Tales From The Darkroom

Blue car

I hate the rain today.
It's like driving slow on a fast lane.

Stash

Food is overrated. Haha.

Round and round we go

Holga, Superia ASA100

I just realized now that all of my cameras don't have names. Hmm...

My holga will be Fabio. :)

More EK photos here.

Thanks again Pam!

I am a hug dealer

I've said it before, I'll say it again.

A hug is more comforting than a kiss.

And it's still is.

It's more meaningful, warm and platonic than beso.

Try it.

It can be addictive though, but who's complaining?

This hug thing should be contagious.

Re-routed

I just got home from a long afternoon shoot today with Pam. We went to Route 196 after to chillax, unwind and to meet up with Chri. Just before we called it a night this guy ruined the goodbyes. He was punching the wall above my head and the empty table behind us and was speaking yelling some stupid words. Good thing his friends were quick and sober enough to pull him out of the bar. Monica (part owner of the bar) wanted to kick his ass. I wanted to hit him with the beer bottle.

OJ Mijares, you are an imbecile.

Seriously.

Do you know this guy?

Let me know. We'd like to meet him when he's sober.

Round 1

I've been slackin' around for quite some time now. Going out with friends. Eating, drinking, hanging out and staying up really really late.

Today, I decided to hit the ring again.

The last time I boxed was late last year. It has been that long and damn those boxing gloves are heavy! Talk about too much slackin'!

After some stretchings, warm ups and my first round, I got dizzy. I looked at myself in the mirror and saw my lips turning pale. Eeek! Not good. I am a disgrace. I had to extend my one-minute-inbetween-rounds-rest to another two minutes. Coach Rey was laughing at me. Pfft.

Usually it's three to four rounds per session, but my body today is still sleeping so I had to stop on my 2nd round. To compensate with the two rounds I missed, I completed the six sets with the bags and some ab excercises.

I enrolled myself for an 8-session boxing for this month. I hope I get to use them all. And maybe after that, I can shoot myself in the nude. Haha. Grabe na 'to!

Turning 11

My niece Janna was just this small when she started shooting. Now she's running and practicing with her dad every week... and she's turning eleven soon.

Ang bilis ng panahon.
