Ewan

Alas singko na ng umaga di parin ako makatulog… ewan ko nga ba.. andami ko pang mga kuhang dapat iayos at ilagay sa multiply, pero kaninang ala-sais ng hapon pa ko nagaayos ng mga litrato.. teka mukhang di na maganda yung nagiging resulta ng inaayos ko… dapat itigil ko na to.. pinatay ko na ang kompyuter at humiga..e di parin ako makatulog..hayyy.

hiskul ako nung una akong nahumaling sa photography. noon film pa ang gamit ko. pero mukhang mailap sakin ang mga films. laging sablay kung baga. kung hindi underexposed yung mga kuha ko, di naman kinaan ng ngipin ng camera ung film na nilagay ko. ewan!! first year college nung may kaunaunahang film na pumatok sakin - kodak! lahat yata ng kunan ko nun pwede mong ipanglaban sa mga contest at tiyak na pang grand prize ang mga iyon. pero wala pang isang taon, ewan ko ba ha, at bigla nalang akong nagpalit at iniwan ang pinakamamahal kong kodak. sunod na gamit ko - agfa. Biglaan lang ang paglipat ko sa agfa. Ewan. di ko maipaliwanag. Pero kahit biglaan, napamahal agad ako sa brand na ito. Mas naging gamay ko ang lahat ng klase ng gusto kong exposures sa brand na to. Di ko sya makompra sa kodak. Basta. Kakaiba. Pero paglipas ng ilang taon, nbaliktad lahat. Parang pakiramdam ko iniwan ako sa ere ng agfa. Ang kaisaisang uri ng agfa film na gamit ko biglang na-phase out. Ewan ko ba! Karma ba to?? Ewan.

e syempre digital age na..kaya sabi ko magpapahinga muna ko sa paggamit ng film, kaya sabay sa uso muna ko - digital na kamera. pero di siya ganun kadali para sakin. Hinahanap-hanap ko parin ang film. kulang nalang umiyak ako gabi gabi. o di kaya naman nakatulala lang ako palagi. ang drama ba? ganun talga walang pakialamanan. matagal-tagal din bago ko nakalimutan ng bahagya ang pagfifilm. ano nga bang choice ko? wala naman na kong magagawa. kaya sabi ko ieenjoy ko nalang yung paggamit ko ng digital camera. saglit lang parang gamay na gamay ko na sha. pero di parin nawawala ang pagnanasa ko sa paggamit ng film. ewan.

lagpas 2 taon na kong gumagamit ng digital. masaya. halos lahat ng gusto kong gawin nagagawa ko. laht ng gusto kong kuhanan nakukuhanan ko. di ko kelangan ng film. tira lang ng tira. pag mali, bura. pag ubos na ang sdcard, format lang at pede na uling kumuha. nageenjoy na ko dito.

pero nakakasawa ding magdigital. minsan parang gusto ko ngang magbalik film. anong brand naman kaya? ayaw ko na ng kodak! ayaw ko na din ng agfa!pero habang wala pa..lulubusin ko muna at patuloy na ieenjoy ang paggamit ng digital na kamera..

ilang buwan na rin ang nakakalipas, mukhang may banta nang muli kong paglipat sa film. ang brand? fuji. madaming nagrerecommend sakin na gamitin to. wala nga lang masyadong mga reviews na makikita sa kung saan man. kahit sa net. o mali lang ang hinahanapan ko? Ewan! isa pa, wala akong makitang nagbebenta nito. pero gusto ko siyang subukan. halos araw araw naghahanap ako ng nagtitinda ng fuji film na to. sa hidalgo, sa mall, sa grinhills, at kung saan saan pa.

pero lahat tlaga nakukuha sa tyaga. isang araw nkakita ako ng nagbebenta ng fuji. sila nalang ang supplier nito. nasa cebu ang tindahan nila pero willing ako magpunta dun basta anjan na ang stocks at ipipick-up ko na ang pinakaaasam kong film. pero sabi sakin out of stock daw. huwatt?? kinuha ko yung contact number ng tindera para mafollow up ko sya at pag may dumating na stock makakuha ako agad at di ako maubusan.

Halos araw araw kinokontak ko yung tindera. sabi lang sakin - malapit na. malakas ang kutob ko na para sakin talga tong film na to. salamat naman kay ate at lagi naman nya kong inuupdate sa status ng aking order. pero malinaw ang sabi nya: ‘bawal ang reservations. first come first served.’ pero confident ako. makakakuha ako. kaw ba naman maupdate ni ate halos araw-araw e. pag naubusan pa naman ako nyan ewan ko nalang..e ang tiket ko pacebu? ok na. may kakilala akong may jetsetter na tiket kaya kahit anong oras ready to go ako. excited na ko!!

pero kung lahat nakukuha sa tyaga, mukhang may araw tlaga na malas ka. nito lang nakaraang linggo di na nagrereply si ate sa mga text ko. aba ate. baka ubos na ung film ha. kawawa naman ako. nakahanda na lahat. film nalang agn kulang. malinis na yung kamera ko. nagprapraktis na rin ako sa kunwari e pagkuha ng mga litrato. nagreview na rin ako ng mga basic concepts sa film photography. ganun ako kahibang. at pansamantala ko narin palang tinago muna yung digital ko na kamera bilang paghahanda sa muli kong pagbabalik sa film. pero kinulit ko parin si ate. maya-maya. araw-araw. oras-oras. sigu-sigundo. pagkatapos makaubos ng halos 500 na load, nagreply c ate. ’sino to? wat can i do for you?’ ay sows ate. ako ito. haler?? mukha yatang parang nalimutan ako ni ate. o baka busy lang. baka naman kinalimutan tlaga ako?? o pede ding confused sa dami ng ginagawa sa shop nila. o baka naman anjan na yung fuji ko? baka busy na sha sa pagbebenta sa ibang customers samantalang ako nandito pa sa manila??

paglipas ng ilang oras ng pagpapaalala kung sino ako, mukhang naaalala na ko ni ate. pero may iba e. parang nagiba yung tono ng boses nya. iba na rin ang dating. ibang iba nung dati ko shang tinatanong na parang text mates kami. baka ubos na ung film? wag naman po sana. wag ganun.

sa pagtatapos ng paguusap namin ni ate sinabi nya na kelangan kong pmunta ng cebu. ‘ate sigurado bang may maaabutan pa ko nyan?’ di na sha nagreply. hala. kamusta naman yun. basta kelangan kong pumunta. makikipagsapalaran na lang ako. e pano kung ubos na?? kasalan ko lahat to e. masyado akong naexcite sa balita ng pagdating ng fuji. masyado yata akong nabulag sa pagbabalik film ko. masyado kong kinundisyon yung sarili ko. plinano ko na lahat ng kukunan kong mga sceneries, events at kung ano-ano pa, gamit ang fuji film ko. hayy…

kelangan kong ituloy to. ppnta ko ng cebu kahit alam kong 99% e wala na kong fujing aabutan dun. may 1% pa. 1%. pwede na yun. pinabook ko na agad ang pinakamaagang available na flight at maya mayang onti lilipad na ko pacebu. kinakabahan ako. para akong uminom ng 10 grande na mocha frappe sa lakas ng kabog ng dibdib ko. kaya ko to. iniisip ko nalang na pag wala na kong abutang film, may digital cam pa ko. di ako iiwan ng digital camera ko. pero kaya ko ba to? kaya ko bang tanggapin? parang di ko kaya. gusto kong tumigil nalang yung mundo ko. ewan!

maya-maya pa, oras na ng alis ko. di na ko naghanda. 2 minutong ligo tpos sipilyo. bihis. batsi na. pagdating sa naia, derecho check-in agad. makalipas ang limang minuto boarding na. umupo na ko sa window seat na lagi kong nirerequest.

di ako mapakali. masakit na ulo ko. masama na pakiramdam ko. para ako nagugutom, naeebs, sumasakit ang ngipin, kumikirot ang ulo, sinisipon, kinakabag, nasusuka, at nangangalay ang 2 paa - ng sabay sabay. san ka pa? pero pipikit ako. magdadasal ako. Lord bahala ka na.

mayamaya pa may tumapik na sa balikat ko. sabay may bumulong sa kanang tenga ko: ‘Kuya. Kuya.’ Nkatulog pala ko. Buti naman at nakapahinga ako kahit saglit. sandali kong nakalimutan ang tungkol sa film na yan. Mirakulo yata un. E walang saglit na di ko inisip yung fuji na yun. Himala.

Kaya agad kong minulat ang mata ko.

teka.

pumikit ulit ako. kinusot ko ng onti yung mata ko. di to tama.

‘Kuya gising na alas 12 na. tanghalian na. haba na ng tulog mo. galit na si mama’, sabay tapik ulit ng kapatid ko sa balikat ko.

Ha?!! Ewan.

Quotes! Quotes! - Manny Pacquiao

Too often, the thing you want most is the one thing you can’t have. Desire leaves us heartbroken, it wears us out. Desire can wreck your life. But as tough as wanting something can be. The people who suffer the most, are those who don’t know what they want.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                –Meredith Grey

Something to call my own …

after working for more than 2 years now, i finally have something to call my own - a studio type condo unit.  Its located in the heart of the metro… kalentong (mandaluyong) .w00t!! Well its just a medium-rise condominium… not so engrande like the ones that youd find in makati or global city. But still… its a condo. daba?

at first i was very hesitant to get the unit. I wasnt sure then because i thought its not worth it.bastard me. Actually, the  unit was only offered to JRU employees (then) because the developers thought na maybe hindi ito mag-click sa public. So my mom and my cousin, who also works there, got 1 unit each. Months later, my cousin decided to back out because I think he and his wife thought that the place is too small for them (a lot of thinking eh?). My mom told me to get it. And so I did… and the rest was history.

 
O picture muna…

 
It was really a good deal since I didnt have to pay for any downpayment. Binayaran ko lang yung same amount na nabayaran na ng cousin ko and just continued paying more or less P3000 monthly for the i-forgot-the-fking-term payment. Then i have to pay for some processing fees and other whatever-we-thought-of fees… and voila… ready for occupancy na sha. Yun lang.. that made me broke… i mean really broke with a capital BROKE. I think its worth it though. I just have to start saving all over again. (I just started saving 2-3 months ago..haha). And before i forget, ive heard that the value of the same units nowadays cost 100% more.o diba?

as of the moment, me thinks of making it a fully-furnished apartment. Kahit basic lang ang laman like tv,ref, stove at sala set. pangpataas ng value. hehe. Pero since wala pa kong pera, as ive mentioned why, e bare apartment for rent nalang siguro. siguro. gusto ko na nga sanang tirahan e… pero i still cant afford to live on my own. not that i couldnt live independently - who doesnt want independence? - di ko lang talaga kaya pa financially. saka na siguro pag may ibabahay na.bwahaha.

so un na muna for now… pics muna ulit..

Wedding Photography

My first take on wedding photography.

PPing

Damn i wish i have all the time to edit my pics. Natambakan na ko ng gawain. I wish i have a macbook or something..wala lang..my abnormal pc at home couldnt handle the pressure anymore..haha masyadong busy din sa work ngayon so weekends lang talaga ako nakakaedit..e naging sobrang busy naman ako this last weekend..I attended Rissa's wedding (congrats ate!) last saturday, syempre feeling photog ako dun..was able to get home at around 11pm, lintik na trapik yan..hassle magdrive!! Woke up at 2am para sa elbi shoot with podtographers, syempre drayber na naman…went back to manila at around 3pm then went straight to makati para sa band practice for the christmas party then punta naman sa galleria with some officemates..went home at around 11pm..san ka pa?

Anyweis just to give you an idea, heres the list of to-be-pped-photos:

• podtographer's studio shoot: 551
• rissa's wedding: 833
• uplb shoot:  427
• rewss' christmas party: 476

Do the math men!! syempre di naman lahat yan ieedit ko. i need to do some filtering. Cguro from that mga 25% lang ang mapipili ko..G-damn! Why am i so trigger-happy?Oh well.

Thats it. will be posting the pics soon..

Photos Photos

Haven't updated this page for quite some time now. Sobrang busy sa work at sa pagpipicture. For now, gawin ko nalang munang photo blog ire…

Last weekend, napadaan ako sa megamall and I remembered na may ongoing carshow pala sa megatrade hall. Good thing dala ko ang cammy ko..paid 20 bucks for the entrance and voila - instant photoshoot.

You can also check my multiply account for more pics.

Day1 Seminar: Basic Theories and Principles of Photography

The ever energetic and bubbly Mr Jo asked as to take a picture of a coke bottle as our first assignment which is due today. Syempre you should make it appealing like its not a coke bottle. Too tired and so so used up last night, heres what i came up with : 

"Cokatola"

I know its not that appealing. Wala na kasi akong time to conceptualize, so ayun… oo na excuses!! 

CCs and comments are much appreciated.

GTG..late na pla ko…

pics! pics!

almost a month ago, ive decided to buy my 10th wish in my wanted list..tadan…

…a nikon d40 kit…yahooo!!

but sad to say, i have to sell my ipod to be able to raise the needed money for this new baby of mine..it wasnt that sad though because my sister bought it..and for added justification, im plannig to buy an ipod touch or an 80-gig classic..haha..excuses…

u see photography isnt new to me. when i was in high school,  i was the school's official photographer or say photojournalist (para mas sozzy) for 3 years..and shempre since ako yung photjournalist ako ung sumasali sa mga contests. I was able to win the second place on my first year and bagged the first place on my 2nd and 3rd year - this was on the division level lang. The regional level, NCR, is a different story. I was able to participate but never had the chance to win. Pero ok narin. There was one time pa nga na  nadisqualified ako because the film - yes di pa uso ang digicams and dslrs nun - that they gave me was already defective. Screw that unbranded film! 3 for 100 lang yata un e.. Pero di naman nasayang ung moment na yun dahil on the last day of the event, may nasunog na building just beside the venue. So my adviser, Miss Jeciel, asked mo to go there and take pics. Haha. After that, she told me that were going to submit those pics to people's journal (tabloid tlaga e no,,si mam jeciel talaga oh…gusto p nga nya yata nun sa abante pa ipasa e..buti wala pang t*kt*k nun..). Sowwwz! Cguro mga 3am na din kmi nakauwi nun…

6 years later, eto hahawak na naman ako ng lente. Iam attending a seminar next week, starting on nov 6 upto the 20th. "Basic Photography" by Mr Jo Avila. Basic? Yes u heard me right. 5 Reasons: (1) Because its been a while since i last held an slr cam in my hand; (2) Because back then i dont really understand the gist of these photog jargons - though ngayon may alam na rin ako kahit papano based sa mga readings that ive found on the net and sa mga forums na rin as well…Ano nga ba ulit ung aperture? haha.(3) Because im tired of going to the gym after work; (4) Because i believe na magiging chick magnet ako after the seminar [wala na kasi akong maisip na rason e..] and (5) Simply beacuse i can.haha.

Hopefully id be able to post my learnings here and pati yung mga outputs ko..Till next time..Ciao!

Status

Its lunchtime. Im done eating my free lunch (i included the word 'free' intentionally) and playing foosball. Im also not in the mood to play bomberman or mariokart today. Hayyy. Ive decided to just and browse some blog pages para maiba naman. Its been a while since my last blog happing galore. Oh i miss those NEC days. And just now im in the mood to blog. yeah boy!

"Mahal na kita! Grrrr!!"

Thats my ym status message for three days now. So what? Whats the big deal? Well… well… well 15 of my friends PMed me and reacted wildly.Hehe.

uyyy, sino? share naman jan.

Si **** yan no?

bru may di ka shinashare samin ha…

sa wakas! Congrats!!!

Sooowwwwzzzz! For the record, Im not yet in love. yet. haha. Just wondering if it'd spark a conversation and I should say that the scheme worked well. I did the same thing about a week ago with the status: "Your way too beautiful girl that's why it'll never work..". Sad to say only 2 replied. Whats up for next week??Hmmm….

Changing my status message to "Mahal na talaga kita! Grr!! At isa pang GRRR!!!". Lets see if it still works…

Blog drought

Wala lang. Cant find the time to update this page. Sobrang busy ngayon. Kahit blog hopping di ko na din nagagawa.

Busog!

At around 4 PM, in time for the afternoon break, my officemates invited me  to go with them for a quick bite at Salt and Pepper Cafe. I said yes since nagkrukrugkrug na rin ang aking stomach. They were actually amazed because for the first time (daw) sumama ako at di kami lagi puro NEC. Well they are always teasing us kapag nagsasama-sama kaming mga taga NEC dito. "NEC Rewss branch," yan ang lagi nilang hirit. I cant blame them - 9 na kming ex-NEC dudes dito.

Anyway,  pag dating sa cafe mejo undecided ako kung anong bibilhin ko. Mejo mahal yung mga tinitinda nilang tinapay. well what do you expect, nasa Makati area ako. So I opted to buy the cheapest - P29. (+ 12% vat pa). I forgot the name pero para shang pandesal na may tuna filling. The saleslady also convinced me to buy it kasi daw masarap daw yun at bagong luto pa.

Susmiyo. Pagkakagat ko, eto ang bumulaga sakin…

May sasarap pa ba sa P32-bread na to?  Gusto kong balikan yung saleslady at isampal sa kanya yung tinapay kaso naubos ko na sa sobrang sarap..nakakabusog pa..andami e..halos di ko maubos! masustansha pa to; mga 10 calories lang.

Well, iIf you want to try this world-class pastry, visit them at:

Updates. Updates

Havent updated this for a while - ay matagal tagal na rin pala. it says here that the last entry was dated august 1 and its the 28th already…time flies really fast..parang kelan lang ang mga pangarap ko'y kay hirap abutin.. Parang kelan lang nasa ilalim pa tyo ng mapang-aping mga dayuhan. Parang kelan lang. Sa nakalipas na magiisang buwan ang daming mga pagbabago na nangyari sakin. Di ko napansin humaba na pala yung kuko ko sa paa. Tsk. Tsk. At di lang yun, may isa pang malaking pagbabago:

Career change. Ano ba to? di ko rin alam e. Maganda lang shang pakinggan - CAREER CHANGE. naks. big time ba?

I have a lot of stories to share but i dont know where to start..i also forgot the details so maybe a recap will do..

To start with, i resigned from nec last august 3 and started to work for a danish company in makati (named rewss) 3 days after. Rewss? Ano yun? Well the company is quite new and as matter of fact our company is not yet registered in the Philippines. Right now, were under a firm named Prime Meridian - well they handle all the legal matters, payroll and other related stuffs. Then the next question would be, WHY? Simple.Because i can. haha. Well a lot of factors prompted me to move on and leave my beloved NEC (i wont ba mentioning the details here..u can pm me though if u want to have a little chitchat with me).

Shempre kasama sa paglipat ng company e ang change of environment. Well for me di masyadong drastic ang change na ito since laid back din ang environment dito like sa nec. Actually mas maluwag nga dito ng onti e. Heres an insight: (1)We can listen to any music anytime as long as we use earphones.(2)We have gaming rooms;right now foosball palang meron pero on the process na yung pagbili ng wii/xbox/ps3.. (3)We have 3 sleeping rooms pero iniintay pa rin ung tulugan - gravity chairs yata twag dun.(4)We have unlimited internet access kaso lately may blocked sites na rin like tabulas and youtube.pero may ym na so ok parin (4)Free lunch and drinks. (5)We have shower rooms… and more benefits to come pa raw like..

Traveling to and from work. Before, 15-20 minutes lang from our house e nasa office na ko. Now, i have to endure ayala's uber traffic. Umaalis ako sa bahay ng 7:30 am and on the average dumadating ako sa office ng 8:45. So mejo hirap pa ko magadjust…Sa paguwi naman e mga 15-minute walk from our office to ayala. Halos same lang ang gastos ko sa pamasahe though.

The Work itself. Before, flexible ang trabaho nmin. Meaning, no specializations - no specific PL na kelangan imaster, iba ibang platforms, iba ibang technology - it all depends sa kelangan ng project. So sa next project bagong technology n naman. Dito focused kami sa web development. For now php, java and perl ang gamit. I belong to the php/reports group together with erwin and vetz. si john nasa perl. c litz nasa java.

Friends. It really pains me to leave my friends sa nsp. Miss ko na yung 3pm 711 breaks. Pati yung lunch kulitan nmin..Impromptu movie nights at kung ano ano pa..Di na din kami nakakagimik together.. Madalang na kc kmi magkitakita. Swerte na yung once a week. Well ganun naman tlga..Nagkakalimutan na.Tsk.Tsk. Lagi naman. haha.

Well yun nalng muna cguro for now. Till next time.

PS.May bago pala kong natutunang salita kaso nakalimutan ko..hehe. 

Paper shredding and some love…

One of the most efficient task that i had this past few weeks is…*drum roll please*…paper shredding. Id say its efficient because i really am having fun shredding my 2 years worth of white papers - training handouts, project documents, printed codes, readings, references, dota cheat sheet, nihonggo handouts and some sheets of scratch papers. Id say its efficient because its better than browsing the net all day (when i say all day it literally means 2 hours worth of internet bandwidth per day), reading the newspapers until my eyes sore, and hopping from cubicle to cubicle like a supervisor.

Yesterday, I started shredding some papers at around 5:00pm and stopped fifteen minutes later. Doshite? Because the paper shredder gave up on me. I wasn't even half way through. I then decided to just collate all the papers, remove the attached staple wires, and pile them all up. I told myself (nahh.my alterego told me), "Just shred the papers tomorrow moron so that you'll still be efficient tomorrow."

I kinda felt sad. I saw my training handouts and remembered all the hardships that Ive been through during those training days. Those sleepless and tiring nigts - now thats exaggerating. I remembered what I was like 2 years ago and compared it to what Ive become now; whatever it is that I have right now, I owe it to NEC (alterego speaking: "owe it ok", not "owe it all").

Moving on. After piling all those white papers, i cleared my desk and place them under my table. Holy crap. This is approximately 3 reams of white paper and I have to shred them all. You know, according to the company policy, the ISMS i think, we have to physically destroy all project-related documents. And since most of these papers are project-related, i opted to just shred them all than separate the project-related(A) from non-project-related(B) docs and then shred A and just throw B.

So i think to my self, what a wonderful world. Then I asked myself, "How long will it take me to shred all these crap?"

Ok. Now lets do the math.

Given:
1. 1 ream = 500 sheets
2. The shredder can only shred 5 sheets at a time, but my supervisor told me to just place 3 sheets to save the shredder from breaking down.
3. It takes 5 seconds to shred the sheets completely and 5 secs to load the sheets from the feeder; all in all thats 10 seconds.
4. The shredder easily overheats and if it happens that THING may die and i might not get my clearance this friday. So to save my ass, id give the tard a minute of rest after every 3 minutes of continuous shredding.

Solution:
3 reams X 500 sheets per ream = 1500 sheets

1500 sheets / 3 sheets per shredding = 500 (no. of shredding batches?)

10 seconds * 500 shredding batches = 5000 sec. = 83.33 mins. of continuous shredding

83.33 minutes / 3 minutes of continuous shredding = 27.77; no. of 3-minute shreddings
27.77 shreddings X 1 minute rest = 27.77 minutes rest

83.33 mins. + 27.77 mins. = 111.1 minutes

Final Answer:
111.1 minutes

1 hour and 51 minutes of continuous shredding. That means i can only take a one-minute break after every 3 minutes. It also means that the shredder should not break down - and i shouldn't break down too (Yesterday, the shredder stopped and worked again 10 minutes later). Wheew. That's a lot of precious time.

To end this nonsense, i realized two important things: (1) Shredding sucks but can save your uber boring day; (2) I really am leaving NEC.
:-( 

Changed.

Nagpalit ulit ako ng theme. Kasi masyadong makipot yung previous theme na ginamit ko di magkasya yung mga pics na nilalagay ko. Eto mejo maluwag. Pano ba iedit yung css nito???
