Instant Gratification

We got Sofia a Fujifilm Instax Mini 7s for her 6th birthday. She loves taking pictures and I hope this will stop her from borrowing my camera. Ako naman ang manghihiram ngayon. :D

What I love about it? The Wait. I can hardly contain myself. :D

Linggo ng Wika

We watched my daughter's class perform at their school's Linggo ng Wika program yesterday and here are some photos I took of some of the performances mostly by students and some guests.

Joey Ayala




Lupang Hinirang


MCHS students


Halili-Cruz Ballet Dance Group


My daughter, Tallulah, watched in awe and applauded every performance of the group.


The group's interpretation of, if I'm not mistaken, Joey Albert's "Ikaw Lang Ang Mamahalin"




The stage was so dark during this performance. Sana pinatay na lang nila yung ilaw para di na ko nakapag-picture, haha!

Tallulah and I enjoyed the show. Si Danny, NR (No Reaction), haha! But he's thinking of enrolling Tallulah in a ballet class at Halili-Cruz School of Ballet :D

Photowalk: Roxas Boulevard

I haven't joined a photowalk in a long time. So we have this little camera club in the office and 7 originally signed up for this photowalk, but for whatever reasons, on the day of the walk, we were down to 3 - JB, Moi, and Bimbo. That's me in the middle, malamang. :D



Harbor Square


What I like about photowalks? When you share/compare photos taken from the photowalk, you realize that there are a variety of perspectives that you can shoot a particular subject from. Look at how Jb "saw" this chain here. Now, why didn't I see it that way? :D


Today's catch. Ang konte no? :(


Ulam.


Dahon.


Si Manong Buko. :D


Gusto ko 't0, basta. :D


Pakwan, anyone? :D


One of my many failed attempts at panning. Pero malinaw naman yung 'taguig' van di ba? :D


Finally, I had the chance to take photos of these yatchs! I always see these in most of my Flickr friends' photostreams so dapat meron din ako, haha!


Kahit isa lang, okay na ko :D


Manila Bay


We chanced upon a dragonboat race at the Manila Bay at around 12 noon but the harsh light was so bad, the boats were too far, and I didn't have my telephoto lens, so I didn't get a decent shot. Excuses, Excuses. :D


Till next photowalk! Kelan at saan kaya? :D

Keira's 4!

Keira's 4 already, yay! More photos from her party here.

Jessie and Kelvin

Yup, Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar is also a great place for a prenuptial/engagement shoot! Click here to view more photos of Jess and Kel. :)

Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar

Some night shots at Las Casas Filipinas De Acuzar in Bagac, Bataan. Paki-Google na lang yung place for further details, haha! I am sobrang tamad to write about it just now. :D It's generally a nice (and new) place to visit with your camera in tow. The place is still in its soft opening as there are facilities/attractions that are still being constructed (like the spa and gym). The highlight is a "village" of heritage houses "designed to replicate Hispanic town settlements." We are talking about real old houses in the Philippines that have been restored and set up in a 19th or so century community setting.

Casa Meycauayan.

Casa Meycauayan (close-up :D).


Casa Baliuag I


Casa Binondo I


Paseo de Escolta. This is the only structure that is not authentic and is a mere replica of a typical Escolta Building in the 1900s.

I will post more photos soon, I promise! :D
