Published at around evening time of March 6, 2009
On this Friday (030609) we are supposed to talk about the great mysteries of life — living and dying. With the news of Francis Magalona’s passing away, I went for my archives with a vague memory that I’ve written something relevant to my intended topic. And there it was: Her story is one filled with [...]
A Practice in Creativity
Published at around evening time of June 26, 2008
Once in a while, we desperately need to practice our brain’s creative side just to make sure it works as expected when needed. Not many of us are actually blessed with a day job that pushes the limits of our creative bounds, which is probably why most of us turn to photography and/or writing for [...]
Hot, hot summer

This is the first photo I took that got published in a magazine, used as a whole page background for an article I wrote for the May–June issue of Mobile Philippines, the one with Priscilla Meirelles on the cover.

Reading Zeldman’s latest entry “Hi, Mom!”, I recall the not too recent times when I was just trying to learn basic web design, when I would religiously go to zeldman.com everyday to learn on the technical and philosophical aspects of the practice.
