Full-Page Profile Pic

I love tinkering on such small things. Staying up late for just about anything. Then I stumbled upon this great new "Facebook Profile Hack" as they call it. It is not a hack on Zuckerberg's baby but it is actually a series of photos placed together to create a seamless continuity. It's like pimping your own profile.

Here's what I did:

Here are the Steps

• Find a quality picture of your face or some curious scenario (drawing, message, etc... be creative)
• Use the form below to upload your picture, getting in return a ZIP file that contains sliced pictures ready to post to Facebook!
• Facebook posting instructions:
  • First, replace your profile image with the elongated 180x540 image
  • Then, upload the 5 small 97x68 images to a new album, in order from left to right (1, 2, ...)
  • Finally, tag yourself in these 5 small images, in order from right to left (backwards)
  • Adjust your bio to take up zero lines (so that images align). This means removing education, work, and location information from your profile. Don't worry, you can add it back later.
  • Note that you'll need to view your profile from another account (or while not logged in) to verify that it's displaying correctly (that's because Facebook adds extra line to your bio while you're logged in)

Looked too taxing for you? Well here's a tip: Go to your Facebook page then search for Schweppes, you know, the beverage brand that is sold around the world. It includes a variety of carbonated water and ginger ales. Click on "Like" then It'll direct you to the app. Schweppes, sponsored the Facebook app to create and preview the profile pictures. (Somebody has to sponsor this app to run, ya know).


Cheers!

Adieu! Je Suis Gourmand

First Monday of 2011 and this is what I saw. A closed-door Gourmand with tables and chairs piled up in the corner. I learned the news about it's closure last December from a waiter who works at the establishment. He was my officemates' cigarette buddy. He told us that Gourmand is not doing so well and had to close it's doors due to high pay rent and costs of raw ingredients.

We asked him "but the restaurant is always packed with celebrities and politicians even local and international athletes, why the closure?" It wouldn't suffice. he said. Dang, I've seen the most influential personalities dined here: From Imelda Marcos, Manny Villar, Gloria Arroyo, Jamby Madrigal, Richard Gordon to Kobe Bryant, Kuya Kim Atienza, Aga Mulach and faces that you know are influential because their face's shines. Not to mention those 2010 election months, this joint is packed that the whole stretch of 3rd avenue is a makeshift parking lot for luxury cars, escort SUVs and motorcycles (wang-wang is not yet banned). We drooled over Audi R8's, Porche's, Ferrari's, Escalades and Lambo's.

I had witnessed the awesomeness and the crowd-drawning, Je Suis Gourmand. Never had the chance to dine here though. Never. I had been a gazer in the area. I had my chance of dining here courtesy of my office mate. She told me last December that she'll treat me here before it closes it's door. But I turned down the chance and decided to eat at Friday's. A sudden guilt and sadness that I had given the chance to try their Foie Gras & Saffron Risotto but my teammates won't.

Howell, now me and the rest of the team will have to create or discover another venue to talk about. No more who's who and luxury cars. No more shabby chicks and those "dressed-to-the-nines" guests. Time to use that what we call imagination. Adieu! Je Suis Gourmand, I'm going up to my office now and I hope to see you again somewhere. anywhere.
