French-American foreign war correspondent Diego Luis Buñuel never wanted his mother to get nervous knowing where his assignment would be so he always told his production crew in their Paris office, “Don’t tell my mother.” Thankfully, his colleagues always heeded his requests.

Since 2001, Diego has covered the 9/11 terrorist attacks and the US intervention in Afghanistan. In 2003, he was embedded with the US Marine Corps in Baghdad and had reported on the Second Congo War, the 2004 tsunami in Indonesia, and Yasser Arafat’s funeral.

I don’t know if it’s a good point of view pushing someone to work hard so they would be able to get the things they desire in life, but in one way or another, I still believe it’s a good persuasion.

For the last 3 to 4 years of working on a typical office, I bought myself a personal computer, a Polaroid camera, and because I’m a music enthusiast for life, I bought a small personal amplifier (with built in radio), mp3 (with video), but still I want some more! Read the rest of this entry »

Stuck at home on a weekend? Lounging at home need not be as boring or wearisome as it sounds. With minimal effort (like dimming the lights, setting up a 5.1 or 7.1 surround sound speaker system, or angling seats a certain way), an ordinary living room can turn into a personal theater that can entertain even the most sophisticated of film buffs or couch potatoes.
