[UPDATE]
Massimo has an upcoming Photo Book on Bohol which I posted here.
Bohol, Philippines is both a travel article and a book project by Massimo Casal who is now based in Jakarta. This 6-page preview features Bohol’s finest beaches, some history, must-go-see places and exquisite photography. So if you haven’t set foot in Bohol, download the said preview in PDF format here.
Massimo studied as an engineer. His work has given him the opportunity to travel around the world and particularly around Southeast Asia. Through his travels he has cultivated his love for photography. He also has great sets from Hanoi, Vietnam, Myanmar, Cambodia, Thailand, Taiwan, Europe and the Philippines as well.

Of Love, Ironies and Ice Cream
I don’t want to fall in love,
‘Cause every time I do, I get heartbroken.
Although it’s the kind of feeling that I’ve been missing,
Falling out of love makes the world harder to live in.
Places bring out memories and memories bring out tears,
Tears bring out depression and depression lead to eating ice cream.
Ironic how memories seem so fun when it happened,
But hard to bear when you’re looking back at it.
Ironic how one day you care and love somebody,
But hate and forget them in the end.
Ironic how love brings out so many good things,
But I’m writing it in a poem full of negatives.
Oh, I just don’t want to fall in love.
Not because I push away the love approaching,
Or because nobody has swept me off my feet,
But because I’m still putting back all the pieces of my heart
That was once beating and complete.

Automated Attendance System
I don’t know if you’ve heard this from the HNU Dampas Campus, but the Computer Engineering Department just tested the AAS (Automated Attendance System). It’s a simple program designed and programmed by Charles Migriño on Visual Basic. It’s a quick scan of your ID and you’re logged in into the attendance list. No more crappy paper mess, stubs, signatures and the like.
A similar system is now being used by other universities outside Bohol and they’ve been using it for quite some time now. I sometimes wonder why we can’t advance to something like that. Young innovators are dime a dozen and they ought to be given credit for thinking ahead.

Bohol Chronicle Homepage
Earlier this year, we pointed out on our previous post about Bohol News Sites on how they are lagging behind web standards. Last week though, we saw some quite improvements on Bohol Chronicle and The Bohol Sunday Post.
