Five on Friday: Songs of a Happy Battle
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 [...]
Five on Friday: 2008 Stats
Published in the wee hours of January 2, 2009
The last time I ran these stats queries was in 2006; I totally forgot to do it for 2007. Fortunately, I remembered it today so I get to do it for 2008. Though I’m pleased that 2008 is now over, the numbers I churned out are not exactly that encouraging: Now let’s break it down. [...]
Five on Friday: Sabi ng Eraserheads…
Published in the wee hours of July 19, 2008
Totoo na daw talaga yung balita, tara, game na! Pero sandali eto muna, Five on Friday muna tayo, late nga lang, walang wifi kanina eh. (Okay lang, Friday pa naman sa ibang bansa ngayon.) Eto five song verses na feeling ko applicable sa e–heads reunion fever, uso daw ngayon eh. Naalala kita ilang bukas pa [...]
Five on Friday: Come to my window
Published in the late afternoon of March 7, 2008
Crawl inside, wait by the light of the moon. I am forsaking all the rest, just to reach you, just to reach you. Just to reach you. I don’t care what they think, I don’t care what they say. Come to my window, I’ll be home soon. This is my alternate set for the Epson [...]
Five on Friday: Batanes Photos
Published terribly early in the morning of February 22, 2008
Before I talk about the drama I’ve been selling in my previous entry, here’s five photos I submitted as my photo essay for our photo contest in Batanes. I didn’t win, but fortunately, my pangga Hana did! She got one of three special prizes, the other two going to Mimi and Ferdz. AJ got runner–up [...]
Five on Friday: Sunday Silence 2 Photos
Published in the early afternoon of December 28, 2007
“Go not gently into that good night, rage against the dying of the light.” Five photos from Sunday Silence 2, for my eternally delinquent Five on Friday series, on the last Friday of 2007. A good way to end FoF for this year, don’t you think? Photos, multiplied.
Five on Friday: Christmas Playlists
Published in the early evening of November 16, 2007
You know Christmas is almost here when you can hardly rise in the morning with the sleep–inducing cold weather, like yesterday. Combined the with rain, it feels like everyone is excused to take a short nap every few hours. Or minutes. Not that I’m exactly required to stay awake all day, unlike most corporate zombies, [...]
Five on Friday: 5AM, on Friday
Published in the wee hours of October 19, 2007
I’ve been meaning to resurrect my Five on Friday entries since I stopped publishing a few months ago. But as I struggle to keep up with my newfound busy sked, unexpected things happen. I realized, I couldn’t keep on waiting for the “right time” — there isn’t. At least for a lot of things. So [...]
Five on Friday: Why take the freelancing plunge?
Published in the wee hours of June 18, 2007
I’ve been pondering on dumping my day job to be a full–time freelancer on anything under the sun. Seriously, problogging while taking web development and design plus the occasional photography project should be enough to get me by, while enjoying the other wonderful things in life. I’ve come to a point where I think I [...]
Five on Friday: Photography quotes
Published late at night of June 11, 2007
Yeah, I know it’s now Monday. As you may already know, taking photos is one of my passions, one I’d do without any financial or material gains. Photography is a convenient artistic escape; at its purest, you need only please yourself. You need not conform to irrational “artistic rules” or subcultures imposed by society, your [...]
