tried my luck at the casino ( I won!)
7. Went to bed around 3 in the morning again.
Day 3
1. Half awake at 11 in the morning.
2. Buffet lunch at the Bellagio ( great food selection)
3. Went small shopping.
4. Too tired for the day, went back to the hotel and slept for 2 hours.
5. Dinner at Serendipity 3 at Caesars Palace. (you should try their famous Frrrozen Hot chocolate!)
6. Watched Jersey Boys at the Palazzo ( loved the show!)
7. Clubbing at Tao at the Venetian ( no more long lines if you’re staying at this hotel or at the Palazzo) Too crowded, but better compared to Lavo.
8. Third night ended at 4 in the morning.
Day 4
1. Off to bed at 7 in the morning to catch my flight at 9:00.
2. Slept the rest of the flight.
3. Back to reality.
Vegas is a wonderful escape, an entertainment mecca and is what you make it. I must admit it was expensive but if you worked so hard to earn your money then you deserve to treat yourself!
Would you be my date the next time?
Hope you all have a great new year too!

2010: Less Drama, More Fun
I rented the movie The Hangover the other night with low expectations wanting just a ready laugh. Surprisingly, it was hilarious! I haven’t laughed so hard since Superbad. Although I admit it is a bit over the top sometimes in a crude way, I thoroughly enjoyed it! Maybe I’m just a dumbass who like this kind of flick!
Anyway, I’ll be flying back to Vegas on New Years Eve and let’s see what will happen!
It will be another journey next year, I just hope I can still continue blogging despite the busy schedule. I’m saddened by the fact that most of my blogger friends are not updating anymore (yes, I still visit your blogs!) worst, some of them deleted their sites. (blame it to Facebook)lol!
And to the loyal readers of this blog, a big surprise awaits you from Coldman!
A roundtrip ticket to Singapore and be the first one to see the most anticipated opening of Universal Studios early next year! Yey!
Of course, I'm kidding!
Have a prosperous New Year everyone!
Let us all be happy!

Cold Hearted
No one to hug except this starry starry gift box this cold Christmas!
It's been almost 3 years that I've never been home. I just really miss my family and friends.
Anyway, Coldman still wishes you all a Merry Christmas!

Cougar Town
What would you do if a cougar is hitting on you?
At the Christmas Party, after dancing with her
Hotmama: Would you like to join us for a drink in Downtown? I can buy you one!
Coldman: Yeah! why not?!
Hotmama: I'll see you then at #**%$##. Do you know the place?
Coldman: Yeah! Okay, I'll see you there!
Later at the bar
Hotmama: Would you like to come at my place?
And I answered.......

Good news from home
Gordon for President
Fernando for VP
Most people think that these team-up has a little chance of winning but I believe they are the most sensible tandem for the coming election.
For goodness' sake, it's time to make change and be an intellectual voter.
It's up to us to make them win. Let us help!
Tayong mga pinoy, likas na matigas ang ulo. Kailangan natin ng matinding disiplina.

How to hide your friends
Pseudo Cool friend #1
update 1: just woke up! ready to go to the office!
after 45 minutes: driving my way to work..gosh traffic!
after 7 minutes: i'm stuck!
after 4 hours: busy working right now! Damn! look who's hungry!
after 20 minutes: steak for lunch! Yum!Yum!
after 5 hours: can wait to go home!
after 2 hours: gotta go to the gym!
after 2 hours: so tired! cant wait to eat my dinner...
after 30 minutes: I think I gained few pounds!Sooooo sad!!!!
after 5 minutes: =)
after 5 minutes: I'm missing someone right now.... (as if we care!)
blah...blah...blah...
Kaibigan kita, pero sobra na.. ok lang namang mag update e, pero flooding?! twitter?! sorry pero kailangan kitang i hide!
Holy friend #2
Update 1: i want everyone to know Christ not just by name but for them to have a deeper relationship with Him!!! It's a different feeling to know and have Christ in your heart!
After 2 hours: Crucified Laid behind the stone You lived to die Rejected and alone Like a rose Trampled on the ground you took the fall and Thought of me Above all
After 30 minutes: Does God really exist? Let's hear it from Albert Einstein (link below)
After 4 hours: serve the Lord with super gladness!
After 20 minutes: I will have my own farm in the future! POWER!!!!
After 1 hour: everything is under His control...He is so good..He leads me to the right path...
After 20 minutes:I'm harvesting again! wohoo!
After 1 hour: For what is faith unless it is to believe what you do not see?
After 30 minutes: By living fully, recognizing that all we do is by His power, we honor God; He in turn blesses us.
Kaibigan, naniniwala naman ako. Pero dyuskupo! di ako kasing bait ni Santino kaya kailangan din kitang itago kasi baka masunog ako.
P.S. Salamat din pala at pwedeng mag untagged ng photos. Trust me, 80% dun sa tagged photos mo, mukha kang ewan!
Tip for the day: "Tag na lang your pics if you want"
Bottomline: Aminin natin, kung gusto mo yung tao, di ka naman naiirita pero pag di mo sya gusto, ang loser ng tingin mo. Tsk.. tsk..

Sometimes in life you wish for everything , then there comes a moment when you stop wishing. It's not because you got what you wanted, but because you finally accepted that not all wishes come true...

Chat with Ex
Based on actual conversation
Ex: Nakakainis ka, naaalala na kita lagi
Coldman: Dahil mahal mo pa rin ako?
Ex: Gago! Naka move on na ako ano! Feeling ka naman!
Coldman: Ouch! E bakit nga?!
Ex: Kasi kamukha mo yung nasa Axe commercial ngayon
Coldman: Malamang malaki din ang mata....
Ex: Medyo, cute nga eh...
Sabay search sa youtube...
Coldman: Hmmm.. di ko naman kamukha
Ex: Ikaw na nga sinasabihan, ayaw mo pang maniwala
Coldman: Sige na nga!
At least may slight hint na kayo kung anong itsura ni Coldman as described by Ex. (malaking joke!)

Nakakapagod
Nakakapagod din palang mag-isa.
Pagkatapos ng isang pagod na araw, uuwi ka ng bahay mag-isa.
Sana naman maranasan kong may makinig sa mga kwento ko, kung kumusta ang maghapon ko.
Pero wala.
Sa totoo lang, habang tumatagal mas lalo akong nagiging malungkot. Kapag lumalalim ang gabi, para akong kandilang nauubos.
Ilang araw na ring di ako makatulog. Ang dami kong iniisip.
Sawa na ako sa unan na kayakap. Sawa na akong mag-isang kumain. Sawa na akong manood mag-isa.
Nakakasawa.
Mahirap ang walang kausap.
Pinipilit kong maging masaya.
Pero hindi.
Mahabang bakasyon man o gimik kasama ng mga kaibigan
Panandaliang lunas lamang.
Trust me, at the end of the dayMag-isa ka pa rin.
Meron pa ring kulang.
Nakakapagod mag-isa.Malungkot.
Ayokong masanay.

12 most annoying types of Facebookers
This article caught my attention and I thought it's worth sharing to those who have not read this yet. By the way, I'm guilty as charged with some! just some. lol!
1.The Let-Me-Tell-You-Every-Detail-of-My-Day Bore
"I'm waking up." "I had Wheaties for breakfast." "I'm bored at work." "I'm stuck in traffic." You're kidding! How fascinating! No moment is too mundane for some people to broadcast unsolicited to the world. Just because you have 432 Facebook friends doesn't mean we all want to know when you're waiting for the bus.
2.The Self-Promoter.
OK, so we've probably all posted at least once about some achievement. And sure, maybe your friends really do want to read the fascinating article you wrote about beet farming. But when almost EVERY update is a link to your blog, your poetry reading, your 10k results or your art show, you sound like a bragger or a self-centered careerist.
3.The Friend-Padder.
The average Facebook user has 120 friends on the site. Schmoozers and social butterflies -- you know, the ones who make lifelong pals on the subway -- might reasonably have 300 or 400. But 1,000 "friends?" Unless you're George Clooney or just won the lottery, no one has that many. That's just showing off.
4.The Town Crier.
"Michael Jackson is dead!!!" You heard it from me first! Me, and the 213,000 other people who all saw it on TMZ. These Matt Drudge wannabes are the reason many of us learn of breaking news not from TV or news sites but from online social networks. In their rush to trumpet the news, these people also spread rumors, half-truths and innuendo. No, Jeff Goldblum did not plunge to his death from a New Zealand cliff.
5.The TMI-er.
"Brad is heading to Walgreens to buy something for these pesky hemorrhoids." Boundaries of privacy and decorum don't seem to exist for these too-much-information updaters, who unabashedly offer up details about their sex lives, marital troubles and bodily functions. Thanks for sharing.
TMI: Too much information. FYI.
6.The Bad Grammarian.
"So sad about Fara Fauset but Im so gladd its friday yippe". Yes, I know the punctuation rules are different in the digital world. And, no, no one likes a spelling-Nazi schoolmarm. But you sound like a moron.
7.The Sympathy-Baiter.
"Barbara is feeling sad today." "Man, am I glad that's over." "Jim could really use some good news about now." Like anglers hunting for fish, these sad sacks cast out their hooks -- baited with vague tales of woe -- in the hopes of landing concerned responses. Genuine bad news is one thing, but these manipulative posts are just pleas for attention.
8.The Lurker.
The Peeping Toms of Facebook, these voyeurs are too cautious, or maybe too lazy, to update their status or write on your wall. But once in a while, you'll be talking to them and they'll mention something you posted, so you know they're on your page, hiding in the shadows. It's just a little creepy.
9.The Crank.
These curmudgeons, like the trolls who spew hate in blog comments, never met something they couldn't complain about. "Carl isn't really that impressed with idiots who don't realize how idiotic they are." [Actual status update.] Keep spreading the love.
10.The Paparazzo.
Ever visit your Facebook page and discover that someone's posted a photo of you from last weekend's party -- a photo you didn't authorize and haven't even seen? You'd really rather not have to explain to your mom why you were leering like a drunken hyena and French-kissing a bottle of Jagermeister.
11.The Maddening Obscurist.
"If not now then when?" "You'll see..." "Grist for the mill." "John is, small world." "Dave thought he was immune, but no. No, he is not." [Actual status updates, all.] Sorry, but you're not being mysterious -- just nonsensical.
12.The Chronic Inviter.
"Support my cause. Sign my petition. Play Mafia Wars with me. Which 'Star Trek' character are you? Here are the 'Top 5 cars I have personally owned.' Here are '25 Things About Me.' Here's a drink. What drink are you? We're related! I took the 'What President Are You?' quiz and found out I'm Millard Fillmore! What president are you?"
You probably mean well, but stop. Just stop. I don't care what president I am -- can't we simply be friends? Now excuse me while I go post the link to this story on my Facebook page.

The New York Engagement
Hello world!
I love New York! This engagement photography session was extra special to me because they're not just my client, but really good friends.
Even though this was supposed to be an engagement photo session, there were lots of crazy moments of us all horsing around. C’mon, I flew to NYC not only to photograph an engagement shoot, but to relax! Anyway, enjoy our adventure!
Great location from Manhattan to the Hamptons!
If you want to watch it in HD- just follow the link!
