I answered some psych stuff and here are the results...

Get to know yourself better

Your view on yourself:

Other people find you very interesting, but you are really hiding your true self. Your friends love you because you are a good listener. They'll probably still love you if you learn to be yourself with them.

The type of girlfriend/boyfriend you are looking for:

You like serious, smart and determined people. You don't judge a book by its cover, so good-looking people aren't necessarily your style. This makes you an attractive person in many people's eyes.

Your readiness to commit to a relationship:

You are ready to commit as soon as you meet the right person. And you believe you will pretty much know as soon as you might that person.

The seriousness of your love:

Your have very sensible tactics when approaching the opposite sex. In many ways people find your straightforwardness attractive, so you will find yourself with plenty of dates.

Your views on education

Education is very important in life. You want to study hard and learn as much as you can.

The right job for you:

You have plenty of dream jobs but have little chance of doing any of them if you don't focus on something in particular. You need to choose something and go for it to be happy and achieve success.

How do you view success:

You are afraid of failure and scared to have a go at the career you would like to have in case you don't succeed. Don't give up when you haven't yet even started! Be courageous.

What are you most afraid of:

You are afraid of things that you cannot control. Sometimes you show your anger to cover up how you feel.

Who is your true self:

You are mature, reasonable, honest and give good advice. People ask for your comments on all sorts of different issues. Sometimes you might find yourself in a dilemma when trapped with a problem, which your heart rather than your head needs to solve.

Sorry Che I can't answer this...

How do you get over someone you wouldn't want to get over with in the first place?

How do you tell yourself that everything is OK when you feel like your world is not the same anymore since he came?

How do you regret the second chance you took with him when you know it was well worth it coz you might not be able to have another?

How do you make yourself numb when you have been so clueless for so many years about dealing with heartbreak?

I thought i was strong enough for this but unfortunately, i am just like other people who break apart when love comes along..

*shoot!! who would have thought i will be saying all these things?! I am so used to dealing with other's love problems because i had nothing to fret about love. And now i do and i just hate feeling this..*

We had an argument.
then out of the blue

you hit me.

hit me with force.
Never thought you could do that.

I thought I knew you.
But now I know you more

It's the first time someone did that
and you never said sorry.

I promise you it will never happen again... EVER!

Demmet!

A friend of mine just sent me this image. i don't know why. maybe to cheer me up? I wonder. oh well... i'll just share it here...

If Karma Were True...

Then my new year's wish would be a reversal of this wretched fate. Or if not, a deep and true understanding of my current karmic cycle.

Everything is in a disarray. Everything doesn't make sense now. The light of clarity evades my grasp. I am lost.

Can someone just pass by and save me from this? I'm drowning and gasping for air. Someone stop this unrelenting rain.

no matter how hard we try, we find our way back with each other.
I know it doesn't make sense. But here we are.

You are fine. You are nice. There might be sparks but, I don't want to be into you. I think I can only start seeing you If I know for sure that it is safe. No doubts. 'Coz you are not the only one in my mind.

Will you stick with me or will you just walk away? you don't have to worry. I am used to it. Let's figure this out one last time. Will you whisk me away and make me forget? Too bad, you have me with a fucked up mind.

I'm sorry but, I must be fair.

What is the difference between loving a person and being in love with a person?

Loving a person is giving what you have. Doing what you can for the other. You will never want to hurt the person. In Love? It's being stupid and losing yourself. A blur of passion and reason. You will do anything and even an extra mile for the person that you are in love with. Being in love is giving more what you can offer. A leap of faith. An acceptance of everything.

To love is a choice but to be in love, well you just find yourself in it.

You can never really define the difference between the two.

But, I know that I am still "in love" with someone. Something that is wrong and never should be anymore. I know I can't and I shouldn't but still I do. And it pains me everyday. I want it to end already to make it go away. But it's hard. I'm surprised I'm having a hard time about it.

I'm just a fucked up guy searching for his own peace of mind. I'm not perfect.

zero to none

All I wanted was to just live in a peaceful and very neutral life. A life devoid of battles and drama. A perfect picture of a lazy old man sitting by the edge of a stream and waiting for fish to tug at the line.

But, growth jumps on you with a serious thump.

Instead, I get a barrage of serious blows to the face that leave me toothless, weak-kneed and bruised. A very despicable scene where you hear the crowd cheering on for my demise. I barely roll with the punches and get hit by the boot a thousand times.

And yet I still manage to stand up and dust myself off, bravely wearing my scars. Steadily walking towards the next tempest of madness with a glimmer in the eye and a broken smile.

yep

Even in the darkest hour,
the light of hope springs eternal...

Never give up.

Good Luck

Juno: so... I'm sorry... I've thought about it very hard. Really really hard and it's this...
Mac:...
Juno: We're not ready and we seem to just be using each other. Maybe it shouldn't be us. Maybe we have this to make us realize how f*%ked up we are. We couldn't just fool each other, fool ourselves and other people forever. I just want to make it clean.
Mac: I agree. We shouldn't just crap anytime, anywhere or with anyone. I know it's wrong and I've been denying it. I'm sorry, too... So, this is it I guess...
Juno: I think so. It's for the better... We don't want to end up getting trapped and hurt in the long run.
Mac: I like you, you know? I was willing to give it a chance.
Juno: But, It's not enough.
Mac: I know...

Mac: I wonder what will happen to us... will we ever get saved?
Juno: The only saving that we can get is from ourselves...
Mac: Good luck...

Got hammered really well that night. I enjoyed the sights and sounds, thanks to Margarita King's shot Me Babies... Then off we went to Jack's Loft (an ample name) to cap the night with food and drinks. Then, thinking that the night wasn't finished, we dashed to Katipunan to water the whole night's buzz with several Red Horses and Granmas at the Meatshop. No wonder we ended up sleeping over at Armi's place in Antipolo.

Lines and Rules

It's all about lines. The finish line at the end of a challenge. Waiting in line for a chance to be on the spotlight. And then there's the most important line, the line separating you from the people you work with. It doesn't help to get too familiar. To make friends. You need boundaries between you and the rest of the world. Other people are far too messy. It's all about lines. Drawing lines in the sand, and praying like hell nobody crosses them.

At some point, you have to make a decision. Boundaries don't keep other people out, they fence you in. Life is messy, that's how we're made. So you can waste your life drawing lines or you can live your life crossing them. But, there are some lines that are way too dangerous to cross.But, here's what I know: If you're willing to throw caution to the wind and take a chance, the view from the other side might be spectacular.

-0-0-0-0

Intimacy is a four syllable word for: Here is my heart and soul, please grind into a hamburger and enjoy. It's both desired, and feared. Difficult to live with, and impossible to live without. Intimacy also comes attached to various things. There are some things you can't escape. And other things you just don't want to know.

I wish there were a rulebook for intimacy. Some kind of guide to tell you when you've crossed the line. It would be nice if you could see it coming, and I don't know how you fit it on a map. You take it where you can get it, and keep it as long as you can. As for rules, maybe there are none. Maybe the rules of intimacy are something we have to define for ourselves.

Encounter

Last night

As I was walking past your office building
you chased after me

you said hi. I said hello
You asked if I was okay, and I weakly said yes.
You smiled and I was okay.

I want to make a step after all.

Shackled. curled.

Never expected to feel this so soon. So foolish. I am cloaked with confusion and at the same time with fear. I am not supposed to feel this way with you. But, every signal in my body , every electrical impulse that speeds past my nerves convulse with elation.

Wounds are wounds even if they don't hurt anymore. And yet you still poke it with your fingertips. You don't know where I came from nor I with where you're from. But, we are heading towards the same direction.

I am staked where I am. I fear making a step. This shoudn't have happened anyway. Damn you, this is all your fault.

All Hallow's Eve

An unbelievable season of loss and gain. Never expected to survive. Surprisingly, my life is not that spooky like before. Perhaps, I have been through worse to consider menial things to be horrendous.

We all need answers

They say I have the gift in finding answers for other people regarding their lives.

But, I never find answers for my own.

I just need one. At least once.
to have someone find answers for me.
in this crazy little world.

Just once
someone might just happen to pass by
and share his umbrella
and hide me from this unrelenting rain.

Rising again

Surprisingly.
as days go by
I learn to smile at the sunset.

I have no fear of the darkness.
there's no need to.

I just need to remember
that I should not forget the sunrise.

I don't need to try any longer
I just have to let it be
and let myself find me on its own.

Really, I am...

I may seem silent and still.
But, the war and chaos still rages on inside me.
When will I get a truce?

I Just Can't Find Myself...

Contrary to the fact that I am wearing a yin-yang earring, I am in a disarray. A lot of things in my life have tipped the balance and now I am in a state of confusion. And I am hating it. Very. No matter how hard I try to just shove it back to its usual balance, I just can't seem to put it back. No matter how hard I deny it, the more it take its toll on me. I guess I just have to let it flow.

I can't believe and won't accept that these things happened because of certain things. I just can't.

One thing I hate about it the most is that somehow it changed me. Against my will and I am afraid that I will never be the same old guy I used to be and I was comfortable with the old me. I can't seem to enjoy the things I usually enjoy. Whenever I try doing those things I just end up disappointed and confused. I miss everything about me. I miss shooting for my photography and it is a big chunk of who I really was. But, I won't give up on that yet. Not just yet. I miss shooting. And I will really try hard to get back on it. It is my dream career after all.

Hoooboy, When will I get myself back? When will I find myeslf again? I hope I do, somewhere, somehow.

and i ramble again...

The Dating Persona

The Boy Next Door Random Gentle Love Dreamer (RGLD) http://panther.is0.okcupid.com/graphics/persons/RGLDm.gif" alt="The Boy Next Door" style="float: left;"> Kind, yearning, playful, you are The Boy Next Door. You're looking for real Love, a lot like girls do. It might not be manly, but it's sweet. We think the next three years will be very exciting and fruitful ones for you. Your spontaneous, creative side makes you a charming date, and we think you have a horny side just waiting to shine. Or glisten, rather. You enter new relationships unusually hopeful, and the first moments are especially glorious. If you've had some things not work out before, so what. On paper, most gay guys would name the Boy Next Door as their ideal mate. In the real world, however, you're often passed over for more dangerous or masculine men. You're the typical "nice guy:" without just a touch of cockiness, you're doomed with boys. A shoulder to cry on? Okay, sure. But never a penis to hold. More than any other type, Boys Next Door evolve as they get older. As we said, many find true love, but some fail miserably in the search. These tarnished few grow up to be The Men Next Door, who are creepy as hell, offering backrubs to kids and what not.

and before i return to slumber...

Here I am. Woke up in the middle of the night. Woke up on the witching hour. Wondering (or worrying?) of what is in store for me within the days ahead. I can hear the loud chirping of cicadas outside. Echoing throughout the night. An echo that stirs wildly at my self that makes me anxious of my dreamless sleep. For unimaginative slumbers and anchored consciousness. Marooned indefinitely.

I am empty. Fill me up to the brim and I shall be in gratitude.

When shall I smile? A smile that tugs me from the inside. And since my mind is numbed from the sudden rise from slumber, I shall succumb to it again. Funny how your mind refuses to give you words when in half-dimwittedness. I need help. My soul is drowning in darkness. I need vision. Goodnight.

Honestly...

I'm mad at myself, not you. I'm mad for always being nice. I'm mad for always apologizing for things i didn't do. I'm mad for getting attached. I'm mad for depending on you and wasting my time on you. I'm mad for thinking about you, and most of all for loving you when I shouldn't have.

Ulan nga naman...

Ang lakas nanamn ng ulan. Kung kelan nga naman hindi na ako nagdala ng payong para maiwasang mabasa.

Eto, cia namang lakas ng buhos na parang sinasabing, "Akala mo nakalusot ka na, no?"

Kung kelan nga naman ako nakalimot na, cia namang babalik ang bagay na ayaw ko ng balikan pa.

Kung kelan nasanay ka nang maaliwalas ang panahon, saka naman biglang darating ang panahon na magpapa alala sayo ng lahat.

"Musta ka na?" tanong nia.

"Eto, ok naman."

Magpapa alalang hindi ka pa pala nakalimot. Hindi ka pa pala tuluyang natuyo.

"Sana naging tayo, no?" sinabi nia.

Bigyan naman sana ako ng panahon para magpatuyo. Ayoko na ng ulan.

"Panu un, nagtalo na tayo nung huli? Sabi mo ayaw mo na." sagot ko..

"Wag na nating pag usapan un. Kalimutan na natin ung dati."

Maghihintay na lang cguro ako ng dadaan na may dalang payong.

Baka sakaling kahit malakas ang bagyo, mtulungan niya ako hanggang sa umaliwalas uli ang panahon.

A Taste of Rock Candy

We have never tried hanging out at Rock Candy before. Perhaps it wasn't our scene. But, due to pre-production meetings on a friday night, we ended up partying there and playing with Joy's and my camera.

Click on the image for the album.

Salamat, Seat No. 57A. ==> from JM!

Ngayon na ang alis ko. Sa tagal ng panahon na ginugol ko para sa desisyon kong 'to, ngayon na ang araw. Masakit pero hanggang dito na lng ang kaya ko.

Tinawag na ang mga pasaherong sasakay patungo sa ibang bansa.

Dala ang gamit ko, sabi nga ni John Lapuz, "Diz iz it!"

Pasakay na ako sa eroplano. Eroplanong magdadala sa akin sa ibang mundo. Malayo sa kinagisnan ko. Malayo sa mga naranasan ko.

Mabuti na cguro ung ganito. Malayo. Nakakalungkot na nakakakaba dahil magsisimula uli ako. Panibagong pakikipagsapalaran. Panibagong buhay.

Pagtingin ko sa aking ticket, Seat 57B. Sayang, isa na lng, ako na ung nasa may bintana. Paboritong lugar ko pa naman un. Ok lang, ganun tlga.

Pagkalagay ko ng aking gamit sa itaas, umupo na ako at kinuha ko na agad ang headset ng eroplano para makinig ng music. Wala sa mood para makipagsosyalan sa kung cnu man ang aking makakatabi. Sana pipi para d ko na cia kelangan intindihin.

"Excuse me." sabi ng isang pasahero habang tinapik niya ang aking balikat.

Malamang ito na ung makakatabi ko. Mukha namang tahimik at magalang. Ok na rin cguro to.

"Sorry." sagot ko. At padahan akong umurong para makadaan cia.

Pagkaupo niya, ginawa nia din ang ginawa ko. Mabuti para d na din ako maistorbo. Ng biglang,

"First time mo?" tanong niya bago ko pa man ibalik ang headset sa tenga ko.

"Hindi. Pang anim na." sagot ko. Nakalimutan ko na din ung una kong naramdaman pagkasakay ko doon.

"Ah. First time ko. Bakit ka aalis?"

"Tapos na ang buhay ko rito. Wala na akong babalikan. Ikaw?"

"Baligtad naman tayo.Babalikan ko ang nakaraan ko."

Baligtad nga kami. Nakakatuwang isipin, iba't-ibang pasahero, iba't-ibang mga dahilan kung bakit aalis.

Lumipad na ang eroplano. Kasabay ng huli kong pagtingin sa nakaraan ko.

Hindi na ako babalik.

"Magpapakasal na kami." sagot nia ulit nung napansin niang natulala ako.

Napangiti na lng ako sa sinagot nia.Naisip ko, ako kaya, maranasan ko ung ngiti ng mga mata niya? Maranasan ko kaya ung tuwa ng pagkakwento niya?

Malamang, hindi. Nasa magkaiba kami ng estado sa buhay.

Naalala ko kung bakit ako lilipad. Tama nga cguro ang desisyon ko.

Dalawang buwan na ang nakaraaan. Maulan. Kausap ko cia sa may waiting shed.

"Hanggang dito na lang tayo." malungkot niang sinabi sa akin.

"Hindi ba ako karapat dapat na ipagtanggol?"

Hindi na cia sumagot. Hindi na niya kailangan sumagot dahil doon pa lang, alam ko na.
Dahan-dahan akong bumalik ng bahay habang tahimik na umiiyak.
Tapos na. Hindi ko man lang alam kung paano kami umabot sa ganun.

Nakatulog pala ako. Pagkagising ko, hinahanda na ang kakainin namin.

"Ang sarap ng tulog mo. Nakakainggit ka." sabi ng katabi ko.

"Pagod lang siguro." habang nakangiti kong sinagot ang sinabi nia.

Hindi naman ako dapat kainggitan.

Limang oras na pala ang nakalipas. Malapit na kaming makarating. Naghanda na din ako sa panibagong haharapin.

Hindi na ako babalik. PInakawalan ko na ang bahaging iyon ng buhay ko.

Pagkadating namin sa airport, nag ayos na ako ng gamit para lumabas. Nung lahat ay nakalabas na at palabas na ng room para salubungin ang mga tao, napansin ko si Seat No. 57A.

Nakangiti. Tinungo ko ang dahilan ng kanyang ngiti. Mukhang iyon ang kanyang mapapangasawa.

Salamat, Seat No. 57A. Dahil sayo, may pag asa pa cguro ako.

"Hindi ba ako karapat dapat na ipagtanggol?" naalala ko ang nasabi ko nung gabing yun.

Tumalikod ako. Tinungo ang labasan. Baka dito ko makita ang hinahanap ko.

Hindi na ako babalik.

SOS

Sometimes I wonder what the heck I am doing right now and for the succeeding days that follows. Sometimes I do get lost and loose myself every once in a while. And afterwards it is all still the same. No change. No purging. No vivid realizations. All that is left of me are pieces of broken shards pieced together sloppily with crazy glue. Highly volatile and most likely to cave in.

Please whisk me away... Anywhere. Somewhere.

I am standing on the edge. Leaning.

Pililla, Rizal. 2007 Birthday

The light of the morning sun
filters into the little room.

The memories of children playing
traipses about, climbing up the ceiling
and running around the room.

I see you, gazing outside.

Where have you gone?
What have you learned?

My Visual DNA

Read my VisualDNA™ Get your own VisualDNA™

Bah!

I woke up with two distinct headaches in my head. Just right above my temple. Hiding underneath a blanket of my thick and unruly hair.

I was quite a moody person actually that day. I can feel the jolly jolly mood prancing around me, scattering petals of spring flowers stowed in a ribbon-clad basket, freshly picked from the highest mountain peaks. As I burn every petal with this devious mood. I feel like I am growing horns.

Luck has decided to hide around corners of halls and underneath staircases. As battalions of annoyances marched forth towards me. I got a stick of cigarette and lit up. Inhaling and exhaling the sweet smoke filled with nicotine. Intoxicating? yes. Satisfying? yes.

My eyes followed the stream of smoke coming from my cigarette as it led my eyes to the unfailing brilliance of the moon. The sky is clear. The moon almost full.

"That's why!", I thought. Answers flooded my mind.

Another one lost...

Kurt Vonnegut just died at the age of 84... Dammit!!

Better rush to the nearest bookstore and buy all his titles...

And yes, I am still in the office due to added responsibilities and work load.

So my YM status message in the next few days will be: DND or Die

So much for the weekend vacation... hehehehe....

Shapes, Texture, Color, People.

The things that caught my eye during the holy week 2007. It may be far-off from the season, but I still like these shots. I never went out the house for the longest time, that's why. And the only time I went out, these are the only shots that I took. No need to be spiritual with my photos. I did enough of that at home. Thanks to my 1MP PDA camera.

Reflection

Alone together in the darkness, I learned the meaning of your tears.

You saw zooming comets and swirling galaxies in your journey to find peace.

Tears pour down from a clear blue sky. Someday they'll change into a smile.

Sleep. For tomorrow you slay your demons.

Snapshots # 3

Antipolo. Amici. Starbuck's. Yellow Cab. Flights of fancy, exploits in a whim.

Because everyone else is boring. And because you are different.

Where do we go now? In our world of pure elation.

Bolinao madness

It's a difficult thing to fight away paranoia.

I had paranoia with my settings therefore, I overdid my shots. I am not proud of my shots because I know that I could have done better. Although, I will still share these pictures because it was one hell of a trip. I did enjoy my trip there and these people are cool models.

Bolinao Batch 1

My first trip to Bolinao, Pangasinan with some of my new found friends. We frolicked in the sun and sand like there is no tomorrow. There was skimming and frisbee, all you need for a good time. and of course, food. Hehehehe! Here are pictures taken with my PDA phone. SLR pics to follow until i have it processed already. Damn 35mm! but, still cool. har har!

Snapshots #2

This is just another round of random photoness produced with a mobile phone camera and PDA camera. So, these are just inanimates, resident camwhores, senseless subjects and the like. You may or may not enjoy these photos, but I am still posting these anyway. Nyahahaha!

Wolfgang/ Razorback Alive 2007

We got free tickets because of work but, we had to go and traverse on the ledge of Music Museum to install streamers. This Event taught me a lot about exposure in low light situations. Because, as usual, I did manual settings and just approximate lighting conditions due to that I don't have a light meter and i'm using film. I should have trusted my hunches instead of getting paranoid and setting the shutter speed slower. And bringing a tripod is always handy. Well, that's what it's all about... experimenting and practice. so next time i will get rockin' photos! Well, we enjoyed the concert anyway! it was so sublime! You could feel the electrfying energy bouncing around the place. That's Wolfgang and Razorback for you! Basti, Kevin.. Salute!

Starbuck's escape

Peachie, my associate, and I were sick and tired of work stuff and the demands of our bossing. So, we decided to go and make an escape to the nearest Starbuck's for our own dose of caffeine fix. And since I had a PaS camera on hand I decided to turn her into a camwhore. Click on the picture for more of the rebellion.

Wow works

Just sharing my characters in World of Warcraft. It took a lot of hard work to raise their levels and collect good equipment for them.

Blagag!

Here I am to where I think I am happy. Here I am to the direction I wanted to go. But, still I am left with a broken spirit shattered to a thousand shards scattered in all directions.

Just when you think you recover from one near fatal blow to another, you are confronted with the aftershocks and a fresh batch of setbacks and barriers as if it wasn't enough. You are brainwashed to the truth that the sunrise exists for a blazing, darkening sunset. And you just have hope to keep you going. Never knowing to what lengths it would take you.

And still you fall face flat on the floor. And still you forge on. and on. and on. Thinking that beating yourself with a nice and sturdy baseball bat clenched in your fists feels better. Or maybe not.

November 18, 2006. The Wedding

As I said, I wasn't able to take pictures of the church wedding and the reception because I was busy. No help from my trusty camera who at the last minute broke down. So I had to use a less trusty camera, where I have to do manual light metering with only my hunches. Shiyet! Here are the times when I was able to grab my camera and shoot away.

Lo and Behold!

The Impossible List

It's christmas once again and sooner or later you will see the streets of metro manila at it's busiest and the brightest. Since it is the season of giving, I am now organizing my christmas list for 2006 and afterwards join the bustle of the malling crowd.

First thing comes to mind: budget. I checked my account and money around my secret places and discovered I am low on funds!! oh my golay! Shiyeeeet! Therefore, I decided to do some scavenge and bargain hunting. I guess, it's not so bad, at least I get to have one last adventure this year!

-=-=-

Speaking of christmas lists, every person has his/her own wishlist for this season(or every year for that matter). Therefore I decided to list my own lusts/desires for this year, just for the sole purpose of slyly hinting people on what I want to recieve without getting embarassed...hekhekhek...

1. Nikon DSLR (preferably the d200 onwards.. but the new d40 is ok) - please help this poor soul hit it big with his career....
   
2. Sennheiser headphone - Someone please give me one, dammit!!! even the cheapest one...
3. Creative Neeon 2 - Something to keep the Sennheiser company...
   
4. LG Chocolate - A droolworthy phone I'm telling ya...
5. Sony Vaio - To complement the Nikon, teehee...
6. The Sandman Series, graphic novel (the complete set) - I have been eyeing these babies since last year but, I just can't get over the price... soon bebe... soon i'll get you...
7. XDA Atom - For the heck of it. I still need a PDA in my life. I'm lost without it.
8. Lens (for our PS2) - Our PS2 has been busted for months and it needs a new lens. Geezzz... FFXII is waiting for me rarrr....
9. Grey's Anatomy DVD (bootleg versoins are ok) - I have been lagging with my TV!! help!
10. Haruki Murakami novels - I love him. period.
    
11. Anything - it's the thought that counts (gasp!)

So yeah, it may be wishful thinking, but I didn't say the list was otherwise. Although, wouldn't it be delightful to recieve stuff from the impossible list!? I could die right there and then and then rise again to enjoy it. (what?! me!? fool?!)

No time for me, sister's wedding

November 18, 2006 was a momentous occasion for our family.

To my dismay, I wasn't able to take pictures of my sister's wedding because I was busy with a lot of stuff, besides the wedding coordinators harassing the Maid of Honor and I. So, I only got pictures of stuff mostly non-wedding related. But, I am using film so no chance for you top see the results now.

In that light, I would just like to share the blogs of their videographer and photographers. When it comes to what they do, they do it the best. I would just like to extend my thanks to them and all of their other suppliers for making their wedding extra special. It's SUPER guys!

Umaga Lang ang Pahinga

Just sharing a picture that I took during an office outing in Tagaytay.(because... wala lang!).


History:

The guy by the staircase has a notorious history of harassing the person by the benches and tables to death. Therefore, a very dubious shot of them.

The guy by the benches is somewhat my boss so... LAgot ako! hehehe. Although, he left and transferred to another better opportunity so I am a bit safe right unless I get hunted and impaled into the sidewalk with a wooden stake right up my ass.
