Cartoon heart

Gino once told me that he would only date girls who are: (1) slightly terrifying, and (2) are on Tuesdays, left handed. I asked him why but he  kept on insisting that he would not go out with a girl who is pleasing  and is right handed on a Monday. Whatever. This then brings me to Lee who swore he would not, in his life, date a person with breasts. This is because he once went out with someone who had breasts and later found out that it was actually a man.

This is Gumpert. One day he just decided he wants to stay at my grandfather's house. He is a cat.

Lee invited us for a go kart ride and an overnight stay at his place in Tarlac.

Some photos from this year's Holy Week.

And a  few photos from my siblings' graduation ceremony.

That is it for now. Thank you for viewing!

I got half a smile and zero shame

Yes, these photos were taken last year, and yes, Lee is at long last, now employed. I am not going to tell you that Lee cried in front of me when he heard some company signed him, and that he secretly whitens his teeth. Even though I just did.

Gino went to Korea for a short vacation. When he came back, he gave us these long chocolate-coated-sticks. He said these could only be found in Korea. While I was eating it though, pretzel never came into my mind.

Salgee and Candice got married last December. As good friends of the now Mr. and Mrs. Sumulong, we were all there. Except for Sam who was dreaming while the wedding  was going on. Though I must say, I have never seen a groom laugh his way throughout the wedding. I was actually surprised that the priest  didn't hit Salgee with the microphone.

I let Sid take shots with my camera during the wedding. Unfortunately, he only knew two light settings, 'dark' and 'black', and to make matters worse, he took  pictures from the other end of the church. Thank you, Sid. Still I managed to take some photos that I'm, quite satisfied with.

And the other love birds, Gino and Lee.

This one was taken by Lee.

Edge of desire

I'll be honest, this isn't my best set. I expected something, let's say "better". But they're still satisfying (in my mind). Now it kind of makes me want to go out on the streets again. 

Our good friends Salgee and Candice will tie the knot later this month, and I thought that it will be my first time to shoot a wedding on film. But to make matters worse, Salgee made me part of his entourage, so thinking of it, it's kind of difficult to take good photos of them while also walking down the isle. 

Marie

This kid was jumping around a restaurant. She liked being photographed, too bad I suck shooting at low light.

These photos were from the last time we went to Intramuros months ago. It made me think I haven't been taking photos very much lately.

Courage, eating something.

Sam and I went to UP to see their observatory. We were supposed to be there earlier that afternoon because I wanted to take photos of the streets of UP, but Sam was late, as usual, and always will be, as we all know, until the end of the world.

And because I suck shooting at low light, this was the only good photo I have of UP.

Our purpose was to try our camera's bulb mode. Again, I had expected results better than the two photos below. My settings were f1.4, 50mm fixed lens, and the shutters were open for 60 and 90 seconds. So if you have suggestions and tips on how to do this right, please let me know. Else I will cut Sam's leg off and beat him to death with it. 

The people at the observatory were nice to us and the other visitors as well. They have 2 telescopes which gave us a good look at Jupiter and it's faint narrow rings, a first for me, since I've only seen Jupiter and the other planets on  the internet and encyclopedias. 

They also have this 500mm zoom lens and they let us use it to have a better shot at the moon and stars. Unfortunately, those photos are not ready yet. So in the end, it was a good thing we went to UP. We plan to come back here soon. 

The end.
