Not sure how Sting managed to stay in the music industry for years... but man! I gotta' give it, hands down & props up, to him. He and his former band (The Police) contributed and influenced pop/rock music sooo much throughout the decades ---- Sooo much, I tell ya', to the point that their music oozes pleasantry. That and the fact that their songs are recognized globally.
And did I mention the next video, too?! Covered, again, by sooo many artists; still, nothing compares.
9 hours,
41 minutes,
40 seconds
It was tiring. But I have to say the fulfillment of capturing nice images was worth the sweat!!!
We walked to and fro Makati. Second destination was Greenbelt, then....
...down to ...
Guess where I was?!
You can thank me later. Haha!
We had our share of adventures and MISadventures, my friends & I.
MISadventures starting with THREE encounters of security guards asking us for permits. Yes, this is a country wherein every photo shoot requires permit --- may it be a park, a garden or a public street/ avenue. (I remember I used to take photos from another country, and no one would actually care if I photo-shoot in every corner of the place.)
Oh well, we were glad and thankful there wasn't any use of violence nor harsh words. Kudos to Makati security guards for being polite sans our "mischief" of not having permits. We'll try to secure one next time!!! :-)
Then, there are the adventures --- photo shoot in the middle of a busy street (we have to make sure stop sign is flashing --- before we run back to the middle of the street to take pictures!), had our "tagged-along" friend serve as an instant model, saw Brazilian male models having coffee (sight to behold!), and a father-daughter tandem who allowed us to take pictures of them.
During our photo walk, we also met a Russian guy named "Alexi". He works in Manila and has been staying a little over a month. A friendly guy, that Russian. My friends and I invited him to join us should he decided to buy his own digital SLR. We kid around to teach each other's language, since their language interests me and vice-versa.
It was fun meeting people during photo walks. It was fun to experience new things!
I miss the warmth of the sun. For couple of weeks now, storms like to ruin weekends.
Basic photography, so far, is fun. The environment provided by FPPF is great: I'm surrounded by fellow photo enthusiasts... not to mention cool professors! :-)

Kirsten Dunst sang "Dream of Me" in a movie I haven't even heard of. The film was Get Over It, thanks to youtube.com, I found out that Dunst can sing. Not that good, but good enough to invite me to bed and dream of pleasant things.

Here's the studio version, which is much better.
Off to sleep. I need to wake up in a few hours.
I need to be sleeping now since I have to wake up early later. I plan to go to work at least three hours earlier to work on a project due Friday. A lot of catching up to do... but considering how I slacked off watching a chick-flick known as "Sex and the City", I burnt two hours off my production time for the weekend.
So the "early bird" plan is not happening anymore.
To compensate for my slacking off, I decided to do self-portrait --- which I haven't done for quite a while. :-) Originally, I planned posting some of my shots from my previous assignment in photography class; but when I saw the tripod, my baby Quiane and my newly purchased dress/ top, I opted for the latter.
*drumroll please* Fellas, bear with my self-documentation sort of images. I intend to look back at these photos couple weeks, months or years from now. It all depends on whether I'm in a self-appreciation or self-criticizing mood. :-)
