The Kalibo Experience

It wasn't really a nice day to take pictures, the sun was blocked by a thick layer of rain clouds. I had my FILM Canon SLR with me and i started the clicking frenzy. I finished 2 rolls and I wanted more but it was expensive now to be using Film. But still I prefer it than digital. Though now having a Digital SLR is very economical than film, in my opinion, the experience is different. I remember my professor in Fine Arts telling us that the Digital Camera is not a substitute for film nor it is an evolution of the camera, It is just another medium. That's why until now I value my FILM SLR camera I know in time it will be more expensive to use but still i can take great pictures with it. It still has that "imperfectness" compared to the pixel-perfect Digital SLR.

The Road Rising

Back to my father's roots I'll go

With the lens as my eye.

Tomorrow we'll come and conquer

The sunshine-filled streets

Of a place vaguely etched on my memories.

The Past Revisited

I met my Archi friends again last night in tagaytay. One of our dear friend got married and despite the fog and the rain everything went perfectly still.

Memories flooded in my head each moment i recall in detail. how i wish i was the way i used to be that time. how i wish that i was the better person i was.

All is quite different now. I sometimes ignore time and how it affects the people around me. Decisions are not as important as they were before. Each step is as slow as sinking in quick sand.

I just realized that I've been denying myself the privelage to be happy in my life. I should always feel focused and my so-called divertions are actually the things that matter -- they're my life.

Tomorrow I will wake up with a new bright face. Hope is my shadow and dreams will keep me safe from harm.

Each movement will hurt but it will be worth it.
