Yesterday, while washing dishes (manually, we don't have a dishwasher), I was suddenly overcome with unspeakable joy. It's that kind of joy that seems to give light within the heart. Oh, so cliche, you say. Well, that's why it's unspeakable, it's very hard to put into words.<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'll just put it this way, even if you don't hate doing a chore as mundane as washing dishes, it still is a chore - repetitive, conducive for spaceout moments. Then you abruptly feel lighter, as if washing dishes is one of the most wonderful things to do in life! But that's not all, I also saw all the great things that happened in my life flash before me.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Now that I'm writing about that unspeakable-joy-moment, I ask myself, am I about to die? Is it a premonition of sorts?</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I'm always going through a lot, I try not to dwell on it, even if I feel my soul wavering, because that's how life is: There are joys, there are sorrows. It's just that sometimes, one sorrowful thing can throw a weight that can seep the life out of you. What fools we mortals be, indeed.<br /><br />My unspeakable joy moment just kicked sorrow's balls, and let me be for the entire day. So to honor that day, I'm posting this old photo that can be totally unrelated to the reader, but very meaningful for me.</div>

I usually take long walks. I sometimes look like a freak that carries a camera all the time, snapping pictures of whatever. Here's some snaps from a walk that (almost always) turned into a photo walk.<br />
<br />
It's a good thing that Angono is not a densely populated town, because every time I take a walk, there's only a few people that I see. At the time I took these pictures, I was wearing house clothes and plain tsinelas while lugging a heavy Yashica film camera.<br />

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">Nemiranda's Art Camp. I took this shot from the bridge over Angono River. As you can see, it is located in a very idyllic place. A perfect spot for creative minds while doing their artwork. I attended two art workshops last year in this place. The classes were taught by no less than Nemesio Miranda (Nemiranda) himself. He is a great teacher, and I feel like I'm doing him a disservice by not producing much art this year. Perhaps, next year, 2013, which is only a couple of days away, I'll be doing more artworks that can make their way in this blog.</td><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;"><br /></td></tr>

<tr><td class="tr-caption" style="text-align: center;">This used to be Nemiranda's art gallery, with the first floor used as a resto bar. Through the years, it has changed its purpose. Last time I checked, the rooms are being let as residential spaces and the first floor is rented by a funeral parlor. I once dreamt living in one of the rooms here, but it's always occupied by a renter. Still, I admire the architecture, and of course, the huge sculpture were both designed and made by Nemiranda.</td></tr>

Instead of graffiti, Angono artists decided to adorn their street walls with various relief sculptures. Well, they do have some walls adorned with creative graffiti art, but that's for another post.<br />
<br />
This street, I believe, is the one that leads to or is Lucio San Pedro Street. You can't miss this street it's near the town proper, just look for the bust of Lucio San Pedro at a street corner from the main road, enter that street.<br />

Angono is a nice town to be lost in. You can just take a long walk, be lost and be surprised on what wondrous artwork you'll see round the corner. I advise you all to go out and explore, too.<br />
<br />
That's it for now. Four days left before Christmas. :)</div>

I have mentioned several times on this blog that I have an old Yashica FX-D film camera. It is not in good condition, its joints are covered in black tape, film inside has a propensity to get stuck often, among other things. Most of the prints taken in sunny conditions get lots of light leaks.<br />
<br />
Despite all of these drawbacks, I still love using it. Instead of seeing an image that is a close approximation of the real thing, I get to see them in a surreal light.<br />
<br />
Here's some photos taken using my (not so) trusty Yashica. I used redscale film (or is it expired film?).<br />

<br />
What have I learned with this? Well, using a cheap, ready-made redscale film gives unpredictable "filters" on your photos. If you want a vintage, warm, worn look on your images without PS, this could greatly help in your project.<br />
<br />
Redscale film by Lomography is one of my favorite types of film to use. The results on each frame, on every roll developed, is very varied, it surprises you.<br />
<br />
That's it for now.<br />

I met up with some college friends that I haven't seen in years last Friday, December 14th, to watch the annual Christmas Lantern Parade in UP Diliman.<br />
<br />
It was catch-up time, so we really didn't take lots of pictures of the lanterns/floats being paraded. It's just a nice feeling to chat with friends in person, we've all been busy with our own lives. We reminisced, laughed, talked and had a great time.<br />

It just occurred to me that technology in photography has come a long way indeed. Almost everyone is lugging around photographic equipment, even kids have the expensive ones. Parades are great for photo moments, it's just that I got a bit dizzy seeing camera flashes from all directions.<br />
<br />
I love going to the annual parade. I try each year to find time to watch it. As a spectator for several years, I realized that I really am getting old, but it's a warm, fuzzy feeling. Yes, I do see the world changing right before my eyes in my mundane existence, but gatherings like this one amplify those changes. Making me sit back not only to marvel at the beauty of change, but to also mourn losses.<br />
<br />
It's almost Christmas. Have a happy holiday!</div>

Balaw-Balaw is a restaurant/art museum in Angono, Rizal. I lived for almost two years in Angono, and this resto is one of my favorite places in town (the other one is Nemiranda's Art Camp). I took lots of photos of this resto, on different occasions, but I'm not in the mood to upload all of them here. If you want to see this great art resto, you have to come in person.<br />
<br />
Yummy Filipino dishes in generous servings + great artworks = HEAVEN (for me, at least.)<br />
<br />
This photo is one of my favorite shots of my favorite artwork in Balaw-Balaw. The sculpture is very realistic. When I first saw it, it made me break a tear, I can't explain the feeling, but I had a melange of emotions upon gazing on this wonderful piece: calmness coupled with heartbreak and longing and other emotions that I can't put into words. I know my photography isn't great, but I hope you get the gist that this is a great work of art.<br />

These are old shots, I think last year, taken at different places and events. I used to lug around several film cameras, (these days I don't go out much) snapping pix of anything interesting using whatever I have available. From what I could remember, these were taken using my old Yashica SLR.<br />
<br />
The first three pix were taken at a cosplay event at MOA. We got bored inside the cosplay area as it is dim and nothing much is happening. So we took a breath of fresh air and noticed more interesting stuff near the entrance.<br />

We bought the Vivitar P&S film camera for only 500 pesos buy-one-take-one from the local online deal store: cashcashpinoy, our local Groupon. If you are Pinoy, chances are, you've already heard or used that site.<br />
<br />
It comes with a false panorama slide that you have to insert inside the cam's body. What it does is it gives the image a black border at the top and the bottom, fooling the eye into thinking that it's seeing a panoramic shot.<br />
<br />
These were taken in Angono and Antipolo City, both in Rizal Province, Philippines.<br />
<br />
First five photos are from Angono. This town offers idyllic spots, perfect for those who are tired of the city life. We just walked around and took photos of interesting subjects.<br />
<br />
Here's a restaurant area, where you could choose your preferred "kubo" (nipa hut) to dine in. I don't know the name of the resto, it's closed when we went there, but their specialty are duck dishes, specifically, roasted ducks.<br />

Since Angono is considered as the country's art capital, there are lots of places where art is their business. This one is the entrance to a factory of world-class sculptures. Again, my memory fails me in remembering the name of this place. You could easily spot it though, as it is near a prominent landmark in the town, the Iglesia station.<br />
<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
We walked further and spotted this huge carabao carving at a waiting shed. Each barangay in Angono have epic sculptures, but we weren't able to take pictures of all of it using this camera.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
Finally, we went home to Pao's parents' home in Antipolo and strolled in the park within the subdivision. We spotted this old water tower, which looks like a UFO for me.<br />

Our La Union trip tops all serendipities we have experienced. (A happy post :))<br />
<br />
We went to La Union for a fun run. We registered online and sent the payment through the bank. We were so excited. A week before the trip, we went online for hotel reservtions. All the hotels within San Fernando City were fully booked for the event, so we ended up booking for a hotel resort in the adjacent town of San Juan. It's going to be a fun sporty weekend for us, we thought.<br />
<br />
It was a long trip, delayed by slow-moving traffic on different points. The six-hour trip became a 7.5-hour trip. While on the bus, we got a bit concerned that our hotel seems far from the starting area of the fun run, which starts the next day at 4 a.m. We thought, let's just cope with our circumstances.<br />
<br />
We were tired, legs achy, hungry (because we didn't bring food and the food from the stopovers didn't appeal to us: pricey but doesn't satiate hunger), bummed that we got there at 4:30 p.m. instead of 3 p.m. check-in time, worried for the next day; when we checked-in at the lobby of the hotel, got a bit disappointed when we were told that the balcony room we reserved is not a beachfront room.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="font-size: large;">But fate works in ways we could never predict.</span></b><br />
<br />
Despite not being a beachfront room it still has a wonderful view of the beach! We got the view of the beach used by the Billabong Surf School. Nice waves, with lots of surfers. The far-off modern lighthouses can also be seen, this we found out at night.<br />
<br />
After freshening up, we went downstairs to the hotel restaurant, and was awed at the great view that it has. The resto is near the beach, we ate our food with the view of the calming waves and a magnificent sunset. We just went upstairs to our room when the moon was fully visible.<br />
<br />
We slept early (7 p.m.), because we need to be on the fun run meeting place by 4 a.m. The next day, we woke up at 2 a.m., hungry and excited, we went out and tried to wait for public transport (jeep or trike or bus) at 2:30, but uhm, we only got to hail a jeep at past 3.<br />
<br />
We ate a fast meal in McDo, then hailed a trike to take us to the starting point. When we arrived, there were lots of people. The people there are nice and friendly, but the registration is chaotic. Despite being registered online more than a month ahead, there was no separate list for those who have done so, and we had difficulty getting our race kits. We also were not allowed to upgrade our race category despite being advised days ago that it's ok. After an hour, we got our race kits and the feeling of being so out of place dawned on us. Yes, they are nice and friendly, but still, it felt that we are intruders in their event. Everyone seems to know where to go and what to do, but we just felt stupid and sad. (I mean no negativity towards the organizers, they are really good, nice and welcoming people, we just don't know how to cope in a foreign place.)<br />
<br />
So we decided to take a walk in the dark and not join the fun run. We were so sad, holding our singlets and race numbers, we walked where our feet took us around the still sleeping city until we found a convenience store, where we bought some provisions. We then rented a trike to take us back to our hotel.<br />
<br />
I have a habit of taking note of signs and landmarks while on any kind of transport, especially in a place I'm not familiar with. While the trike was speeding on the highway, I saw a sign that says Macho Temple. Funny, that sign is.<br />
<br />
Back at the hotel, we ate breakfast at our favorite spot in the hotel's resto. The view and the food made us feel good. We found it funny that we planned a trip to La Union for a fun run that we didn't participate in.<br />
<br />
After our meal, we took a long walk on the beach. I then understood the reasoning behind the cliche that most women long for, taking long walks on the beach with the guy they love. It really is a nice feeling. Well, it's my first time to walk on the beach with a guy I love. My beach outings were usually family and barkada events, not this. It's like we're on our first date. Four and a half years of being together and having fun conversations, but this long walk on the beach is different, a different kind of fun.<br />
<br />
When the sun got too high, we went back to our room. Checked our phones for messages and updates from family and friends, uploaded some pix, etc., the usual stuff. We then talked about the funny sign we saw, Macho Temple. I told him, I think it's a gym, thinking that some people think of their bodies as temples, it would be a cool gym name. He said, it sounds like a bar or beerhouse where men go. So we decided to ask google about it. After which, we laughed at our ignorance.<br />
<br />
Macho Temple is a Taoist temple.<br />
<br />
So on our third day in La Union, we have a new unplanned itinerary.<br />

The temple's location sits on a high elevation that gives a great view of the sea and San Fernando City.<br />
<br />
After touring the temple, we went for a walk around the city and we enjoyed it. Next year, we'll explore La Union some more.</div>

It is a bit ironic that my previous post is a year old, and was written at around the same date as today. New home. This week, I said goodbye to my old new home, and now I'm writing about my new new home.<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
In the past month, there is a series of unfortunate events that led us to the decision to sell that house and just rent a home. The sad thing is that, it's not because of financial reasons, but it's because of our next-door neighbors who did evil things to us, and still are trying to hound us even if we already left. I could detail their evil deeds here, but I choose not to do it (well, not now, thinking about it makes me cry.)</div>

Mahirap palang magkaroon ng sariling mundo, yung tipong pinili mong magkasariling mundo. Halimbawa, hindi ka pala-labas, ayaw mo sa party, marami kang sariling hobby. Mahilig kang magbasa, magmuni-muni, gumuhit paminsan-minsan. Kaunti pero tunay ang iyong mga kaibigan. Hindi ka naman patay na bata, pero hindi lang magaling makihalubilo. Yung tipong kaunti lang talaga ang nakakaintindi at nakakatanggap ng mga trip mo na hindi naman masasama at ilegal, pero hindi lang popular gawin ng mas nakakaraming tao.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Wala ka namang tinatapakan, gusto mo lang ng katahimikan at kalayaang gawin ang iyong mga dapat gawin at gustong gawin, pero dahil iba ka sa kanila, sasaktan ka.</div>

We are in love. We have hopes and dreams. We have agendas that lead to fun and happiness. We do stuff that are a bit weird for some, normal for some, but definitely not illegal, but yeah, ok, we're a weird couple because we have our own world doing stuff we want to do. The best thing is, we found a house to live in, and pretend we're Goldberry and Tom Bombadil in a cottage in the middle of the forest. The view is breathtaking, birds were chirping, trees surround us. Then some people came and spoiled it for us.</div>

We endured a month of bullying and other bad stuff from evil neighbors. They really didn't like us the moment we moved in that house, we know that they don't like us, and we thought, "so what, we have our own world within our home." Tahimik lang naman tayo, huwag na lang nating pansinin. The past month is the escalation of the bad things they've been doing consistently, that we chose to ignore before. I became a wreck, I was harassed and was crying most of the time. It was so bad, we had to escalate it to the authorities. (At this moment, there's still some hearings and stuff like that.)</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
I must stop reliving the details, I don't want to cry anymore.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
________________</div>
<div>
We left our home. Unang sabi ng ibang tao sa amin, sayang ang pera, tiisin niyo muna, di ba inireklamo niyo na at ihahabla, tapos ngayon ibebenta niyo ng palugi, dami niyo pang pinaayos diyan, etc. etc.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Dahil dito, napaalala sa akin ang isa sa mga rason na mahal namin ang isa't isa. "Ang pera ay madaling kitain. Walang presyo ang katahimikan." Pareho naming naisip iyon.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kaya naghanap kami ng bagong tirahan, pero renta na muna. At ang nakakatawa pa ay pinipigilan kaming umalis ng mga hayup naming kapitbahay. Akala yata nila may habambuhay silang aapi-apihin. Napahiya pa sila sa ibang miyembro ng komunidad na nalaman ang tunay nilang kulay. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Naramdaman kong kapag may gumawa sa iyo ng kasamaan, hindi naman dahil malas ka, masama lang talaga silang tao. Nung araw na napagdesisyunan naming umalis, nakahanap kagad kami ng bahay na lilipatan.</div>

Moral of the story:</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Kung alam mong loner/weird ka, bigyan kita ng tips sa pagpili ng bahay na iyong ipupundar.</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
<ol style="text-align: left;">
<li>Mahalaga ang magandang view, pero huwag mabighani kagad sa tanawin mula sa bintana, pansinin kung may katabi kang bahay. May firewall ba ito? Gaano sila kalayo sa pader mo? Suhestiyon ko ay mas mabuti kung wala kang katabing bahay sa apat na direksyon ng bahay mo.</li>
<li>Obserbahan kung ang mga magiging kapitbahay mo ay iyong mga tipong may "mob mentality," karaniwan sa mga ito ay mga chismosa/o na mahilig magkumpulan. Maganda siguro kung mga isang buwan mong araw-arawin ang pagbisita sa prospect mo na bahay para maobserbahan mo kung ano ang kultura ng mga kapitbahay na nakapaligid sa iyo bago mo pirmahan ang kontrata na binibili mo na ang bahay.</li>
<li> Alamin kung paano binabayaran ang association dues (kung nasa loob ng subdibisyon), sila ba ay pumupunta para singilin ka o may kailangan kang puntahan na bahay/opisina para bayaran. Mas maganda kung pwedeng bayaran online o pwedeng padalahan ng cheke sa koreo, tandaan, mas kaunting interaksyon sa ibang tao, mas maraming panahon para sa sarili at sa mga taong mahalaga sa iyo.</li>
<li>Dapat huwag kumuha ng bahay na naka-submeter sa asosasyon ang tubig. Basta, dapat may sarili kang account at metro ng tubig.</li>
<li>Alamin kung ano ang telecom na maayos ang signal at linya sa lugar, mahalagang may signal ka, telepono at internet. Kapag lahat ng telecom ay paltos ang gana sa lugar, huwag bilihin ang bahay.</li>
<li>Pero kung loner at weird ka talaga na gusto na living with nature, i.e. nasa mapunong lugar, mas maganda kung ang bilhing bahay ay hindi sa loob ng subdivision, nasa lugar na walang asosasyon para for sure walang manggugulo sa iyo para sa kung anu-anong events, dues, meeting, etc. etc.</li>
</ol>

Unang-una nasa kabundukan na ko nakatira, mahina ang signal at hindi kinakaya ng internet namin. Ubos na rin ang aking mga pondo dahil maraming kumpuni sa bahay na aming binili. Luma man ito at hindi isang mansion, masaya pa rin ako. Wala pa nga rin kaming kuryente, halos isang buwan na, nakikisaksak lang sa isang mabait na kapitbahay, maaasahan kasi ang natatanging provider ng kuryente dito sa kalakhang Luzon, kilala niyo na kung anong kumpanya 'yun.<div><br /></div><div>Heto ang isang bahagi ng view na nakikita namin sa bakuran. Napapaligiran kami ng mga puno, naririnig ang mga huni ng mga ibon at kung ano pa mang creatures. Pangarap kong tirahan, salamat sa Diyos pa rin dahil sa wakas hindi na kami nagrerenta (naghuhulog na lang ng maliit na halaga sa PAG-IBIG).</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><br /><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8lA254tFGNE/Tt8jgvDNG6I/AAAAAAAAA8k/veN5zA_KM5Q/s1600/sunset%2Bsa%2Blikod-bahay.jpg" onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;width: 650px; height: 432px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-8lA254tFGNE/Tt8jgvDNG6I/AAAAAAAAA8k/veN5zA_KM5Q/s400/sunset%2Bsa%2Blikod-bahay.jpg" border="0" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5683300300057549730" /></a><div><br /></div><div>Hindi malinaw ang resolution, 2 megapixels lang kasi ito, pero sa malayo tanaw ang mga nagtataasang gusali ng kabihasnan.</div><div><br /></div><div>Miss ko na ang aking mga paboritong blog, pag naayos na ang lahat, lalo na at pag nagkakuryente, super backread ako ng mga posts.

Third quarter ng taon na ngayon, at muli nila nirereport kung gaano sila yumaman o nalugi. Kaya ako na naman ay pusang pagod na editor ng transcript ng mga report nila, kailangang mag-research ng terms, alamin ang tamang pagkakabaybay ng salita at tamang gamit ng mga bantas pananda (na hindi ko naman nasusunod sa pagsusulat ko rito). Ingles lahat iyon, kaya't pagdating sa blog ay ninanamnam ko ang aking sariling wika.</div><div><br /></div><div>Kaya heto, gawa ako ng pang-Halloween post. Pampabalanse kasi ng buhay ang may ibang pagkakaabalahan. Sabi nga ng cliche, "All work, and no play, makes meow a dull cat."</div><div><br /></div><div>Kahit matagal ko na kinunan ang mga ito. Sa ngalan ng lahat ng mga nag-Halloween costume party neto lang, itong mga taong kinunan ko ay nagko-costume kahit hindi Halloween. Sana'y nakakuha kayo ng panibagong idea sa susunod na costume party niyo. Cute naman karamihan (para sa akin).</div><div><br /></div><div>Nalaman ko na pinagtuunan nila talaga ang paggawa ng kanilang mga sariling costume. Para talagang gayang-gaya ang kanilang paboritong karakter. Sila lang mismo ang gumagawa nito.</div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/TfU26uAXkupcFbjm9x-uOp26US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-iRnN7jr_Jyg/TrDlW44-d_I/AAAAAAAAA6c/Ifp0L2B-zWs/s640/co2.jpg" height="527" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Paborito ko sa mga sumali si manong superman. Young at heart, game na game.

Yung iba hindi basta-basta pwedeng kunan kahit public event ito. Nung nagbasa-basa ako sa internets, 'yung iba talaga ay ginagawang parang stepping stone sa pag-aartista sa pagko-cosplay. Siguro naengganyo sila sa biglang pagsikat ni Alodia na nagsimula bilang cosplayer. Dati kasi sa pagkakaalam ko, 'yung mga taong gustong maglaro at gayahin ang paborito nilang anime character ang nagko-cosplay. Nahaluan na pala ng showbiz.</div><div style="text-align: left;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Dahil medyo maraming dumedma sa aming iba pang mga nagkokodak, medyo nahiya na kaming magtanong. Kasi bawal daw silang picturan sabi ni manager. Hmmm, kailangan ng talent fee sa public event? Kaya't ayan, mga likod na lang at panakaw na kuha ang ginawa ko, ala-stalker. </div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/kWxHbnW2PqVQHHzZfNLu_p26US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-uwA4vA3Zlfw/TrDlfgZ5fOI/AAAAAAAAA6o/1KN3J7UdUPQ/s640/co5.jpg" height="322" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/hDFMYWKPsUbzEMTZ1r4-sJ26US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-GKFhZSrMusI/TrDllYc_7PI/AAAAAAAAA6w/1u0NhLyEjCU/s640/co7.jpg" height="640" width="639" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/ZqOUt2Mj23FXS5obh5mEtJ26US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh3.googleusercontent.com/-vl5poGS8JrE/TrDlo1X3p1I/AAAAAAAAA60/OMYXkZCpXt8/s640/co8.jpg" height="572" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/tUR7wuXuhwsy1e_ZyGCmq526US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-dkDZmPAp5Sk/TrDlr5GqP2I/AAAAAAAAA64/_4Son3JShZ4/s640/co9.jpg" height="525" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/4IZx6VKvRwYDO0ol3ODWBJ26US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh4.googleusercontent.com/-MDSVMzF3M5w/TrDlvZgyZYI/AAAAAAAAA68/4GAceIdrsMo/s640/co10.jpg" height="521" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/_lJvyydSD3nKGF7Y14YgqZ26US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh6.googleusercontent.com/-7GACBNX0Xlw/TrDlytTT6cI/AAAAAAAAA7A/nLK3iXv-RHY/s640/co91.jpg" height="575" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: center;"><a href="https://picasaweb.google.com/lh/photo/MLVS9OA3HIuqwRDDGeP-r526US1VthWZMSJoU-Fpfj8?feat=embedwebsite"><img src="https://lh5.googleusercontent.com/-MMdkl_Aip5o/TrDmADLkDQI/AAAAAAAAA7Q/U_O_opUIlu4/s640/co95.jpg" height="432" width="640" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;"><br /></div><div style="text-align: left;">Masked Rider!

Panalo ang mga bagong bus ng Victory Liner, tila mga distortion-free na picture windows ang gamit sa mga bus. Iyon 'yung tipong hindi nakakahilo na parang may grado ang salamin kapag tinitignan. Halos wala ring glare at reflection kapag kukunan ang mga tanawin sa labas. Kaya't ito na, pictures.</div><div><br /></div><div>Sa NLEX.

Excited na ko pumunta sa Baguio para sa event, wala pa nga kong kilala dun kundi si j-pox kasi pareho ang trip namin na kumuha ng larawan gamit ang film. Kailangan ko pang pumili ng isasaling larawan. Basta ang gusto ko lang naman may makasalamuhang ibang tao bukod sa aming dalawa ni j-pox na gamit din ang film sa pag-picture.

Sa akin ang solusyon ko, hanap ng ibang tao na iba ang perspektibo sa mundo. May ibang karanasan, may ibang boses.

Hindi naman ako nagka-cancer pero muntik ng magkaroon ng liver cirrhosis at kung anu-ano. Tinanggal na rin ang apdo ko. Hindi na rin ako maliksi gaya ng dati.

Para sa akin, medyo tama ang mga basa nila dok.
