Goodbye 2008! My most productive year in terms of post(see side bar). Hope 2009 will be exceed that number and my work(pics) improve.

Some more UDD pics.

The thesis is killing me right now. I'm so close to letting unchecked data into the analysis stage. When will this end?! Oh yeah, jan 12. Right... I'll go tie firecrackers around my body now. Where can I buy that "Goodbye Philippines!" firecracker...





Sinfest... gotta luv it.

Saw Up Dharma Down in their show at the Block. They blew my mind away... twice. The show would've been perfect had my seatmates not be old people who complain a lot. Yeah, everybody is falling asleep that's why you see a bunch of heads moving with the beat.

Hello! I'm twenty!

lantern parade

Happy Holidays!

Xmas - Birthday - Graduation wish list

Canon 50mm 1.8 lens - actually, bibilhin ko iyan pag nakaipon na ako. balik 0 ang savings ko
actually.

Canon 28-105mm 3.5-4.5 lens - hmmm... graduation gift from ninang? *evilness*

Flash Unit - kahit ano, hindi ako mapili. basta ung tatagal ng 5 years

Trabaho - ung part-time lang. kulang ang kita ko sa current "job" ko. tutor anyone?

Sci-Fi books ni Philip K Dick at Ursula LeGuinn

Sandman Graphic Novels ni Neil Gaiman - masyado siyang mahal para bilhin. Nakakapanghinayang dahil hindi naman ginto ang papel nito kahit gaano pa kaganda

Albums: Radioactive Gulaman, Space(Mishka Adams), Back to Black(Amy Winehouse)

Philippine Speculative Fiction Anthologies

Trip to Europe - hindi natuloy kasi ayaw ako payagan mag-isa at masyadong mahal kapag buong pamilya

1-2 years break before going to med school - parang masaya maging PHM

Fling - joke lang!

Caps - pref. ung sports cap in neutral or dark colors at adjustable ung size

Tennis shoes! - nagsisimula na naman sumuko ang mga sapotos ko. ang hirap maghanap ng matinong tennis shoes ah! puro reebok tuloy ang brand ng sapatos ko.

Tennis string - ang panget na ng tunog ng sweet spot ng raketa ko. samahan na rin ng bagong racquet kung mabait ang magbibigay. gawin na ring wilson dahil sobrang bait na naman niya.

Black and white... hm... interesting...

the hospital and university not the monument...

Canon 50 mm 1.8
Henry's - 4.9K (at least that's what the lady told me)
D Zone SM North - 4.5K

no stocks until January. Crud...

at walang CB 2LW chargers sa Hidalgo. Mayroon lang sila universal chargers na worth 1.25K. Kung ikukumpara mo naman sa CameraHaus price na 3K dun na lang sa Hidalgo kahit hindi siya Canon. Matanong nga ang nanay ng aking kaibigan.

I need a job. I could be a HS tutor for Chemistry, Algebra and basic Geometry and Biology.

I got my driver's license renewed. Maybe I'll try driving on Christams...

Some more pictures. These are some of the good ones I managed to upload before my camera fainted from exhaustion.

slightly crooked "cross-processed" photoshopped photo


for the requisite Oblation photos


should be rotated but it's fine the way it is right now.


good thing I didn't delete this even though it is a bit soft



reg you're the best!

No watermark yet, as I'm using my PC to edit still I'd appreciate it if nobody steals these(assuming they're good enough). And the subtitles are not coming out right... hm...

just a teaser...

Happy Holidays Everybody!

Collected data.
Walked around the Oval alone.
Met with high school friends and acquaintances.
Walked roughly around the same distance of the Oval, again.
Took pictures(mostly crappy ones) of the Lantern parade while standing on a precarious position.
The era of the SLR is really coming.
Noted how surreal the order of the parade is. Activists then Military group. Christian group then LGBT group.
Become amazed with the Fine Arts floats.
Went to the Ampitheatre and waited for the parade to end.
Moved to another location and watched the fireworks display.
Wow!
Went to SM, bought dinner and went home.
Sleep all day. Drat! my thesis!

Pictures soon... will be really late as I lost my battery charger.

Batch Christmas party last night.

I am so tired but I still have special studies and the UP Lantern Parade in the aftertnoon.

I recieved a limited edition of Bipolar, Up Dharma Down's 2nd album... the perks of being friends with the sister of UDD's guitar player. Happy happy

But this morning, sad sad. I lost the battery charger of my camera. It costs 2K, low right but I have no more money. I hope I just left it in my friend's condo unit. I don't think I dropped it in Pedro Gil.

Christmas break has started...

in my mind at least. I still have 5 days with classes and two weeks for data collection but I have no more exams so I can let my mind wander and think about non-academic stuff.

I saw 100 and Dose a while ago. Good-bye 300 bucks! 100 is really good, Dose nyeee... whatever.

I found myself watching Dose with a lot of homosexual men. Why? I could think of a number of reasons, some not quite moral(no, it's not the homosexuality. oh please!). Anyway, I was ID'd by the security guard/ticket person(I had no problem buying the ticket). I was hoping for it. I want to affirm that I still look below 18. *evil laugh*

I hope Imburnal will be screened at a more accessible time slot next week(the poster said the screening of the Cinema One Originals will be up to the 16th).

----
I'm excited to take pictures of the Lantern Parade in Diliman. I just don't know if my lens can handle the low light conditions. I fear that I must choose between blurry-hippy pictures and too dark pictures. Hopefully I won't be forced to use ISO 1600 since the pictures turn out so noisy.

---
One of our classrooms caught fire last Friday(no pictures, wasn't there when the fire happened). At least the neighboring auditorium wasn't affected and no one was hurt. It's still sad though.

---
I need to talk to one of my former professors(though he's really not a proffesor yet) for my med school application. And to my undergraduate advisor. Yes, application. Only one. Oo na! Mayabang na ako!

I'm getting more annoying lately. Hmmm... I should stop making such snarky comments.

Again, people are asking about my love life. People, Stop. If I am with someone, I'll announce it to the world. Just wait and be prepared. Okay?

I watched Hairspray while instead of studying. Good for me.
