Meeting Mishaps

Today I went to a special meeting of minds. I met some of my masters in photography and checked a lot of their work. I have to learn and emulate some of their techniques. I try to at least see if we can get some of our businesses to grow since they probably have more connections than me. If you think about it, I will need another day with them to close some deals. I literally had no time for this hobby but I did my best to attend these big ones since almost everyone in the fashion industry is there. That's the ideal place to meet people. One of my biggest mistakes though is not getting enough business cards. I wish I had 123 print make them for me so I wouldn't be problematic. In times like these you need a lot! The office just makes generic ones that are not related to what I'm actually doing. It'll be funny how they'll find out that a geek would actually be their photographer. They'll probably say "It's a weird day!" and I wouldn't tell them otherwise.

I met the best photographers, fashion icons, designers, stylists and make-up artists. I love how the day ended because I definitely learned a lot. I got a couple of people in my phone book and we're doing bigger projects in the next few months. My regret though is not having that much cards to give out to prospective clients. I learned the hard way. It could have been more money for my business. I will have to rethink my strategy next time. Here's hoping for more transactions with the greatest people in the industry! Let's rock!

I think I have to order Jollibee again. It's like staple here so we can't order in the wee hours of the morning for other restaurants because that is the only one open. Choices? It's either that or Rufo's which only get's us to choose on fried saturated induced food stuff. Healthy choice?! We have no choice!

I'm going to Plaza Mexico for a photowalk with my buddies over at D60KREW. I had a blast the last time we went to Binan, Laguna. This one in particular is a journey in Pasig River. The ferry ride starts at that place but I haven't been there before. I'm preparing as early as now so I won't get lost. Then again I wouldn't know til then.

I'm planning to buy a couple of light stands, a softbox and 2 flashes plus triggers and receivers. It's going to cost me a lot but I think I need it more than ever to move forward with my career in photography hehe. Otherwise, I'll just quit! haha!

It's my first time to wear my new contact lenses. It's kinda on the Hazel - light brown shade. I hope it does look good on my eyes. I'm gunning for the GOODLOOKING Spaniard look and I hope this completes it. Don't make kontra! I'm gonna hit you! (Bangasin ko mukha mo!) Hehehe...

Someone revived the Anti Littering Law again in Congress. Don't they have too many laws to think about other than this?! It has been done so many times already and did we really get cleaned up? Were these laws really implemented? Were there people jailed because of it?! I don't think so! But this morning there were a couple of agents who caught 190 pedestrians loitering around town. It includes drivers who didn't have trash bins inside their jeepneys. They are all going to get fined today and forgotten tomorrow. Welcome to the Philippines where we always practice Ningas Cogon!


See you later! Tataaaa!

Oh Canada!

I miss my friends in Canada. I seldom talk about it because it gives me that feeling of regret not visiting it that much in the past few years. I barely took a break from work and to tell you honestly I really want to go. They often invite me over to stay at their houses and roam around the rest of the provinces and get a little acquainted with the place. This was supposed to be my second home but I never made time for it in the past. Now, I'm planning to take a few days off and get with their program. I want to see the sights and great things this country up north has. Trent Jordan Vancouver convinced me to do it. I have to call them now (friends and family) and see if I can get them to come with me and travel. I hope they file their vacation leave this early. They will probably oblige since I am the persuasive one. I have to study a little more French too so I won't alienate myself on other parts of the country. For that, we'll try to accommodate it with my busy schedules!

I know how picturesque the place is because I still got some of the photos my Aunt's and Uncle sent me when I was a kid. One word that I can use to describe it is nostalgia! I still get excited seeing the vast parks and city scenes along the bay. I'm not much of a landmark photographer but I'll surely try to whip out something good with my kit lens and see if I can stitch together 3 photos for a local magazine I wish to show my work on. I'm sure they'll like it just like my fashion shots from a few months back. Loving the place wouldn't be hard; I might even consider living there soon! Oh Canada!

It looks like some twitter warriors are against @KCMontero. It's because he saw a couple of the UKISS members were kissing each other and shaking their booties when they held their concert here. So they are gay, nothing wrong about that but they shouldn't fool people. If they really are thousands of teens and women would be broken hearted. Illusions, illusions, illusions! Men just don't like watching other men shake em booties too!

The Department of Justice I think has been given a low budget. Since the Supreme Court Cheif Justice and PNOY had a rift, only Congress can give them more money. Goodluck to the ailing rooms of your courts! It's going to rain even inside! Pasig will have bonuses of flood water. Bring your water sports gear!

I'm hearing Christmas carols already. What am I going to buy? I need to reward myself of course! A new lens? A set of lights?! Clothes? Shoes? A car maybe? Oh sh#&.. I forgot... I don't have any money ahhahahaha! No bonuses this year because they halved the 13th month pay. Where am I gonna get money to pay for the gifts I have to buy for the hundreds of kids who think their Godfather is rich nyahahah! Well surprise surprise I'm not! LOL Ninong is cheap!

We didn't win the World Cup of Pool which was held here in the Philippines. China won... now wait, I thought there were no Chinese tourists here?! Why are they here with a crowd?! So who do you think is fooling who when we have people still visiting us from Hong Kong and China?! Blacklist my a$#! Hahaha...

It looks like John Lloyd and Shaina will be in deep trouble this week. Some people saw them doing it raunchy somewhere public. But then again someone's got to come up with photos to prove it. Otherwise, it ain't true at all!!!!

Dating again this weekend. I hope it turns out great like last week. If I don't go out, I'll probably just bury myself in pillows and get some sleep. I'm always sick these days but I always try to self medicate. I need to go and get a checkup just to see what's wrong with me. I hope none of those high blood pressure symptoms turn out to be true. I hate head aches. Pray for my soul. Wherever its headed! LOL

I should visit Salcedo Market this weekend and take my date there. Looks like food is nice and we'll probably get both interested in the sights and things to eat there. Photos will be surely a good thing to post here. I forgot I need to buy Haagen Daaz Ice Cream, I'll do that too. Make her my model and put em here hehehe!


As early as now, happy weekend! Hahahaah! =)
