She Needs Prayers

I just watched SNN this evening and Kris Aquino just mentioned something about the former President Corazon Aquino. She seems to be not recovering that fast with her chemo sessions. She was just recently rushed to the hospital because of her loss of appetite. This has been the second day masses and novenas were done for her speedy recovery. All her friends and family pitched in.

There is nothing more memorable than her in the People Power revolt in 1986. It was one thing that she contributed, the democracy in the Philippines. Although, the economy suffered much in her time because of the other people who took advantage of her, she is still an icon here and elsewhere in the globe. It would be really sad to see her suffer amidst the death of other famous people like Michael Jackson and Farah Fawcette.

Among those that attended the mass were former President Estrada along with Dr. Loi Ejercito, Jackie Ejercito-Lopez and Senador Jinggoy Estrada. Deedee Sytangco, her spokesperson said Mrs. Aquino is in a 'stable' and 'conscious' condition while she refuses to undergo needed chemotherapy.

She was transferred from the ICU of Makati Medical Center, to her residence in Quezon City. Malacanang has also formally asked the public prayers for Mrs. Aquino. Kristie Kenney also prays for her speedy recovery. She said wonderful things about her and know how big role she played in forming the Philippine democracy.

More Photoshoots, More Trouble... nothin we can't handle!

Well, according to the EB masters on the photo shoot this weekend; we are having problems about permits on the building rooftop we plan to go to. Not just that, we do not have a backup plan yet for this shoot. We may have a photo walk but it would still depend on the location every body agrees upon. Hmmm... this is the first time we are having problems with our shoot... well almost. We had some minor problems on the last one because the models suddenly have their own problems and the schedules did not really fit in.

Ahhh.. I guess there's always a first time. Soon there will be more and I hope we weather things because all we wanted to do was a decent photo shoot each week. With all the things they need just to make it happen, it is goin a little harder. Sheesh! I hope this would not be a weekly occurrence.

I'm also excited about tomorrow because I'm going back to Pampanga...land of the Ex's hahaha...It's okay I know, if ever we do meet there we would be just reminiscing I guess. Yeah, its really awkward but its okay. I know it will be, and I'm going to have to shoot a lot of landscapes I guess. No one is going to stop me! Hahaha....

Bugs Give Me the Creeps!

I am a guy, but I do not like bugs. Yeah, those creepy and crawling things that most of us brush off everyday just send shivers down my spine and get me to think about pouring kerosene at our house and set it on fire. No, I am not an arsonist but I do not have the normal patience that most people have when it comes to pests. You can quote me on that figuratively and metaphorically.

At home, we have ants in the bathroom. I do not want to see them marching up and down our walls at any time of the day. They would only be prevented by turning the shower on while we take time putting it on full blast so these hard biting red ones do not see the light of day on your skin. That would really be a pain having them cause bumps and red itchy patches on your body; and most of them come out where you least expect it.

There are some bugs in my folk's room that I do not even know what they are called. The only ones you would see in the morning are huge rashes and bites because apparently they are all blood suckers too. I do not even want to go into details, but something has got to be done in order to stop this menace!

We do not have Chicago Pest Control in our country. This should have been the time where we would need professionals to do the job. I saw in their web site the possible solutions to these everyday problems about bugs and insects; also the uninvited guests. If you need to find the right people for this job, remember to give them a call if you are in the US. There's just no comparison to the services they can do to get rid of the real threat that is inside our homes. Now is the time, now is the hour to keep your family safe.

Bugs or the Ex? Why am I thinking twice?!

I'm contemplating on going on this trip on Friday... don't ask why... my EX of course! Well, let's just say I don't want to see her because of a lot of other reasons. Not just that, but it would be awkward seeing her folks and friends too. I'm not in the mood to be mushy, nor am I in the right state of mind to think about her at these times when I'm going there just for photographs and nothing else. Ahhh! Someone is really playing with my mind... I have to think twice I guess...

This particular trip also will be a testing ground for my skills in MACRO photography. This will consist of flowers, fauna and insects of all sorts so be kind to me when you are going to comment about my work come next week... I mean be a little easy on me because this is just part of the first ones I'm trying out. If it works out I'm going to consider buying a MACRO lens. I don't like bugs don't get me wrong, but I just need them for their colors. I'm sure they are gonna turn out great!

See one of my shots from our last shoot in Wildlife at Quezon City.. the colors are great!
