I'm having a few laughs looking at the photos I shot when I began photography. I didn't care about the quality of photo I posted. If I shot it, I'll still try to make it work... that's just a nono now. I love the concepts but the shots are just horrible haha!

I don't want to show them. Maybe some but not all of them.

I just went to my Aunt's funeral. A lot of my relatives were there. I didn't know some of them because we are a pretty large family. I really am sad about what happened. Cousins will be here on Friday. I hope they are okay. I hate funerals, I hate seeing people die.

I didn't know about K12. It's the term they use for kindergarten to grade 12. Apparently it is going to be the standard of education in the 2012 school year. From kindergarten, there will be grade 1-6 for elementary, grade 7-10 for junior high and 11-12 for senior high. It's pretty much going to be the same as with other countries. We're the only one left in Asia that is still implementing the old one. How late is that?! O_O

I don't have good news today. I just slept the whole afternoon. I didn't get online at all. I had a headache this morning but it went away. Maybe that's a thing to thank the one above for. I still hate priests and bishops... I almost want to hit one particular person because of that. I hope this is not a permanent one. I'm a good Christian but if I see some unscrupulous people use the pulpit for their own interest, I'll walk out of the church too. Wait.... something tells me I haven't been going to church hehe. =)

OK Game!

One of my photography groups is in shambles now. I know some of the facts and it ain't really good hearing the stories. I wanted to be impartial because I know most of them. We are pretty close. It's just so sad to see this happening to a very promising bunch of people. I don't blame them but it would have been nicer to inform everyone first before doing this. Now that people felt betrayed everything's just become complicated. They need to get all the things that was owned by the group to be still in the group. Where is this thing called "Word of honor"? Apparently it might have been swept away by floods brought about the afternoon monsoon rains haha!

I'm playing Sonic Rivals in my PSP. I got a few new games downloaded over the weekend. I think I should often do that so I always get interested in my gadgets. Unfortunately I couldn't do the same with my Playstation 2. It's just gathering dust now in a box somewhere. I want to have that converted so I can play more titles. I'm looking for more but this one is keeping me busy like Mario Kart. I love this! Do you have any suggestions?

My Aunt died this morning. She will be in Paz. I have to wake up early so I can go there and help them out. After that I'll go to work. This is a pretty busy day indeed! My sincere condolences to my cousins in Canada and the US, now you have to go back to the Philippines. This is really sad news but what can we do, its life!

See you guys later! I'll be blogging from work! (image from IGN no copyright infringement intended)

Moving South: Peace and Quiet

I'm going to have a short trip to the south so I could get my things to our house there. I've been going there every weekend and it has cost me a lot. If you think about it, I'm probably going to have problems moving big furniture because it wouldn't fit the back of the van. It makes me wish some houston moving company would come and help me. It would have been faster and a lot better. I know how hard it is going to get when that time comes. I haven't even finished decorating it yet because I don't have the swing I plan to put on the porch. I'm still trying to get the table and country style pieces from a couple of stores. This is going to be great!

Having the best things in life was one of the reasons I started writing. With this in the works I'm sure I'll have my own sweet refuge where no one would be able to find me. It's pretty far from Manila but that is one of the charming things about it... its remoteness from the city. It's pretty hard to travel but the benefits of peace and quiet seem to have outweighed it. I want to see my family to enjoy that too in the near future. After all, it was bought for them.

That just made me think a lot... sometimes I enjoy the noise of the city and also the quiet countryside. How about you?!

It's my Dad's birthday today! I arrived pretty late but we still went out for dinner. I was not tipsy from drinking beer again that morning. Yeah after two months of not drinking here I go again. Anyway, we had a lot of japanese food and yoghurt. What's important is that we still spent time together. It was really nice to do that!


The CBCP is really not the ones who should tell people what to do with their lives. Stick to religion. Stop meddling with politics. Stay on your churches and don't ever dictate what people should do and threaten them to be excommunicated from the roman catholic faith. I will ban you bishops from viewing my blog hahah!

SK and barangay elections are near and local officials are already filing for their candidacy. I wonder what will happen to the notion not to have SK groups anymore. I think they ought to be removed from the system because it is a waste of money. They only organize basketball games anyway, any kid could do that.

Their are a lot of things on the mind of the ERC because power corporations say there is ample amount of electricity but there are still blackouts in Mindanao. I wonder what solutions they are going to give... a nuclear plant perhaps? We just need that, but it really has to be safe!

I admit, I'm watching ANTM reruns again. I'm obviously looking for inspiration! LOL!

Who ever said shooting high fashion is bad for the morning?! I'm doing that now, wish me luck!

Before I end this post, may I just say CBCP ULOL! Hahahah! XD

When Payday Is Far Away!

I purchased a couple of airline tickets and reserved a hotel for six people today. I don't even know that I have money to purchase that in the first place. I didn't think about it I guess. I checked the amount today though and I was a little bit shocked. That is an understatement of course and I didn't know it would get that big. I'm a little bit worried though because the payment should be done in a couple of days from now and I won't get paid for work until the 15th of this month. I need to get that settled first or face the consequences of adding up a preposterous debt because of added interest rates these banks usually charge. If only I could get a cash advance approved today that would be great! There are great sites on line like SUPERIORPAYDAY or INMYDEBTS just to name a few. I would like to try them out since I've heard good things about them. I can pay them back once my paycheck comes!

If that pushes through I would get rid of the trouble. I don't like getting into these things (the credit card interest dilemma!) but if it comes to a point that I need money to pay for it I'll do just that! Things are not easy for me now but at least I get to have my folks and relatives to travel with me. I know a lot of people go through the same situation that I'm in right now and I'm glad that there are businesses out there willing to help us out when we really need it. I love payday loans! It's a life saver!


Have you experienced getting loans you thought you couldn't pay for? What did you do to resolve it? Have you considered getting loans and paying them back on your pay day?! Let me know! Thanks!

Let me just get this out of my system okay?!

I freakin hate the Catholic Church in the Philippines. Whoever made that notion of civil disobedience should be shot and hanged at stake. I don't care if you are an archbishop or bishop, and this is not the freakin Spanish era where you guys are like gods! You are so st#&&! Freakin st*#&$!

Ok rant off... well almost! Hahah!

I think I want to go to Cosplay X this Saturday at SMX. It looks like conventions like these are going to be a great place to shoot subjects. I want portraits but it is a little crowded in places like these. I hate seeing people walking around the subject when I'm shooting. Maybe I'll stay around a wall and ask them to pose there instead. I was thinking of getting some of these people on my portfolio since I really like Anime. I still watch lots of them until now. Maybe if I borrow some of their big swords I can go to Manila Cathedral and slash that priest into pieces. I really hate him huh?! LOL

I probably should go out after that on Saturday. I don't know where I'm going yet but I'm sure if Fort or Morato is still open I might end up there. It'll be a little far though but I think I can handle it. Now if we put those priests in the rotunda of Morato and let them be hit by tomatoes by everyone who hate what they said to the President of this republic, we'll have lots of tomato sauce for lunch tomorrow. Wouldn't that be another thing to rival the tomatillo in Spain? After all they are acting like friars! Hahah! No getting over that!

Christmas is near. I wonder how many Catholics have decided not to go to church anymore. I wonder where I'll contact CBCP and show them a thing or two on what to say next time. I wonder when they'll accept that they are wrong. I wonder when they'll know how insensitive they think they are after all these are out in the open. I think I should put up a fan page just for them.

Rant off. The last thing I need is stress. I'm getting involved in this too much. =)

Storage Options

I have a lot of things in my mind right now and I'm not surprised. The hours I spend with work and photography has been really stressful. I chose this life and I'm not complaining. It's just that I'm running out of time. I have to get all my things out so I can get them to our home in the south. I wish we had something like what a storage company has so I wouldn't have any problems while I'm in between places. I'm nervous about putting the large furniture, filing cabinet, and some office paraphernalia elsewhere when I could have had it somewhere secure. Transportation services should have been easy for me too but I guess that goes with living in this side of the world. We don't have the comfort of living easy with services like that and I wish there was some way we can do this. Life isn't really that easy without it!

Apart from that realization, I'm beginning to think that I am at least lucky finding out something about it. At least I'm the one informed. Having these things would have made getting in and out of our home in the metro easier. We're not that lucky though to have everything organized and stored in one place first before we can get to move them. The logistics really would be another story. If in the near future they would actually be here; not just those trucking and transfer companies we seldom get... this city would be a better place. I wouldn't have to do move out if things were easy! You know what I mean! Peace of mind is priceless!

Do you rent places? Have you moved from one place to another? What problems did you encounter while moving? Let me know please!

It's EQUILUX today. The day where we almost have perfect 12 hours of day and 12 hours night. This only happens twice a year. Do we really have to say that?! LOL

Makati still has that building leaking with gas. That's the west tower building. It's been like that since July. They probably are going to wait until someone dies or if the building explodes. That would be a nice way to start the New Year celebration! Yay!

I lost my passport. Mom found it. Thank God for Moms! I won't be able to go out of the country if that happens. It's also painful to get an appointment with DFA nowadays. It would take you two to three months just to get one. The same to renew and if you lost your passport. Couldn't they just do it in a few days?! These people should have one day processing procedures, this is just crazy! I still hate you DFA!

There are still thousands of buses in EDSA that are considered colorum. If you saw the 3 which made me late for work last night please burn them down. Good thing I needed to stay late at the office so I could submit some papers.

Antonio Margarito is training hard to beat Manny Pacquiao. He's definitely taller and bigger in built but Pacquiao already did beat a lot of superstars with the same predicament. I wonder if Manny loses, this virtually unknown fighter would get a lot of money for sure!

Philippine Economy is picking up. We're having record highs in the stockmarket. If I could just sell my stocks on a high price then it would be great. Hope my broker won't be sleeping by that time. He sold my old stocks before then the day after it rose a couple of pesos, that was one bad deal and I hope he won't repeat that deed anytime soon!

I don't have any hitches now with the trip I'm planning. Although it would cost me a lot I think it's okay since my folks can enjoy something like this. Now where do I get the shopping money now... heheh donations anyone?! (^_^)v

Is it Quality or Quantity?

My photos are important and I have them all archived for copyright purposes. For any photographer, it is important to keep records of your shots to protect yourself and your clients. I have been a little skeptical about my ability to do this on my own. I don't even have the capability to do this on a large scale. Data is important in my line of work too and I have more than one backup hard drive apart from media that I have in storage. I can't be too sure in this day and age because when all else fails it's the important documents that could save me. I previously have some that I stored in CD and DVD disks but they all went bad after getting left on the dashboard. I can't rely on cheap media and not think about quality first. This is much like what CQ Duplication and Multimedia has! They might not be the least priced out in the market but they never sacrifice quality. This is one trait that makes them impressive in my dictionary. How else would you keep customers coming back for more of your services if you stay sub standard.

Most services on Video to DVD - Queensland has are great. Others don't think about what consumers would say after they get home and use the discs themselves. I personally have experience with this when I was giving away gifts for a wedding. The music and video kept skipping and there were a lot of complaints from my clients too. I know it was a little humiliating to just stand there and watch. It was one of the few moments when I thought about getting professional services for these things because a good company that would be able to produce superior quality Film to DVD - Queensland copies is surely going to be better than just purchasing cheap sub standard ones. Thanks to people who care about quality over quantity you'll know how important it is to only go for the best when your products are out. The China made ones are cheap but every time you make them you sometimes have to pray hard that nothing ever goes wrong with it (no pun intended; I'm just keeping it real!).

Is it quality or quantity? Which one would you choose?! Let me know!

I heard lots of praises for Charice's performance in Glee Season 2 (as Sunshine Corazon). They were all impressed by her powerful voice. In real life she's also got a crush on the guy in the wheelchair. I heard that guy is an awesome dancer too, but how come they restricted him to that chair?! Charice would like to thank everyone but she's down with the flu. She didn't attend an important gathering yesterday. It was a benefit for cancer research I think but it looks like they didn't see her there. I hope they still contributed even if she didn't go.

I've never ever ridden the Pasig River ferry until that Saturday we went on a photowalk. It was nice overall and I have nothing but praises. I just wish there was still something that we could do to rehabilitate it. It would really be a nice way to show Manila to tourists. If we maybe have some things done there much like in Bohol where restaurants are also on floating rafts, that would be really nice to see. Stop the pollution and we're gonna have a better river. The view is very different from where we were at that time. If only people flock that place and see for themselves, it would really be nice for them to tell other people what I saw. =) I'm hopeful this will turn out well in a few years.

The date I had this weekend was fun. I felt a little shy at first because we didn't talk that much about things. We watched The Guardians. It was cute. Not Academy Award material but it was so close to happy feet the owls literally looked like penguins. It was just cute nothing more. But what I enjoyed most was the times I attempted to hold hands. She was pretty, I was cute, what more can I ask for in a dark movie house haha!

Now you're not thinkin what I'm thinkin huh!? LOL!
