Wow?
W-O-W.

Thank you, Lord!

Night photography has always been one of my challenges. So obviously, it is surprising that I was able to get this shot without any help from Photoshop.

Completely frustrated to begin with.
I knew the answer all this time; I was just blinded by idealism.

Note to self: DEAL WITH IT.

One of the many tribal costumes used during festivities here in the Philiippines.

I love the details of "her" costume! She was wearing a black-dyed top adorned with colorful sequins and beads. She also has a headgear, which I failed to capture. I was distracted with her vibrant accessories.

Ahhh..busy, busy week. I never though I'd say this but weekends are lately filled up with activities. Sigh.
I miss a good day's sleep.

Sting. Photo Copyright Universal Music.

I <3 the fact that this particular song has been used, hundreds of times, to movies & TV series.

1983 © Every Breath You Take was also covered by various artists. However, I think that Sting did it best. Nothing like the original.

And did I mention the next video, too?! Covered, again, by sooo many artists; still, nothing compares.

1981 © Every Little Thing She Does is Magic.

 Had fun with our photowalk!

It was tiring. But I have to say the fulfillment of capturing nice images was worth the sweat!!!

The weather was very cooperative: clear skies & sunshine!

We walked to and fro Makati. Second destination was Greenbelt, then....
...down to ...

Guess where I was?!
Here's something to someone who just might be missing his side of the town!

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!

My friend took this photo of the moon. I love the moon!

Lovely Sunday weather, all sunny and bright!

Photoshoot in 1 and a half hours. Can't wait!

Queensland.
To me, this is the best state in Australia. Good times.
