Proceeds of images, videos and the website itself will be used in fabricating customized bike racks. We initially plan to make 100 of these, so we can donate it to places where every biker needs it.

And we're back! MabuHigh!

How's everyone? We've been down for a couple of days, we're sorry about that. The blogger on this site are all alive and definitely kicking! I was not able to retrieve the articles I've posted before in our previous site, so let's get started again. I will be posting new blogs about the Holy Weed, so just seat tight and relax. The weather is inviting so if you got some there, take a draw and pass it on. Jah bless us all and mabuHigh!

planking!

Planking or the lying down game is an activity consisting of lying face down in an unusual or incongruous location. The hands must touch the sides of the body and having a photograph of the participant taken and posted on the internet is an integral part of the game. Players compete to find the most unusual and original location in which to play. The term planking is described as the practice of lying down flat with arms to the side, to mimic a wooden plank.

Planking -- also known as the Lying Down Game -- is the seemingly harmless trend of lying face down, perfectly stiff, on various structures in public. It seems the game originated in 1997, and it became known as "planking" in Australia. Although a seemingly harmless activity, planking gained further attention recently after a Australian man was killed after trying to plank off his roof. He fell seven stories to his death. "There's a difference between a harmless bit of fun done somewhere that's really safe and taking a risk with your life,'' Julia Gillard apparently told reporters according to The Australian.

Still many are participating in the craze, and the movement is only growing larger. Here's a collection of planking Twitpics uploaded recently.


13th Red Horse Pambansang Muziklaban First Ever Online Press Launch

(This was an edited repost due to some idiot removed/hacked/fondled with my wordpress.)


I was invited by my former classmate and co-blogger Mel Ardenio (melardenio.com) to blog about the Muziklaban and being a rock fan, why not! I was really excited about the idea and it will also be a good post for my site. And here is how it goes! 


The Beer Promise




This was supposed to be one helluvan experience but turned out be a farce (at least to my own little opinion). They promised beer during the event but never happened. 




So it's ok that happens, this is still a press launch and this will be my first time to interview rock icons like Pepe Smith, Slapshock and the likes. 


The Super Secure Login


And then the logging in process... sweet Jesus! I was sent back to the day when I was looking at the keyboard while I type. I am sure I am pressing the right PIN number but unfortunately it is not accepting it and returns a "Try again message...". And then I gave up. 

I asked my friend who invited me to join the press launch to use a generic login and after 30-40 minutes of frustrating myself... I was able to login! 

The Press Launch



There were 2 cameras setup, one pointing at the stage and one at the backstage where rock icons were being interviewed. The audio was horrible because of the microphone feedback from the stage and the server is too slow that the video stream is somewhat reminiscent to 2002 internet connection speeds! I recognized Jamir (Slapshock frontman) after 30 seconds on cam 2. 




The Consolation Price


Around 1:00 am (after 5 hours after the concert), my Mom pinged me through chat that I have a package. Aha! Could it be true that St. Red Horse finally arrived? Yeah it did and it had lots of goodies in it:





  • 1 Case of Red Horse In Can 



  • Red Horse Ibarra/Muziklaban T-Shirt

  • Red Horse Muziklaban Press Launch Artists Posters

  • Red Horse Muziklaban Cap

  • Red Horse Lighter 

  • Muziklaban Press Launch Artists CD

  • Red Horse Sticker




The Verdict


Man, the concert/press launch was truly a waste of time but the beer isn't! Some folks were able to connect without any problems that I start to question myself. I am degree holder of computer studies and a supervisor for a webhosting company, what could I have done wrong? I have triple core computers, a 3 mbps connection, ping of 8-14 ms and manually setup my router to make sure I utilized my speed properly... 


What could I have done wrong? Or is it me?


I emailed rogue360 (the organizer of the press launch) about my experience right after I really gave up on the event but up to now I haven't received any replies from them... typical Pinoy...

this is the new imbamanila!


Our old wordpress blog was hacked by a "feeling hacker" co-employee and tried to point the IP to somewhere else and deleted every post that we had. Unfortunately, we work in an environment of people that felt they are superior than others! Unfortunately, I trained one and now he/she/it is biting the master's hand! That motherfucker will be crucified one way or another... it is just a matter of time! I would like to formally thank him for not getting me fired because we are close to getting money out of what we do and made me think... this fucking idiot gave me a break!


For the followers:


Imbamanila was upped for only one reason... inform, deform and make sure everyone's in the norm. Kahit ano pwede i-post, malalaki na kayo... Kung gusto mo magpasikat pwede rin wag ka lang baduy. Pwede ang bastos wag lang masyadong baboy. Pwede ang manira at maging kritiko, wag ka lang pikon. Pwede mag Ingles, ayusin mo lang ang grammar mo. Ang idea mo ang yaman ng imbamanila. Sabi nga nila, it all starts with picking the right domain and everything after that is history. Hindi naman pinapangarap ng imbamanila na maging household name gaya ng sulit.com, tsikot.com or kahit ano pang sikat na website sa Pinas. Our main goal is to have a medium that we little people can use to express our thoughts... mahalaga man o hindi!


Blog on and let history roll from this point on!
