WELCOME

What happens when you blend the skills of a systems architect, database designer, applications developer, systems analyst, coldfusion developer and web master into one wizard? And this wizard plays the keyboard practically round the clock.

But wait, this guy is no nerd. Apart from playing the keyboard, he finds time to play basketball and is an excellent cook.

Welcome to my world.

mr. blue

I like blue. My shiny Mercedes is a hypnotizing shade of midnight-blue. I love it.

A touch of blue in a website speaks of corporate reliability, sincerity, down to earth, transparent. IBM is called the big blue.

You can suit your taste if you don't feel like blue today. It's a free world you know. This reveals the true color of my Canadian tolerance. Go ahead and play with the crayons.

my music

Imagine a world without music. It's like seeing in black and white.

I like smooth jazz, contemporary progressive and anything in between. It soothes and detoxs. My music washes away the dust of everyday life and recharges you for the next. Add a dash of retro 80's and you're floating into memory lane. Old fashioned? I like to think that.

I collect interesting pix from the places where I travel.

Witness the making of the tallest tower in the whole world. The Burj Dubai ("Dubai Tower" translated in english). Started construction in April 15, 2005, its height is kept secret until its final completion. Estimates put it at around 800 meters (2,600 feet) minimum and upto 900 meters (3,000 feet). Woooow! The entire project will cost somewhere in the range of USD 8 Billion.

At the Wafi Centre's extension is this impressive roof designed in Egyptian art that glows as the sunlight penetrates the mall. It's the first thing that catches your eye once you enter from the covered car parking to the new extension. For some, it may not be a big deal, but I think this is really kewwwl.

This sign below looks familiar, but I can't seem to remember it. Color theory says it's definitely food alright, but what?

A: The script in arabic says 'bitza hat'. They don't have the letter P, thus you encounter things like:

No Barking, No Broblem, JC Benny. Others have it all mixed up and address me as Pompie Bascual.

Yes, I do read and write arabic. I guess I've been here for too long, eh?
