meet iron man

saturday it was, my prayers were answered! no rain.yey. left home after lunch for another trip to hidalgo to have my B&W developed. too bad we were too late, and it would take around 2-3 hrs for the processing and developing, there was limited time, will have chrissy pick it up this weekend. darn, and i was excited. first task on the list, check. next was to have the ricoh fixed. task not fulfilled. boo. according to every repair shop we visited, it was hard to have old automatics fixed. considering that their parts are all faced-out and our ricoh defenitely needed a replacement somewhere deep inside it. hmph. but sad i was no longer. coz just as we arrived the area, we already spotted this 1963 konica eematic! the place where we found it was another stall but was sort of behind other vendors i think of ukay2. oh yeah was it a great find, according to that other stall where we got the lenscap and the red filter for our vintage camera! hahaha instead of being too darn disappointed with my goodbye to dear ricoh, we were blessed with this one...la la la..still on the getting to know stage with this one. a very different one from my holga, very heavy, body's real metal, very far from my made in china's all-plastic body. 

STUPID GOVERNMENT OFFICES

here we are preparing for our annual tshirt design competition, and i was partly assigned with the things needed for the registration forms and the poster. then as every promo has to go through, we need to submit a copy of our poster and regform to DTI and have it approved. after some revisions for the poster, what i don't see is that they really wanted to see a verbatim of the details placed on the registration form on the poster. what shallow brains they have. when the thought, exactly the same thought is just written there and one need not to be confused about the information printed on the registration form and the poster.sheeesh! why can't they just read it, try to understand the sentences and compare both materials before they keep on telling us that it should be consistent! it's well damn consistent all right! they're just sooooo lazy to even use their brains. crappy government offices.! can never win over them.soooo close minded.shit.

his solo

this morning i got a wall post from iggords askin me if i have heard of brandon boyd's solo album. and so like any other kid who's soo much in touch with her torrents, i got myself a download of the entire solo album. too bad the quality of my download isn't that great when aired via headphones. here's a video of his first single released for the album from HD vimeo.! rarrr.gasalig ka gwpo kaayo ka boanga ka.

oh ricoh

please please, let someone fix this camera this saturday! 

was excited and all for two weeks to get hold of chrissy's camera. then even as i was able to get this, still was not able to test it because unlike dear holga, ricoh needed batteries. my flash's batteries have all been drained and my charger's always in the office. always forgetting to bring any of those together. and now, finally all three plus the cheap film, and soooooosuperduperecxited to let the pop-out flash work and hear how it's shutter sounds it looks like that i still won't be able to use this. boo. i guess the camera right now's not in a good condition at all. and now i just learned that it hasn't been used for nearly a decade! whaaaat?!?!?! no wonder. hahaha better have this looked this saturday. i hope it won't rain so i won't have to dive the murky waters in hidalgo.haha and hopefully have my b&whites by then. 

elitechrome means saturation!

high contrast photos. i finally got them. if i had put it in my mind that this roll i got was a 100asa then i should have better photos. because of my clumsiness i wasted more than 10 shots with brown prints. oh well, first elitechrome anyway, another excuse. haha but it might take me a long time to purchase another roll of this kind coz it's just so costly compared to the usual film i get. photos here.

and now, another visit to hidalgo, got three new rolls and all are what you could call budget films.nyaaahaa.each less than a hundred.. magmantinir satag baratohon for now kai wa nai kwarta. and i hope i'd learn to make use of these 100ASAs.  i still need to have my first B&W developed, wishing the photos would come out well, considering i had some night shots.

agosto uno

we've finally reached our first year! whew! it's not always happy but what do you know, i guess we need to learn from each other. just had a simple hang-out date yesterday, the kind we haven't done for a very looong time. i had a great time yesterday coz we were able to talk just like the old times. haha![as if unsa na kadugaya, basta just like before :)] i'm really glad we made it through the crazy months of blah.blah.blah. and i just hope this time i won't be too sensitive coz it's sooo darn exhausting. hoping for better days, weeks, months and even years.haha we'll see. i'm looking forward to that. thank you lord.

tooowyerrrs nakooo

woah! it's pretty darn amazing how time flies fast.. was it that fast? naaah. not really. there were times that it felt like fast and there were plenty that one would wish would be over. but whatever it were, i'm glad to have come this far. during lunchbreak i was talking with chrissy about our two years of stay in the company, how sometimes it's not really that enjoyable here[coz we're far far from home...homesick blabbers...things are so costly], and out pay's not that very supportive with us. you know, things an employee usually complains about. told him that i'm absolutely here not because of the money but for the job, and two years on the record is pretty enough for me to decide to...RESIGN!!! haha boang ka dai? shit. the things i got to bear for being far from my family and friends. i'm not being dramatic, i'm just saying that i hope these would all be learning experiences for me to be stronger. and yes, i hope things would go according to plan for the next following months. i still do hope to stay in the company till the first 5 months next year so i can join the annual trip and still get to contribute, if they would allow me to, that is if the MGT wouldn't get so crappy about my plans of resigning. oh well, another come what may situation. 
but yeheeeey to me for getting this far for a job that's situated far from home. i guess the job counts, i wish i have this job in cebu and everybody would be happy!hahaha 


here's some shots i had two years ago when my phone's camera's workin perfectly fine :)

can you guess the 35 movies showcased in the video? guess! guess!haha!

in a couple of weeks and it'd be a year of mainly two things(another year ra diay sa usa). i'm not excited though, too bad. a lot of things can still happen in fifteen days and we don't know whatever's going on on both our heads. it's sooo gubot and i don't know how long it'd stay this way. lately, i have been too irritable on a lot of things, which i myself got annoyed with how my mind's been thinking. and it's very exhausting! hopefully the following weeks would pass by well and would be kind enough to give me a break from all these draining emotions that i don't even need. and i hope that my job's pay on the next cut-off would be good [as in pwede mag-increase na kai kapoy kaayo!] and maybe, i'm really wishing that everything would go well on that awaited date. 

Viva España

i was too zombie-mode yesterday to even type anything about the WorldCup finals. my head was hurting the entire day due to the lack of sleep. sure, i was able to snooze for a couple of hours but it doesn't help much. anyway, i was not really that excited to watch the finals for the reason that the teams i wanted to be in the finals are not the ones playing on it. and for that reason, i did not take much effort on waking up at my 2:30 alarm, snoozed it twice until i turned the alarm off, forgetting and suddenly woke up exactly an hour after, turned on the TV catching halftime of the game.blaaah.*not excited mode but still interested* but fairly enough, Netherlands and Spain did a good job on maintaining zeros until the 116th minute of the game. but still, i thought to myself, it would have been better if it ended with a shootout. nyahaha. congratulations to Spain.! congratulations to friggin octopus Paul. during the awarding, one can't help but also feel good about the winning, those beaming faces and the look of the trophy..woah. it does feel great even winning a game during the intramurals, what more in a WorldCup finals.!nyahahaha xD. just have to steal some shots from our TV, feeling naa sa soccer city.haha xD.

*what a coincidence..my first and only not in-the-house viewing for this year's WorldCup was done in some Spanish bar/resto.

and i thought this morning' s game would be an exception. well, i agreed that Spain could win, but at the back of my head i was hoping for Germany to win, despite the heartbreak i got from their winning against my team. this morning, i only get to watch probably the last 3 minutes or so of the game, coz i wasn't able to wake up. i had no clue on who was leading and to whether the mollusk's choice was right. until the sound came and the commentator stated Spain's victory.  haha! that water critter can really guess. or yah it could be psychic. whatever. anyway, at least this finals would be so full of firsts.[click here..] and it would be pretty exciting. and please don't let that octopus decide the finals' fate. i hope i get to wake up 2:30 monday morning and i hope S23 would be kind enough to telecast the game live same as they did for the semis. :)

i want this too!

so perfeclty imperfect!

gotta love the dreamy blurry effect this camera captures!

4teams to go

i'm no longer excited with the World Cup after Argentina's loss to Germany. too bad both teams had to face each other too early. and now, Spain and Germany would be facing each other, still, why do they have to face each other at this stage? but as i see it, Germany would be the champion. but i'm just stating that coz it's only their and Spain's games that i have remembered watching their perforrmance. i guess i get to see a little of one of Uruguay's games but it didn't really give me an idea of how they play so i don't know, i don't have any idea how they go. for Netherlands, according to my cousins they were just lucky on their winning against Brazil. still, can't say anything about their performance. good luck to Germany and Spain. there could be good defense for both teams, if Spain makes sure they don't act Argentina on their last game. hmph. WHY?! haha [still hurrting, damnit!] oooh..anyway, here's a video i found from lomo's posts coz there's a guy in the ad wearing a shirt with a  supersampler print. but i'm posting it coz of messi. darn whaaay do they[Germany] have to be sooo harsh! haaahaa

ARGENTINA'S OUT FROM 2010 WORLDCUP

4-0!?

GERMANY MADE THEIR FIRST GOAL AS EARLY AS THE 3RD MINUTE!?

WHAT THE?!

ARGENTINA'S NOT PLAYING PROPERLY.

SO SAD! SERIOUSSSSSLY... I'M SOOOO SAD :(

anyway..kudos to Germany, they were really good.

they did well on their defense making sure Argentina's strikers

couldn't get through. then they had good passes as well. 

porma jud kaayo sila oy! 

kompyansa ra man gud kaayos Maradona oy! tsk!

heehee, Spain's game will be playing this 2:30..

don't really care anymore who wins. haahaa

bitterrrr!

nike ad curse

i forgot to mention, those guys involved in the Nike Write the Future which is in one of my previous posts are were sadly sent home already with their teams. good for Brazil that they didn't include Ronaldinho in their line-up. teehee.

quarterfinals starts tonight!

after a week of not being able to properly catch up with the World Cup games, (the telecasts i have been watching are way too delayed) it's already quarterfinals!!! ohmaaay!! sooo many i missed! darn it! missed the Portugal v España game as well as Argentina v Mexico, slept on Germany v England's 2nd half. bida! it'll be Brazil v  Netherlands tonight, but i'm not really excited about that. the game that i'm really looking forward to would be tomorrow's match between Argentina v Germany. aaaah!!! both teams are just simply...i don't know how to describe it properly basta mao jud ning duwaa na tan-awun jud kai ambot ngano sila pai gaabot ani na stage! makasapot! mga maayo jud oyee!!!  

i hope my cousins would agree tomorrow that we should postpone that sky thingy and watch the World Cup instead, well at least i have iggords on my side na! haha! i'm sure she would hate missing it as well. 

and now as i browsed through my chrome browser, it's just now that i discovered that they're having WorldCup themes as well! haahaa. and just to support mee team, here's what my browser looks like a few hours ago[i switched it back to my original anyway]. and that article from yahoo sports regarding the pressure between Argentina and Germany, Argentinian coach Maradona mocking one of the German player is just hilaaaarious! oh well, come what may. but still i don't mind Germany winning but it'll be great seeing Messi's team advance! 


care for some jackjohnson? click image :)

round of 16 na!

as much as i wanted to post this one over the weekend after tonight's game, i can't coz i don't have internet access at home. so now i only have the 12 team's game schedule. but as i see it, it would be portugal and brazil for group G but still not clear for group H. here are the schedules if any of you care.haahaa :) but i can't deny the fact that im sooo excited for this weekends games. hopefully studio23 would be cooperative.please no US open please.haahaa ;P

FIFAayfoowhfahm

FIFA's in it's last days of it's knockout stage and on the next few days they'll be on the round of 16. Argentina's on a very good spot right now, and i'm definitely rooting for them[Messi's birthday's on thursday!haha]. and i can't believe i missed their game with Greece last night thinking it would be tonight pa. grr! but i'll be cheering for SKorea as well. anyway, there's still Brazil to watch for, and too bad until now, all i see are clips and write-ups about the results of their games. it's because there's no freakin balls in destiny channel that we can't have free live streaming of the game. bummer. anyway, tonight would be US and England's game but not against each other, but im thinking from their group[B], England would be goodbye and US would get in to the next round, considering the points each team earned from their previous games. then on the 25th would be Brazil against Portugal. after Portugal's victory against NKorea the other day [7-0], probably their next game would be something to watch [not icluding ronaldo's dramatic moves..pero okay rsad haha]. referees have been an issue in the current Worldcup, there had been two of them committing erroneous, stupid decisions. 

status of the participating teams after june 22, 2010's games

teams in for the next round: argentina.mexico.skorea.uruguay

ohh well, i hope i get to wake up later tonight to watch studio23's replays and i hope they'ed be broadcasting the England and US game repectively, or maybe Germany's nalang. okay rapud. then again i'll have only 5 hrs of sleep and be late for tomorrow.boo. hope not, on the latter.

sunrise on analogue

one of the reasons one is willing to go on set-ups is they get to travel to some places, at least be out of the office for sometime for free[well, that covers transpo, food and lodging expenses]. or that would only be the reason. travelling alone and bringing all the materials needed for set-up is partly tiring, at least i get to eat all the food cravings i had during the trip [photos at home] and get to see some places i haven't been to before. 


weee! that's right it's already morning and the freakin ferry still hasn't left negros for cebu! sucker. but yes, i was able to visit home even just for three days,  and get to experience the agonizing brown-out sa tubig at our house. hehe who cares? at least i was home. :) 
[photo: 2010 june 4]

new blog feature!!!! [well not really]

and i thought such feature is not applicable to my blog. and after being bummed for the past months since this feature was announced, here it is! waaaawooo!! now i could change my layout. though i don't know if one could change the background image with a personal one and not one from the option box. test-test for now. haahaa

oh shit! oh shit!

was just too stressed out for the past few days from the set-up and lagyo byahe plus bug-at gamit and other stuff. nothing really to fuss about. and now as i opened my email checking out my daily newsletters from several websites i subscribed to, lomo just let out the new word. the product that they have been giving clues about for the last couple of weeks i think has been launched! waaw! it's pretty damn neat this new thing they've released! the spinner 360º camera! maybe i'm just too excited coz its new or what but at least it made me all smiley or whatever you call it. nyahaha. ang guess what?! it's way cheaper than the horizon kompakt im longing for! but who knows when it would land in philippine shores??!?! gayl! if ever you could check this entry while you're in thailand, and if ever you get to pass by Lomography Embassy Store in Bangkok and got to have a glimpse of this camera. please take a shot of it, better yet, with it with a big smile on your face for me. haha thanks.! if not, well, i'll see this soon. here's some ways to use the camera. and more on their lomo microsite.

3rd roll surprise

**im on my third roll of film for since i bought 

    my toycam. learning from my 2nd roll, i decided to buy

    kodak again with 400 ASA. great. so let's start 

   experimenting how it looks like having multiple 

   exposures, delaying the shutter| using b setting

   and all those wonders one can do with a holga, at least .

   my holga doesn't do much light leaks as much as the 120

  does. but thanks to our clumsiness, we got to have a few

  exposed shots and some leaked ones. bravo! how i

  just love messing around with this toy! 

**and as i have said a few posts before the developing

   center does matter! we had my film developed first at this

   nearby kodak center which they give out a free film for

   every developing service, unfortunately after my excitement

   on having my photos, they only got to print 2 shots stating

   that the rest weren't good at all, their machine can't "read"

   the rest of the shots. haha.pretty frustrating ey! but as we checked

   out the roll, the negatives were pretty neat! pataka lang jud tong

   babay! chrissy said let's have it looked in picture city the next day.

   and what do you know! they did it. all you have to tell the 

   personnel is to print all, whether it's 'good' or not. weee. so there i

   was sunday evening beaming with joy. fascinated with myself.bwahaha.

just starting

it was just recently that i really found the time to

browse everyday on the lomo site and get to know

more about the "lomo-community" and just about

anything you need to know about the lomoworld!

errr.im just way behind i guess. so far, i have only

posted 3 albums, each barely containing 2-3 pixies.

there are even more photos posted here in my blog

than in my account in lomo.

oh well, at least i'm starting to have "likes" na.

hahaha baws-baws ragud ang style diay!

weeee. looking forward for more holga trips! :)

woah

rabbits

more reasons to dislike bunny rabbits.

creepy!

AFFIXATION REMORSE

wow! never thought that such term even existed until

i came across one of the posts from lomo's website.

when i was a kid i was one of those who gets pleasure

in purchasing those sticky printed stuff---stickers!

and then sticking them!

i can still remember the feeling i had everytime

we go have groceries at robi and i have to wait for

my mom. then i get to pass that sticker store at

the same floor the grocery was. looking at those

sticky colorful stuff makes me really excited, i'd

even have to go check the store more than twice

to see what could be in store, then

in the end of the day, still i can't have what i want

coz i hate asking from my mom.haha. anyway,

sometimes i get lucky and get to purchase

sticky-stickersss..

i also remember way back gradeschool, one of my classmates

used to have all those imported stickers, which one could barely

find from our local bookstores.tsk.unlike today stickers

are everywhere!they are not as accessible then.hahaha

now back to affixation remorse..it says here that it is the

feeling when you get to stick a particular sticker in some

spot when you could have posted it better somewhere

else!haha! brings back memories when it takes me sooo

much time to decide where to put mee stickers on, or

should i use it on this one, maybe i could put it somewhere

nicer in the future..blahblahblah.hahaha

probably had this feeling for a lot of times already, but

i guess that's just part of the whole experience with

stickers! waaaw! haha but really, when i see some

old stickers in some surface, it sorts of give that certain

surface some attitude or history. something like that.

way back in highschool, when i see our neighbor's fridge

covered with maggi disney stickers, it reminded me of

how i was more interested in buying that brand so that

i could have those freeee stickers. samok lang jud ang

logo sa maggi. right now im looking for some good stickers

so i could stick it on mee holga. haha and now i have

this stickerbomb book on my table, with over 280 peelable

stickers as the cover of the book stated, may i peel at least 2

awesome stickers so that i could stick it then get the feeling

that i should have placed it somewhere better.

2nd roll

thanks to yobags for buying me this roll!

i greatly appreciate the good quality of images

compared to the ones i had on my first one.
probably the developing center would also matter.

whipit

just finished watching this mooveyy!

and yes! i dooo laaahveht! haha

made me think of the days when we

used to skate. before roller blades

became a fad we used to be so good

with the non-in-line ones! :)

happy birthday!

wanting to do such.wheheh

pleaseplease

i know my birthday's still in 8 months

and a good friend's birthday comes ahead

in 2 days, but i already have something

soo wanting to have. i don't dare to spend

anything more for now, coz my current financial

status is just too much(more like less) to bear.haha!

this here i what i would like to have. please can i have one?

my first holga expiiiryaaahns

been hooked with the song on the trailer as well...last year japon.;)

made me miss reading murakami's books. i don't know, probably coz

of the "short-story" style of the movie and the 'candid' stories portrayed.

i could read another murakami by then.
