I'm so excited to go to World Trade Center later this afternoon.... Heard Juday will put up her booth with goodies from China. haha! I'm not a Juday fun. =) Never been to a Christmas bazaar before *frown* so I'm looking forward to this one. c",)

busy busy busy...

what the heck! almost 1 month na akong hindi nagu-update ng blog!!!!???!!! sobrang busy ata this month. grrrr!!! i'm thinking kung ano mga pinagkakaabalahan ko for not updating my blog... let's see...

...last november 13, i got up at 7:30am to go to bahay nakpil for an outdoor shoot. 8am kasi ang call time. sobrang excited ako, even prepared the night before the shoot, what i have to bring the next day. haha! bad luck siguro.... paano ba naman, di kumagat yung film ko, kinakalikot ko kasi ang camera ko the night before. tsk tsk tsk! kainis! ang aga aga ko pa namang nagising for the shoot, ang init init pa sa intramuros, todo pa-pose pa ako sa mga models. tapos nada! as in WALA! kala ko pa naman may maipo-post na ako sa blog ko. wahaha!

.... november 19, got my tooth extracted by my dear sister. =) thanks achins! i won't tell you how my sis pull the tooth off. bloody kasi! di naman siya masakit, saglit lang ang operation. di pa ako masyado makapagsalita ng mabuti. bawal magpagod kaya di me nakapag-shoot the next day. huhu! =(

namimiss ko na mag-shoot. hopefully this weekend kaso medyo maga pa right cheek ko. i'm crossing my fingers for a fun fun long weekend. wohoo!

When you're feeling stressed and about to break down...

Just remember:

STRESSED is just DESSERTS spelled backwards. It's a peice of cake!

~ Andro & Sharon Mae Pre-Nuptial ~

As promised, here are SOME pics I shoot last Sunday for Sharon & Andro. I think the black & white pic looks more interesting. Classic.

Sharon & Andro: Thank You so much for your time. Alam kong busy kayo preparing for your wedding day, but you still find time to grace this shoot. Salamat talaga. I really enjoyed taking your pictures. I hope you did too. Sa wedding day uli ha. Wish you all the best! c",)

Enjoy viewing! ;)

Into Deep

Check this photo... one of my favorite. Kaso ang dami kong narinig n comment like... di maganda ang model, di bagay sa model ang pose, bat ganun ang suot niya?, wala siyang makeup.... and so on. Depende talga s tumitingin.... I love this photo kasi gusto ko yung framing, mood, and lighting. What do you think? Need your comments.... c",)

Pre-nuptial shoot

Yesterday was a busy day for me. i went to bahay nakpil, where I study photography. We had a couple who was married last Saturday, the bride and the groom wore their wedding dress and barong as they happily posed for us kahit na puyat sila the other night. I thought the shoot will be postponed coz the couple arrived around 11am. ; 9-12am lang ang class namin. Will posts my shots some other time because i used a digital cam of my prof. probably, next next week ko pa makukuha. Something to look forward to. hehe =)

Went home around 1pm to have my lunch.... rest.... at 3pm, went to Mla Cathedral to meet my college friend, Sharon and her soon to be groom, Andro, to take their pre-nuptial shots. =) I'm so excited to take their pictures. Hopeful... sana maging at ease ang groom... first time ko kasi siya mame-meet. Came all the way from States to marry my friend this coming Sunday! wohoo! Saan sila nag-meet???! sa isang chatroom. yep! long distance relationships... Destiny. Destiny. Destiny. Oh well.... when will I meet my Prince Charming.... haha! dream on, Sheryl! Anywayz, i didn't had a hard time taking their pictures. So natural... Kinikilig ako sa kanila. Sobrang sweet. Napa-contact print ko na ang shots ko.... Will posts them soon.... papa-scan ko pa kasi. Film-based, ala pang budget to buy a digicam. =( Excited na sila to see their pics. Sana maabutan ko ang photo shop mamaya. Have to attend a despidida party of my officemate....

Till next posts.... ;)

"If it wasn't painfully difficult, you did it wrong."

i gained 8 pounds!

yep yep! that's right! i gained 8 pounds. from 90lbs to 98lbs for 2 months. that's what the weighing scale says, sana lang di siya sira. =) pero bat ganun... parang di ko maramdaman n tumaba ako??! di sumikip ang pants ko at damit. san napunta ang 8lbs?!!!! hmmm.... ??????

make me smile =)

here's a conversation i encounter last last week that i promised to blog...

street child: ate, pahingi po ng pagkain.
stout looking tindera: (looking at the boy's hair) wala. buti k nga nakakapagpa-parlor pa. wala nga akong time magpa-parlor. blonde pa buhok mo tapos hihingi k ng pagkain dito.

i was like looking at them and laughing kasi nga naman brownish ang buhok ng bata at yung tindera ay kailangan ng magsuklay. wahaha!

la lang, kababawan. sobra talga akong naaliw. =)

The Mexican

I have to ask you a question. It's a good one so think about it. If two people love each other, but they just can't seem to get it together, when do you get to that point of enough is enough? ....Never.

n = rhino o = bubble p = hamster q = toad r = gizzard s = pizza t = gerbil

taking little angel pictures takes a lot of patience as in lots of patience. luckily, my prof lend me his digicam if not, lugi k sa film. most of my shots are out of focus like the first one, nakapikit, at blurred (ang likot kasi; leaving me thinking "san ba nila nakukuha energy nila?). pagkatapos ng session, lahat kami tulala sa sobrang pagod, my prof was like giving a lecture pa and i can't understand a thing on what he was discussing. anyways, take a glimpse of my shots... =)

Disappointed... =(

oh well.... can't post my new batch of shots. di kami nabigyan ng copy last sunday. excited p naman ako.... =( ok lang. next week daw kami mabibigyan. last sunday, mga bata ang aming subject! gudness! ang hirap nilang kunan. ayaw tumingin sa camera, ayaw gawin ang pose n pinapagawa namin, ayaw ngumiti..... sobrang pagod after the session. lahat kami, napaupo at tulala. hehe. buti nlang digital gamit namin kundi lugi sa film. marami nga akong kuha n nakapikit at kung saan saan nakatingin. kailangan namin kausapin ng kausapin ang mga bata para makuha ang attention. nakakatawa naman ang experience.... i remember myself making sounds of lion, dog, and cat to make the children smile. hmmm.... nag-smile naman sila once kaso mukhang mas natakot sila.... *wooff*

Fashion Shots!

Here's another batch of image i took last August 28, 2005. mostly models ang kinukunan namin.... sana magkaroon uli ng outdoor shoot kasi puro portraiture at fashion shots ang gingawa namin... pero ok nrin para ma-perfect namin ang framing namin. mas nagugustuhan ko shots ko ngayon. improving!!! sana.... =)

what makes a good shot??? hmmm.... siguro, nice subject, 'yung natural ang dating na makaka-relate ang tumitingin sa subject like kung ano ang mood niya, happy nga ba siya.... or just making a pose. syempre, ang feeling ng photographer makikita rin kahit behind the camera... like how he focus his subject, masyado bang tight... hmmm.... tama ba? nyway, just sharing some thoughts.... =)

Photogenic!

i love this model! she's so photogenic! ang galing mag-project sa camera. she has nice eyes and smile! how's my shot? kulang pa ata sa practice... post ako uli ng ibang shots ko.... it's really nice to share your shots here kahit lam mong di pa gaanong maganda.... haha! humble lang.... joke!

Photography uli!

di ko pa nakwento... nagpictorial session kami ng special friend ko last saturday. inubos ko 1 roll of film sa knya as his punishment nung minsan kasi ayaw magpakuha. eh nagtampo friend niyo kaya sabi niya magpapakuha siya ng 36 shots. hehe. weird diba? nyway, ok naman ang kinalabasan ng shots, malinaw siya, outdoor kasi di mahirap magtimpla ng kulay at ilaw. enjoy nga eh. haha! sana maulit uli.... =)

It's September!!!

it's the first day of September.... BER na! exciting kasi malapit na Christmas. haha! kanina nga may kumanta ng Christmas song para sa opening number nila sa TV (won't mention the program-corny kasi. haha!) nyway, iba na feeling pag-gabi kasi lamig na---Christmas is here na talga. sana maging memorable ang Christmas natin this year. M still thinking of my Christmas wish. ano kayang magandang wish? --pang ms universe nalang na sagot... "WORLD PEACE!" =)

s m i l e ;-)

Try to smile as much as possible today, whether you feel like it or not. If it really isn't feeling natural to put on a happy face, you may just want to stick to yourself at home. No one is going to want to see you frown on such a lively, uplifting day like today. Don't be the downer in the crowd. Let your moods swing to the happy side of the pendulum.

Chicken bar-be-que ;-)

after contemplating of eating chicken bbq at aristocrat last week.... I finally got to eat there with my officemates. hehe. Was i ever happy! ang babaw noh! anyway, just want to share my "gaga over aristocrat's chicken bbq."

sad..

sad lang.... ang kulit kasi niya eh. di ko alam kung ano na paniniwala ko. magso-sorry tapos uulitin uli.... =( ganyan ba talga mga guys?! bat di nalang maging sincere?!

it's friday!!!

it's friday! may turo ako sa sta cruz every friday sa mga street children. di ako nakapagpa-photocopy ng module nila. hmmm.... magpapasulat ako ng name nila tapos magbabasa kami mamaya. sana maging maganda turo at may matutunan sila mamaya sa akin. nakakafrustate kasi minsan pag feel mo paguwi nila, wala silang nakuhang learnings from you.....

Love delights in giving attention rather than in attracting it.
Love is flame that warms but never burns.
Love sees the other person’s point of view even when he cannot embrace it.
Love knows how to disagree without becoming disagreeable.
Love rejoices at the success of other instead of being envious.
Love puts up with peoples whims and peculiarities without being self-righteous about it.
Love avoid causing unnecessary pain.
It does not scorn, ridicule, belittle or squelch.
Instead, it tactfully inspires faith, hope and charity in those who make mistakes.
Love is willing to lose in order to win.
