Chinita LCA with a CS Flash attached, likes taking photos of people.

I love random photos. Just point and click the shutter and wham. You get random photos. I like how random these photos are. Captions to be added later. I'm too lazy. =)

Or maybe sometimes pictures are enough and no words are needed.

oh life

I had a shitty day and it's funny how it had to happen during the end of the day. It's amazing how one thing can ruin the whole 24-hours of your whole day. But oh well. What is life without a little drama once in a while?

But the upper was that I was able to chat with Papa after a long while. Heeh. :) I'm always not home in the evenings so yeah, it was okay.

As I speak, Kuya John and my sister are having a difficult time shooing away canine intruders in the property. We don't know how the hell four dogs were able to open our gates but they're here and one of them is ready to charge Kuya John because he tried to shoo them away. So now they're trying to figure out how my sister's fiance can get to his car without being bitten by the fierce dog who came to visit Doods, our apparently hearthrob mongrel. Ate wants me to watch it because she said "it's exciting" but now they come back inside the house and they're no longer as brave as they were minutes ago. "Galit talaga!", she said. HAHA! Oh dearness. What to do now! I'm scared of rabies. These are mongrels, for crying out loud! I'll write a progress report on this lateron.

Anyway, onto photos...these are from my Chinita LCA who is my new best friend and she is named Ella. She goes with me everywhere I go.


light fixtures on the ceiling of a Shell Select on North Luzon Expressway. This was en route to Cagayan. We stopped for a 4AM breakfast of hotdogs, Cinnabons, coffee, and juice.


Along Macapagal Avenue at Tuguegarao City. Across the street of this field of greens was a big watermelon stand. Too bad I wasn't able to take photos of the watermelon. The heat of the sun scared me so I stayed inside the car in the comfort of airconditioning.


I forgot where this picture was taken but I love photos of trees against a backdrop sky. So this was a random shot because I just thought the twigs look pretty.


I LOVE TREES. 'Nuf said.

San Agustin Church Wedding and Tamayo's reception (LCA+)

This was my first night wedding ever. It started at 7pm and reception was at 9pm. Yes, everybody was VERY hungry then.

strange and complicated

"Sometimes it feels like we're all living in some kind of prison, and the crime is how much we hate ourselves. And it's good to get dressed up every once in awhile and admit the truth. That when you look really closely, people are so strange and so complicated that they're actually beautiful. Possibly even me."
Angela Chase, My So Called Life (I love love love that show)

a photo of my soul

If I were to describe myself in one photo, I'd pick this picture.
It's psychedelic, it's colorful, it's dark, it's expressive, it's...complicated.
Notice that there are to contrasts in the photo-- the bright fuschia on the left and the dark hues on the right.
My soul is like that, I am bright and perky with a mix of strange different colors.
There is a dark side too but the lighter side of my soul outshines the darker counterpart.
I don't remember what I was thinking when I took this photo but I think I captured my soul.

down time

Won't you come sit with me
Over a good conversation and iced coffee?

highy, up, fly

High, up, fly,
into the cloudy sky.

the age of innocence

We were once children, you and me
We get older by numbers but in spirit?
Children is what we will always be.

massive photo update

LOOK AT MY EYES! PARANG BANLAG YUNG ISA. HAHAHAHA! SCARRRYYYY.



I stopped shooting film for a while because over 10 rolls of film were accumulated from november to january and I'm also running out of slide film. I dropped of the 10 rolls at Digiprint three days ago and this morning I woke up extra early (THINK 6AM!) because I woke up from my deep sleep and remembered that the LBC guy was scheduled to deliver my processed film and CDS (Digiprint processes them, scans them to CD, and then delivers it to your doorstep via LBC). At 7AM the LBC delivery guy called and said that he was going to drop off the packages at 7.30AM so I didn't go back to sleep. I WAITED...AND WAITED...AND WAITED...until 8AM. Then YEY!!! My processed film and CDS have arrived!

But it took me about 30 minutes to figure out why my DVD/CD drive won't read my CDs. I was so frustrated that I searhed the internet for troubleshooting a problem such as this. But LO AND BEHOLD! I decided to clean the CD drive-- wiped the CD tray and the laser thing that reads CDs and VOILA! It started spinning. AHHH...the sound was music to my ears.

Here are snippets:


Pagudpud Lovin'











Looking at these photos and feeling happy again made me remember why I exert so much time, energy, and MONEY for this hobby-- lo-fi photography, better known as, LOMOGRAPHHY-- there are no words to explain how good it is to have the power to freeze time and make ART with such a cheap plastic camera and a roll of film.
