Photography

After composing another experimental track yesterday, I went to Bonifacio Global City to hang out with cosplayers and friends at Terra 28th, the common spot for photoshoots. Aside from us, there are two other groups of photographers hanging out inside Terra 28th, which is great. I got an invite from Allineus, whom I met at the same spot months ago. Unlike other photographers who carries with them DSLR cameras, this guy brings in his Apple iPad — and yet, he knows what he’s doing. He’s a multimedia arts graduate, and he’s fluent in Adobe applications, which made me think “I should’ve taken that course if the school I graduated to has one”. ...

Taking a break from the recently-finished Tourism Lifestyle & Business Expo, here’s the photos that I took in the middle of the night. The one above is at Kapitolyo in Pasig at twilight, where there’s no one around. This one is at the Glorietta Mercato Centrale night market — a half-liempo meal worth Php50, just the right one I want to eat as a treat after being on the field for half a day or so. ...

There’s this event called “Batuhan ng Camera sa BGC ng mga Cosplayers,” which is actually another cosplay photo shoot with friends, and I placed this on today’s agenda aside from the WSFC Jamboree. Here’s the photos of cosplayers that I took: …and here’s more photos that I took as well — this time, from a behind-the-scenes perspective: Thanks to all of the cosplayers whom I have bonded with — let me know if you want to see your pics so I can send those to you. Also, thanks to Jus (he’s donning the female Yuno Gasai and I believe he’s a guy) for the nightmare fuel — yours are the best shots so far.

I’m up again for another quick post for this week. I’ve taken the headline photo from this hotel called Luxent at Timog Avenue in Quezon City. You are free to think negatively about this, but that is actually a sign for the restroom in the 5th level. …and this is how their lobby looks like. Cool. …and that’s another quick post. Looking forward to see you outside tomorrow as I go take a break from work. See you somewhere, friends.

Today’s a mix of good and bad news for me, but I can rest assured that my soul is stable. The good news came all throughout the day as I hosted the PMA Summer Expo at the Glorietta Activity Center in Makati. Words cannot simply express the afternoon that went as I talked all the way throughout that whole time, and I’m thankful that I can still make good use of myself using the knowledge and skills that I had. I was troubled with how my face looks and how I squeal sometimes. ...

I rarely post photos with me on it, but this one that my mom took is so good I just had to post it here. We were invited by my cousin KC (who is the reason why I got my hands on the internet) to go to Bagac, Bataan. This one’s a four-hour trip from Manila through the North Luzon Expressway so we had to meet up by 1AM. ...

It’s been a busy Saturday once more as I went to three cities today. My objective was supposed to be: To buy the same pair of shoes that I got in Recto, To visit the ToyCon Launchpad at the UP Town Center, To check out the Food Fair at the Megatrade Hall in Mandaluyong, To promote the PMA Summer Expo on DZME 1530kHz AM studios in Ortigas, To check out Arkadymac’s 3rd Anniversary in Makati. So far, I’ve only done three out of five tasks over the span of 13 hours. ...

Just before the month of January ends, I was invited to two activities in one day. Kendo I was able to join a Kendo practice for two hours. My impression of Kendo came from its depiction in Naoki Hanzawa and in various anime series, so it will be the first time that I am going to do a practice session for real. As a beginner, I have realized that my hand and foot movements are out of sync, much like my life nowadays. Koji Igarashi-sensei of the Iga Kendo Club (which holds the session) told me that Kendo needs a big (loud) voice, and I find it a challenge as I have a deep voice. ...

Today, I went to a friend’s place to check out his secret base, which eventually led to a trip to the Mall of Asia complex to meet with other comrades (who are also going to witness ONE OK ROCK’s first concert in the country). Here are some of the photos that I took. The friend I was referring to is BossMac from Back2Gaming. Long story. Manila Mall of Asia Complex, Pasay City ...

I was able to get to three places — Pasig, Pateros, and Taguig. Here are some of the photos that I took. Pasig City I always like to take a picture of this part of the Manggahan Floodway. I’ve done this in more ways than one. Pateros It’s quite funny that I was able to pass by Pateros without realizing I left it. It’s quite odd for me. I should’ve gone and tasted their delicacies as well. ...
