Tayo na't Magkwentuhan - Mga Weblogs Ni Ace

boom!!!

here's switch at the sonicboom 3rd year anniversary.

first time ko maging official photographer para sa isang gig. and luckily it was one of my favorite yearly events. aside from enjoying the whole show bonus na yung nakapasok ako ng libre sa loob with access to anywhere i want. at binigyan pa ko ng 500 pesos na honorarium before going home. weeee. may pang kain kami after.

thanks to the production for inviting me.

in times of pain

a close photographer friend of mine is diagnosed with both leukemia and lymphoma. for starters parehong cancer yan.

kahapon pa niya sinabi sa kin via ym pero inisip ko na joke lang yun. sana joke lang nga talaga. pero iba yung dating nung sinabi niyang "kuya may sasabihin ako", alam ko nang merong hindi tama. at ayun na nga. kung hindi ko pa rin nakikita yung shoot for a cause event para sa kanya hanggang ngayon hindi pa rin ako maniniwala.

nakakaiyak pag parati ko naaalala yung sabi niya sa kin na "hindi ko na kase alam kung hanggang kelan na lang ako eh".

dasal na lang talaga, wala na kong ibang magagawa.

at para sa kanya, she needs to stay strong. meron pang photoworld 2010 (we were at photoworld 2009) at marami pang susunod na photoworld tayong pupuntahan. kung pupunta sa quiapo at para mamili nga accessories dapat ikaw pa rin alalay ko.
basta jan ka lang.

aj's christening

eto ang bago kong inaanak, si aj.

the 1st born of joseph, my college barkada. this is my 3rd inaanak. tatatlo pa lang pero nadadamihan na ko. kuripot pa naman ako. anyways, sino nga ba naman makaka-resist sa shining eyes ng batang ito. kaya ayun humingi ako ng pulang envelope, nilagyan ang loob ng pera at ibinigay sa aking kumpare.

at eto...

napaka-rare na mapagsasama mo kaming lima ng ganyan ngayon. last time yata nung reunion namin 3 years ago pa.

everytime na magkita-kita kami paulit ulit naming inuulit ang mga kwentong matagal na naming pinagkukwentuhan. at sa tuwing pinapaulit-ulit namin ang mga kwentong paulit ulit nanaming kinukwento nagtatawanan pa rin kami, walang mintis.

at sa aming lima parang ako lang yata ang hindi tumanda (motto kong bago: "growing old is optional"). tingnan mo lahat sila pang tatay na ang mga tiyan at ang mga suot.

sb3 + sportsfest

6 days to go before the baddest rock show in this side of the country. s0nicb0om 3rd anniversary na. in 2007 there were 12 artists including singapores "plain sunset". in 2008 there were 16 with london's "fire fall down" and singapore's "west grand boulevard". this year mas panalo, 21 bands and 2 stages in a single room. with foreign guests ulit at ang pagbabalik ng SATI. and i was even invited by the staff to shoot for this event, swerte. i'd be happy kung papasukin nila ako ng maaga sa venue at sana libre na lang, hehe. anyways, kahit ano pa yan enjoy pa rin. rak en rol lang mga kapatid.

here's a picture of us playing our first ever frisbee game. ayun ako na may hawak ng frisbee. fun fun game. parang netball (australian basketball na walang backboard), rugby, football at soccer na pinagsama minus the physicality (may ganitong word ba?). non-contact sport kaya medyo safe laruin kahit na magkahalong boys and girls ang players.

we had two matches. yung 1st dinaya kami haha!!! we were going against a team with 4 or 5 philippine frisbee team players. boo!!! sa 2nd we won with a score 7-1. 3rd place kami over-all (aapat lang ang teams).

conquer!!!

kulelat kami sa buong sportsfest. haha. ang tanging game na na-dominate namin ay dr. quack quack.
hmmm.

farmtown is out

FFS (friends for sale) is in. mabisang pamatay oras. basically a game of greed. revolves around the win some-lose some equation and the goal is to win some and get more. three things are required: (1)popularity, (2)strategy, and (3)generous amount of internet time.

project walk-run-walk

for a change i started project walk-run-walk yesterday. tingnan natin kung hanggang kelan ako tatagal. simple lang. 5 min walk tapos 5 min times 3. ang sarap pakinggan ng pedicab at taken by cars habang naggaganito.

hello

i now have tantalizing eyes. nagpagawa ako ng bagong lente ng salamin. siguro naman gaganahan na ko ulit mag-shoot ngayon.

i have 2 new cds added to my collection. the ambassadors' "life goes on" and sugarfree's "mornings and airports".

"life goes on" - the ambassadors best release in 3 albums. tama si judi, bai did rescue the band after struggling for 2 years. somehow i was a witness to that period.

"mornings and airports" - mahirap lagpasan o pantayan man lang yung "tala-arawan" na last release nila. for me that's their best output. kasama nga sa top 5 albums sa collection ko. naiintindihan ko kung bakit. dalawa lang yan, either higitan mo yung personal (personal?) best mo or humanap ka ng ibang daan kung hindi mo kaya. at humanap nga sila ng ibang daan. ebe wrote a handful english songs now which is not so him. weird, sugarfree singing english songs is like watching jim carrey in a starwars movie.
