Despedida de Junalen

--The Cat wears the hat!! Jona was forced to wear a hat while waiters were singing her a Happy Birthday--

Don Henrico's Manila
I've heard and experienced a lot of birthday gimmicks in restos, but this one is new. Imagine the service crew shoving a big birthday hat on my friend's head and singing her birthday wishes while it is not her birthday.

Bagets, Junalen Edward for short, will be going to Singapore to work. Leaving all of her friends here in Manila to wait for her gifts for them *wink.

Shooting @ Work

ELJ Building, ABS-CBN
When people get bored, they grab something. Some grab a book. Most grab their digital portable gaming consoles like PSPs. I, when boredom slams me into dullness, grab my ever lovely Boris my camera. Although, I admit I always try to find a chance and reason to shoot. But, this time I really was bored while waiting for my material at the editing bay and I decided to shoot a bit to pass the time.

Tuloy Po Kayo sa Balai

--Feeling Twilight! Ylang-Ylang Leaves straight from the trees!--

March 28-29, 2009
Club Balai Isabella
Talisay, Batangas

We were invited by the owner of the Resort to this very welcoming and very homey place right smack below the mountains of Tagaytay. My Friend, Chard, was hit by a very nasty migraine and the owner of the place had her people pick some Ylang - Ylang blossoms from their estate. All in all it was a very tranquil and very fun place to visit even for the weekends. Try hitting it up on google for their very affordable rooms and villas.

Live in the Flesh!

My close friend and former housemate Ninoy migrated to Singapore to work in better pastures. But, homesickness struck him and went on a vacation for a short time back here. We had a get together that started with a videoke-thon at Music 21 then ended up with an all-nighter at O-bar Malate. Then we have the girl in the pic...

New Eastwood Mall, Libis, Q.C.

I was invited to take photos of the channel's launch of their new prime time block and their new look. The event was graced with overwhelming sponsors of drinks and food that really set the mood of the night right. Then, the crowd was bedazzled by a spectacular fireworks display at the zenith of the program.

Late Entrance, Late Exit. Hindi ata Dramatic.

1 Esplanade

A wedding that I yet again had a grand entrance by being a bit late. Drinks and laughs with college friends while listening to the vocal wailing of Elly Buendia just next door in the Eheads concert.

A sunrise ceremony that celebrated the union of two hearts brought together by the conspiring Universe.

Who would have thought that this ceremony would be such a bittersweet activity combining a headache and joyousness of the event.

Pyschotic run...

Where am I headed? Saan ako pupulutin?

All through out a quarter of a century of my life I never felt my life amounted to something. This is not me being emo, mind you. I am way past that stage. It doesn't suit me anyway. All this mumbo jumbo post is me expressing this disconcerting feeling within.

Everything that is happening within me, I couldn't understand it. All jumbled up within my heart and mind that I just would like to burst it all out of me. But, I can't do that. And after all.. nothing will happen if I do that.

Younger, I always believed that I am slated to do noteworthy things that could move a lot of people. Years and years later, the only thing I moved was my butt from one work to another. Wihout a measly penny in my bank account nor a feather on my cap. And now my thoughts and emotions are so unstable that I drift within... and this is not just your ordinary quarter life crisis.

I should be at least happy right now. I'm not even content. Am I being impatient? After seeing everybody around me doing their thing and being recognized as one of the best, knowing that you could even do what the other does twice as great, makes me think if I am going the right way and path. I hope I know what I am looking for.

Perhaps, I'm just psychotic.
