That was a wonderful video, Fitz!

What software did you use to superimpose the static text over the moving/panning photo?

Thanks!

[...] 7. Be an entrepreneur and start a business This is the path that I’ve chosen. My reason for taking this road is simple - passive income. By building a successful self-sustaining business, I’ve come to enjoy more time freedom to do the things I want. Moreover, I believe that entrepreneurship gives the most value to my life because I know I’m helping others by creating jobs and providing opportunities. If you think that you have the focus, determination and discipline to succeed in this path, then don’t hesitate and take the risk. [...]

Interesting post Fitz! I haven’t tried this one yet. I’ve seen several people doing this in Boracay and Puerto Galera and last week i’ve found out that one resort in Batangas is doing this as their main attraction.

I’ve changed your link and stumbled too!

@Dexter
Why don’t you try it? I think you already have an advantage because you’re DEXTERous. Buy a pair of knee high socks, put two tennis balls inside and you can practice spinning with your homemade sock poi.

@pusa
I’m not really good at teaching poi but I can try. I’ll show you how to do a few tricks if ever we meet. If you’re really interested, you can start by searching the internet for free poi lesson videos.

@chuvaness
Thanks for visiting. I’ve tried bungee jumping in Subic. It was fun but it’s not something that I will get addicted to unlike spinning poi. And yes, you can speak Tagalog, okay lang po.

Hey, thanks for the visit. Yes, that’s really me in the pictures. Those were taken a little over a year ago.

Anyway, what you said reminded me of a quote by Bill Cosby, “I don’t know about success, but the secret to failure is pleasing everybody.”

Lastly, I haven’t considered that taking a risk can likewise burn one’s ego. That was very insightful. And indeed, time will heal.

Fitz is that really you on the vid? Ever since I was a kid I’m already fascinated with fire, how they dance around, how they flicker. It’s always a mystery to behold the energy of a fire.

You know fitz before I was afraid of taking risks, but now, even if I gained enemies with my risk taking, I really don’t care because it’s all part of the risk. You win some, you lose some. Meron nga isa nagsabi sa akin in the past, I think 10 years ago, If I will stay on my comfort zone and continue to please everybody even at the expense of my own growth, the people’s perception of me and what they are thinking, I will not mature as a person.

Your first burn is also like the hurt one feels whenever the risk burns your ego. I get that a lot. Pero ika nga, time will heal. Tama si reyna, its so rewarding when you take risks.
