Okay, I'm gonna try this one...
I’ve sold my Nikon D40 and Benro tripod and still in my hiatus mode though I’m not ending my photography love affair. I just thought that it would be better to experience the challenge of shooting in film. I may have done this in the past (film photography) for my photo journalism class at the university, but I never did appreciate the experience compared to today.
I’m not against digital...

A Different Way
Last Saturday I was able to attend a retreat organized by the Christian group, CCF. The event was called One Way, One Day. From the name, it’s a one day retreat held at CCF Makati branch in A.venue along Jupiter Street in Makati City, Philippines.
At first I wasn’t really ecstatic in attending. In fact, I had a last-minute hesitation if I was going to attend or not because my asthma...

Fotolr Photo Studio
Fotolr Photo Studio is another awesome application available in the Android market that gives you various options to post process your photos in an instant.
I was able to download it for free weeks ago and did a test run.
It offers a lot of options from simple cropping to color adjustment to adding text to enclosing photos in different frames. Though the options are plenty, I haven’t...

Oh yeah, this is a ----Photo Spam----
3 things I wouldn’t be tired of…
1) eating and appreciating great food (since I’m a lazy cook)
2) taking photos (using either my Galaxy tab or any of my cameras)
3) spending time with people I truly love (thank god for them)

i will always be lola's girl
Coming from a matriarchal family, I grew up believing in the power and strength of women. I never have to wait for the Spice Girls to teach me about girl power or encounter advocates pushing for women’s rights.
At our house, my mom manages almost everything— from laundry, cooking, budgeting, to interior decorating. Because our dad was then working abroad, she had to take the role of...

a reason to love Android apps
I admit, at first I’m not so ecstatic about Android. But just this year after purchasing a Samsung Galaxy tab, I’ve immediately fell in love with the gadget and its system.
I get most of my apps from Android Market and Samsung Kies; and even if I’m just opting for the free applications, they’re very decent and not to mention very amusing to use and explore.
Right now,...

This is what I’m feeling for you, love! :)

start of the 28th
Today marks the first day of my 28th year. I thank the heavens for being so kind and loving to me. I may not be the most grateful and obedient human being around, but there are still a lot of blessings coming my way.
First of the many, many awesome things that I am always thankful for is the good health condition of my family and people I love and care so much. For me, I would rather choose to...

Whoa, it’s my birthday once again…
***Yes, I wish I was this fab! *** ^o^
Really now, it’s surprising to realize that another year will soon pass. I will no longer bear the “rock star age”, but will be 2-year short before the big 30 (oh noes!).
Okay, not that I’m scared of getting old or anything. In actuality I’m feeling more at peace now compared to some of my 20-something birthdays. I guess it will be safe to say that I have...

A Chubby Friday Night
I intended to take my friend to Hawker House last Friday after we bought a portrait frame and fancy gift wrappers for our wedding present to our friend.
But since rain was pouring hard, and both of us were very smart enough not to bring umbrellas, we’ve depended our “dryness” fate to whatever cover we can utilize while traversing the path from Glorietta 5 to Hawker House’s...

things that make me happy these days
Days are pretty restless, and the time can be a bit hazy.
But thank god for these simple treats.
Yes they’re the ones to tell you…”sit back, my honey. life is still good.”

“Man doesn’t choose fate. Fate chooses man”
I remember this line from the book I’m currently reading, Haruki Murakami’s Kafka on the Shore.
I was trying to absorb it. At first I think it’s absurd to view it that way since people are basically given freewill to do stuff they want, ergo they cannot depend or blame some higher being or the universe for something they don’t want to happen. But after some personal encounters and unforeseen...

something random on a lazy Sunday
Yes I know it’s already Tuesday. My lack of access to Tumblr these days wouldn’t allow me to post anything at random. I’m not complaining though since I can still do it on the side.
Anyway, I’ve recently downloaded Retro Camera for Gustav (my Samsung Galaxy tab) from the Android Market…and I’ve never been so happy with the pictures. There’s still a lot of...

back to the "oh, short hair!"
Because I’m super lazy to fix my hair most of the time, I’ve proven that a hairstyle like this is the best for my lifestyle.

The word there is "challenge"...
It’s Friday, YAY! I guess 99% of the working population can attest that this is the most wonderful day of the week, of course with the exception of Saturday.
I can’t say that this week has been as hectic as the other past weeks but it has been one of the most challenging for me, especially as a writer. I won’t get into details since I’m not really ranting this is happening...

Happy birthday, Jill!
Last Saturday my family and I celebrated my elder sister’s birthday. She took the us out for a festive dinner at YakiMix in Trinoma. Though I was late (as always since I came from my apartment in Makati), I had a hefty share of legendary awesomeness buffet treats (yes, I’m not exaggerating it is one of the best buffet spree I’ve been to).
OH YES you are indeed...

Transformers Night
I was lucky to be one of the agency peeps invited to History Channel’s Transformers: Dark of the Moon movie screening last night in Greenbelt 3. Good thing, I was able to finish most of my work load on time (and when I say on time, it meant going home before 8pm).
Anyway, though I left the office before 8, I was still late for the event since it started at 5:30 pm. In...

a late "Happy Father's Day, Dad!" post
I admit, I never had that ideal “father-daughter” relationship with my dad.
When I was in my teens to early 20s, I never fail to clash with him. I guess my idealism, strong will, and (yes, occasional) I-know-I am-right-bad-ass attitude never (ever) got us into a peaceful argument. That’s why when I landed my first job, I decided to move out of our house. I knew we both needed...
