The Killers in Manila

Saturday, January 30, 2010



See I've shot famous bands already, like Bamboo and Rivermaya =)

I want to watch a lot of concerts this year and one of them is going to happen tomorrow. Yes ladies and gentlemen the KILLERS will be arriving later today. I want to get VIP tickets since I truly adore these guys and watching them a few meters apart would be really a dream for me plus the hope of bringing my camera in so I could shoot them up close. I wish I could capture their moment here in Manila. I wish people could be more forgiving with photographers like me because we are sometimes treated as terrorists when all we want to do is to take pictures. I really pity the people in the UK who are treated as such.

Anyway, enough of CNN. I will have to figure out a way of getting my camera in. Since I have done that in the last UAAP Season I think we can do it again this time. I just wish my camera would not be confiscated if they see me smuggling it inside hahah!

But darn it I really love THE KILLERS and I'll try my best to shoot them by hook or by crook! =)

Office Mishaps


I was making reports last Monday and I was really not in the mood. Imagine a whole month's worth of report needs to be merged into one. I also need to show the relationship of this current data from the previous ones in daily, monthly, yearly and fiscal granularity. I have taken extra Canon Printer Ink Cartridges from the Administration Department because I will be printing out almost a hundred pages and a couple more excel sheets. My boss will be surprised how big the document size is and considering the photos I have stored in the drive I might not be able to squeeze in this one unless I delete old ones immediately. I need major organization to happen too and I probably am able to do that via the date of modification. I wish I had more time.

I sent it but it was getting lots of errors even if I already divided the files by batch. I estimated around 6 huge ZIP files might be able to do the trick but there were header errors when I tried to open the attachments. My boss needed it within the day so I had no choice. I reconfigured connections on a fresh installed pc and it went through after a few tries. I was so elated my files reached him in time. I will prepare better before the next month's report so I won't go through the same ordeal again. Do you know anyone willing to help me with this?! Let me know!

Bounce Tonight!


Since its a weekend, I got my day off and spent it with friends yesterday til the wee hours of the morning. This was the same place we ended up but it was good that shows were quite nice in that place otherwise I would probably gone somewhere else in the fort. I don't know if I could shoot today because I still have a huge backlog of photos to edit but if it is just to party then I would probably do it tonight. I haven't seen the guys since a couple of weeks ago and I think we need to talk about business matters too.

We also have some mishaps with a friend we usually do shoots with. Long story but it just boils down to trust matters so if ever things may not be feasible anymore then we would need to find an alternative. As much as we want to keep em it would not be a good thing to do since we would jeopardize people from the actual group already and that would not be a pretty sight. We would be in the middle of world war III if that happens. Sorry I could not give you that much details because they might be reading my site too and I would not want for them to think I am creating trouble in that situation.

Since I have nothing to do today I will bounce with my photography friends tonight. I need a break and this would be one darn busy evening. I'll stay up late and get them needed break!

The Little Surprise!


It looks like I will be getting my paycheck early. I would really love to start looking for Valentine's Day Gifts now so to avoid the rush next month. I also need to keep this somewhere so it would still be a big surprise. I would not want to spoil that of course! I remember when I last setup a birthday party for her but when we did she found out from other friends about it and just played as if she was surprised on the day itself. She told me a few days after wards and I was not really happy about it. Maybe that big prank I was planning to do the other day would come into play ha-ha! That would really be fun!


I love Trish and I would like to see her feel special on this day. I will be taking her on a spin south of Manila and get overnight accommodations for two in a hotel. We will have breakfast lunch and dinner then I will give her that perfect gift I prepared for her. It is a good thing she does not drop by that often on my site otherwise I am spoiling my own little surprise. I called them this morning so I could also arrange horse back riding lessons for us since it has been ages when I last rode one. I hope everything goes smooth. For my friends who are subscribed to my site through RSS please have the decency to not tell her. You guys know how much this means to me and Trish; so please don’t tell on me got it?!
