Ashley Tisdale – Red by Marc Ecko

with 15 comments

So I guess my dream girl Ashley Tisdale is one the new spokes person for Marc Ecko new shoe line Red, pretty cool how they use her “He Said, She Said” music video as a concept for the actual commercial.

Oh! by the way, Vanessa Anne Hudgens is also another spokes person for Marc Ecko new shoe line Red, I liked Ashley version more, for obvious reason.

Good Christmas/New Year

without comments

First off happy late Christmas and a happy New Year, I’ve been pretty busy, mostly because of work related stuff, Evertec Inc. is a information system and finance management company and this holiday season was a very busy one for the financial world.

I’m so excited to say that once I got my MacMini, a couple of weeks later I got myself a Apple iPod Touch, if anyone has seen my Flickr account you may have seen some of my new Jailbreak Apple iPod Touch, this was my Christmas gift from me to me, also side the MacMini which I also bought. I also got for myself to add to my Ashley Tisdale collection the new “High School Musical 2” DVD, I already seen the freaking DVD about 5 times tops,  and I can stop. My aunt bought me the “Agile Web Developing on Rails” book , which I can wait to start reading and experimenting with it. Also my good friend Ed got me back into World Of Warcraft, he got me the video game for the Mac, which I haven’t had the time to install yet.

Something tells me this year promises to be a very exciting one, one tons of challenges ahead, big future projects and big changes that are bound to happen in my life. I have my head focus on many project that I am very excited to start, and now that I finally got a new Mac I want to get back to my Video editing days, hoping to put a audio/video Podcast together with a couple of friends of mine.

I can’t wait till I finally start my Masters degree in Finance and I hope to keep moving up the working ladder, I love my job at Evertec, save enough money to buy myself a domain and hosting, built my own website hopefully using the skill I learn using the Ruby book and many many other project that I’m totally focus on.
