MOA, SM Expo, Domination Ends Part 06



several hours later the crowd starts pouring in and this continues until 11pm; no rest for the wicked!



after wrapping up the machines, tallying the log files, program results and writing up the summary report, it's finally time to go home. sure as hell tired, but now that it's late, i'm sure i'd be able to floor my way home. peace.

Mall of Asia, Manila Part 02


here is 135 degrees worth of panoramic shot inside the complex still using the nokia E72. a rich ambient light pool does affect the stitching software's performance.

this is a pretty big venue; egames'es domination event boasts of the largest turnout of pre-registered and walk-in guests for SMX and it's held twice a year. the branding and sponsorship the event receives should speak for itself.



same spot, about two hours later. by this time, the crew was testing the acoustics and the performance stage in the center, roughly ten hours before the event officially starts.



while waiting for the electrical facilities group to allocate power into the pre-registered reception booth i decided to take a cigarette break and check on the e34. i am mulling-over buying high intensity discharge kits for the beemer and setting it up myself, i already have a circuit board diagram to bypass the sensitive high-beam detection module, so it's just a matter of time.

Shoe Mart Trade Show, Manila Part 01


heading out to moa (mall of asia) isn't something i look forward to; the flow of traffic from makati to taft avenue on a saturday isn't really popular for lead footed driving not to mention flooring an m60 engine. i'm not so crazy about using the fort bonifacio route as well given that they've imposed a 40KM top speed which is another money making instrument devised by ever-so-untrustworthy-always-scheming-and-super-unreliable "uber-hypocrites"; i swear i saw a worm metamorphose into a butterfly while driving there once. Anyway, a friend later told me that i should have taken the route through buendia, so note-to-self: when going to moa take buendia.

on with the narrative. i needed to go to moa, specifically to SMX, to help out and see to it that the 3D bar-coding system is set up properly; megamobile manages all mobile-to-internet related functions and subsystems that interfaces the consumer, in this case the player, to all of egames' titles. that sounds big on paper but what we really do is give gamers alternative ways of accessing game related services such as account validation and messaging; most of the real work is done by the passionate crew of egames itself.

arriving at around 5pm i proceeded to taking a panoramic shot of SMX; standing on this very spot, surrounded by the the moa complex and a cathedral on the left near the notorious and questionably expensive macapagal boulevard; i can't imagine this was all one big body of sea water a decade ago.



here's another shot. both were taken using a nokia E72. i just wanted to take note here that somehow, maybe due to the lack of ambient light the software on the E72 is having some trouble distinguishing the edges where it should make the blend and thus fail to make a seamless soft-merge. maybe they can improve this on their next version of either the software or the phone series
