sardonically speaking

I don't know how to take these photo links sent by a friend (friend conspirators).

Okay, I get the joke and can i just say... it's good to be far away right now.

Thanks for the shirt in advance, damnit!

"Keep Calm and Abangan Mo Sila Magbreak" shirt.

and...

Hahah, the Abangers (forever alone) shirt. Hahah, damn.

Finding this video posted on my facebook wall means only one thing.
Chowfi and Rom's wedding date is getting nearer.

The couple as hilarious as ever hahah.

Now the only dilemmas in life are picking a dress and booking a flight back to MLA.

I love it that i'll wear blue. :)

i-ni-mi-ni-mi-ni-mooo...

So torn which looks better in azul..

or maybe i should just draw something.

Ophila's 18th birthday

Ophila Ong's 18th birthday at Soleil Sky Terrace.

Seriously, an eighteen year old girl is taller than me...

What's happening with the world. I wish i can still grow tall when i turn twenty-seven next year. 

last weekend of march

If the sky falls, hold up your hands...

tells a famous Spanish saying.

 In my case, raising them with painted cuticles. :P

I really like this color. And Payne's Grey.

{The polishes i bought from Mikikay at 98B Future Market}

Speaking of 98B, before running to catch the Art Talk,

i had a chance meeting up with Ria, Inah, and Pete (not in photo).

Thanks to Theo and his very nice camera for this shot. 

On Sunday:

Winter has come.

books, cute purse, and nando navarro

I always believed that books should be read and not kept in a shelf for years. Dusty books are lonely books. So i gave two of my favorites to a friend. There's this impalpable thread that connects people who share books with each other. That's why i love libraries. A huge room filled with books is a meeting place of a thousand lives. And a person who reads meet these thousands. :)

I really like this pretty Palawan coin purse Mikibear gave me.

It's very timely to the fare hike, heheh. Mahirap mag-store ng tig-bente-cinco sa wallet. 

 Guys, meet Nando Navarro.

I'm practicing film photography again. Good thing, Kuya Toto left Nando for safekeeping so i don't need to buy a new film SLR. Nando is still in good shape, i tested few shots on Mori yesterday. Another inspiring thing to do to keep the creativity flowing while painting. I'm planning to buy a lomo cam for christmas but i want to restart with the manual film process first. This is going to be fun. I already got two photoshoot bookings: Googs' graduation day and Alain's birthday pasiklab. :)

at eagle and jick's

Random photos from Ate Jick and Eagle's birthday party last weekend.

Uma's shot of my camera double flash exploding on my face.

Magic! I just blushed after the explosion. :3

How deep is the surface

In his most recent show, Don Djerassi Dalmacio presents his inquiries on the meaning of art itself. Down to the point of extreme questioning he carefully tries to disassemble the parts of a concept that makes up a whole, in where he hopes to unearth answers to things that actually tend to have no concrete answer at all. The most fascinating of these queries, is where he questions an artwork’s authenticity, or perhaps the truthfulness of the artist itself when it comes to both the conception and the materialization of an art piece. These days, such things are hard to determine as many factors are constantly appearing in the art world as it enters a crucial age, something that either terminates it to extinction or recreates it into a second renaissance of a sort.  -- Blanc Gallery

My favorite.

Cherry Bomb (my camera) have this weird tendency of automatic photo distortion, heh.

Kuya Beejay and his boys.

Oh, it's her birthday today.

Happy birthday Mikibear! <3

Some photo grabs from Blanc's and Ros' fb:

We're this happy as we talked about dogs, cats, other pets, unicorns, etc.

farewell december

{zoom photo}

... Keep that little child inside!

Hold her close to your heart,

We're only here for a brief time

Then with this world, we must part

For a moment each day

It's OK to get silly

to laugh and dance. 

Take in all Gods glory

At every single chance.

~ Poem from Uma's fb album post for her "Farewell December" photography project

which i modeled in. It's really an honor to be called "your favorite model" hahah,

I supposed because we bond so well and it feels like we're just playing around

and having fun even under any unfortunate circumstance that befalls the shoot.

Thank you so much, Ums. Thank you for always bringing the best out of my awkward face.

It's been a while since our last shoot and it's kind of nostalgic

remembering how i grew up within your camera's lens.

:)
