Back Then...

Life was so simple back then. My phone was the culprit why I got into photography. All the subjects were just my friends, landscapes and seascapes. I did not have formal training but I saw something significantly great about the shots I made even on a low end phone. Now I can't even sleep anymore thinking about purchasing an IPHONE when my salary comes. Although I still have to think about the repercussions of that like paying for a monthly fee since it is tied up with a local phone provider. Oh why do these things get old, why don't I just get satisfied with what I have now and stick with it until it comes unusable. I had this phone fixed thrice already because of the usual ribbon folding up when opening and closing the unit. It stuck until the display had gone kaput on me. Then I had to pay another 6 or 700 bucks just to get that ribbon replaced again.

I don't want to complain but I know I have to replace this sooner or later. I always go to clubs thinking that my phone looked funny when I take it out. Everyone else had a better looking touch screen phone. But I'll probably die if it got lost or stolen. Why do we have to spend thousands of pesos for this, can't this be much cheaper so I won't have to think about dishing out money? LOL I love the cheapo me! LOL

On Weddings!

You probably know that I have been doing wedding photography these past few moths and I must admit I do really like it. Capturing moments is the key to a perfect shot and I have gotten quite a number of them already. Making the client happy is tantamount to the success of your shoot because no matter how you think that your shots are good, it is their word that will be the final say. Making preparations for the church, the program, the entourage and giving out wedding invitations starts how everything will fall into place. From shooting the suit, the dress and rings it sort of shows how a theme for the set will look like. Thinking how you will present the package is how the game starts.

Let me show you some of the shots I made for a client. These are some of the set we did for wedding portraits. I really like the ambiance in the ORCHIDARIUM we shot this in. I thought of playing with strobes and lights on this set because it has that mysterious impact. I like the swirls of light I put in after post processing because obviously it made the image more magical. I can even attest that these are good for magazines if the time comes. That would definitely be a big break if someone can arrange this for me. Does this work?!

Let me know what you think!

The Good and the Bad

A good man Press Secretary Cerge Remonde this morning was all over broadcast TV because he had a heart attack. He is the spokesperson of sorts of current President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo but he never threw ill fated words to the opposition no matter how harsh they were. Unfortunately around 11:15 AM another news update indicated he already passed away. At the midst of all the political bruhahah in the Philippines, everyone still had remorse over his passing. It looks like there is still hope for Pinoys. I mean I am a good guy too but there are some who do not know what is right and wrong for this country. I hope everyone becomes educated enough to choose the best President come May of this year. Sometimes we can't do anything about it but just HOPE.




The bad, Jason Ivler who everyone thought was outside of the country after killing a guy over a traffic altercation in EDSA was raided 2 days ago in their house in Quezon City. I know he, his Mom and Dad go to the same gym I go to every morning and they are quite distinct because of how they look like. Let's just say they are quite eclectic. Jason is clad with tattoos all over his body, his mom is so tan and usually wears bohemian skirts to gym and his dad looks like Einstein. So you get the picture? Everyone is eagerly waiting what will happen to him since he is still in the ICU but handcuffed to his own bed. I know since he shot an NBI agent probably the whole NBI forces are there guarding the doors. His Mom on the other hand just got out of jail because she was charged with obstruction of justice. She kept Jason in the basement the whole time they were looking for him. Imagine that!

Bless Cerge Remondes' soul and I hope Jason gets whatever is meant for him. I have a few friends who has this big crush on him btw, now that is weird!

The Things You Need to Save Water

Here is a shot I took in the LAMESA watershed.

I am really sad that the government has gone into the extent of warning people from the metro about saving potable water in the coming summer. Since it would be doubly hot and we would not be able to get rain from any source other than the storms which seldom happens at that time of the year; we would need to do whatever it takes to be able to survive that weather. I am keen on getting swppp services because of the things that they boast of. They have veterans in the Civil Engineering sector which is close to my heart since my own Grandfather worked for the Engineering Brigade for USAFE in World War II. They will help getting more water back to the reservoir since we really need it.

Seeing these men in action brings back memories; they come crashing onto you too when you least expect it. I maybe a Computer Engineer by profession but I also use software they heavily implement in their firm like Civil 3D and Photo shop which makes designing and getting the structure of the house, a cinch! World renowned industry experts and business managers would make you feel that your project is not a chore when you get to build yourself your own dream home. They can even prevent getting that crummy little dirt around storm drains come rainy season in June. If you get plans as big as this, you really need all the help you can get!
