The Stories Are Real

I do not watch horror movies that much for fear of having them in my dreams the night after. I had a few nightmares already and I feel that this is just not healthy. Though I really like the way my friends shriek inside the cinemas, I laugh at them every now and then. There was this one time I felt the story was so real on TV I spilled food and soda all over the living room; little did I know it was the truTV effect. It is completely mind blowing how it can cause physical and emotional effects to anyone who sees it. Because it is real, you are going to be affected... you might end up taking more than half of the actual experience the people inside the video are feeling.

I just took a short break from work this afternoon but I ended up glued to the Halloween Heist episode done by the Masterminds. I forgot to even buy a cup of coffee that time because I was already shaking of nervousness from that episode. Call me weird; call me a sissy but I'm sure if you take a couple of minutes watching these shows they have available, you will end up on the same psychiatric ward that I am enjoying. Ha-ha just joking!

Take a break from your hectic schedule today and make it a habit to watch that truTV video we love. Ask your friends to join in too so they would remind you how you initially had fun reacting to shows from the one and only TRUTV.

My First Street Photos

When I got out of the office this morning, I felt I had to take some shots on the street. Yes, I have not tackled street photography yet like I mentioned in my previous post. I was looking for a subject that could literally break my heart, because I was almost at home when I passed by these three kids sleeping in the corner streets of Cubao (a commercial location in Quezon City).

I see why there is drama in street photography, I've seen some shots taken by my peers of other spots in the metro that had poverty in context. This one however was right in front of me earlier this morning. I was overwhelmed by the chance and a little nervous that I might wake them up. I wouldn't wanna do that to these kids. I hope their parents know what they are doing. They probably are forcing these kids to either beg or sell things on the highway. I hope they remain safe. This is just sad.

I Love PANINI! Come join this contest now!

Lean Cuisine Grilled Vegetables & Goat Cheese, and Mango Chicken TIKKA! Scrumptious Bistro Meatballs & Peppers, and Chicken SOUVLAKI!

It's that great tasting slab of chicken, veggies and cheese that I absolutely love gobbling up this weekend when we had a meeting with my boss at a very nice local hotel. It was posh and did cost quite a hefty amount if you think about it. But since the quality of the Italian bread was at par with the world's best, I figured it was worth it. Not because we were not going to pay for it but at the end of the meal, we had some left to take home. The serving was huge so we had to at least take care of it later on. I wish there was a way we could get that same gourmet sandwich at a fraction of its cost. Now that I mentioned it, I remember one thing that personified the best thing since sliced bread. It was that mouth watering Stouffers-panini that we love.

My First Photowalk Alone =/

Today, I'm not going to work out because I found out this morning I could not lift any more weights because my body can only do much. Everywhere else in my body spelled body ache and pains. The need to rest probably surfaced just this morning when I took a chance in lifting 70-80lbs of dumbbells as a part of my routine. It hurt so bad that I had to re evaluate if I can really lift em easily as I had before.

Aside from that, I brought along "Trish" (My Camera) so I can take pictures of the street later after I log out. I admittedly am not was good in street photography; so I am taking chances when I go to the streets of Cubao later.

I know I have to shoot mostly in black and white. Either that or on a heavily contrasted colored tone. I saw some shots that were mixed with sepia and black and white so I might give that thing a try. Then probably I can do color isolation like I did the other day with the model shoot. I don't know what to tell people though when I suddenly take photos of them. I wish it was easy darn it! LOL... I need all the luck in the world so make sure you get me into your prayers too! Thanks!
