A new hobby...

For everyone to know, my main hobby was playing ONLINE GAMES like Cabal, Ragnarok Online, Eden Eternal, RF Online, etc. But know, I want to change it to something that not only myself would appreciate, but maybe other people will. And I also think this is the way to show my friends and other people of another "ME".

"What is it?" you ask? Some may think, "He quits online games, maybe he gets back to LAN games.", my answer, NOPE! It is very far from that, it's a little bit related to computer and internet, as I need those for sharing  this hobby to others.

I was inspired because of my office mate having this expensive yet awesone gadget. A CANON 1000 DSLR Camera. He has some great shots, very clear that made me want to make Photography as a hobby. At first I said to myself, its too late to be a hobby, but its worth a try.

Photography, what is with this hobby that inspired me? 4 things got to my head, 1st I get to capture good or bad moments, which when I see it, I remember what happened yesterday, last day, last week, last month or my last birthday. 2nd its not that hard, you just need to get a nice angle, nice background and good timing on taking shots. 3rd I can do this even if I'm at home or at work, because images are everywhere, they are just waiting for me to take them. And 4th, the final reason was because, I'm personally bad at writing at blogs, or expressing my self personally, I want to express every moments to my friends, office mates etc. by sharing those moments that I capture.

What I need? I need a camera, but its very expensive for me. But, that doesn't stop me. I got a cool gadget, the iPhone 4. It gives me only 5 MegaPixel, but still it is good, because its handy and can directly send pictures thru social networking sites for others to see. So for the meantime, without camera I'll have a good start (I hope.). Here is my newly created Facebook page where I will post them, but also I'll post it here in my blog.

Also, here are samples, I edited them just to put my name on it for copyright, but I did not edit their quality.

This is my phone, the iPhone 4. I don't meant to brag about it, I only posted it here for everyone to see what device I will use to start to get to "Photography".

  Note: This pic was taken using my office mate RC Tamano's DSLR Camera.

Yobe's Birthday Celebration :)

Sunday... Birthday ng bestfriend kong si Rene Boy Meneses... ^^,

Planado na tong araw na to na umattend ako, kaso nautusan akong mag drive para sa Daddy ko, buti nalang nakalusot, hindi naman sa ayaw ko syang ipag drive, kaso naka set na kasi tong B-Day handaan ni Yobe eh, bglaan pang sinabi sakin.

Bago umalis, syempre prepare muna ng mga gamit, ska mga iiwanang gamit. Kaya ayun, nagbilad na kami ng mga unan and mga pantalon dito sa bahay:

 

Tapos, pati si Bantay pinaliguan na din, para iwas kuto, malinis at mabango hehe...

Now, everythings done, time to go to Rene Boy's house with my friend Vahn Ibanez, located at San Jose Del Monte Bulacan (30 mins travel time with own vehicle)...

Pero bago kami dumeretso sa bahay nila, napadaan kami sa Pleasant Hills subdivision lagpas lang ng Lagro, dun kasi nakatira yung isa pa naming kaibigan na si Mon Patrick Valdez, naisip ko daanan baka sakali mabitbit namin sya haha. Pagdating sa kanila ayun, bagong gising, wala daw syang tulog ng madaling araw (owss? Joke un?! haha). Kaya pinagbihis na namin agad, wala na din ligo ligo haha... 

Eto kami habang nag hihintay :

 

Tapos deretso na agad pagkabihis ng weak na si Morick! haha!!

Pagdating, set up na ng regalo, at ang napakatindi at memorable na regalo ni Vahn kay Yobe:

Hehe, memorable noh?! Nakakatawa pero syempre gift nya yan, saka natuwa naman kami kasi inaccept sya ni Rene Boy, yan ang kaibigan xD

Yeah bah! haha!

Since saglit lang dapat kami dito, nagpa handa na kami agad kay Yobe :

Habang nag preprepare ng handa, si Vahn Bumirit na!

 Sog bu sigurado pagkatapos haha

After ng kainan, may konting kantahan din syempre di mawawala yan :

 Di makita sa cam ung kinakanta... Careless Whisper ba yan?!

Syempre bumirit din ako xD

 One word... "IMBA"

Paalis na din sana kami ni Vahn, then dumating isa pang classmate, si Josua ^^

Sad to say, almost 2 hours lang kami ni Vahn :(

Bawi nalang next year.. sayang talaga, kung di lang ako pinaghihigpitan hanggang gabi pa kami dyan xD

Not so busy Saturday

This day is planned to be a not so busy day for me. My mind was focused on other things than work. Like for example, the time I shoot the photos below, I was hungry because I heard that they are planning to cook a dish we call "Nilagang Pata ng Baboy" here in the Philippines.

Just when we are about to buy some ingredients, I so happen to bring my Phone, so I was able to take some pics while walking (most of them are not uploaded).

Here is when we just got out of the office heading to Robinsons Victoria Towers beside our office. I did not expect to see many bicycles lined up for a race or something. Because here in Panay Ave., its hard for me to find someone riding a bike, but now I see so many of them. LoL!

Also, if this was supposed to be a race, where is their uniform xD

After this, we head on to Robinsons to buy our ingredients, sadly I forgot to take pics while we are buying them, but I got a shot on one of the special sauce that I was craving for a longtime.

Sukang Pinakurat "Sawsawan ng Bayan" :D

Then we rushed back to the office so they could start cooking, because at this point I am very hungry xD.

Now back to the office, here I got pics of the ingredients, even some funny moments in our pantry.

Here is the "PATA"

              The Veggies, and the      
                 PASAWAYs xD    

How sweet! hehe!

After all the long preperation, time to cook. It took around 20-30 mins for everything to be done. Again, no pics of the finish product, because when I saw it in the pantry, I started to eat already and forgot to take some pics.

Tomorrow is Sunday... What should we cook next... :D

ABANGAN tomorrow :)

What a good way to start your day, is to chew on some juicy beef. Sponsored by Bulalo Fiesta. :)

Yum Yum! Pagdating ko sa office banat agad :)

After eating, ayun solve na. Si ate Chai di pa nakontento sinama pa ako sa Starbucks, Coffee pa, pano pa tayo papayat nyan?! Haha!

Nakakatawa pa yung service crew sa Starbucks, pasosyal na english pa banat sa amin, sabay tanong ng name namin, maganda naman pagka bigkas at napakalinaw. I said Erwin po, then Chai. Eh result nung sakin....

Weird huh?! Kaya medyo ayoko sa mga Socialites and Social Climbers eh, minsan di ko sure kung kausap ko sila, naiintindihan nga ba lahat ng mga pinagsasabi ko? Or Wrong spelling pandinig nila sakin haha!!

Disclaimer: Nothing against Starbucks, just sharing funny experience earlier :D

Ready to go to the office...

Just when I was ready to go to the office, hindi ko alam, bigla ko nalang na tripan mag take ng pics na I would like to share. We have some flowers in our yard, so pinagtripan ko lang kunan hehe...

No idea what is the name of this flower, pero mataas range ng amoy nya, saka mabango xD

Kung titignan mo lang sya ang ganda ng pagka dilaw, pati ung leaves niya sobrang berde, pero pag inamoy to sobrang baho, tawag nga ng cousin ko dito BAHO-BAHO. Sabi nya damo lang sa province (ROMBLON) to, pero dito mahal nila ibenta xD

Obviously, ORCHID to hehe..

Hindi lang flowers napagtripan ko, pati yung aso kong si Bantay nakunan ko sa paborito nyang position pag nakatunganga at nag iisip...

I enjoy taking photos kahit walang saysay na mga bagay bagay kaya pagtyagaan nyo nalang :D

Aeta's got talent

I was surfing the net and looking for something entertaining, and a saw this on ABS-CBNNEWS.COM so I decided to share it in my blog. Credits goes to ABS-CBN NEWS.

Arjohn Gilbert, the young Aeta whose singing talent made him a YouTube sensation, hopes to follow the footsteps of his idol, international artist Allan Pineda a.k.a. apl.de.ap of the Black Eyed Peas.

Arjohn said he admires Pineda as a performer and a fellow Cabalen. Arjohn was born in Mabalacat, Pampanga while Pineda hails from Angeles.

"Kasi mabait po siya at marunong makisama sa kapwa niya. Magaling din po siyang performer at mapagbigay sa mga nangangailangan. 'Yan si apl.de.ap," he said in an interview with abs-cbnNEWS.com.

Arjohn met Pineda recently during the latter's visit at Sapang Bato National High School in Clark, Pampanga.

The Black Eyed Peas sensation has publicly stated that he wants to perform with Arjohn in the future.

Arjohn said he might see Pineda again in Naga this coming November 17.

The young Aeta sensation also said he would like to work with Journey's Arnel Pineda and Pinoy Dream Academy finalist Bugoy Drilon.

Viral Rookie award

Born on August 23, 1997, Arjohn was only 2 years old when his parents discovered his talent for singing. He is the 4th child of Mr. Johnny Gilbert and Rebecca Laxamana.

Arjohn first shot to fame when videos of his singing went viral on video-sharing website YouTube.

One video where Arjohn sang Justin Bieber's Baby, Bruno Mars' When I See Your Face and Mariah Carey's Angels Cry got 1,175,622 views as of this posting.

Arjohn recently won the Tatt Viral Rookie award from the first Tatt Awards of Globe Tattoo. He shared the award with another YouTube sensation, Maria Aragon.

He is currently taking voice lessons and preparing for a duet with international singing sensation Charice in the latter's concert on October 25.

Is it possible for a kid like me to take down a TOWER?

Food trip sa office, ayun nag pa deliver si ate Chai ska RC ng two TOWERs. Baka anong tower iniisip nyo ha? Tower Burger lang naman yan from KFC hehe... I visited KFC's Facebook page, I saw this vid;

Better luck next time nalang, saka more practice ^^

PLANKING?!

Planking... planking dito, planking doon, planking sa radyo, sa TV sa newspapers pati ata sa pag ddrawing planking na din. Lagi ako napapaisip kung anong kalokohan ba to, may nag sasabi pa nga sports pa daw to xD. Kahit sa SAGS (Computer shop sa Lagro) mga nag lalaro ng DOTA dun ginagawa din ang planking. Edi syempre nagtanong ako kay Google.

Eto naman sabi nya..

Si google naman, nagtanong na nga ako, results ng search eh puro questions pa rin. Pero kung iisipin, ano ba mapapala nyo sa kalokohan na to? Haha, edi wala... Hindi ka naman kikita ng pera dyan, muka ka lang tanga, sayang pa sa oras. Wew, pero sa bagay may kanya kanyang trip naman tayong lahat diba? xD

Basta sakin... "Planking? Potek yan, waste of time! :P"
