I took this picture while Mimay and I went to the bookstore cause she was going to buy props for her shoot later that day. It was technically the last days of exams but no one has. This pic's part of my "Lomo x Digital" Project, where I'm trying to make the photos I took with my 550d look like they were taken from a lomo cam. plus, it make me think if I still need/ want to buy a lomo cam. Whatcha thinkkkk??

#ForeverAlone
Okay, So I wasn't really supposed to post right now cause I just did last night and it would suffice for two days but I'm posting right now (Okay, I sound dumb too.) cause I saw a post of my friend about him and his"friend." Okay, she's our friend too but there's something going on between them. Fine, it leaves me alone. FOREVER ALONE. I'm the only one among us who's not into a relationship or courting someone. It's like they're courting each other. Man, why am I forever alone? Hahaha
But look, here's the thing. I won't court her yet. Weird right? On top of that, Only a few people knows her. I won't let the same mistake happen again. I think that's part of the reason why we ended nothing back then. Plus, she's different. Basta, I'm starting to make my move. With last night's promise, I know I'm on the right track.

SG Moves
So I watched Myxed Lives and today's episode was shot in Singapore. I remember when we went there last September. We had the same routine, even the hotel. Remember too when I told you that I'm looking for someone to come with me on January to watch FTP live in Fort Canning? Well, I'm cancelling it. I'm broke.
With this, I promise that I'll go to SG with someone special. I'll ask her to come with me and just spent maybe a couple of days or a week with just the two of us. But I think after graduating and getting a job pa. Yes, I'll buy you your ticket, libre ko na :)

Wrath of Man- Induced Catastrophe
"Man, I'm so fucked up. EDSA's traffic is unbearable."
"Too cold here. I need a jacket and someone to cuddle."
"Give me something to do. I'm too darn bored."
Heard, seen, said or posted any of these three statements last Friday and Saturday? Prolly yes. I myself is guilty of this. Why guilty? I'm guilty because it seems that I have the biggest problem, mentioned above, while our brothers and sisters down south are battling for their lives in the wake of Tropical Storm Sendong.
Earlier this week, it was on the news that a storm will hit the country Friday night but it won't be as worse as the earlier typhoons that visited the country. We didn't even hear any news that there was an on- going repackaging of relief goods and evacuation of residents, right? So last Friday night, at the midst of the cold, traffic- stricken and boring Friday night in the metro, there was an action down south. It wasn't the regular fight between the nation's army and leftist group but a battle between life and death brought by the said storm. As the night continued, we ate, slept and probably partied all night long that we got shocked by the news early Saturday morning that more than 100 are dead and more than 800 people are missing and feared dead last night due to the continuous heavy rainfall on Mindanao, especially on Iligan and Cagayan de Oro. They say that this is way worse than 2009's Ondoy that killed around 300+ people here in Manila. Why? The rainfall brought by Sendong is higher by 20.00mm+ per hour than Ondoy. As many knew what happened, donations started pouring in. Call for help started to surround our television sets, radio, cellphone, Facebook and Twitter.
This catastrophe let me realize many things. First, life is so precious that it may be taken away from you at the time that nobody expects. I know I've said this when AJ passed away but I'm saying it again because most of us, including me back then, don't value life. We have "This too shall pass." mentality, which at certain aspects is right, but looking at a different perspective, it's wrong. We shouldn't just let things pass, we should examine it, give it a try, learn from it and live what you have learned. That's life. Second is that the environment's can be our best friend and at the same time our worst enemy. It can be our best friend in the sense that we can depend our lives on it. We get everything that we need from her. But because of man's unending desire for wealth, we end up killing her so she would counter attack on the things we did. I think it's pretty much safe to say that we people deserve and don't deserve this tragedy at the same time. Just imagine, Mindanao, called the "Land of Promise" for it's pristine natural wonders, is having a dilemma on it's own ecosystem. Why? Greedy people are stashing down trees. On the contrary, we don't deserve it too. People died, especially children who have nothing to do with this tree- cutting incidents have perished. Why can't she run after those who try to kill her? Oh well, again, life is unfair. Third, we still live by our customs and tradition. We may not see real life situations of those Bayanihan paintings of lifting houses but it is still practiced by everyone, whether from the metro or not. We easily responded to the call of our fellowmen down south. We forgot our cultural, historical and religious differences just to help each other. This is one of the moments I'm proud that I am Pinoy. Calamities may bring us down temporarily but we stand and conquer it as one, despite of the said differences.
As of this writing, per CNN and PNRC, 650 people, mostly children, aged people and women, have perished from this tragic incident. May we learn from this incident, again. We got some lessons from the Metro's Ondoy but this too shall give us a more remarkable lesson.
As of this writing too, only a few people were tweeting about traffic, boredom and coldness. Perhaps, we have learned that more people are in need of help and attention.

Pinoy’y ating maaasahan
Kailan ma’y di ka iiwan
Handang tumulong sa iyo
Ano man ang pagdaanan mo
Kailan ma’y di ka iiwan
Handang tumulong sa iyo
Ano man ang pagdaanan mo
Lumalaban sa hamon ng buhay
Hanggang sa ating tagumpay
Mahirap man pagdaanan
Kayang kaya natin ‘yan!
Hanggang sa ating tagumpay
Mahirap man pagdaanan
Kayang kaya natin ‘yan!

iMean
There are two instances in a mall that pisses me off: people who would use a gadget to take a picture of them then eventually save it and use it as the gadget's wallpaper and people who doesn't seem to have brought their manners when it comes to product testing.
My sister, her boyfriend and I went to SM to buy something for her sudden exchange gift (See what I mean with SM being a mushroom?!) After buying a present, we decided to just stroll around. We then went to Accent Micro since I'm looking for a replacement for my baby laptop (RIP LENOVO S10-3C) Instead of seeing one, I went to the corner where there are two iPads that can be used by anyone. I took the one on the left side since somebody's using the other one. As I used it, BV came as I noticed that the wallpaper of the iPad are those freakin' customers who would take pictures, save it and use it as wallpaper. Artista ba kayo? So I played a little game. I changed the iPad's wallpaper into a funnier picture. As I did that, a lady from my back was going to get my place, LITERALLY. I didn't let her but after changing the wallpaper, I locked the iPad and went off. I know she can use it since there's no lock code but I know she still can't. (I'll sound fucking mean here) Based from how she looked, I know she can't figure how to unlock it. I observed her. She got my place, held the iPad on her two hands and figured out how to use it. From my perspective, I can see that she was troubled that she can't get a hold of what I used and had fun playing. She then examined the iPad's rear and still ended up with nothing while I was laughing naughtily inside my mind and smiling outside. She then made a 360 degree view of the gadget and walked away from it.
Moral lesson of the story? Never mess up with store gadgets and me or you'll end up like a clown. Plus, don't forget your manners. Like me, being mean- spirited is part of it cause I know it's useful tho it's negative. It radiates positivity in some moments.

Dalawa. Two. Dos
It's exam week yet it's still hell week. I know most people would agree with it but for us, no. We were used to call the week before the exams as hell week but this term is different. It's just prelims but it's way worse than all our final terms from first year til last term combined. How much more for midterms and finals? Oh well, we chose this course and we're gonna finish it with a bang!
The image looks different right? Last Sunday, I asked my parents to buy the DSLR that I want. They did cause I need it for school and the offer's too good to avoid. So there, I have my Canon 550D. I'm still studying how to make good photos.
That's why I'm busy.
Stay positive everyone! : )

SM Here and There
Earlier I went to the new mall near our school. Man, it was freakin packed with people! Okay, I get it, it just opened a couple of hours ago so that's why. Btw, the mall's a ppp between the city government and sm prime. Enough with that info so I went straight to the mall. Since it was packed, I need to cue to get inside. It was so cute! It looks like Walmart and Target! I love how they positioned everything! So I was heading for the food since I went there cause I was too hungry but I didn't buy cause the line was so long! How long? Prolly around 100m for each counter! So I tried to go to the food stalls in front but lady bad luck strike me that even Pao Tsin was packed. I tried going to Jollibee and Chowking but man the lines were near the entrance doors! For every cashier yun ha! So I went to Mang Inasal hoping to eat a little but didn't manage too. I also saw that near that store was the sort of Market! Market! inspired shops. I pity those sellers cause they are going head to head with a retail giant. After that I tried to get a jeep going straight to my stop but didn't see any so I decided to take another jeep then just ride the bus. Funny thing while I was on the bus was that I almost need not to pay cause the guy didn't really approached me but I approached him to give him my money. After going off from the bus, I also saw another sign: SAVE MORE SALITRAN- DECEMBER 15, 2011. Man, SM's everywhere!! Seriously, let's occupy makati! haha
Well that's for today's misadventure! :))

Wishlist
Every year, I come up with the best wishlist. Of course, I'm the one who makes em so for me it's the best! Waley :) Whenever my friends would see that and we're gonna have a kris kringle, they would surely say "Titigil muna ko ng isang taon." But I guess this year it's pretty much different. This is a SERIOUS wishlist.
1) Somedaydream's album, better if Rez signed it :)
2) Crest White Strips
3) White V-Neck shirt from Bench
4) Colored Crew Neck shirt
5) John Green's Looking For Alaska
6) Oreo Double Stuf
7) Starbucks 2012 Planner. Yes, I have the card but I'm too darn sawa with it so can I just have one without even bothering to drink some frappe? :)
8) All of Mitch Albom's books, and of course
MINI COOPER, any model will do :) Yes, it's still here but you can make cash pledges to help me finance this project :)
Seriously, those are the things I want to get this Christmas. I dropped some cause I can see em coming already :)
