A day of shooting

Using a sony ericsson k800i.

Say Grace First

Before downing a plate of steak.

Kissed!

Gene Simmons.

Ritratto

Villa Escudero, Laguna Pilipinas

A couple of snaps from the trip.

EPISTLE

Dewdrop covered greens
mirror the frail, cold sunlight
as the letter flies away.

She pulls her coat tighter
as the chill's embrace made her
numb and shiver, whispering
its sympathy over the trickling of a leaf.

The night wraps around her
as her heart bleeds,
no one to hold her
silently she weeps.

Refreshing

Decided to snap a photo of the fountain on my way out of Trinoma on a sunny morning.

Cheerios

The breakfast of champions trying to lose flabs

Red Devil Duckie

Just checking out the macro shooting of my se k800i, great!

FMCC shirts by FrancisM.

Grab 2 shirts from the fresh store, i've been lookin for this shirts for a week and finally i nailed a pair, they're cool shirts, for the urban patriot that i am. I LOVE PINAS! Im ready to defend the Three Stars and the Sun!

Pigs Galore and whatevers...

pigs galore

flora

siblings

Nothing much but snapping with my Moto@ a mall.

The Future of the Nation

These kids decided to skip class to hang out and smoke @ the CCP grounds. I saw visions of a dark future.

Morning Ride

@ the Ayala bridge to Malacanang

CCP dance group doing their morning routine

The rowing team off for their practice

It is a gloomy day, sky is kinda dark but i decided that im goin to ride and visit some places for some photo ops, so i dusted off my mountain bike, charged my Creative Muvo and prepared my trusty Kodak for the trip. It is already 6am and rush hour is about to start so i immediately ride the wind.

The Father of the Katipunan

As i was walking towards the jeepney stop from SM Manila, i've noticed Andres Bonifacio's shrine and the gloomy weather as its backdrop,nice photo op so i decided to take a snap. Gat. Bonifacio's statue shows him in one of the Spanish revolt which is one of the gloomy era of this country. Nice shot for me.

I know what but how?

Been toying my pocket pc @ Dulcinea's and having a fresh brew, thinking, pondering what to do next after a couple of applications and interviews to somehow start moving away from the crossroad where i am right now. My real want is to be a an audio production or sound engineer, i've been doing stuff similar but right n0w there's no opening, i guess i'll study first and hone my skills, but where? unfortunately there is no audio production school here, you got to learn the hard way and get lucky to have exposures to this stuff. anyway im still hopeful that i'll be on a different path before the end of this year.

Trinoma Mall, head to head with SM North

The Ayala's decided to go head to head with the mall mammoth, the SM Malls, they decided to erect Trinoma right in front of SM North Edsa. If you're fond of the Ayala Malls, no need to go to Makati, Trinoma has that Ayala mall feel, the activity center is at the middle like the Glorietta, they also got some sort of garden at the top to keep the ambiance green and fresh and a lot more. Check it out.

Hot Wheels @ The Block, North Ave. QC

Able to check the Hot Wheels and Matchbox exhibit @ the SM North The Block building, lots of tracks to engage your hot wheels and there is also a Honda clad in Hot Wheels vinyls. Cool!

Onboard the Train to Makati

Went to Makati to hang out with my mate Richie and check what he do and how he do it for a living.
the quickest way to get there is the train, it is usually jampacked since it is the mode of transpo for the everyday people. well, im lucky it aint full and im luckier than a sardine in a can.

The Music Plays

I was having my Vigan Empanada @ The Mall of Asia after checking the HR's building when i spotted this band playing assorted pop songs attracting mallers, gawkers, passerbys and the likes, they even played the Hawaii five O theme, ( why is it always on the playlist?) So i snapped a couple of shots.

Please check my other blog

I started a photoblog out of depression ( talkin bout the camcorder) if your into photos just click the link Ritratto. So all my sceneries and new photo stuff will be uploaded there, the poetry stays here, i'll just gather stuff to upload. Namaste!

My Caffeine Fix

The last time i had my Vanilla Latte is almost a month ago, went to my favorite shop to grab a tall one, had a good time with myself, alone, no one bothering me, im not feeling exactly sociable coz im kinda lost since some of my tech toys died on me (weeping) how can i finish my vidz? i have to wait for at least a month to have them check or replace my unit, shite! anyway, i'll just concentrate on my photo ops, i just hope my trusty Kodak won't die like the rest of them dear departed.

Pushed to a breakpoint

My divicamcorder conked on me while shooting Mal's music video, Shite! my mobile phone accidentally fell, and nosedived to the solid cement, died on the spot, Sheesh! My desktop pc is aging, showing signs of it, Oh god! so what else is going to bade me good bye, it is hampering my tech life! Mal's vid was set aside coz i have to bring the camcorder to the shop and have it replaced or repaired ( the good thing is i was able to dug up the warranty card), and i have to use my back up phone ( good thing i have back up), and create a new spec for my new dream desktop pc ( maybe it is time to upgrade, she's 3 years old already!). the thought of a new desktop rig makes me smile! Oh boy! if only i have the dough to replace it instantly.

Mabuhay Rotonda at Night

On my way home atop the pink overpass in Welcome Rotonda QC, i decided to snap a photo of the Rotonda landmark at night.

I SILENTLY WEEP

On the steps i sit
staring at the peacefulness
of the darkened skies

The cold windy breeze
along with the drizzle
soothes my weariness

I've downed my last ale
along with my cigarette
hoping fear would fade

I cried as i think
of loneliness, signalled by
the wind of silence

As the trickling leaves
slowly floats down with my heart
i can only sigh


Do not go, not yet
is the only words i could
mutter inside me


Will you ever know?
how i really treasure you?
how i wish you know

Will you ever feel?
that my life will close on me?
if ever you'll go?

As i close my eyes
i grip my Kristo pendant
asking for a chance

A chance to be with you
before the light dims, before
the sound of life fades

A chance to show love
before the soul starts to glide.
I'll weep silently.

Meet Mallory, the Mouse...

After inquiring at CAL and booked an online learning session, i decided to wander around the mall, i saw i guy from Blue Magic, a gift shop, playing with a puppet, i figured i could use a puppet for my new video, so i went inside the store, checked the animal puppets and grab Mallory the Mouse, kinda cute but im gonna make his character a little annoying and pesky in the upcoming vidz, ( which he will star). I gotta find that fast food song for the first project.

The Manila City Hall

Just wandering around Manila, went to SM to check CAL (computer assisted learning) school, im planning to enroll on their online courses to heighten my IT skills and jump ship and look for another nice paying job, heheh! well, i have my nifty Kodak cam this time, tried to get a good shot of the City Hall Clock, a photographer wanna be, that's me.

School's back! Along with the traffic.

(3 honda's in traffic, sheesh!)

It is June, the month that starts the school season, every kid will be wandering the streets early in the morning to go to school and afternoon to go home, go to the mall, go to where ever, thus contributing to the rush hour traffic. so heavy traffic, welcome back!
