The Vice

Along with your heart, wear this too on your sleeve

Whoever said it was only your heart you wear on your sleeve? With the new Tanduay Baller, you can show people that you're an alcoholic too.

I can't seemingly remember who of my three other housemates took this shot so I'll save the copyright some other time. Don't worry though anonymous housemate, we'll share the credits since I did the editing, which by the way included the lessening of noise (Thanks Noise Ninja!) and good old Phixr.com.

After the longest time, I finally got hold of my Nikon D40x again for me to take new photos last Saturday, March 13, 2010. And now I have my own place where I have all the time in the world, I can know brush up again on my skills.

I shot this photo of the staircase railings and composed it to make it look like a convergence of paths.

Disturbing the Still

Never, ever, disturb someone who's reading the morning paper

Seriously, don't you find it annoying if someone disturbs you while you're in your own world, reading the morning paper? You've got your pantulog on and your drinking your coffee while reading the folded morning paper in one hand then suddenly someone asks you to do something that takes away your attention from what's going on in the universe. So really, don't disturb anyone when they're practicing the solemn ritual of reading the news in the morning.

This photo was taken around December of 2008 with the standard Nikon 18-55 kit lens. Just like my previous post about the Baywalk, I skipped work that day and bought my SLR. How incredibly lazy of me.

All I Need Is A Light

Now all we need is a lighter and a few bottles of beer

Along with biting your nails and checking out ladies in short shorts and skirts, quitting cigarettes is one of the hardest things in the world. But hey, I didn't say it was impossible. You just need enough willpower, motivation, the right support group and a new addiction to get into.

This photo was taken last June 2008 at my former office's workstation using a Nikon D40x with its standard 18-55mm kit lens.

Tomorrow Is On Its Way

 

"There will always be a tomorrow"

I snapped this picture of the sunrise at some beach in Batangas last May 2008. And as I look back at it, I'm realizing that no matter how bad yesterday was or how crappy your day was today, there'll always be a new one waiting for you tomorrow. 

The True Meaning of the Season

"THIS is the true meaning of Christmas"

I shot this picture of the car's rosary way back last September 2008.

Fast forward to three months after: With the season in full swing, more and more people are constantly bitching about how they don't feel it's Christmas. It's always the same reasons - work, paychecks, traffic, the future and everything little thing we could place the blame on. To be honest, it's getting kinda emo-ish.

Why not get a cup of coffee (or a bottle of beer, if that's what you prefer), sit back, listen to some tunes and think of the good times instead of the bad? You're sure to see the brighter side of Christmas this year once you've done that.

An Empty Pair

"And emptiness came in a pair"

Having lunch at the office's pantry is sometimes sad. It makes you realize you still have a couple of lonely and excruciating hours left before you gather up your things, shut down your unit and head home to the comfort of your bed. And with that realization, you end up with more stress than you normally should have.

But there are times too when lunchtime at the pantry isn't that bad. Sometimes, the guys would start a riot and have the whole 6th floor bursting in laughter. And there are times too when moments like these suddenly pop up for me to capture.

I guess these chairs were also having an awful (and empty) time while everyone else is having their lunch.
