KFC
Kentucky Fried Chicken became KFC in the 1990s to avoid the unhealthy connotations of the word fried. Its iconic founder, Colonel Sanders, has become increasingly prominent. He’s kept the string tie but has added an apron, so customers won’t feel he has lost his talent for home-style cooking.

Pepsi
Pepsi’s logo started out similar to Coca-Cola’s, but the company has adopted a philosophy of gradual change. “The best logo redesigns are by evolution, not revolution,” says design expert David Carter. That may be why in the current logo, you can still see the bottle cap.
My third grade "research" paper which I did on Darwin and Evolution. Yeah even in 1982 I was weird ;-)
Wow, long time no see. Im so sorry for disappearing. I think i just kind of burnt out. School has been crazy and it just kinda sucked the creativity right outta me. The 52 week project is dead, obviously. Lol. This is a photo i took for my art class. Its really different to my usual stuff, as it had to be inspired by Petrina Hicks. But, hey, im not against experimenting. I will try to upload more regularly, but im not making any promises.
Only one more year and then i get my life back.

Eight men commence ministry for the Church
Story and photos by Ambria Hammel | Nov. 15, 2010 | The Catholic Sun
A baptism at St. Gabriel the Archangel Parish in Cave Creek last week marked a double cause for celebration for one man in particular.
The waters of baptism signaled the first step of a lifelong journey in faith for the 2-month-old boy and the first time the celebrant — the infant’s grandfather — administered the sacrament as a permanent deacon for the Church.
One day prior, Deacon Robert Torigian was among eight men, all married with children, whom Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted ordained to the diaconate Nov. 6 at Ss. Simon and Jude Cathedral. They join 239 permanent deacons serving the Phoenix Diocese from the altar, within parish ministries and in the greater community.
“I know that each of them has what it takes to be an effective, caring deacon and a powerful witness of Jesus, the Servant of all,” said Deacon Doug Bogart, associate director of education and formation for the diaconate.
He described them as smart and creative. The new deacons, ages 42-60, have a strong commitment to service, particularly to the bishop, their parishes and to the poor, Deacon Bogart added.
Bishop Olmsted told a crowded cathedral filled with extended family, friends, priests and fellow deacons that deacons represent the charity of the Church. Therefore, he said, they will see the new deacons as disciples seeking “not to be served, but to serve.”
Then he spoke directly to his eight newest “sons.”
“You receive sacred authority to teach in the name of the Church. Such teachings are badly needed,” the bishop said. He cautioned them to resist the temptation to omit any teaching that may not be popular.
“Hand it on faithfully in its organic wholeness,” the bishop said.
One by one all eight deacon candidates knelt in front of the bishop, placed their hands in his and promised their fidelity.
Then the entire church offered a litany of supplication while the candidates fully prostrated themselves down the cathedral’s center aisle. It marked their act of submission.
When they got up, the new deacons spread themselves along the foot of the altar where priests vested them for the first time. Jesuit Father Dave Klein vested his brother Deacon Tom Klein, who will be the only deacon serving St. Francis Xavier Parish.
Deacon Klein also cited his other brother, a St. Thomas the Apostle parishioner and longtime Vincentian, as influential in his discernment.
“It’s been a lifetime evolution for me. There was no lightning bolt moment,” Deacon Klein said in his final hour before ordination.
Deacon Klein, who also works as a trial lawyer, will head the parish’s busy marriage preparation program. He hopes to encourage parishioners of all ages to become more active in the Church.
Once vested, the deacons knelt a final time in front of Bishop Olmsted as he symbolically handed each of them the Book of the Gospels.
“Now you are not only hearers of the Gospels, but also its ministers,” the bishop said.
The deacons finished their ordination Mass from the altar and helped distribute the Eucharist.
Hope for the future
“We, today, witnessed the living faith being handed on from generation to generation so that the Church of Christ will never be without the sacraments of the three holy orders of the Church,” Bishop Eduardo A. Nevares said during a brief program at a post-ordination reception.
Providing for the future of the Church, especially by administering the sacrament of baptism, is what several new deacons looked forward to in their first weeks of ordained ministry. One had eight baptisms lined up during his first week.
“That is the joy and source of hope,” said Deacon David Runyan, a retired meteorologist who will serve St. Andrew the Apostle Parish in Chandler and El Cristo Rey Parish at the Grand Canyon in the summertime.
Deacon Torigian, who baptized his grandson, plans to remind older Catholics of their baptismal obligation to come to know and serve the Lord, he said.
The new deacon and longtime physician assistant should know a thing or two about service. He devoted so much time to pastoral ministry in his native Detroit that several deacons invited him to consider joining the diaconate. He finished formation in Phoenix.
Outside of parish work at St. Gabriel, Deacon Torigian will also help the diocesan Office of Natural Family Planning develop curriculum for Catholic high school students.
Deacon Jim Gall, who for a while didn’t know what a deacon was but always liked to serve others, also looks forward to living the deacon motto of servant leadership.
He gained a deeper prayer life during the formation process. It’s helped him see things with spiritual eyes instead of reacting based on temperament, he said.
“I could never go back to the way I was,” Deacon Gall said.
Most new deacons said they gained a deeper spirituality and strengthened their marriage and family relationships during formation.
“I just thank God that I finally said yes,” said Deacon Al Homiski, a parish administrator at St. Bernadette in Scottsdale. He admitted putting off repeated invitations to join the diaconate for years.
The five-year formation process in Phoenix involves two years of weekly Kino classes, monthly diaconate meetings with candidates and their wives, practicums including at St. Joseph’s Hospital and Medical Center, and twice daily prayer. The experience is enough to impact the entire family.
Deacon Ron Johnson saw a noticeable change in the spiritual lives of his three children as well during formation. The psychologist first felt called to the diaconate during a Cursillo weekend seven years ago and is looking forward to being the first Spanish-speaking deacon in the Flagstaff area.
He’ll also travel with Fr. Pat Mowrer throughout the north deanery supporting other parishes and missions.
Deacon Jason Robinson said he was always attracted to serving the Church. He applied to the priesthood after high school and entered further discernment.
He soon met his wife through a singles ministry and continued to search for his niche in the Church.
“I had this passion for the Church kind of from the inside, yet I was a working man,” the software developer said, “so I was always a bridge.”
He thought about entering the diaconate later in life. A personal invitation to the diaconate expedited his formation and ordination.
His ministry will include prison and Native American outreach plus parish work.
“Thank you for responding to God,” Deacon Jim Trant, director of the diaconate told the diocese’s newest deacons, “for doing and acting upon His will.”

Ondoy, Ondoy, you bad, bad, BAD boy. The past week was an ADVENTURE, one of the events in my life that definitely put things back into perspective; some parts of your life are magnified, and some just sublimate, leaving you to say, “And I was scared of that?” While I’ve always had an irrational desire to live through a zombie disaster movie (raiding stores for floor-length leather (sorry Jenna maybe PVC will do haha) trench coats – watch out John Varvatos!!! – ala Neo and Trinity, prying shotguns, shells and magazines from the hands of half-eaten police officers, and blasting off rotting zombie heads with a satisfying crunch), typhoons are definitely not fun and are more likely to happen in this interesting country of ours. It’s very uplifting to hear about the people who ransacked the supermarkets to be able to donate goods, the neighbors who sheltered thirty people in their house with a second floor, the people who used their talents, brains and connections to help in any way without any recognition-seeking complex.
It’s so easy to say just move the heck out of your house on top of a hill or beside the freakin’ river, but as I found out, to leave your home even when floodwater is pouring into your freezer feels like the height of betrayal. Heck, I don’t even like the stupid sofa print and I just about cried when I peeked downstairs the following morning to see the Couch-From-Hell floating sadly among his fellow underworld furniture friends. The Filipino people is a resilient people, and like roaches we will come back to our ravaged homes and build once again until somebody in government finally understands the concept of urban planning. =) May all families, who have found that some of their own are now with God, find their peace.
While scrubbing a wall at home, I took a picture of these smilies after the swollen paint bubbles had burst; I couldn’t help thinking that definitely, my wall is Filipino: give it all you got, but you’ll never wipe the smile off our faces. =)
