hal-o-win

So now I have an internet connection on my workstation at work. So then what? It dosn't lessen the workload, it doesn't augment my scedule and definitely not going to raise my salary. So there.

just a bad case of a work rant syndrome.

So now it's halloween. People are expecting that a lot of ghouls and ghosts would show themselves and spook everybody in this religion-crazed, superstition induced society. But, as a matter of fact, these creatures of the night are everywhere anytime of the day. People love to be scared then shun it away then crave for it another day. It's a vicious cycle.

I'm going to be having fun with Doods, my camera, tonight and tomorrow. Just play with available light. I dunno, I just feel like taking pictures at this time of the year. And it's not about taking a chance that somehow a spectre or whatever shows up inside the picture where it shouldn't be. I just feel like it. I think this season is really SOULful, hekhekhek. I know that's lame, so someone kill me now.

I'm just forcing myself to write a post actually. I just wanted to have an entry dated with Oct. 31st.

I am just passing time here in the office since we are all too lazy to work. The HR just announced that we can leave early today. Yay! Everybody is listening intently to the tick tock of the clock. Glancing at it while its hands slowly move.

Is it Salary day today? I hope so. An officemate is leaving and it's his last day here today. So everybody here is on the prowl, ready to pounce on him and compel him to treat us all to some coffee or any other munchables.

*bow!*

work, nan, etc.

So I haven't been updating since last week. Not that I am requiring myself to update every single day. I feel that I had a lot to blog about and yet my opportunity to do so always slips away from my fidgeting fingers. I blame it on my new job.

I started working in a place where people are such angels but the work itself is a bitch. Add to that the lack of internet connection on my workstation, we now have a one-way ticket to nooninu land. And now I am not in good terms with sleep, so rings of unflattering effects are now imbued around my eyes. I have bouts with drowsiness in the office which leaves drool dripping from my lips. I now discover the wonders of coffee drinking. I look like I'm on smack.

Good thing I get to watch free movies once in a while.

For months now, I have been craving for the pungent taste of Indian Cuisine. I have been daydreaming its flavors swirling around my tongue as it leaves its mark to linger even after digestion. I have been yearning for its aroma full of various spices. I miss the intoxicating effects it creates. I fear that I am now a slave of this renowned food.

Breadtalk sells nans. But, it isn't just the same as the authentic one. And its not just the curry.

I got to get my ass moving a little bit with my photography lest I meet its demise. My friends have been going around well with theirs. My classmates in the workshop still have this maintained energy level. They have lots of plans of out of town trips. And here I am blogging. 'nuff said.

-=-=-

I am so uninspired, but still I am happy.

Other people are waiting for their rockets to come, I'm just waiting for the swift hammer blow of a Eureka! moment to sneak up on me and drag me away.

FELIXBERTO + JANELLI = BERTINELLI *YAY!*

After 8 loooong years of tireless waiting, Jan and Bong are now getting hitched! *insert applause here*

The stars of the now defunct reality based show, "Lifestyles of the Plain and Boring", have been going to Sm Southmall for their dates for 8 long ("long" being an understatement) years. Aside from the mall being the nearest place to Jan's house, it is primarily for "the peace of mind" of her mother. For the most part of the couple's relationship, the soon -to-be-wifey just couldn't understand the dating ideologies of her doting mother:

1. Why go to Makati if there is an SM southmall a stone's throw away from home? therefore... leaving the south is not a good idea...
2. No Watching Movies. If you insist... then tell me why do you have to watch a movie... *raised eyebrows and folded arms*

After the initial confusion and indignation, they resigned to the fact that they could only do two things together lest they taste the wrath of the MOTHER; go to SM and stare at each other at home. As soon as the mall closes at 9pm, they promptly go home and stay in the living room without a single thing to entertain themselves. Another challenge is their differing interests, as they end up talking about the silliest of things. The man being into politics and the woman being into Showbiz gossip. Get the picture? They catch up on each other's experiences since they only see each other at around 6-8x a month. Quite a challenge it is to keep things together for individuals who are into adventure.

Though there is one thing that binds them. Both are dreamers. They usually talk about their dreams without a care if it ever comes true or not. For these dreams served as their fuel for their Love to keep things warm.

In all those years they never got tired of each other.

What they do might be a routine but each other's company is what all that matters. A companionship that would withstand the test of time.

Thus, the couple see themselves growing old together.

Therefore, Let us all raise our glasses as we give a toast to their enduring love for each other, as they enter another phase in their relationship, as their lives cross paths and merge into one.

*as i have written in their site

41 days to go! Goodluck!

Blah blahs and blahs

A few days ago, I went to SM Megamall to have my cameras fixed. And I have to say that thisphotography business is no joke when it comes to money. (Ginto!) i had the service quoted and the technician came up with the price of Ten grand. So yeah, shit.

Like everyone else, when I was a kid, I dreamed of being an astronaut. But since I have a hate relationship with math, I decided to just look for another dream and let go of it. So imagine how I felt when my aunts brought me to the NASA Space center when I visited them in houston. It was so cool, I went back into being a child. I was running around wide-eyed, fascinated with everything. Although what's left of that memory is that one keychain with a souvenir photo in it. Everything else, My creative shots of scrap space shuttles among others, were under-exposed or not bottled up. Aargh.

The worst thing that could happen that I very fear is that of my spirit breaking. When something or someone breaks your resolve into something and as well as taking away your passion for something you really love and enjoy. I live for passion in things I love to do. If you take away those things--hope, joy, hapiness--madness takes over. Or worse, a life without vigor and love for living. An empty shell parading as a mindless drone.

Today is Friday. I would be picking up the cameras now. I have an assignment with a deadline on Sunday 12nn. So, I only have almost more than a day to finish two submissions of portrait with natural light and still-life. Good luck to me.
