Ballerina shoot

Isa ito sa mga gusto kong ishoot - ballerina kids. Salamat MOP at nagawa ko rin. Ang kyut ni CK and Bianca and shempre may special participation pa ni baby!

After that shoot, i had another one. Pagkatapos non, di pa rin ako nakuntento, nag shoot naman ako sa Bishan library. So what do you call me now? :)

Photography is really fulfilling. Kahit nakakapagod gumising ng maaga para sa shoot, kahit nakakapagod dalhin si manfrotto, kahit magastos (waaah, ang gastos pramis), kahit hindi na ako minsan natutulog sa kaka photoshop, worth it naman. I enjoy taking the pictures as well as seeing the outputs.

I'm enjoying this ... really! :)

Yellow telephone

Got my pic posted in some website. I received an email in flickr and this person is asking if he can use my image in his website.

I agreed kaya ayan hehehe. nakakatuwa lang.

Here's the link

butiki in my nike water bottle

pag gising ko, nakita ko na may butiki sa nike water bottle namin!

First reaction? I have to get my camera!!! nyahahhahah ...

skate park!

as you may know, mababaw akong bata. madaling pasayahin.

Kaya nagenjoy ako talaga dito sa skatepark eb na inorganize ni Rein. Look how great our group hugs are! kudos to Reinier - galing ng kuha at editing. i soooooo love it

*Okay, one of the boys na naman ako. hahaha.*

And i also need to mention na ang bait ng skaters don (except for one, nyahahhaa). Since 50mm lang ang dala ko, talagang lumalapit ako sa kanila at humaharang sa pinagskatean nila. Kapalmuks ko no? Sobrang kumapal na nga mukha ko mula ng mag seryoso ako sa photography eh.

Next time, i really want to try out inline skating and skateboarding. it looks sooo cool!

(I'll try to finish my editing for the skatepark set para mapost ko na rin, dami na naman backlog)

Go to Reinier's multiply for more pics

dead tired of everything

I just want to sleep zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz

Gusto ko magrelax and to escape everything. Punta kaya ako sa Maldives magisa. Peace and quiet siguro yun.

Yes, i do love photography but i'm stressed, masyado kasi ako perfectionist eh. So when it comes to submitting pictures of model or prenup pics .... naiistress ako. haha! Tapos sinasabayan pa ng trabaho. matatanggal na ata ako sa trabaho ko eh kasi sobrang lag behind na talaga ako. No joke.
I slept 4AM to finish my work pero wala pa ako sa kalahati. sobrang dami pa ng gagawin. iyak na lang ako.

Hindi muna ako mag photography this week.

I don't want to be responsible

I feel weird this past few days.
Before i started photography, i was a loner. Really. Other than my brother and housemates and Rina, wala na ako friends.
Pero masaya ako. Mababaw ako eh. I can find happiness in simple things.

Ngayon, I feel that i am responsible for other people's happiness. Nahihirapan ako mag say No when they ask things from me.

As much as possible, tinatry ko sila pagbigyan. But it gives me undue stress. People pleaser ba ako?

I don't want to be responsible for other people.
I don't want them to make me feel guilty if i cannot do what they ask me to do.
I don't want them to tell me things that i need to do or they want me to do.

Ayoko ng feeling na nakukulong ako. Ayoko ng feeling na hindi ako free

:( I just need to get this off my chest. Nag drama na naman ako.

Canon gurl

Salamat kay kuya at hinahatian ako sa lahat ng gastos ko sa camera. yey! magastos na hobby pero sobrang fulfilling.

Every weekend punung puno ang schedule ko. nakakapagod. sobrang adik na ako, sa August gusto ko mag pahinga. Hindi muna masyado mag shoot. Actually sobrang magastos din e.

Ken and Leah

Just did some editing with the Ken and Leah prenup pic. Combined 2 pics which i both took during that shoot. What do you think? :-s

Its ok

Model: n e z

Photographer: Lesley

Camera owner: Nikon cam of Jude

Panalo ang model ko! Wuhoooo!

Nikon adiks

tsk tsk tsk ... malala na ang mga to! Sobrang seriousness sa pagpichur. cheesecake at brownies lang naman ang models.

Guys ... parehab na kayo! hahahahha

Jowena

Aside from Vanessa, she is also one of my photo buddy here in SG. Adik din sa photography like me ;)

Here she is ... onioncube/ iluvgreentea girl.

 

Ngayon ko lang natapos, salamat sa sick leave at naedit ko rin ang pics niya.

Girl band

This pic was edited by nez. Oh di ba naging girl band ang hitsura namin? Galing talaga!

overflow talaga ng talents sa group na yun.

Tuloy pa rin ang exhibit

After the Philippine Inependence day exhibit, inilipat ang aming mga ginawa sa 7107 islands restaurant. Sabi ni Sir Bhong, meron daw gusto bumili ng gawa ko pero medyo mababa ang bid. So di ko na rin ibinenta. But the thought that someone wanted to buy my work made me really happy. Hehehe

After work, we passed by this restaurant to see how our works were displayed. Astig. Maganda naman ang pagkakadisplay ;)

By the way ang mga photographers, walang dalang mga slr cam nung araw na yan kaya gamit namin ang cellphone cams ni Jo and Nez. Pwede na ren.

Girl tripping

Trip lang namin. Gusto kasi namin matry ang studio. Ako at si Vane first try namin sa studio and ayun, gusto namin matutunan ang lighting. Si Jo, may idea naman pero kelangan pa rin namin ng help sa mama na nagbabantay sa studio. Enjoy ang shoot! Sobrang salamat kay Liz for our wonderful makeup! Kulang ang 2 oras sa studio!!!

Celebrations

Triple celebration this Sunday sa mga mag housemates - Bell (nareview na), ako (PR na!), kuya (nagsimba! hahahahah). Kasama rin namin si ex housemate Kings + PG.

Thanks Bell sa libre ;)

maraming salamat sa Kanya sa lahat lahat ng blessings.

Trial at model shoot

 

Ang ganda talaga ng model namin!

nino.

haaaay. ang cute at gwapo nitong hapon na ito. *salamat jamie sa pic*

this is how to drink starbucks coffee

Photo taken by my brother.

Ayan, kasi kailangan ko ng kape na naman.

Chatting everyday with pinoygraphers sa ym conference is bad for your health pala ... hahaha. Sobrang puyat na ito. kaya namimigraine na ako at nalalate ng pasok sa office.

Absent na ako for the rest of the week sa online eb na yan. Ayaw ko na ;)

Persist, do not resist

(ooops, forgot to put watermark, antuk na kasi)

So long as there is breath in me, that long will I persist. For now I know one of the greatest principles of success; If I persist long enough I will win.
--- Og mandino

Thank you

"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our own breath away"

Sabi nila mababaw daw ako. Pero nagpapasalamat ako na mababaw ako, pagkat dahil dito, ako'y natutuwa sa mga simpleng bagay. Thank you Lord sa lahat.

Parents days out

Ay super saya ko this week kasi andito si Mami and dadi, ang pangarap ko na almusal natupad na. Nalinis din nila ang bahay namin na magulo (hehe).

Anyway, kumain kami ng kumain ng mga flatmates ko. Grabe. At nag Seoul garden pa. Yoko na. sobrang daming kain na namin

eto pala, random pics namin (2 photographers - ako at si kuya)

Mommy - aka "cheerful"

Daddy - aka "grumps"

Like mother, like daughter ;) (blurred ako)

Group pic - wala si kuya kasi siya ang kumuha.

Kings, mamiss ka namin! huhuhuhu... one less flatmate by June

Bell, ang may magandang mata. pashoot nga uli ng mata mo. ;)

i am a train freak. pati sila dinadamay ko sa train freakiness ko. hehehe

The dynamic duo

another sleepless night

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! sleeping pills please.

my life is my own doing

Gusto ko talaga yung line na yan sa before sunrise "my life is my own doing, or something. You know, like i was crashing a big party". Wala lang. Gagawin ko kung ano ang gusto ko, as long as kaya ko panindigan ang mga yun.

OKay, update time:

(1) Recently, i cannot sleep. Lagi naman ata e. Masyado ata active utak ko kaya di makatulog. Even if i sleep at 4AM, automatic nagigising ako ng 8AM. sunod-sunod na araw na!

(2) Pahinga muna ako sa sunrise shoots ko ngayon. Ang kasama ko na mahilig mag sunrise e nasa China. Buti na rin, rest na rin muna ako. Plus, darating pala parents ko this week. So busy talaga. Excited na nga ako sa pagdating nila mami e. Kasi may magluluto na ng agahan at dinner! whahaha, ang user ko. Joke lang yun. Siyempre excited ako darating sila. Bibili ko si mama ng maraming watch (yung mura lang sa bugis).

(3) Sa birthday ko, gusto ko ng macro lens. gusto ko talaga! sana may magregalo sakin nun ... or icombine lahat ng pera ng gustong magregalo sakin tapos ibili ako ng macro lens. yun lang solb na ako. Birthday and christmas gift.

(4) May Filipino na hinire yung office namin. Sa marketing siya, ayan, makakapagtagalog na ako. wuhooooo ang sarap.

(5) Miss ko na si nino at ohno. miss ko na ang aking arashi boys. nanood nga ako ng mago mago arashi kahapon. Ayan, sumaya na naman ako.

(6) Waah, i'm so busy. sumasabay pa tong trabaho ko. Sana may extra time pa talaga ako for all the things i want to do.

(7) Minsan naweiweirduhan na talaga ako sa sarili ko. Napapangiti talaga ako magisa pag may naisip ako na sobrang saya na thought. Minsan nakakahiya kasi pag may nakakita sakin, isiping lukaret ako. May pagka lukaret na nga ata ako e. hehehe!

da girls of pinoygraphers

Wala na ako oras mag update ng blog!!! kaya eto, madalian lang ...




ooops ... may nasingit na hindi girl. hehehe.
*pictures taken from China's friendster*

pics ito ng anniversary ng pinoygraphers. medyo baguhan lang ako diyan pero friendly ang mga tao at marami ako natututunan about photography sa kanila (at pati photoshop na rin). Marami ang mga adik sa photography diyan. dati akala ko ako lang. ayun pala marami pa ang mas malala sakin! ayan tuloy nahahawa na rin ako. hehhehe

Hanging by the moment

Desperate for changing
Starving for truth
I'm closer to where I started
Chasing after you
I'm falling even more in love with you
Letting go of all I've held onto
I'm standing here until you make me move
I'm hanging by a moment here with you

PS: its 1AM, and 3 hours later i have to wake up for the sunrise shoot again. eyebags galore na naman

pinoygrapher's anniversary

Di ako kita sa pic. ang liit ko kasi. anyway, ako yung naka green malapit sa flag.

Puyat na puyat ako ng araw na yan. Napagkasunduan kasi na mag sunrise shoot muna bago dumiretso sa anniversary. Hala mga 1:30AM ako natulog tapos ang wake up time ay 4! o diba. Aside from that, 1 whole week na 4- 5 hours lang ang tulog ko. Kaya puyaaaaaaat na puyat ako nun (at hanggang ngayon). yung mata ko nanliliit na. di ko na nga maidilat masyado ng araw na yan. Buti na lang may tulugan sa chalet kaya kahit papaano nakakaidlip ako. Di na nga ako nakakinig ng talk about wedding photography e. Oh well. next time na lang.

By the way, meron din palang model shoot. Haaaay di ko alam mahirap pala yun. Ang dami kasing photographer tapos ayun, mahirap. Nag give up ako agad. Next time ko na lang siguro itry uli pag less ang tao. Kamukha pala ni Nadine Samonte yung model namin. Ok siya kasi game na game.

Galing din ng live bands! Astig. Overall, nagenjoy ako kahit antok. Ang daming magagaling na photographer! nakakainspire sila.

Ok hanggang sa muli.

Before Sunrise

*picture taken in Boracay - Jan 2007 pero sunset setting*

Some conversations that i liked from this movie (starring: ethan hawke and Julie Delpy):

Celine: Have you ever been in love?

Jesse: Yes, next question

Jesse: What was the ...

Celine: Wait a minute. So i can give one word answers?

Jesse: Sure, why not

Celine: No, no, after i went into such private details about my first sexual feelings

Jesse: Those are very two different questions. I could answer the sexual feelings thing. But you know, love ... what if i asked you about love

Celine: I would have lied, but at least i would have made up a great story

Jesse: Love is a complex issue, you know. I mean, it's like ... Yes, i have told somebody i have loved them before and i meant it. But was it a totally unselfish, giving love. Was it a beautiful thing? Not really. You know love, i mean, i dont know. You know?

Celine: Yeah, i know what you mean

---

Jesse: I remember my mother once told me, right in front of my father ... They were having a fight, that he didnt want to have me, that he was pissed of when he found out she was pregnant

that i was a big mistake

That really shaped the way i think

I always saw the world as this place i really wasnt meant to be

Celine: That's so sad

Jesse: Well i mean, I eventually took pride in it

You know, like my life is my own doing, or something. You know, like i was crashing a big party

Sayonara

Ate left Singapore already. ang bilis. di rin namin masyado nasamahan kasi busy sa work. But, madami siyang uwing gifts para kay Keira baby! spoiled little girl talaga yun!

Anyways, Pansin pa rin ang brown streaks ng aking buhok! Hehe. I like it. Salamat sa aming photographer na si kuya. He used the 50mm lens. Ang aliw kaya ng lens na yun, bright ang mga kuha and niblublur niya ang background.

Anyway, I am excited for this Saturday's sunrise shoot sa East Coast. Sana maging maganda ang kuha ko. gusto ko rin mag bike pero nahihiya ako sa mga kasama ko. Di pa kami masyadong close. haha

P.S: Pumasok ako sa office na basang basa. parang basang sisiw. inabutan ako ng ulan kaninang umaga tapos wala pala ako payong. Haha. Nangangatog tuloy ako kaninang umaga sa office. wehehe.

pagod, period

I'm dead tired with all my extra curricular activities... but i am loving it.

I especially love my new cam (talagang MY e. heheheh. di  dapat kalimutan na hinatian ako ni kuya sa pambayad sa Canon cam na yan). Tenchu.

Anyway i'm killing myself i think. Kailangan magbawas ng hobbies or else, i will become like the picture below.

Cute ba sha or scary?

welkam to singapore!

Ayun, ate, welkam to the land of the "lah" people. 

"sige, itulak mo"

 

"why do you always have to have that weird face" - eto ba yung chandler bing face mo?

"elevator shot" - out of focus ang isa diyan. at ang hapi ni ate. hehehe

"mirror posing" - at pareho kaming blurred.si ate nagaayus ng gamit sa likod ko.

"My donald duck look face" - kamukha ko ata si donald duck dito. hehehe

PS: My new camera kwento next time. i have a new love yeeeeeeeeeey!
