A Smile of Hope
Published mid-afternoon of December 12, 2007
The Pisay ’96 Streetkids Christmas Party is a project of our high school batch, just like the medical missions and other things we’ve done the past year or so. We understand that the long–term merits of a simple party may be questionable, but to put a smile of hope in these kids’ faces is more [...]
I dream that one day…
Published in the wee hours of November 9, 2007
… my photograph will be there. A photo I took, of course, not a portrait of me. It’s not too much to ask for the stars once in a while, in your dreams.
A blog in photos
Published in the wee hours of July 17, 2007
My life has now been limited to photos, or at least my blog. For now. At least I’m blogging again. Hehe. More photos from Mimi’s birthday celebration at Route 196. More photos from our Rocked Radio/NU107 invasion. Too bad we never tried the Airheads idea.
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 [...]
Five on Friday: A gentleman should…
Published in the wee hours of May 28, 2007
In today’s ever so changing times, men should still: Open the door for a lady. I guess this is one of the rather important acts of chivalry, and should never be taken for granted. When with a lady friend, or when entering a door alongside another person, especially a lady, open the door for both [...]
Five on Friday: Surprise Date Spots
Published in the wee hours of April 21, 2007
I’m running late as we’re leaving for Pangasinan in less than an hour. Yes, this entry’s missing my regular Five on Friday post by a few minutes, so this better be good. So let’s talk about dating. Specifically, little date spots you can take your sweetest thing to, on a whim, in the spur of [...]
In the fields
Published in the late afternoon of April 17, 2007
From the same set of photos from our high school batch’s medical mission: This weekend, April 21 & 22, Pisay ’96 will be at the Hundred Islands in Pangasinan for an Earth Day coastal cleanup. We are looking for volunteers who can lend a hand and somehow make a difference for the environment. Needless to [...]
Pisay ’96 Medical Mission
Published mid-afternoon of April 10, 2007
Similar to the Streetkids Christmas Party we had last December, our high school batch had a medical mission at Lubao, Pampanga last February. I’m not gonna explain nor justify our efforts, instead I’m gonna plead for support and progressive ideas as we take bolder steps to making a difference. Of course I took photos (mirror [...]
Another year…
Published in the early evening of March 5, 2007
I just found out I rarely write about my birthday on my birthday, and of the three references to this event on this weblog, only one was actually written on the exact date. And it didn’t make much sense, much like this one. On the eve of my 28th year of existence, we were just [...]
