I think there'll be an exhibit for all the participants on July 29 dunno where yet though.

Onli in the Philippines
I've been wanting to shoot street photos for weeks, and yesterday was the best time. We were at Hidalgo for a quick shopping (quick shopping meaning films & batteries). Thanks to Jong for lending his olympus cam, I was able to shoot discreetly from people while they're doing their activities. I miss shooting these kind of stuff.

Pick a card
Ram asked me if I can make him a design for his calling card. I ended up shooting his fave charm.
So which do you think is better? Comments, suggestions?
My preciouuuus...
Do I need to say more? :)
I was in a cleaning mood today. After months of moving in, I finally get to clean and fix my vault. These are my seldomly used cameras. It's very few compared to the other camera freaks I know :p. I would cry hard if I get to lose any of these. This vault will be my friend, my bestfriend. ;) I'm not sure if the silica gel's enough to keep the lens from having fungus though.
I got to purge my closet as well. I get to fit some old clothes... I now realize how baduy I was! hahaha... Must... get rid of 'em... fast!

I watched Madagascar for the third time tonight. First was with my guy friends. Second was with my girl friends. And third, and I hope the last, was with my pamangkins. I can't believe they still haven't seen the movie, to think it's been showing for 2 weeks now. Hmmm... their parents too busy eh? Yeah right!
~~~~
Oh yeah, btw, I got out of the pit hole from my first (minor) car accident and my first lawsuit (I hope it's the last).
I'm in a better mood now. God listens. :)
Have a good long weekend everyone.

Eelo eelo
You know how we all get excited with new places and meeting new people right?!
The first time I went to Iloilo was last January. It was for a wedding shoot and it was terrible. I mean, not with the couple, but with our harassed schedules. Para lang akong nagising sa Iloilo, tapos natulog ulit, pag mulat nasa Manila na. All I saw was the airport, the church, and the hotel.
Same thing happened yesterday, but this time I was more like dilat most of the time. I wasn't able to sleep well after the shoot. A good reminder to sleep ahead of the guys, or else suffer from the sound of the snores! After breakfast, I tried to sleep again, only to realize that our floor was being renovated. Ah yes, loving the sound of the drills and hammers! Aaaargh!
Jong's staying there for 3 more days with his family. I decided to go home. So I said to myself "ok, I'll probably sleep in the plane"... but NO! Rene (video guy) and I had a terrible plane ride going back home. It was my first time to actually feel queasy in a plane. The weather wasn't good (I heard there's a 17 typhoon coming, how true?!) and we were seated right next to the jet engine! Even my iPod couldn't compete with the sound. :(
Looking at this makes me want to go back and explore the city. I am so loving Ilonggos. They're all kind... or atleast they sound malambing. hehe
Bao gida ya! :)

Bumps
Funny how things are with me right now. It seems that everything's well planned, one after another. Just when I was about to breathe from a situation, another one comes in a rush.
Some stuff I cannot discuss publicly but would love to rant about it. God knows if your clan's reading this. May His light shine upon your family.
Pathetic as it all seems, I believe there's a lesson to be learned here.
