As I finish counting down to the new year and celebrate with my family eating food and drinking wine in the middle of the night, I realize, it’s another year. Another year to continue existing, another year to witness the good and the evil of mankind, another year to try to become a better person. Back in 2006, an asshole hillbilly was put into office by the United States. Since then, this stupid hick has singlehandedly crashed the US...

What started out as small talk between two Photography Club presidents here in Cebu is turning out to become one of the most anticipated photo walks of the year. IPC President Brian Gerona told me that they were getting inquiries from photographers from Manila wanting to join the event. Of course, everyone’s welcome. There are no fees, no registration, no discrimination. The goal here is to get all photo enthusiasts together and interpret...

On April 30, a bunch of the hardcore peeps from our photo club (IPC) took a trip to Visca, Baybay, Leyte. Although the weather wasn’t on our side for most of the days we were there, we did however got some interesting macro, landscape and sunset shots. For my macro, I have no idea what the names of any of the insects I took so I just made names up. For our landscapes, I’m not familiar with the names of any of the places we went to...

The OtakuFest is a an annual cosplay event held at the UP Cebu Grounds in Lahug, Cebu City. It’s a gathering of cosplayers who strut their costumes and strengthen their bond with other cosplayers. There are contests, bands, and a few skits. It’s a little bit like the Comic Con in Las Vegas except it’s a bit scaled down. A lot of photographers are drawn to these events because of the elaborate costumes  and the fun people....

This was a photo session organized by renowned photographer and artist, [Dexter Bongo] in behalf of IPC. This session was more of a lesson than a shoot. We learned how to manipulate light through Dexter’s eyes and capture compelling shots for our individual portfolios. The things we learned were priceless. Anyway, here are the shots: [View with PicLens] ...

I apologize for my recent laziness. I haven’t been able to mind my blog lately. Anyway, since I haven’t been up to date with the tech world, I’ll share what I’ve been up to. Rod Evan Incorporado, a photographer and also a good friend of mine, organizes these photo sessions with his models. I’ll be sharing the latest shoot we did in Fort San Pedro, Cebu City. Hope you enjoy. For this shoot, I decided to do something...

Our Trip to General Santos City was a blast. I was able to meet great people, take great shots, and have the most relaxing time of my life. We flew in from Cebu City to Davao on Cebu Pacific. Then From Davao, we took a road trip to General Santos with my uncle. We were housed at the [Sarangani Highlands]. We visited Glan, South Cotabato, and the Sarangani Province. All in all, it was a trip to remember. Here are all the shots I...

As I’ve stated in my previous post, I’m concentrating more on my Photography now than Tech. Although I still continue to develop websites for clients and friends, I’m more into my camera than my computer during my free time. Anyway, I spotted an article in one of the forums I’m active in (Istorya.net) which I think is a great guide for any photographer who wants to go into weddings. I think I’m one of those...

I haven’t been able to post here lately, mainly because I have involuntarily become a very busy bee. I haven’t been up to date on the tech world, which is usually what I’m on top of most of the time. I have been continuing my work on current clients which I think is going great except for a few minor issues. Finally, I’ve been focusing more on my photography, which I think is not world class…yet. I apologize for not...

Either this person is bored out of his mind, which I think I am today, or just plain naive, retarded, and a major idiot. He writes a beautifully composed email to a Twitter spammer that will bring you to tears if you read it. If you’re a Twitterer, or Twit or Twittist or whatever the term is, you’ll understand that there are a lot of spammers out there with Twitter accounts. The fastest way to tell, is the number of followers they...

Well. I don’t have anything for anyone today. Tech news is boring. Gaming is boring. My whole life is boring. And I’m busy as hell. I realize the lot of you have to ride to work. So I’m leaving you with this post. Always remember, when life takes its toll on you, you look up to the heavens and ask, “Why God? Why?” , and you don’t receive an answer. It only means one of two things: There is no God. He hates...

I haven’t been up to much lately. I have nothing to post here because I’m just too damn bored and lazy. Quick recap of events since I’ve been gone. I went to Bantayan Island with a friend and got into a motorcycle accident. No broken bones. Just a few scratches and bruises, Thank the gods. Also, last week, iPhone 4 was announced at WWDC 2010. I don’t care much about it, but most of you techie fans do. So I guess that...
