In Heat...

It looks like this is one heck of a workday for all o us here. Something should be done because this side of the world is uninhabitable already. I don't want to sit here and watch myself perspire. I don't like this joint. It looks like a mental asylum if I can quote my boss on that when he went on a visit here. They were all initially getting us prepare for a transfer to the other building but that has long been overdue. Now this happens, ha!

I hope someone out there listens when our underarms plead for antiperspirants LOL. This is really not a great way to start the work week. If only I had hotdogs and bread available we'd be happy to get some and roast them since it feels like a camp fire here. It's even colder outside for cryin out loud!

I already have my Orange Juice here. Where did I put that small umbrella and hammock?!... It feels like a beach here haha!

Maybe Get Blinds?!

There are several reasons why I don't invite guests over to my house. None may have noticed it but I never throw parties or events in it since time in memorial. Well maybe once but it never happened again because I severely didn't like the way our house looked like. It's funny because my Mom and Dad always had friends over way back and didn't even bother. I guess I am the meticulous one because I always look into details. My room is not an exception because I don't have decent window treatments. I never had time to redecorate or have any touch of interior design since I work graveyards and sleep in the morning. I always tell myself to get venetian blinds so I could at least get the sunshine filtered when I sleep. My eyes hurt obviously when I get hit by rays and I never really did anything to solve it. I want to get some sleep and I always hoped and pray that this isn't one of those times when I need to muster enough strength to shut my eyes. It's really not a choice anyway. Go figure!


I'll ask around or maybe look on sites that have them. I wouldn't want to spend a fortune and I'm really going to have to look around. If I can save a few dollars and get the best ones out there; that will be really good for me!

What does your room look like?! What are your favorite pieces?! Total price range for everything?! Let me know okay?!

Arrived from the office and have a horrible stomach ache. It must be the Mogu Mogu or Orange Juice that's makin me acidic. It's a terrible way to start the day.

I had a blast this weekend. I went out with the D60Krew and rode the Pasig River Ferry. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It was nice and measuring from the 200 shots I got from it spelled a lot of subjects. It's a breather from those long walks we had but I'm currently burnt right now. Or shall I say Crispy?! LOL

I went out with friends to Malate. Its been a long time since I went there. The place has indeed changed. Lots of other establishments popping up offering the same old service. I miss the old days... but that doesn't mean I'm old okay?! Clear?!

I got my Eheads collectible now. Paid a hefty sum for it but its darn well worth it! I am the envy of my friends now hahaha!

I see some Christmas decors being put up as early as now. Weird but this is the Philippines after all. If there was somewhere that earlier celebrated Christmas it would probably be Bethlehem hahaha.

There are several dead in a bus again in India. They were shot point blank. Now where are those commentators who thought it was just an isolated incident, aren't they going to see this as an international situation?! See what I mean?!

Today, I'm happy but a little bit wee sad. I don't know why but I think it is related to my past rants. I bet it'll be over once I get some sleep. No headache yet and I think I'm good.

I didn't go to gym today, I need lots of sleep and probably go there tomorrow. I'm trying to run at constant pace for at least 5 kilometers because I plan to run a marathon haha! I know I'm laughing with you. =P

ERASERHEADS The Heads Set

If you followed what I have been writing since time in memorial, you probably know how dead serious I am being fanatic with my idols the ERASERHEADS. I don't understand myself sometimes too but you know that feeling of nostalgia when you see someone you idolize?! Mine's like a hundred times magnified than that. What I like about this experience is that I get to reminisce all the music I love in my genre. It represented who I am culturally. Deep huh?! Haha! I know... its kinda weird but it is what it is.

I did go out with a bang in the 90's. I was with a band, it was called Infinite Pulcer. Pulcer is latin for things that are beautiful, beauteous, fair or handsome. So now you know where we fall LOL. We did a few gigs. That's the cool way to say it. I composed some songs, my friends did too. I sang backup on some of em heheh. Our sound was more of a pop rock thingy. You can differentiate our sound from other noisy ones at that time. We were mostly goodlooking guys LOL this is my site after all so live with it! Hahahaha!

So here you go, I need to do this so my friends would envy me haha! It did cost a lot but its well worth it. I'm going to get is signed too once they go back to Eastwood for a gig. Enjoy!

Nice set huh?! =) It made me smile the whole day!

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! =)

The Perfect Pair

I'm trying to find the perfect pair of sunglasses for me. To tell you honestly, my head is HUGE. It's funny but I can't find one that would fit and look good on me. If I go for comfort it would look geeky on me. If I go for fashion it would look too odd on me and would as if it is squeezing my head. I can't sacrifice one or the other. I know there are some Designer Sunglasses that would fit me perfectly. I would pay gladly for them just as long as it satisfies my needs in both looks and form. I'll try to look for some of them on line maybe I'll get lucky.

In a tropical climate such as ours it is a staple so we wouldn't be bothered by direct sunlight. I hate going out without one because I literally feel it hitting my eyes and it does hurt quite a lot. I don't want to see things get worse with that plus the heat stroke which has affected a couple of people already. I want to really get one soon so if in case I am going to bare it all under the sun I won't suffer the same fate. I don't want to get fried, blinded and faint just anywhere. I need one now so bad!

Who's going to buy me one?! Raise your hand!

Converse Sale

My friends and I will be going to the Marikina factory of Converse today because we heard it will be sale upto 70 percent off on all their shoes. I am gunning for a couple of pairs and am going to try and find those which would never be normally worn by anyone there. I'm thinking more of those plastic looking ones than the ordinary chucks. I will still buy some but probably one white and one designed one. My feet is obviously huge and I need to get one that properly fits. I want a new one since my old one got torn on the sides. I don't even know if I should get that fixed also. I think I just buried it with another pile of shoes at home.

I'm planning to give away some of them because they don't fit anymore. I hope it fits the feet of those whom I'm giving it to. Converse also has some of those rubber shoes looking ones that I don't actually like because they are mostly hiphop-dancer lines which I'm NOT! Obviously this particular basketball shoes in the 70's are turning out to be fashion items now. Some say it is not for fashion but hey if it looks cool and feels good on the feet I'm all for it!

Are you going to buy a pair too?! (^_^)?!
This will be a very good day for deals like these!
