----
Even the wise man has no answer...

Pascal once said, “The heart has reasons that reason cannot know."

Don't blame ordinary people if they get confused because even Blaise Pascal gets baffled...

angels or devils

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna come here tonight
this is the last time - I will fall
into a place that fails us all - inside

I can see the pain in you
I can see the love in you
but fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down
come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

this is the last time
that I'm ever gonna give in tonight
are there angels or devils crawling here?
I just want to know what blurs and what is clear - to see

still I can see the pain in you
and I can see the love in you
and fighting all the demons will take time
it will take time

the angels they burn inside for us
are we ever
are we ever gonna learn to fly
the devils they burn inside of us
are we ever gonna come back down - come around
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could break us

if I was to give in - give it up
- and then
take a breath - make it deep
cause it might be the last one you get
be the last one
that could make us cold
you know that they could make us cold
I'm always gonna worry about the things that could make us cold

happy holidays! :D

merry christmas and happy new year. :D

wala lang

mga kwentong wala lang. :D
hehehe... actually..... nagbabasa kasi ako ng mga libro ni bob ong ngayun...
eh mejo nainspired ako sa mga walang kwenta nyang sulat...
so try ko lang magsulat din... hahaha. :D

---
kanina lang, habang naghihintay makapagbihis ang kasama ko dahil katatapos lang nilang maglaro, nanuod ako ng naglalaro ng badminton.

Nag serve si babae, ubod lakas na ini-smash ni lalake yung shuttle cock.
SHIT! sabi nung babae.
Sapul sa mata. Maluha luha.

Panay ang sorry sa babae.
"di ko naman sinasadya. sorry na."

naisip ko. kung magkasintahan o nanliligaw pa lang, wag maglalaro ng badminton na kalaban mo yung babae. Kundi. Lagot. Tapos. Ang maliligayang araw mo.
Basted ka na. or break na kayo.
hindi ko naman sinasabing mangyayari to o may mga babaeng ganito kababaw, masaktan lang eh break na kagad or basted na kagad or away na.
Pero posible di ba?

----

yan lang. walang kwenta. hahaha... :D

now - mymp

Mymp - Now

Now is all I know
Now is all I got
And I don't know
If there will be tomorrow for us.

Now is all I care about
Now that you are here
Now that you're the contents of my heart.

Now you're all I know
Now is all I promise
And I don't know
If there will be a future for us.

Now is all I live for
Now that you are near
And it was best that from the start it was clear.

Loving is not owning
We can let it go
We can let it go.

Loving is not owning
You can let me go
You can let me go.

There's a reason
Why we love each other now
And we don't know if this is forever.

There's a reason
Why we are together now
And we don't care if it's not forever now.

Now is all I think about
Now that I am happy
And I'm not sure
If there will be a future for us.

Now is all I offer
It's everything I got
And I still wish
That there will be a tomorrow for us.

We love each other now...

twiLight

need i say more?
hahaha. well... i asked for a copy of the ebook... planned to read the book before watching the movie..
but when i realize that i will be able to go home early. i invited me to watch it. me already started reading it but not that far enough. and me. i just peek at the beginning of the book.
then we just watched it. hahaha.
the movie started. and. uhmmm... the beginning part is like from the book... uhmm.. don't know exactly coz i totally did not read the whole book. just the first page. ahaha.
then we just enjoyed the movie.
yeah. i really enjoyed it. coz i'm a fan of vampire - human love story (underworld)... hahaha... but this movie is a little different. yeah i may say. :D
i like the fact that when a sunlight is directed to them.. they do not burn... just like typical vampire story... they just....(*spoiler*)
also... the scene that they played baseball... hahaha... i loved it. :D the pitcher is soooo cute... :D hihihihi...
well... the movie is for all... not just for a teeny whinny age group... but for us... also adults... :D hahahaha.. :D
uhmmm... well... not much to blog... coz i dont even read the book so you will not hear any "disappointments/frustrations" from me... hahaha...
one of the pressures if you read the book is that you will compare your imagination to what the director's interpretation is... so if it does not fits you... you are disappointed... well...
we just enjoyed the movie... and yes... for me.. i enjoyed it... :D
will also look forward to the next installment of the "underworld" movie... the rise of the lycans... :D yeah... it is included in one of the movies that are coming soon... so wait for it... i'm sure... gonna love it too... :D

psalms 12

it's been how many days since i blogged about the psalms...

i believe God's word is new every morning.. and even if you read it repeatedly... everyday.. God will give you some insights that you still haven't realize...

so here it is..

psalms 12:1-4

Help Lord, for the godly man ceases!
For the faithful disappear from among the sons of men.
They speak idly everyone with his neighbor;
With flattering lips and a double heart they speak.
May the Lord cut off all the flattering lips,
And the tongue that speak proud things,
Who have said,
"With our tongue we will prevail;
Our lips are our own;
Who is lord over us?"

I was reminded of someone who thinks he is already better than the others... who thinks he is more righteous... that what he said is correct... a proud one... is it because that he stayed in the ministry... can he consider himself holier than the others who left? i dont think so... the others left because God placed them in other places where they can still serve God... with their own will or not... God only knows... and if one day God return them to that place... will he question their motives? will he think that they have their own motives just to go back to that place... it is so sad to think that people who stayed have those mindsets... will there be a revival of that group one day? i don't know... what if the revival should have taken place... should he had not cancel the opportunity to minister... i'm not in the position to judge... lest i dont want to be judged also... but i just write this... to say what my observation is... getting the excuse that "you should have known the real story".. but i believe... i already had the grasp of it... "you should have been here"... why should i?... and questioning why in the world that all of a sudden that i went there... had a free time.. you should have also known the real story behind that... and not accuse me of anything... well.. i believe... everything happens for a reason... for good or for bad? we cannot tell... only God knows... if you think you obeyed God... do you think you are more righteous now than the others? if you disobeyed him... will he punish you with your life? i dont think so... God gives and takes away life... He has His own reason... there are times that when you obeyed... that is the time that he takes away... does that mean... you are disobedient that's why he took it away... i dont think so... should the activity pushed through and nothing bad happened.. what will happen to you... it will just prove that the speaking of "God" to you is not right... havent you notice that out of nowhere... God provides worker who will help in that activity... that people are willing to go even if they are outside the country... isnt it so much of a revelation that God is saying yes.... go to this activity... even if there are bad people outside... will it give him much glory if we can testify that even if there are bad people... the activity is still successful... by God's grace... well.. damaged has been done... the hopes of some of the people who badly needed this activity were crushed... still using the name of the group... so sad...

i said my piece...

obama

barrack obama

- 44th president and the first african - american to win the US Elections

congrats. :D

change

people do change.... for good or for bad? we cannot tell... and to where you are standing right now... do you have any regrets.... that you left that place? i dont know... you missed that but is there anything that you can still do to make there? to be there? to give any help? well... i still don't know... only God knows where He will put you... make the most of where you are right now... you cannot turn back time... make the most of what you have.... all for His glory... "sayang"... many people do say that... you can only say that if you are not happy with what you are doing right now... so yeah... i'm happy with what i am doing right now.... does that mean... you may not be able to serve God if you are not on that place... you can.. wherever you are.... only God knows what's inside your heart...

hayzzzzz

*sigh*

arggghhhh...

dahiL isa akong pasaway... hayan.... nagdurusa sa aking nagawang pagpapabaya...

Paano Na Kaya
by Bugoy

Wooohhhh...

Paano nga ba napasukan ang gusot na ito
'Di naman akalaing magbabago ang pagtingin sa 'yo ohh wooh
Mula nang makilala ka, umikot ang mundo ko
'Di na kayang ilihim at itago ang nararamdamang ito wooh...

Paano na kaya, 'di sinasadya
'Di kayang magtapat ang puso ko
Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko ikaw pa
Paano na kaya 'di sinasadya
Ba't nahihiya ang puso ko
Hirap nang umibig sa isang kaibigan
'Di masabi ang nararamdaman
Paano na kaya

Kung malaman ang damdamin at 'di mo tanggapin
'Di ko yata matitiis mawala ka
Kahit 'sang saglit man lang...wooohhhh....

Paano na kaya 'di sinasadya
'Di kayang magtapat ang puso ko
Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko ikaw pa
Paano na kaya, 'di sinasadya
Ba't nahihiya ang puso ko
Hirap nang umibig sa isang kaibigang
'di masabi ang nararamdaman
Paano na kaya

At kung magkataong ito'y malaman mo
Sana naman tanggapin mo ohh woohh

Bakit sa dinami-rami ng kaibigan ko ikaw pa
Paano na kaya' di sinasadya
Ba't nahihiya ang puso ko
Hirap nang umibig sa isang kaibigang
At baka hindi maintindihan
Paano na kaya

pinsan ko.

waLang magawa... i post ko na lang mga gawa ng pinsan ko... har har har.. :D

proud ako... hehehehe.. :D

Nag-aabang ng masasakyan, patungo kung saan,
di ko malaman

Sa aking dyipning sinasakyan,
mayroong natanaw na mama
Sa dinami-rami ng nagdaraan, ikaw pa ang nakita,
ikaw pa ang nakita
May kasamang dalaga, (may kasamang dalaga)

Para, mama dito na lang, bababa na ako
Para, mama dito na lang, heto ang bayad ko
Para na sabi, para na sabi, para mama
Para na diyan sa tabi!

Limang dipang taong nagtutulakan,
ang dinaanan ko sa paghabol sa iyo
Tinatanaw ang pagakay mo
sa babaeng pinagseselosan ko

Sa pagmamadali nadapa ako,
sa bangketang kinatatayuan nyo
Lumapit ka't tinulungan ako,
at kita'y tinitigan
mga mata'y nagkabanggaan
Ano ba itong naramdaman?

Sorry, mama pasensiya ka na, akala ko'y asawa kita
Sorry, mama pasensiya ka na, sorry't naabala ka pa
Sorry na sabi, sorry mama, sorry't napagkamalan ka

Limang dipang taong nagtutulakan
sa Abenidang aking kinatatayuan
nagaabang ng masasakyan
patungo kung saan, 'di ko malaman

Limang dipang taong naguunahan
sa unting sasakyang nagdaraan
sayang ang dyipning kanina'y lulan
at ngayo'y nagsisisi, sa aking pagbubusisi

malaking pagkakamali

Para, mama sasakay po, limang dipang taong nagtutulakan
Para, mama sasakay po, limang dipang taong nag-uunahan
Para na sabi, para mama, para na diyan sa tabi.

Para na sabi, Para na sabi, Para na diyan sa tabi

Para na sabi para na sabi para na diyan sa tabi!

song number 9

I will praise You, O LORD,
with my whole heart;
I will tell of all Your
marvelous works.

I will be glad and rejoce in
You;
I will sing praise to Your
name, O Most High.
- psalms 9:1, 2

i had a break from my work and from the everyday puyat, inom and lakwatsa.
went to the province. helped out promoting a youth camp. talked to some pastors. listened to their testimonies on how the Lord was able to provide their needs. was able to build a camp site. and how God had blessed them with new leaders. and seeing through their genuine eyes, how amazing our God is. they do not have financial concerns.. errr.. they do not worry about it... they just believe that God will provide... every now and then... they will tell you that this one and that one, they are provided by God....

looking at their perspective... how good it is to see people. without stable jobs, without a high paying salary to not worry about their financial concerns... yeah there is a fact that we all have financial concerns... but they will differ on how we approach them... for us in the metro... we need to have our own way... to sell this, take a loan, borrow some money, etc... but for them... they just trust God. and yeah... they believe that God will provide for their needs and yeah, God does.

how about us? if our job was taken from us, if we do not have a high paying salary, what will be our way? do we take our own way or God's way...

i still believe that it is not mere accident that i went there. i believe God wants me to go there to learn something.. to learn how to trust Him... trust God more...

by reading through this chapter. when you look at verse 18, it says:

For the needy shall not
always be forgotten;
The expectation of the poor
shall not perish forever.
- psalms 9:18

from now on, i will memorize this verse, i will share this to people that thinks that their needs are forgotten by God this is a promise from Him that we can hold to. God keeps His promises.

have a blessed day. :D

i'm back

i'm back yaya...
hehehehe....
i returned to civiLization...
but my stay there was worth it...
i had my rest...
i'm back. :D

psalms 8

psalms 8:4 - "what is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him?"

it continued with that we are created a little lower than the angels and has crowned him with glory and honor... that we are made to have dominion over God's creation...

true. we are special in the eyes of God.

when we think that our life is worth nothing and we dont have a value in this world. revisit this verse and you will realize that you are special... God is mindful of you... and that we are created just a little lower than the angels.. and that we are above any of his creation... it also says that we have dominion over them....

just think about it. :D

psalms 7

my 7th entry of the book of psalms.

"My defense is of God, which saveth the upright in heart." - psalms 7:10

"I will praise the Lord according to his righteousness: and will sing praise to the name of the Lord most high" - psalms 7:17

there are time when we think that all of the people that surrounds us conspire against us. when we think that we have no one to turn to. me against the world. when nothing seems right.. when all our decisions have conflict with others... when those decisions, seems right at first but then, nobody agrees with us... and so... wala tayong kakampi... :(

in this chapter, the psalmist declare that his defense is God, he has someone who is above all that he can turn to. he believes that whoever his enemies are, God is with him, no matter what.. and at the end of the chapter... he praised God. praised Him for what he hath done to the psalmist. :D

lessons:
1. God is with us no matter what.
2. always praise Him.

okies. :D

psalms 6

psalms 6:2 - have mercy upon me, O Lord; for I am weak: O Lord, heal me; for my bones are vexed.

nosebleed ako. an lalim nung english.. hehehehe... so for another look. i browsed my new king james version. (O Lord heal me for my bones are troubled.)

and looking at my new king james bible, the title of this song's chapter is "A prayer of faith in time of distress"

then also read, To the Chief Musician . With stringed instruments. On an eight stringed harp. A psalm of david.

- meaning when david sang this psalm, he is playing with a harp and he is troubled.

how many times do we feel weak? how many times we think that we cannot do anything because we are powerless? we cannot... and so we are down. we have no strength.

i too felt this a few weeks ago. i felt that i cannot do anything on my situation. i have financial concerns and i tried to do a solution on my own. i tried to look for another job. tried to sell my stocks. to withdraw my savings from the company.

but then, God's way is different. He reminds me that "Hey kid, I will provide, I will not leave you, will not forsake you. ;)".

and so, my financial concerns were answered and that I believed that God will be there for me in the coming months. He will provide me all the things that I need.

as to answer the prayer of David, read verse 9 which says "The Lord hath heard my supplication; the Lord will receive my prayer".

Lessons learned.
1. when we feel we are weak, there is a God whom we can turn to.
2. we pray
3. believe that God will heal us, will answer all our prayers.

Thank you Lord for this wonderful psalm written by David, the man close to your heart. :D

-- PJ

fifth

a yeah... the psalm again... ok [deadma]...

hehehe.. if you came across to a passage in the bible... would you say?

1. ... ah... yeah... that again... nah... i'll look for another blog...
2. ok. bible again.
3. so religious...
4. hahahaha...
5. sus...
6. hindi bagay...
7. duh!? haller? are you drugs?
8. sabog ka ba?
9. nakainom ka noh?
10. ok ka lang?

ok. still... as long as i can. i will write about this... when will i stop blogging this book of psalms? i dont know.. kapag tinamad na? kapag pagod na? or kapag busy na sa kung anu anong bagay...

so habang hindi pa... here's another entry...

"give ear to my words, o LORD; consider my meditations." - psalms 5:1

for this chapter... this is the thing that strikes me the most...

when we pray, do we believe that God is really hearing our prayers? do we say... can God still hear me? eh ang dami dami namin nangyayari...

naririnig nya kaya ako? oks lang ba makipagusap sa kanya? will he consider my meditations?

well... according to the scriptures... this psalm/song is about a person, asking God... communicating with God... to hear his prayers...

i remembered one person said... "ni hindi ko nga alam kung pano makipag usap sa kanya... kaya hindi ako nagdadasal..."

for me, to pray is to converse with God... to communicate with Him... to fellowship with Him... how can we know the message of God? by reading His words. :D

yeah.. this is my personal prayer
- give ears to my words o LORD; consider my meditations. :D

psalm 4

"but know that the Lord hath set apart him that is godly for himself: the LORD will hear when i call unto him." - psalms 4:3

yesterdays sermon is to live an uncommon life... uncommon... meaning to live a holy life...

it is uncommon, because in leviticus, there is an instructions to the israelites for them to distinguish what is holy and common, what is clean and unclean... so therefore... the opposite of common is holy... :D

being holy is also instructed by God. for He is holy... what is holy?

mistakenly... people think of holy as being someone who is wearing a white dress or something... but the truth is... being holy is to be set apart... not living the life like what the common people does...

it is a challenge for us... to live an uncommon life.. to be holy...

another thing with the verse is that... God will hear us when we call unto Him..
He hears our prayers... :D

3rd of psalms

v5 - I laid me down and slept; I awaked; for the LORD sustained me.

time to sleep. time to take a rest. for tomorrow is another day. another new challenges and another time to work. :D

for after we slept. God will renew our strengths for us to survive a new day...

goodbye... good night...

sunday

funny how things went on for today...

as usual... busy weekend for me... it already appears to me that doing and loving photography will make you sacrifice some things... like time for your family and stuff....

saturday.. we had aperturista GA at lamesa ecopark... then i had a prenup photoshoot with kuya juville and ate jen.. then after that. rest at home... then attended a party with my friends...

went home around 3.30am... didnt drink that much... pagod na kasi... and yoko abusuhin katawan ko...

woke up today at around 11am... then check the internet... not knowing that i have a photoshoot for today... i decided to go home to bulakan... to see my lola and my cousin who is so ill.

sory guys... nakalimutan ko me shoot today... waLa rin akong received misscaLL or paramdam... na meron paLa photoshoot. :(

here's my pic... basag pa rin....

 

shot was taken whiLe i was on a tricycLe. :D

ok. so i arrived there... then after that... ate some lunch. :D niLagang baka... so ayus.. :D
then went to my cousin's house...

we chatted and we prayed for hi fast heaLing... i also pray that God may give him a peace of mind. because he always worry and cannot sleep... one of the reasons of his slow recovery... hopefully... sana me epekto ang pag eencourage ko sa kanya... to fight and recover faster para sa pamilya nya...

then after... went back to manila... attended the 7pm service..

then ate at market market... binalot... :D then went home...

edit some stock photos from the alchemy shoot. :D
sample pic..

ok... :)

psaLm 2

"...blessed are they that put their trust in him." - psalms 2.12b

yes. this is true.

enough said.

a psaLm a day

yeah. starting today. till i finish this book. (hopefully).

will start to meditate the book of psalms. dont worry. wont be posting the whole verses in the bible.

when i met people. and when they knew that my name is armando psalms. here are some of their reactions..
- ah, the book in the bible? [yep]
- so what's your sister's name? [genesis and mark]
- have you read it? [most of it. but not all]
- do you memorized it? [hello? hahaha. too many verses to memorize. but yeah i do know some of the chapters]
- it's not on you... hindi bagay sa yo yung name... [ok]
- holy ka cguro.... [uh? heLLo?]
- ah, ok. you must be religious... [nope. i'm not]
- and so on... and so on...

yeah. so basically. a bad person i am. kakatapos ko lang uminom. 3 bottles of san mig light. finished by 3.30am. but yeah. i'm still awake 5.04am already. and we have a Aperturista GA today. meeting place is mcdo quezon ave. 7am. oh... what. hahaha.. and still cant sleep.. hahaha... gudlak...

then i went to the CR. and when i'm goin back to my room.. dad gave me a new bible. hahaha. thankful naman ako. king james version. always the version that i love. hindi nasanay sa ibang version ng bible. always this one. eto daw kasi yung isa sa mga unang version. kung baga sa software. version 1.0. or version 2.0..... hehehehe... la lang. so sempre... basahin... ibinigay eh...

isa lang ibig sabihin nun... magbasa daw ako ng bible.... hihihihi...

okies. so yeah... back to our topic. which a psalm a day... so i'll make it to a point to read a chapter in psalms. then the verse that will struck me the most... will be posted and i will give lessons that i learned... bLog ko to... so kung ayaw nyo nung lessons learned ko... gawa kayo ng sariLi nyong bLog... hehehehe..

okies.

so to start. Psalms 1 sempre.. pag binabalak kong magbasa... umpisahan ko sa psalms 1. so yun... eto na naman uLit ako...

here. it says. blessed is the man that walked not in the counsel of the ungodly nor standeth in the way of the sinners, nor sitteth in the seat of the scornful...and so on... and so on...

this is the first chapter... so the psalmist started the book right... with saying that... blessed are those who keep their paths straight.... righteous... not doing what the sinners do....

and the verse that i will discuss is the verse 6. for the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous; but the way of the ungodly shall perish...

righteous... according to mareng meriam at kay pareng webster... and righteous daw ay - acting in accord with divine or moral law : free from guilt or sin

hmmmmm..... at hmm... uLit... nosebLeed ako... well.... ayun sa aking pagkakaintindi... and pagiging righteous is to do the things right in the eyes of God...

reflection: am i doing the right thing? or even if i knew that it is wrong already... i still keep doing it..... tsk1000000x [antz expression].... hahaha..

keLan ba dapat itigiL ang paggawa ng maLi? or keLan dapat ipagpatuLoy ang paggawa ng tama [right] in the eyes of God....

it's my refLection... hope you'll have time to refLect on yourselves too....

i'LL repeat myseLf... i'm not that gooody gooody gooody.... but yeah... i'm not that too bad naman....

so much for that.... Looking forward to another psalm. :D

Lord knows your ways [righteous], the way of the ungodly shall perish....

think about it... ;)

From : Langford’s Advance Photography 7th Edition

Amateur

People often describe themselves as ‘only’ amateurs, as if apologizing for this status. After all,the word amateurish suggests the second rate. However, amateur simply means that you earnyour living doing something else. Do not assume that amateur photography must always beinferior to professional photography. Each requires an attitude of mind which differs in severalways – but is not necessarily ‘better’ or ‘worse’. As an amateur, you may envy the professional, wishing you could combine business with pleasure into a kind of full-time hobby, using professional equipment and facilities. However, the professional knows that much of the hidden advantage of being amateur is the freedom you have to shoot what and when you like. You can develop your own ideas – experiment in approach, subject and technique – without much concern over how long any of this might take. You can be self-indulgent. (Throughout the history of photography many amateurs have been the visual innovators, such as Julia Margaret Cameron, Paul Strand, Ralph Eugene Meatyardand Jacques-Henri Lartigue.) As an amateur, you can work for an exhibition or a competition of your choice – or just for yourself or family. You can also enjoy the equipment and techniques as a refreshing change from your daily work. On the other hand, you lack the pressure of deadlines, the challenge of commissions and commercial competition to keep you on your toes. It is easy to become complacent or set targets too low to be much of a challenge. After all, the world is not bounded by the judge’s view ofphotography at the local camera club. If you want to take your hobby seriously, you should find the time to keep yourself aware of trends by looking at published photographs and visiting galleries. In this way you can widen your knowledge of how different people use photography to express ideas and communicate information.

Professional

A professional photographer must be reliable. He or she also needs financial and organizational skills, just as much as visual and technical expertise, in order to stay in business. People rely on you as a professional to produce some sort of result, always. Failure does not simply mean youreceive no fee – most work is commissioned, so you have let someone down. A client’s moneyinvested in models, props, special locations, etc. is thrown away, a publication deadline may bemissed or an unrepeatable event remains undocumented.You therefore have to ensure – as far as humanly possible – that everything in the chainbetween arriving to shoot and presenting the finished work functions without fail. You need tobe an effective organizer of people, locations, transport, etc., able to make the right choice oftime and day, and, of course, arrive punctually yourself. You must be able to anticipate hold-ups and avoid them. As a last resort, you should know how to act if a job has to be abandoned or re-shot. Pressures of this kind are both a worry and a stimulus – but, of course, they make a successful result all the more worth while. Working professionally also means that you have to produce results at an economical speedand cost. You must think of overheads such as rent and taxes, and equipment depreciation, as wellas direct costs such as photographic materials and fuel. It is seldom possible to linger longingly over a job as if it was a leisure occupation. You also need to know how to charge – how to cost outa commission accurately and balance a reasonable profit margin against client goodwill (will theycome again?), bearing in mind the competition and the current going rate for the job. Equipment is no more or less than a set of tools from which you select the right ‘spanner’for the picture you have in mind. Every item must give the highest quality results but also berugged and reliable – vital gear may need duplicate backup. The cost of fouling up an assignment because of equipment failure can be greater than the photographic equipment itself, so it is a false economy to work with second-rate tools. You must know too when to invest in new technology, such as digital gear, and what is best to buy.

One of the challenges of professional work is to make interesting, imaginative photographs within the limitations of a dull commercial brief. For example, how do you make a strong pictureout of a set of ordinary plastic bowls – to fill an awkward-shaped space on a catalogue page? Eventually, you should be able to refuse the more dead-end work, but at first you will need every commission you can find. In the same way, you must learn how to promote yourself and build up a range of clients who provide you with the right subject opportunities and freedom to demonstrate your ways of seeing, as well as income. Another relatively open way of working is to freelance as a supplier of pictures for stock libraries. Photography is still one of the few occupations in which you can create and make things as a one-person business or department. It suits the individualist – one reason why the great majority of professional photographers are self-employed. There is great personal satisfaction ina job which demands daily use of visual and technical skills.

‘Independent’

Photography does not just divide neatly into amateur and professional categories. After all, it isa medium – of communication, expression, information, even propaganda – and as such can be practised in hundreds of different ways. You can shoot pictures purely to please yourself and developyour style; for example, working for one-person exhibitions, books and sponsored projects, awards and scholarships. It is possible to build up a national or international reputation in this way if your photography is good enough. You can sell pictures through galleries or agents as works of art. To begin with at least most of these so-called ‘independent’ photographers make their living from another occupation such as teaching, writing or some other kind of photographically related full- or part-time job. Independent photography relies on the growing number of galleries, publications and industrial and government sponsors of the arts interested in our medium. In this, photography follows long established patterns in painting, poetry, music, etc. Ifyou are sufficiently motivated, then working for yourself free of commercial pressures can leadto exciting avant-garde results. Some independent photographers work for political or otherideological beliefs. Outlets here include pressure groups, trade unions, charities, arts centres,local community associations, specialist publishing houses and archives. It is one of the greatstrengths of photography that so many of these options are open to be explored.

be stiLL

"Be still, and know that I am God: I will be exalted among the nations, I will be exalted in the earth." Psalms 46:10

lately i've been very busy on work, photography and on finding where to get an ample amount of money for my financial concerns.

sold my this and that, withdrawn something and that... well... basically... doing my own thing.. my way... my own strategy... my own.... mine.. mine.. mine...

but that just leave me to be stressed out... to worry more... to be at the point where in i'm looking for another job... another company with a high paying salary... wether here or abroad... can be content with the amount of money i'm getting now...

but when looking at it... i still can't figure out where will i get this or that... damn... i'm so stupid... i'm powerless... i cannot do anything about it...

then friday comes... there it is... one by one.. i am realizing that truly... God will provide for His children... even though super pasaway akong anak... hehehe.. yeah... truly.. God is amazing...

just this sunday in the church. this is the topic. "uncommon God"... yeah... our God is holy... uncommon.. amazing.. great and yeah.. He is God...

just as the pastor said...

"you are God, i am not..."

how many times do we take charge? how many times do we say to ourselves that. hey. i can do this. i can do that. but in the end. we cannot.... we fail... and right there... we do not... because. still God makes a way... saving us... from shame... from everything...

just want to share.

i'm not that super duper goody goody guy... but hey. i have a relationship with my God. and every now and then. i have this checkpoints. realizations. that yeah. we can do nothing without Him...

just that....

WANTED: mua

I'LL be having a modeL shoot on Sept 20.
I'll be needing a mua[make up artist].

And so it is
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me
Most of the time
And so it is
The shorter story
No love, no glory
No hero in her skies

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes off you
I can't take my eyes...

Did I say that I loathe you?
Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

- damien rice

there’s still a little bit of your taste in my mouth
there’s still a little bit of you laced with my doubt
it’s still a little hard to say what's going on

there’s still a little bit of your ghost your witness
there’s still a little bit of your face i haven't kissed
you step a little closer each day
that I can´t say what´s going on

stones taught me to fly
love, it taught me to lie
life, it taught me to die
so it's not hard to fall
when you float like a cannonball

there’s still a little bit of your song in my ear
there’s still a little bit of your words i long to hear
you step a little closer to me
so close that I can´t see what´s going on

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to lie
life taught me to die
so its not hard to fall
when you float like a cannon..

stones taught me to fly
love taught me to cry
so come on courage, teach me to be shy
'cos its not hard to fall,

and I don't want to scare her
its not hard to fall
and i don't want to lose
its not hard to grow
when you know that you just don't know

hahaha. talo celtics.

talo celtics. buti nga... hahaha...

us deal or no deal in the phil

last night, while looking for a channel to watch in tv. came across to a channel where it shows deal or no deal.

i already watched a deal or no deal episode, but this happen to be a weird one. i wonder who's the lady in red standing beside the host and the contestant doing nothing, just cheering and clapping. c kris aquino pala. :P

then i ask myself, what in the hell kris is doing in this show, is she in the us? impossible. so i kept observing. the audience looks familiar. they look pinoy. then looked at the girls holding the brief case. they are different. morena, long black hair. but one thing is, the money that the host is offering the contestant is in dollars. wah! what's happening?

then i realize, it was a special episode by the show called "deal or no deal - around the world". so they will have episodes to different countries which have this show.

damn, weirdo. hahaha.

nkakatawa c kris. angat na angat yung suot nya. RED na RED ang kulet. at anong gngawa nya dun? wala. pumapalakpak lang. and nagchcheer lang... ang kulet talaga. mukhang syang ewan dun. hehehe.

then nung natapos na, tsaka lang sya sumabat sa usapan. $71,000 yung napanalunan nung contestant. then sabi nya.. "that's 2.9million pesos"... hahaha. yan lang yung narinig kong linya nya.... hahaha... ang kulet talaga.... mukha syang ewan...

la lang... gusto ko lang i-share... hahahaha... hanggang ngayun natatawa ako ke kris... ahihihihi... :D

independent

just a quick blog.

i chatted with a friend and topic went to being independent. yup. i'm all alone in the hotel right now. nobody will cook for me, wash the dishes, clothes, iron it, and clean the room. unlike in the phil where you dont have to do the dirty stuffs. hahaha.

i said, it's hard. but you can get used to it. and somehow, you enjoy life being independent. and no one tells you what to do. no one instructs you to do this or that. but you do it, because you have to.

life being independent is kinda hard, but you'll enjoy it. the freedom.

you'll get homesick. but you'll get used to it.

even for just 2.5 months, i have to enjoy this.

:D

got to go to work. ciao. ;)

i need you

i need you
-sonic flood

You know who I am inside
You know when I lie
You can tell when I'm amazed
You can see my faith
You know when I don't believe
You know when I'm free
You can tell when I need love
You know I'm in need

Love, I need love
You are love
I need You
Love, You are love
I need love
I need You

You know of my deepest fear
You know when I'm scared
You can read my empty page
You can feel my rage
You're aware of when I dream
You see when I bleed
You can tell when I need love
You know I'm in need

I know we need You, Father
Much more than any other
Your love brings us together
We need You, we need You

Love, we need love
You are love
We need You
Love, You are love
We need love
We need You I need You.

You know who I am inside...

bought my first lens (aside from the lens kit) - canon EF 50mm 1.8 II

this morning, went to hidalgo.

i arrived there at 9.30am. whoah. so early. coz the photoshops open at around 10-11am. awts. so tambay lang sa gilid ng SM. at 10 am. went inside sm. tingin tingin lang. then at 10.30am went to the stores. i asked at henry's how much is their 50mm. they told me 3.6kphp. so i look for the other open store which is avenue, they told me 3.8kphp. awts. 200php higher.

so i decided to wait until mayer and watson will open up. tambay ulit sa sm. after several minutes. went back and inquire at watsons. they do not have that kind of lens. awts. so i went to mayer. they told me that it's out of stock. awts.

so i went back to henry's and told them that i will purchase the 3.6kphp lens that they have. they have no stock so they instructed one of their saleslady to go to avenue to get the lens. but she was told that they dont have anymore. awts. the guy from henry's told me. "usually d na nila ibibigay yan, nakapag inquire ka na sa kanila, gusto nila, dun mo kunin."

i have no choice but to purchase the 3.8kphp lens. awts. wah! luge ako ng 200php. hehehe.

so i bought it. went home. do some test shots inside my room.

boi. no regrets purchasing that item. worth it mehn.

i will bring this one on my trip to ilocos to accompany my family in attending a wedding.

that's it for today.

miss na kita lam mo ba yun?

this has been the status of my ym for quite some time.

had some words inside my head.

here it is...

============

i want to be near you.
but you are avoiding me.
trying to take a distance from me.

i do not know what happened.
what cause you to flee.
never giving me a chance to talk to you.
never wanted to see me.

damn.
i miss you already.
and yet you dont want me anymore.

miss all those sweet moments.
those simple chats.
those smiles. your laughter.
the conversations.

i miss you already.

updates - march 30, 2008

well.

last holyweek. spent it at our province at bulacan. there are two events last sunday. one is the graduation of my niece, ezra and the other one is the baptism of my cousin jayjay. just ate at ninong ronnie's hauz. videoke and went back to makati.

for the this week, tried to post process all of my pending photos, the pics from the amc teambuilding, lago de oro, tagaytay and other stuffs included in that event. then pp'ed the photos last sunday. uploaded the graduation of ezra and the pics of the kids at the church and my bro. the pics for jayjay's baptism to be uploaded on monday. :D

practiced volleyball last wednesday. had some exercise. rusty and need more practice for the AVL league. company's volleyball league. well, need to be back in shape. :{

this saturday, had two games. 3pm, we played football at san beda college. AFL. our company's football league. so tiring. hahaha. first half, was able to shot a few but did not went through the goal and the other try was caught by the opponent's goalie. whahahaha... nice try... but our team has a lot of shots. but no goal for that part.

2nd half, there was this time that the ball went outside and i throw it in to mark, he was able to carry it forward on the right side, then pass to the center, then andrew was able to shot our first goal. the 2nd goal went immediately after that. mv was able to breakaway and go one on one with the goalie, then he shot it furiously. hahaha. as in todo taga. bombit. hehehe. well that's the only goals we had. the opponent had some few tries but was not able to score. due to their lack of players and they are already tired because of no subs. :D

we won. 2-0.

after that. took a shower. then we ate at kfc. after that, i went straight to club 650 for our volleyball game for 7pm. ouch. "lagare". hehehehe.

arrived there in time. and was able to do some warm ups.

first set, we lost. due to our errors and lack of coordination and lack of practice and many more. there are many factors. hahaha. gelling of the team also. hehehe. second set. we lost again. hahaha. i think it's due to wrong combination of players inside the court. i want to play in that round coz i believe we can win that round. but i did not voiced it our coz, i'm not the team captain and not in charge of inserting players on the court. and another thing is, sabit lang ako sa team na yun. former project kasi. wah. we lost again. :( third set. i'm in the court. hehehe. but sadly, the players that we had are those who haven't played yet. so third stringer players. but luckily, the match is not that bad. when the opponent had scored a few more points, we substitute our best players. heehehe... but still. due to lack of coordination and errors. we still lost. wahhh! :( hahaha... well. not bad. coz the opponent is pretty good and you can say that they prepared for that game, coz they know their positions and they have plays. me quick set pa nga. d nga lang nakukuha nung quicker yung bola. hehehhe. they have only one setter. so they know who to give the ball to. so that's it. there are points for improvement. and sadly to say. this will be my last game, maoonshore kasi. awww... :((

after that. took a shower. some chitchats with jc, erwin and drew. it's jc's bday so manlilibre sya. unfortunately, d ako pede. coz i will go to landmark para sunduin c me.

then went to landmark. sablay yung gulong ko. awt. flat. i parked at anson's. then went to see me. then we looked for a hardware to buy a manual air pump. we went to parksquare. the hardware was already closed. wah. so we looked for the sports/adventure/hiking shop. we found an air pump. purchased it and off we went to take our dinner.

ate at max, ordered sago't gulaman. botomless. lugi sila sa kin. was able to consume more than five servings i think. hahaha. uhaw na uhaw kasi sobra. was not able to drink ample amount of water during the football and volleyball game. hehehe.

ordered, sinigang na hipon, half spring chicken and 2 rice, one for each of us. me ordered hot calamansi juice coz she still have coughs and colds. :D busog.

then we went back to the parking lot at anson's. wah. flat na flat yung gulong ko. ouch. so i used the air pump that we bought. and was able to increase the air inside my tire. wah then we went to the nearest gas station to check the tire. then went home.

rest a few hours at me's haus. naglatag na sa baba. sa sala. then tulog ako dun. c me sa upuan. then after having enough rest. uwi n ko sa haus. d na ko inantok. eto. nag cocomputer pa rin.

pp'ed the pics. played some dota with ai. surf the multiply. accessed my facebook. and right now. blogging.

so that's it for now.

ciao. :D
