Though the Philippines Independence Day is still one week away, here’s my little tribute to commemorate that fateful day. There’s no deep story behind this photo (like my photos ever had deep meanings/story). I was with Perce and Marq one day and we we’re driving around Ortigas Center and I saw this kid selling Philippine flags along Julio Vargas Street. I thought that it would probably make an interesting photo, provided I get it right and I had to get it right since I had one frame left.

So when he passed by our car, I just took the photo (our car had tinted windows so I’m not sure if he saw me taking his picture). And this is the result of that.

Independence Day

Accompanied my dad once again in their company’s warehouse/bodega. He wanted me to take some photos of there bulldozers and heavy equipments. So here are some snaps of the stuff that’s going on there.

Just some random snaps of Perce, Marq and Mon from our recent weekend roadtrip…well actually these are the only pics that I was able to salvage. I kind of wasted one roll of film because I miscalculated the exposures and stuff. Oh well.

My mom is really into hand-made crafts. As far as my memory and knowledge is concerned, she has been into sewing, knitting, candle making, cross-stitching and right now she’s into bead works. She makes all sorts of accessories like rosaries, bracelets, purses, wallets etc. using all sorts of beads.

For some reason, my brother hates being photographed. When I try to take a photo of him, more often than not, he’ll try to block the lens with his hands. This time, I managed to sneak up on him, while he was fixing his things. I tried to take another frame, but he kind of caught me so I just smiled and I put down my camera. Well, it was an okay attempt. Better luck with sneakiness next time.

Some photos from PAGPIPINTIG: Pag-uugat ng Sarili sa Katutubong Tunog at Galaw. It was an evening workshop jam to celebrate indigenous Filipino music. It was led by Sanghabi, a nonprofit group that for the past 10 years has encouraged Filipinos and non-Filipinos alike to appreciate and learn about the diversity and richness of Filipino culture.

A month’s overdue set of photos. Just some snaps from Red Ninja’s debut production entitled Silverworks’ Silver Rocks @ RJ Bar in Makati. There were a handful of bands who performed that night. Manage to take photos of 3 bands, Maya’s Anklet, Fuzz and The Out Body Special.

First up, Maya’s Anklet.

Some snaps from my recent rolls of Neopan 400 during the holy week (which was two weeks ago). First of some photos from our short trip to Talisay, Batangas.  I was watching these two guys fishing near the shore. I doubt they were able to catch anything worth eating though.

Holy Thursday, we went to this church in Marilao, Bulacan. I think the name of the church is Shrine of the Divine Mercy.

The guy with the camera was shooting with a Leica. Not sure what type though. I wanted to talk to the guy but I was too shy.

One very interesting part of the shrine is the ginormous size diorama like things for the stations of the cross. I managed to get a photo of one.
