God Bless The Broken Road

I was watching this on YouTube when I noticed the comment's section. I was taken aback by one of the comments posted there.

"Thinking about using this for my wedding.

Thing is he and I were married before,for 17 years, then divorced and it's been about 17 years snce then.

Saw him for the first time in 15 years Labor Day Weekend. He said "I want my Wife Back". And I said "ok".

We plan to get married Dec. 20--our original wedding day, and what would have been our 35th anniversary if we'd stayed together all these years.

What do you think? Would this song be appropriate?"

I was speechless. Completely and utterly speechless.

Disney ain't got nothin' on that.

This has been one of my favorite songs. Listening to the melody and lyrics made me once dream of love and that the person meant for me is out there somewhere.

Guilty Pleasures

When I'm stressed dahil sa work, I indulge in some of my guilty pleasures. Lately, ito ang mga nilalantakan ko when I need a little pick-me-up.

Mogu-Mogu

Ewan ko ba kung ano ang meron sa drink na to, it's addicting. It tastes like regular juice but it's filled with nata de coco. I saw Bongga drinking this so I had a sip, after an hour lumabas ako ng office at pumunta ng 7/11 para bumili.

In fairness, refreshing siya. 

Selecta Hershey's Reeses

Kakwentuhan ko ang isang officemate ko nang bigla niyang nabanggit na masarap daw to. I've been planning to buy a tub of this just to taste it for the longest time pero ewan ko ba kung bakit hindi ako bumibili. Eh sa kakulitan ng officemate ko, naisipan kong bumili at nang matikman ko siya, hindi ko kinya!

Perfect 10 ang score ko sa lasa nito.

Though I may be biased because my favorite brand of chocolate is Reese's :) 

Tutti Frutti

Earlier today, I was desperately craving for something sweet but I couldn't decide what to buy. Ewan ko kung bakit, bigla akong naghanap ng frozen yogurt. Sa lakas ng ulan, hindi ako makapunta sa Frozen Yogurt shop na nasa Centris walk. Nafrustrate ako bigla.

Hindi na ako makapag concentrate sa work dahil talagang gusto ko nito. Bigla kong naalala, nasa akin pala ang payong ni SexyAnne at dahil diyan, lumabas ako ng office at dinedma ang ulan. 

I don't eat healthy do I?

What Would You Do?

I've been following a series of episodes from ABC's "What Would You Do?" for quite some time now. Based on the time stamp, this seems to be their latest episode and I must say that this by far has been the best one for me.



The letter from the guy was very moving and inspirational and it makes you think that there's still some good left in the world.

If this happened here in the Philippines, I wonder if people would do the same.

Watch the video to know what I mean.

So if you were in a scenario such as this, I dare ask, what would you do?

Shoes!

Remember those shoes I drooled over last year?

Well I kinnda have them na :)

They look great pero sinusumpa ko tong mga sapatos na to because it is very hard to walk with then. Kung saan saan sumasabit yung mga pakpak niya.

But I like how they look so that's that. Tiisin ko nalag ang effort na kelangan para ilakad sila.

Cute naman diba?

Oki Oki

Friday night nang magkita kaming dalawa ni Mama sa Trinoma. Dumeretso na ako dun ula office since hanggang 6 lang naman ako.

Bumisita si Mama dito dahil may inasikaso siya par sa work.

So ayun nga, nasa Trinoma na kaming dalawa. 

Favorite kasi ni Mama ang Japanese food, pareho kaming dalawa. Syempre, bata palang ako pinapakain na ako ni Mama ng Japanese food kaya naging favorite ko.

Since super konti ang Jap restos sa Trinoma, pumunta kami ni Mama sa Oki Oki. Located siya sa tabi ng main entrance ng Trinoma.

 Ayan may tea na iseserve pag upo niyo palang. In fairness, lasa siyang... tea. 

Damng tao no? Hindi niyo ba sila nakikita? Tingin kasi kayo sa gitna ng picture, sa labas, madaming tao ang naglalakad.

Si Mama. Nagsuklay pa siya bago ko picturan. O diba? Always prepared. 

Sukiyaki. In fairness, delicious at ang daming beef na laman. 

Chicken something. Hindi ko maalala ang pangalan nito basta lasa siyang chicken barbeque na binudburan ng sesame seeds.

Tamago ang aking favorite na sushi. Masarap ang Tamago sa Oki Oki pero kamusta naman ang 2 pieces diba? Masarap nga pero sa lalamunan ko palang na-digest na ata. Sana naman ginawa manglang tatlo diba?

Tempura. Gusto ko siya kasi manipis lang ang batter na ginamit. Ayoko naman kasi kumain ng tempura na sobrang kapal ng batter eh hindi mo na malasahan ang hipon pag kinain mo.

I guess I'd give this place a 5 out of 10. Ang konti kasi ng serving para sa price. Sa lasa naman eh keri narin, masarap naman in fairness.

Ganito kami magbonding ni Mama. Either shopping or food trip tapos todo kwentuhan lng kami. Para lang kami magbarkada ano?

Born This Way Baby!

Hulaan niyo kung ano ang nakuha ko today.

Winner ang mga bagong kanta kaso may mga hindi ako trip, siguro mga 3 or 4 songs.

Hindi ko pa napakinggan lahat dahil busi-busihan nanaman ako sa work pero in fairness, so far, havey na havey ang bagong album ni Mother Monster.

I have no idea kung pano na-release to eh sa 23 pa to dapat.

Pero dapat pa ba akong magreklamo?!

Paws up bitches! Coz we were born this way!!!

One Year and One Month

April 2010 nang ako ay mag umpisang mag-trabaho sa kumpanya namin. 

Noon ay nasa RCBC Tower pa kami ng Makati. Isang maliit na opisina lang yun noon at ilang team kaming nandun. 5am palang umaalis na ako ng bahay dahil ayokong matraffic.

Noon, ang station ko, may isang monitor plus ang aming Cisco phone. Wag niyong pansinin ang maga nakasulat sa pader. May freedom wall kami dun.

Mga bandang June eh lumipat na kami ng Eton Centris sa Quezon Ave. In fairness mas malapit sa bahay kaya nakakatulog na ako ng maayos noon.

Buti naman at naging dalawa na ang monitor namin. Syempre nandyan parin ang headset at Cisco phone. Pwede ba namang mawala yan?!

Nang na-promote ako last month, naging non-ops ako so di ko na kelangan ng Cisco phone. Aanhin ko pa yun diba? Medyo nalagyan na ng mga papeles ang desk ko.

Nang dumami ang trabahong binibigay sa akin, dumami din ang mga papeles at abubut sa desk ko. Syempre organized parin dapat diba?

Ngayon naman naging ganyan na ang desk ko. Sa dami kasi ng ginagawa ko, nagha-hang na ang PC ko minsan kaya kelangan ng external help hahaha.

In fairness, sa loob ng isang taon at isang buwan, kakaiba rin pala ang naging evolution ng workspace ko. 

Sa totoo lang, bawal gumamit ng laptop unless company issued pero kinailangan ko lang talaga kanina kaya pinagbigyan ako na gamitin saglit.

Busy-busyhan man ako these days eh masaya parin ako. Unang-una mabait ang boss ko. Pangalawa, nagagawa ko na ang gusto ko. Pangatlo, nakakapag-break ako kung kelan ko gusto. Pang-apat at pinaka importante sa lahat, dahil hindi na ako agent, no more calls!

Napapaisip tuloy ako, ano kaya ang susunod na evolution ng desk ko. Mabigyan din kaya ako ng Mac? Hahaha ilusyonado.

P.S. Madami kasing nagtatanog sa akin nito eh. Hindi si Celine Dion ang wallpaper ko. Hindi ko ba alam kung ano ang tinitira ng mga ka-opisina ko at napagkakamalan nilang si Celine Dion yan.

Siya ay si Anna Torv, bida ng aking peyborit show na Fringe. 

Dats all powks!

Glee Season 2 Finale Songs

Well, at least the songs for the competition anyway.

I did some snooping around the cyberworld and so far I've found these songs for the competition. Now, I'm not 100% sure so don't barrage me if they sing something else for the nationals.

Here is what the New Directions will sing:



Here's what Vocal Adrenaline will sing led by Charice:



So if these are the actual songs for the nationals, who do you think will win?

Either way, I'm excited for Nationals.

More Songs from Lady Gaga

Put your paws up! Mother Monster has released more songs for her new album, Born This Way.

Edge of Glory


Hair


Marry The Night


Markahan ang mga calendar! Her album drops on May 23, 2011.

I can't wait for her album. All the songs have been stellar so far. Kahit kanta tungkol sa buhok niya, havey na havey parin.

Now that's a real artist right there.

Love to S.W.E.A.T.

Adamsplanet is now associated with this awesome site called Love to S.W.E.A.T.

I'm now listed as one of their authors.

The site is mostly about lifestyle, travel, food, basically things I like.

I was lucky enough to have met the guy who made the site and boom! Before I knew it, I was already listed as an author.

Just in time for my trip to Bacolod this July and Cebu on August.

Plus I get to link my blog there para more na more ang exposure.

So cheers to us. Palakihin natin ang planeta ko!

Halina't ipalaganap pa ang blog ko sa buong mundo.

To the people from and who reads Love to S.W.E.A.T., thank you for making me part of the team. :)

City of Smiles

For the longest time, I've been nagging Parker to go to Bora or Anawangin, or somewhere. The thing is, since we see each other once a month, his schedule really won't permit it.

Last week may nakilala siyang dalawang tao na bumisita sa kanila. Lumabas sila at nag inuman and before I knew it, he was calling me to say that they're going to Bora over the weekend on a whim. Promise, lahat ng dugo sa katawan ko umakyat sa ulo ko but I tried my best to stay calm dahil pagod ako galing trabaho and I wasn't in the mood to pick a fight.

Nagpost nalang ako sa fezbuk ng status para ilabas ang aking saloobin.

He knew that I was upset. He knows me well enough.

So ayun, gumora na sila sa Bora.

When Parker is on trips for either business or leisure, he barely calls or texts and I don't really expect him to contact me because I know he's either busy or having fun.

While at home, it suddenly donned on me.

"Why am I upset? Why don't I do something about it?", tanong ko sa sarili ko.

I assessed things and that's when I realized that I've missed a trip to Galera, Boracay, Ilocos, and Baguio for him because either he wouldn't give me a definite answer or he didn't wanna go.

If Parker can go on his trips without me and telling me at the last minute at any given time, then with that logic, I can do the same.

I've always wanted to travel, it's just nung naging kami ni Parker, ginusto ko sana na magkasama kaming dalawa. Who wouldn't want that diba? But enough is enough and I'm no longer gonna sit at corner waiting for when it would be convenient for him.

I've given him the freedom and privilege of travelling with his friends without consulting with me first. Naiintindihan ko naman na he has his life with them. It's time that I have mine.

So I called my friend in Bacolod at sinabi ko sa kanya na pupunta ako dun sa July. Nagkataon na ang dates ng pagpunta ko dun, off niya so pwede niya akong i-tour.

"Ano naman ang nakain mo at gusto mong pumunta dito?", tanong niya.

"Trip ko lang", sagot ko.

"Kasama mo si Parker?"

"Hindi"

"Pano kung di ka niya payagan"

"I don't think he will. He owe's me that much.", sagot ko sabay tawa.

"Ah ok. Sige update mo nalang ako."

Why Bacolod? First, I promised my friend na bibisita ako dun. Second, when I was young, the first place that I can remember na pinuntahan ni Mama was Bacolod.

Why July? That's the month I get regularized for my new position. So parang treat ko narin yun sa sarili ko. I need a quick break dahil lagi akong busy sa work and a short vacation to a place I've never been to should be good for me.

I've already told Parker about my plans of going to Bacolod on July. He seems okay with it. If you'd ask me, I think okay narin yung ganito para at least wala nang away. I don't have to argue with him anymore.

Kung gusto niyang gumala with his friends, bakit ko naman siya pagbabawalan? I know how much he loves travelling and I know that he also needs the break every now and then dahil busy din siya sa work.

If theres one thing I've learned from all of this, it's that I don't have to place my life on hold anymore. Parker and I will have our trips together, I'm pretty sure about that but it doesn't mean that we can't have a few side trips of our own.

Gaya ng madalas niyang sabihin pag nagtatampo ako, ako ang buhay niya at siya ang buhay ko but we also have to grow. He has his life there and I have mine here and somewhere in between that we have a world of our own just for the both of us.

I guess it just took me a while to understand what he meant by that.

Basta ako, I'm happy. I've got a great job, great friends and a great boyfriend.

So prepare. By July, adamsplanet will be invading Bacolod.

P.S.

If I have readers in Bacolod, I'd want to meet you guys. :)

Excuse My French!

French has always been my favorite language.

A few years ago, I had a brief...uhhhm...affair, with a Frenchman who was half Pinoy. Because of that, I kinda learned the language. It was fairly easy for me, plus I bought books and downloaded some audio stuff I could use. I learned how to construct basic sentences and what-not.

Now, I learned that the College of Arts and Letters in UP offers an extramural non-credit course in French. It'll be a 3-hour class every Saturday at either 9am-12pm or 2pm-5pm and that will be for 10 weeks per level. They offer up to Level 6 and all their materials come from Alliance Francais de Manille.

So I inquired about the classes and they informed me that the enrollment will be on June 7-15 and classes start on  June 18. It'll costs about 4k php per level at pasok na pasok sa sweldo. Not bad diba?

Since I love the French language, I plan to go to Paris before I die, and I work for Canadians, it should be a great experience for me. Plus, it'll be a good way to make new friends. I plan on broadening my horizons now that I've been here for one year.

So get ready UP. Come June, adamsplanet shall be walking down your hallowed halls.

Dinner and a Bookie

I could feel a wave of heat take over me when I got out of the MRT station and the hundreds of people around Ayala was not helping. All I wanted was to get to Glorietta because I was sure it'll be cold inside the mall.

It was a Wednesday night when I found myself in the familiar streets of Makati. I was on my way to meet someone.

Bookie.

After almost 9 months, magkikita narin kami ulit ni Bookie.

We had been planning to meet for the longest time but our schedules, specially his, would just not permit it. Pero sa wakas, nagkita narin kami.

I met him in front of the cinema for the 7:20 showing of Scream 4. We got there just in the nick of time.

The movie was good. Madaming gulat moments. May mga tilian moments din.

I didn't tell him that I've already watched Scream 4 the week it was released. I just really wanted to see the big guy.

After the movie, we had dinner and just like before, it was at Luk Yuen.

Siomai

Bookie

Chicken Bento

Sesame Balls

Congee

Over dinner, we talked about work, love, life, sex, and everything else in between. I told him stories about me and Parker. He told me stories about him and Schoolboi. Natuwa naman ako sa kwento ng love story nila ni Schoolboi.

Funny, we've never met each other's partner.

After dinner, we grabbed something to drink at Coffeebean and continued our kwentuhan there.

Knowing me for almost a year and Bookie still thinks I'm a weirdo. Fair enough since I kinnda am.

He said that when he hears me talk, it reminds him of Schoolboi because we sound alike and we both sound funny when we talk in tagalog.

By 11pm it was time to leave because he had to meet Schoolboi and I had work in the morning.

It was great seeing Bookie. Namiss ko siya as in.

Sorry if medyo magulo tong post na to at hindi ako masydong nagkwento. Sa dami kasi ng pinagusapan namin, hindi ko alam kung alin dun ang pwede kong i-disclose dito. May pag enigmatic itong si Bookie eh, baka may masulat ako dito na hindi pala dapat isulat.

Better safe than sorry right?

Basta, Bookie thank you for the movie and dinner. Next one will be on me. And I'll be paying for it as well. :)

School Supplies

Last week tinawagan ko si Papa at sinabi ko na ako na ang bibili ng school supplies ng mga kapatid ko para hindi na siya gumastos. Naisip ko naman na may konting dagdag sa sweldo ko kasi pumasok naman ako nung  holy week.

Ayan, ni-raid ko ang National Bookstore. Actually, mas mura ng slight sa Office Warehouse pero naisip ko kasi na unless isang libo ang matitipid ko eh sa NB nalang ako dahil sayang din yung points na makukuha ko sa card ko.

Mula lapis hanggang bag bumili ako. Para at least bago gamitin ng mga kapatid ko diba?

 Sabi  nang kapatid ni Papa nung bumisita siya dito na mas ideal daw na pouch ang bilhin ko kasi kung pencil case daw, at some point eh mayuyupi. May point nga naman siya. So ayan, I bought these cute net-style pouches for pencils and what not.

I bought one bag for each of them. The one on the left is actually purple. Hindi ko ba alam kung ano ang meron sa lighting ng kwarto ko at naging blue sa picture yan. In fairness naman mukhang matibay dahil hinatak-hatak ko kanina to test kung matibay.

Keri lang naman.

When I got home, I was so excited to pack them so I took out all of the price tags and arranged all of the supplies in each bag para alam na ng mga kapatid ko kung alin ang sa kanila. I bought each of them their own stuff para hindi na sila mag agawan or maghiraman or something to that effect.

Grabe!!! Halos tatlong oras ako kanina sa loob ng NB. Wala kasi akong listahan ng mga bibilhin ko so nangangapa ako at lahat na ata ng saleslady napagtanungan ko at lahat ng santo eh nadasalan ko na. Ano bang malay ko na may specific notebook sa specific na grade?!

Pati lapis, ballpen, pad paper. Diyosmiyo santisima! Naloloka na ako kanina dahil tumatawag ako sa Laoag para tanungin sina Papa kung ano pa ang kelangan, jusme naka off lahat ng phone nila! Buti nalang nacontact ko pinsan ko. Pati si Parker pinagtanungan ko na.

Habang nagiikot-ikot ako sa NB, naisip ko tuloy kung ganito ba ang nararamdaman ng nanay ko nung ako pa ang nasa elementary at high school. Kung oo, jusme napagtyagaan niya yun?! I have a new-found respect for my mother kung ganon.

So ayun nga, matapos ang halos tatlong oras ng pagiikot-ikot sa NB, natapos narin ako. Ayun nung nagbayad ako sa cashier, napalunok ako nung nakita ko babayaran ko. Apparently although mura yung iba individually, pag minultiply mo by three lahat, may kamahalan din pala ng slight.

Pero keri lang, sa mga kapatid ko naman. Naisip ko rin naman na imbes gastusin ko sa luho ko ang pera ko eh di bilhan ko nalang mga kapatid ko ng mga ganyan.

Naisip ko lang... parang ang dami kong naisip ngayong araw na 'to.

Ano say niyo?

Judas - Lady Gaga

Mother Monster's newest video has been released. Is it just me or are there more dance sequences now? Either way, I like it.

How about you???

Hapadog

Today, my boss treated us for lunch. He bought us something called Hapadog. According to him, the owner is a good friend of his.

Hapadog and Coke for lunch

 I got something called a "temp-tation dog". It's a good thing they deliver. After about half an hour, the food was here.

Temp-tation Dog

I though it smelled weird at first but when I opened the box, I realized it was because they used Japanese ingredients to make 'em. It tastes really good and they're bigger than regular hotdogs.

Here are a few pictures of the other stuff they sell:

Miso Huuungry

Popeye's Dog

Temp-tation Dog

Californippon

Hapadog

H-Dawg

Ka-noodle My Dog

The Kat's Meow

Korokke Dog

Look's good eh? Might go there tonight or tomorrow. I really wanna try the Korokke Dog. I asked my boss how much do they cost, he gave me an estimate. Price's seem good enough.

Hapadog is  located at the Sky Garden in SM North Edsa. To check their full menu, you could check the Hapadog website. You could also visit their Facebook page or follow them on Twitter.

iPhone Love

Ever since I got my Galaxy Tab, I think I've been neglecting my iPhone so bumili ako ng bagong case.

Ang cute diba? At mukha siyang totoong cassette tape, mas mahaba lang. Natutuwa pati mga officemates ko, akala nga nung iba bumili nanaman ako ng bagong phone. Hello? I love my iPhone.

Would you believe that they are selling this case in Greenhills for 700php - 1000php. Que horror! Que barbaridad! Mabuti nalang at dumaan ako ng Trinoma and I saw this for only 120php. 

120 is a far cry from 700. Pareho lang naman sila, the only difference is that Trinoma only had it in blue while in Greenhills, there were different colors. I like blue so blue it is.

Greenhills used to be the place where you could buy really cheap stuff, ngayon naman eh ang mamahal na ng mga benta nila. Tama bang halos tapatan na nila ang presyo ng isang original na item. For a difference of 300 or 400, original nalang bibilhin ko. 

Basta, ang cute ng case ng phone ko. Cute naman diba? diba? diba? diiibbbaaaaa???

Ang E-mail Niya

"I'm on my way to the airport. I'll see you soon"

Yan ang tumambad sa akin pagbukas ko ng e-mail ko kanina sa office.

Nanlamig ang buong katawan ko. Nakaramdam ako ng magkahalong tuwa at takot.

Hindi ko alam kung bakit.

Ilang linggo ko nang alam na darating siya at eto na nga. Bukas ay nandito na siya.

Bukas ay darating na ang boss ko mula Canada.

Hindi ko pa kasi nasasabi sa inyo na ako lang mag-isa sa department ang nandito sa Pilipinas. Solo flight kumbaga. Ganun na mula nung na-promote ako. Lahat sila nasa ibang bansa.

Na-meet ko naman na ang boss ko sa personal noon dahil isa siya sa mga nang-interview sa akin pero matapos nun eh bumalik na siya agad sa Canada kaya hindi pa kami nakakapagbonding. Feeling close ano?

Kaya buong umaga kinulit kulit ko ang mga IT na i-set up na ang mga gagamitin ng boss ko pagdating niya. Hindi ko sila tinantanan hanggat hindi ko nakita na inayos nila ang station ng boss ko. Ambait ko no? Hihihi. Tinapos ko rin ang trabaho ko para sa araw na to para pagdating niya walang pending na trabaho.

Ako na! Ako na ang huwarang empleyado!

Anyway, bahala na pagdating niya bukas. Isa nalang naman na ang inaalala ko eh. Hindi ko pa alam kung ano ang isusuot ko at kung ano ang hairstyle ko bukas!!!

Kitang kita kung nasan ang priorities ko ano? Wahahaha

Samsung Galaxy Tab Review

So I've had my Galaxy Tab for about three weeks now and I've played with it so I guess I can make a review now. I won't be so technical because I dont want this post to be a mile long.

Design

I must say its light. The size is perfect because I could put it in any of my bags and it fits in my hand perfectly. It's not too small and not too big either. The back panel is made of plastic which I kindda don't like because it feels cheap but the front panel is really nice. The glass seems sturdy enough and the touch panel is very responsive. My standards with touch screen devices are pretty high because of my iPhone and I can say that the Galaxy Tab measures up to my standards.

Display

The display is decent enough, though the backlight dims automatically once the battery goes down to 10%. It kinnda annoys me that I have to manually adjust the brightness when that happens.

Watching movies is a joy and it only takes 2-3 seconds for a 2 hour movie to load up. HD movies look amazing on the 7-inch screen of the Galaxy Tab.

User Interface and System

The Android System is pretty new to me since this is my first Android Device and I've never used it in the past. I must say it's pretty simple to use but there are some commands that are new to me since Im used to the IOS.

The apps are nice and very easy to come by but the really nice games and apps are pretty limited. Apple obviously has more apps but I've seen apps in the Android Market that could also be found on the App Store. Overall, I'd probably give Android apps an 8 out of 10.

I like the fact that I have more freedom to play with the system of Android because Apple limits what you can do to an IOS device.

The keyboard is pretty simple but I like the added touch of SWYPE.

The built in e-book reader is a bit slow when turning pages but installing the Kindle App makes everything so much better.

Sounds

The preinstalled sound and tones are pretty good compared to the ones built in to the IOS. What I particularly like is how loud the speakers are.

Battery Life

Here's something tricky. When you plug in a sim card, the device only lasts about 7 hours. Apparently fetching network data drains the battery really really fast. Without a sim card, I was able to let it last for  about 3 days with normal use such as reading, listening to music, watching a video or two, etc.

Oh here's something everyone says but I'll say it as well, switch the wi-fi off when you dont intend to use it. It saves a lot of power on the device.

Overall Impression

Overall, I's probably give it a 8 out of 10. Why so? Because of the camera. It takes good pictures under good lighting but in darker conditions, the pictures have a of of noise on them. Also, it would be better if there was an external camera button somewhere on the device.

I'm very happy with the Galaxy Tab because of how portable it is plus it has 16 gigs which can be upgraded to 36 with a 16 gig micro SD card.

Though the games are a bit on the low-end, it doesn't really matter because of my iPhone.

If you want a portable device which also works as a movie viewer, e-book reader, photo viewer, music player and much more, then the Galaxy Tab is for you.

I'd recommend it for people who would want a tablet but doesn't like lugging huge things around.

Photodropouts Laoag

My uncle who is from Photodropouts Laoag came to Manila because they held a workshop somewhere near Quezon Ave.

Syempre, take advantage of the situation diba? Sabi ko picturan ako habang nagpo-poi.



























Ayos diba? At least hindi na ako nageffort na mag set ng timer.

In fairness, maganda ang style nila when it comes to taking photos. They get invited to a lot of seminars and workshops as speakers. Here are some samples of their works:







And my favorite is...

Hahahaha joke lang. Thats me and my cousin. Kinuhanan kami somewhere in Ilocos nung last time na umuwi ako dun.

To know more about Photodropouts Laoag or to check the schedule of their workshops, you may visit their Facebook Page or their website.

O diba? Promote kung promote!
