Pulilan’s Carabao Festival

Taon-taon ay pumaparada [...]

Ang Isa Kong Boto

May 11th, 2007 · 4 Comments

May nagtanong sa aking kung boboto ba daw ako o hindi, bagay na matagal kong pinag-isipan. Sa totoo lang matagal ng nawala ang paniniwala ko sa electoral system ng ating bansa. Kahit na nagkukumahog na makapwesto maging ang mga nagsasabing progresibong bloke ng ating lipunan, malayo pa rin sa pangarap ko na ito [...]

Back to Black

May 10th, 2007 · 2 Comments

Maybe you have noticed a great deal of change in my lay-out, after having a one-column theme for more than a year, I went back to a two-column theme. There are many reasons why I’ve implemented these changes (to many to mention), but the only thing that is sure, I did this for you [...]

It’s Google time

May 9th, 2007 · 5 Comments

Photographers Agony

May 6th, 2007 · 3 Comments

Natawa ako sa isang thread sa on line photography forum, sabi nang isang photographer, “lugi tayong mga photographer, lagi tayong wala sa frame, marami nga tayong nakukunang magagandang tanawin pero wala naman tayo sa picture.” Quite true, we take beuatiful pictures but have nothing to show that we’ve been there.

Flip Flops Anyone?

May 5th, 2007 · No Comments

I have always been a “fan” of sandals (or sinelas as we call it in our native language), I feel more comfortable wearing it, in fact, I feel better walking with a pair of flip-flops than punishing myself with a pair of shoes.
