KC

Meet my girlfriend KC. She's a fashion stylist.

Matakaw, makulit, mabait pero masungit minsan, sweet, etc... =D
Pareho kaming tupac fan, scorpio, mahilig kumain (pero ako lang yung tumataba), mahilig manood ng DVD... Pucha! basta masaya ako! kailangan ko pa ba explain yun?

All photos done with available light. Walang ibang edit... yung pag convert lang to B&W. I wanted a nice blur in some of the photos. So para sa mga magcocomment na blurry yung picture ayan naunahan ko na kayo. hindi porket blurry panget at hindi lahat ng picture na malinaw ay maganda. umiinit ulo ko ah. hahaha! Ize and kc had a shoot with in Joachim Bondoc for powercast ... ayun syempre dala ko cam ko tapos nagshoot na rin kami after ng shoot nila. hehehe!

Typhoon Milenyo

I woke up that morning and tumigil mundo ko... I’ve seen typhoons before and thought this one will be the like all the others. I was just looking out my window watching the strong wind do its damage. This is by far the strongest typhoon I have seen. I wanted to check on all the people “I give a fuck about” (Astig way of saying people I care about) but couldn’t kasi walang signal phone ko. SUNCELL BULOK!!! PAKSHET!!!

Hmmm... No electricity, no internet, mainit, etc… Hassle talaga!

Ang hirap mag English! My nose is bleeding na! OMG!!!

But it was a good weekend for me… Got to spend more time with family and friends. Usually syempre in the real world may trabaho mga tao, may school si baby Dre, Bek and cousins ko. Wala akong kaagaw na TV or computer (cousins ko nalang) kay Dre. Played poker with my cousins, tong-its with mama and papa, went to the mall to buy Mich a gift, (Happy Birthday MICH! Much Love! Edit mo nga to ang gulo ko magsulat) that night Inuman and barbeque sa court for her birthday. The next day we went to greenbelt to watch game 2 of the UAAP finals, tapos sa gabi birthday parin ni mich sa citrus naman! Sunday naman poker night. Natapos din 2^nd place streak ko and ako na nanalo ngayon… natapos na rin 2 drunken weeks. Ako lang walang absent shet!!! 13 days na inuman! Sumobra pa ng 1 day!

Sana wala kayong pasok lahat! Search nyo yung word na “RESIGN” sa internet. Merong ganon… pwede nyo gawin yun. ANG SAYA!!!

Overdrive!

Alam mo mayron akong pangarap sa buhay...
Sana matupad na...
Magda-drive ako hanggang Ilocos
Magda-drive ako hanggang Vigan
Magda-drive ako hanggang Pagudpud
tapos magswi-swimming don sa beach.
Isasama ko ang anak ko.
Isasama ko kahit sinong may gusto.
Kahit may kasama siyang aso.
Basta't meron siyang dalang sariling buto.
Magdadala ako ng pagkain...
burger fries empanada at siopao...

No photo shoot should be over without a remembrance photo with the model. It’s just not right... Thanks to my sister for helping with setting up the lights. Thanks to Mark for the location and for helping out and lending me his lens when I needed it. Last, but not least, Mich for giving me this shoot. Much Love ya'll. We had fun. It was worth the travel and the long wait.

Francine's Baptism

For Francine

GIFT CERTIFICATE

This entitles Francine Jaymie B. Samson to so many things that no money could buy. Proper guidance, moral support, a shoulder to cry on, big hugs, lots of kisses, protection from bullies and bad boyfriends, and free photography sessions for the rest of her life. I don’t have money that’s why I didn’t buy anything. But I promise you when I get rich you’ll have more of these.

NINONG DANE

That's my gift for her (printed on bond paper. kuripot ko no!?!)
Hope she gets to read it when she grows up.
I also gave her a couple of Blow-up babies Gift Certificates!

Marlon Despues: La piel

Fil-American photographer Marlon Después has been trying to capture people´s souls by portraying their skin. Marlon Después was born in the Philippines with Ilongo and Ivatan heritage. He is a graduate of the University of California at Berkeley where he studied architecture, science, poetry, and where he was classically trained in photography almost thirty years ago. Collecting images for this 800-photo exhibit began in 2005 with the gracious support from a host of volunteers, most of whom joined the project through referrals from other participants --- including doctors, directors, teachers, politicians, tricycle drivers, models, artists, diplomats --- many coming from Spain, the United States, Australia, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Egypt, Korea, China, India, Japan but mostly from the Republic of the Philippines.
