Well I thought I was going to edit videos all day. Thank God I
"made aya" my lola to the ever confusing
Quiapo. I usually liked going alone to place unfamiliar to me, but Quiapo is one place I never dreamt of getting lost in. My lola is the best when it comes to
pasikot-sikots around Manila. Despite her 3 year stay in Bahamas & Florida, and her long stay in Legazpi, she still remembers her way around here. Let's give my lola a big YAY shall we?
YAY!So, this is the best day of 2009 so far. A day full of analog love and old-school Manila. I went to Hidalgo (yay!) to get my newly acquired, 2nd hand SLR fixed. Kuya Mike of Vedicnation sold the Ricoh KR-10 X for 1k 'cause it has a defect, the film advance lever is stuck. But when I brought it to Mang Dong's, the
manong who isn't Mang Dong told me there was no defect. So he pseudo-fixed it for free. But I swear it has a defect, I checked it myself. Ohwell. I also spent a hefty amount on Solid Gold and Lucky films for trial rolls. I have the Rolleimat and this Ricoh yet to be tested!
I'm planning to do my Project 365 on a single roll of film. Armed with VEE and roll of Lucky, I might pursue this idea for the month of March. Or maybe not. Maybe on April when it's summer and I'll be able to go on trips. Whatever ohwell papel.
Go Analog all you digital rebels! Embrace film!

Tama Ka, Friend.

tagalog post, yikes!Mga bandang 6:15 nabuksan ni
Yatch ang usapang
"gender wars" habang nagbabantay kami ng kapapanganak pa lang na pasyente.
YATCH: Ang tagal itahi noh?
AKO: Kaya nga.
YATCH: Ang hirap naman maging babae, grabe tingnan mo yung hirap ni nanay.
AKO: Buti ka pa nga lalake ka eh.
YATCH: Ou, at ikaw babae. Every month may masakit sainyo, masakit pag gumawa ng baby, masakit rin pag manganganak kayo.
AKO: Ang galing, buti ka pa na-realize mo yang bagay na yan.
Tama nga naman ang friend at seatmate kong si Yatch.
Mahirap talaga maging babae. Masasabi ko na rin na ang mga babae eh designed maging shock-absorbers, yung tipong matatakbuhan mo pag wasak na wasak na ang mundo mo. Tingnan nyo ang mga nanay nyo, diba sila ang laging sumasalo satin kahit anong gaawin natin? Malakas din ang pain tolerance ng isang babae kung kukwentahin sa buong pagkabuhay niya sa mundong ibabaw. Uulitin ko lang sinabi ni Yatch. Every month may masakit dahil sa dalaw. Pag gumawa ng baby masakit rin. Pag nanganak, isang paa nasa hukay na, puspusang pag-ire, dinudugo at sobrang nasasaktan. Yun eh maliban na lang kung nagpa CS si nanay. Idadagdag ko pa jan ang sakit ng ulo pagdating sa mga asawang pasaway at sa mga anak na hindi na malaman kung galing sa impyerno o nasa "rebellious stage" lang.
Mas naiintindihan ko na kung ano ang hirap na dinaranas ng nanay ko sa pagpapalaki saming 2 pasaway nyang anak. Kaso nagpa-CS siya kaya easy lang ako ilabas kahit sobra na ako sa buwan, heehee. Iritable ako, kagaya lang ng nanay ko. Alam nya rin na yun ang talagang namana ko sa kanya. Pero madalas ako maging demonyong anak at laging iritable pag dating sa mga tanong nya. Na-realize ko na, mahirap akong maging anak. (Halakhak) Pero mahal ko nanay ko kasi hindi nya ko pinapalayas kahit minsan pasaway ako. (Halakhak ulit)
Hindi ko alam kung bakit naisip kong gawin tong post na 'to. Siguro masyado lang overwhelming ang pagdduty ko sa lying-in. Ebidensya 'to na hindi lang puro skills ang natutunan ko sa duty na 'to, kundi
"life-realizations" kumbaga.
Sana kayo, dumating rin ang oras, kahit hindi Mother's Day eh marealize nyo kung ano ang pinagdaanan ng mga nanay nyo para "iluwa" kayo sa mundong ibabaw. Pasalamat kayo, sumigaw ng "TENKYUUUUU MAAAAAAA!" at bigyan siya ng isang malupet at makapigil-hiningang yakap.
Ayiieee.

HAPPY ♥'s DAY!I hope you had fun with your loved ones. It doesn't necessarily mean your other-half and your boyfriends/girlfriends, family and friends would do. 
--------------------
I enjoyed my day as it is. Another year celebrating Vday as a normal day, it's all good. It's all in the power of being optimistic. I didn't make being
single such a big deal 'cause I know that
IT will ruin my day. Though, the day started a little rough 'cause
someone tried to ruin my day by arguing with me. Such a so-so day. I didn't go out because I don't like to see couples frolicking around.
Bitter?. NO, just my defense mechanism.
Anyway, enjoy the remaining hours of Valentines. I wonder,
puno nanaman ata ang Sogo ngayon...Labels: DLY, RNDM

JANUARY 2009
February 1, 2009
ACCOMPLISHED.(hiii-ya!
)
Here's a little idea I thought of just now. How 'bout every end of the month (or maybe the first day of the next month) I post things I've accomplished or things that I'm proud of that I've done. Ok, too many run-on sentences there, but hey, let's start with January shall we?
I got to know my beloved
group68 more. I'm happy to say that we've grown closer as the duty days add on.
Wala nang tahimik, lahat pinakita na ang tunay na kulay. I've had the realization that my attitude towards schoolwork won't help me achieve the personal status I am aiming for my academics. Studying is as important as playing.
I've been
independent these past few weeks, and I'm becoming proud of myself for doing things on my own. I have the sense of freedom overwhelming me again. It's a though job, but hey, at least I'm learning.
I rode the
LRT2 line on my own! I'm starting to like travelling to far places on my own. Commuting, finding my way around is much better than taking the cab and pointing the directions.
The
4 rolls of 110 film I sent to digiprint has all been exposed properly. The 135 didn't do so well. I've got a lot to learn in film photography.
I've learned to be patient. Something this month made me sit for hours in one place. It gave me time to contemplate on things.
(HOPE YOU HAD AN AWESOME JANUARY)

Let's try something new shall we?
This is my first try with ETHAN.'s B&W mode, which I've never explored before.
It's nice to try something new every now and then, right?
