for the love of cellphone....

"... ang aking buhay.... ikaw ang laging kapiling... hahamakin ang lahat, basta't para sa'yo..."

nakakatawa. nakakainis. puyat. gutom....

when: last night

sis: nasa ospital si ahia.
me: ha? bakit? anong nangyari?
sis: tumalon sa jip, may holdaper sa jip.

so, go na kami sa ospital, tinatahi na raw kung sugat sa upper right head ng kuya ko.... hintay... x-ray raw ang kamay.... hintay.... may nabaling buto, kailangan daw operahin...lalagyan daw muna ng cemento, allergy pa ata sa gamot... skin test... hintay... after nun... pwede na raw umuwi.... buti di na kailangang i-confine. haayy...

so anong nangyari?? ayaw ibigay ng kuya ko cellphone niya, a N6510. kaya ayun, at may i talon siya sa jip, somewhere in pedro gil (malvar st.). nasugatan ang ulo niya na kailangang itahi, nabalian nang buto sa right arm na kailangang iopera. hmmm.... worth it ba siya? NO NO NO. mas malaki pa ata nagastos niya sa paggamot, at di pa siya makapag-work. haayy.... eto nalang.... at least...... naisalba ang cellphone niya. tsk tsk tsk!

nakakalungkot lang... buti yun lang ang nangyari sa kuya ko. nakwentuhan ko ang pulis s ospital... dami na palang cases na ganun. may babae, tumalon din sa jip, di naman dead on arrival pero namatay din after ilang days. may mag-ama, lalaki, di rin nila sinasanto ang marunong mag-karate. may case na ganito, lumaban ang biktima, binaril siya. tsk! tsk! tsk! what a brutal way to die..... better to give up the cellphone kaysa naman makita ang pic mong duguan sa tabloid. eto masasabi ko dyan.... wa-poise!

women against men

reading my emails this afternoon... can't wait to share this piece... everyone needs a nice laugh specially women...

WOMEN'S REVENGE

"Cash, check or charge?" I asked, after folding items the woman wished to purchase. As she fumbled for her wallet I noticed a remote control for a television set in her purse."So, do you always carry your TV remote?" I asked."No," she replied, " but my husband refused to come shopping with me, and I figured this was the most evil thing I could do to him legally.

UNDERSTANDING WOMEN (A MAN'S PERSPECTIVE)

I know I'm not going to understand women. I'll never understand how you can take boiling hot wax, pour it onto your upper thigh, rip the hair out by the root, and still be afraid of a spider.

W O R D S

A husband read an article to his wife about how many words women use a day... 30,000 to a man's 15,000. The wife replied, "The reason has to be because we have to repeat everything to men...The husband then turned to his wife and asked, "What?"

CREATION

A man said to his wife one day, "I don't know how you can be so stupid and so beautiful all at the same time." The wife responded, "Allow me to explain. God made me beautiful so you would be attracted to me; God made me stupid so I would be attracted to you!

The Silent Treatment

A man and his wife were having some problems at home and were giving each other the silent treatment. Suddenly, the man realized that the next day, he would need his wife to wake him at 5:00 AM for an early morning business flight. Not wanting to be the first to break the silence (and LOSE), he wrote on a piece of paper, "Please wake me at 5:00 AM." He left it where he knew she would find it. The next morning, the man woke up, only to discover it was 9:00 AM and he had missed his flight. Furious, he was about to go and see why his wife hadn't wakened him, when he noticed a piece of paper by the bed. The paper said, "It is 5:00 AM. Wake up."Men are not equipped for these kinds of contests.

God may have created man before wOman, but there is always a rough draft before the masterpiece.

kite flying

went to Luneta grandstand yesterday with my younger brother to fly kite. i bought 2 kites last week, trip lang. almost 3 hours kaming ng kite. we arrived around 3pm. di masyado enjoy, wala kasing hangin. i ate green mango, & chicharon while waiting for a perfect time to fly our kites. hanga ako sa determination nang little bro ko, nasa gitna siya ng field flying kite under the sun. gudness! kakain nalang ako. hehe. mga 5pm na ako nakapag-kite.

happy kasi minsan lang pumayag little bro ko sa mga ganyang activities. =)

enough

had a great morning...

hope it'll last the whole day...

suddenly, it didn't turn out right...

? it have to end this way????

papa's birthday!!!

today is my papa's birthday!!! have visited temple yesterday to greet my dad an advance happy birthday. =) i plan to buy cake or ice cream before going home .... =) sad lang.... di ko masyado na-express on how much i appreciate my dad when he is still alive.

i just hope this gets through.... i love you, Dad. Happy Birthday!!

nandyan siya....

God knows how i miss my Dad so much....

... yesterday was something.... last year ko pa hinahanap ang "coupler" (don't know if i get the spelling right) for my Dad's camera na ginagamit ko ngayon. nice camera, i may say, so nice for an hobbyist. lucky me =) nyway, you need this coupler para makabit ang flash. hard to find na ito... finally nakahanap na ako sa quiapo, pina-reserved ko na and i'm willing to buy it last night, have to bring my camera kasi and the flash para ma-test ang coupler.

before last night.....i'm asking for a sign sa Dad ko baka kasi may coupler na ang camera na yun, misplace lang. walang sign... so, i need to buy na.

yesterday, i got home to get the camera and the flash... nakita ko ang box ng flash. walang laman. ok. so nasaan na ang flash? definitely sure, nandyan lang siya ng last time kong makita. baka dinala ni ate sa med mission. hmm... determinado pa rin akong hanapin ang flash. i found the NIKON black pouch... *thinking* hmm... ano kaya ito? i swear, hindi ko nakita yun the last time i check. and guess what? i found a nice NIKON flash and the COUPLER! ayus! ang galing! natulala lang ako. *thinking* paano napunta ito dito?

....first thing comes to my mind... DAD.

thank you, DAD.

remember myself saying way back "sana nandito siya" .... di naman pala siya nawala... nandyan siya.

~ 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."

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.

The following in an excerpt from a children's book, "Captain Underpants And the Perilous Plot of Professor Poopypants" by Dave Pilkey. The evil Professor forces everyone to assume new names......

q = slimy r = loopy s = snotty t = tootie u = dorkey v = squeezit

Use the second letter of your last name to determine the first half of your new last name:

g = lizard h = waffle i = cootie j = monkey k = potty l = liver m = banana
n = rhino o = bubble p = hamster q = toad r = gizzard s = pizza t = gerbil

y = gorilla z = stinker

Use the fourth letter of your last name to determine the second half of your new last name:

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... =)
