SHOOTIN' EVERYWHERE


 I've been pretty busy because of finals week and so far, this has been THE WORST FINALS WEEK I'VE HAD. Proj sucked the life out of me and doing all my other works are just soo...blegh. The best thing this term is my Black and White Photography class.

We were running out of time for Photog class so my prof told us we could use his studio for free. Luckily for me, his studio was very near my house. Here's what the place looks like:


My prof's DIY Lighting. He loves to do DIYs I dunno why :))



Check out his old school camera! He's a fan of film cameras and his place has loads of camera porn. Totes amaze. Oh, and yes, that camera still works and takes amazing photos.


My partner in crime, Lee..oh yeahhh.



Lee borrowed Sir Jay's camera. It was actually fun to use. I got to use it to take photos of Lee. He wanted me to shoot him using that camera so I obliged. 


AND FINALLY, AFTER ALL THIS TIME OF DREAMING OF A TLR, I actually got to hold AND use one! It's a dream. Totally ignited my search for MY very own TLR. I hope I get one soon...maybe Imma ask one for my birthday or when I go to Hong Kong. :D


This is also one of my prof's cameras. It looks like a 35mm camera but it's actually a 120. The lens pops up to reveal the "screen" just like a TLR. Pretty cool, huh?



Lee gettin' ready for his shoot.

My prof LOVES cats and he's got like 4 or 5 of them there.
Down here you'll see cat porn and her name is Milkshake. Milkshake does bring all the boys (and girls) to her yard because she's just fuckin' gorgeous...check her out:


She was totally modelling and my friend just went apeshit crazy on the camera sooo...yeah. You can't touch Milkshake tho because prof said she's a bitch. Lol, ironic but yeah, she scratches and for a moment there I thought she was giving me the finger/paw :))) Nonetheless, she's totes adorbs. 




AND THAT'S US RIGHT THERE!

Postin' the pictures of the results from the film shoots next. :D

Yay!


Finally, I'm... "blogging" again hehehe. Pero no, for sure ngayon lang yan because of the long weekend and since I have some time to share my shit with you guys (whoever you may be)...Here's the low-down on what I've been doing lately.

THESIS!

My life revolves around my thesis and lemme show you what my study room looks like...

This is the sliding door and I posted some background stuff and character studies on it.
This is the other table that's filled with my stuff on it. You can see that my peg is Sin City and there's the book over there. I borrowed it from the Library.


And this is what it looks like zoomed out. Oh, don't mind the big jar of salsa. Pretend it's not there.
OKAY, I LIKE TO EAT WHEN I'M STRESSED. THERE. I SAID IT. 


HAHAHA. KAY. 

Thesis is over and I passed so yaaayyy for me! But there's still MPROJ2, that's like thesis part 3 and it's the marketing part of my thesis. So there's MSCIETY (the researching part), MPROJ1 (the actual project) and then MPROJ2 (which is the marketing of the thesis). And that's the life of a senior in SDA. 

Fete de la Musique passed as well and that day was pretty crazy. I went to the Cynthia Alexander Farewell thingamajig but did not get to see her perform because well, it took her HOURS to get on the freakin stage. When I left, it was about 11PM and no one has seen her yet at that time! Rumors were going around that she was still being interviewed and DAMN, that interviewer dude made sure to TAKE HIS TIME.

All is cool though because I got to hang out with my friend, Kumiko. She's really nice and I felt really bad for leaving without seeing Cynthia Alexander because I know she wanted me to see how awesome she was. So instead of seeing her live, before I left I decided to buy her album which had some pretty cool songs btw. I should post some soon.

After the Cynthia Alexander Farewell thing, I told my driver to get me to B-side which was on the other side of the planet from the CA gig and I made it just in time... TO SEE WILABALIW...again. Ugh, really tho. I get why they're so iconic and all but they're just not my thing.

I decided to just eat and roam around with my friends. Down here's a dude wearing a cool Trainspotting tee. 


Here's a dude totally rockin' to Wilabaliw.


And some random art stuff on the walls of The Collective.



Oh, and this is my first time to taste this chocolate! 
Kumiko gave me these chocolate bars and they're insanley good and what's cooler is that they are locally made, oh yeaahhhh! 

Check 'em out here. Totes amaze :))) 



My friend and I couldn't finish the drink we ordered so we told Joey to finish them all. Spot Joey roamin' around drunk. :))) 


Hi Joey, love you~~ :))


PS. I went to the Ang Nagwawala concert for the Ang Nawawala film and it was helluva fun! I used my film camera tho so I dunno what pictures I got, hopefully meron naman so I can share it soon but for nao, Fete na lang muna haha. If you wanna check out my film stuff, check my tumblr! :D

PPS. I'm also brewing something new for you guys. Clue: leather and canvas. Pero para mas madali, you can check what's brewin' over here

HELLO HELLO

Via Stop It Right Now



Sooo, I love her outfit especially the pregnant part. I don't think it would be this cool if the baby bump was missing. MAKES ME WANT TO GET PREGNANT LOOK FOR A JUMPER. 

In other news, my life is a total mess because Thesis has taken over my life. Everything I do is thesis related and I'm dying. If it's not thesis-related then it's school related. Either way, I'm still dying. Although, while I am on thesis mode, I've been "brewing" something special for you guys/people of Manila/reader/consumer/whateveryouwannacallyourself...I have been "designing" some cool backpacks, YAAAYY! 

The samples are already done and a few edits have been made and then it's showtimeee.
I hope you guys will like it and I'll post some photos soon. For now, back to Thesis, he is waiting for me!

PS. I'll post some of my sample photos soon! :D

Analog Signals






Went to this Dope MNL thing somewhere in Chino Roces and totally had a blast. Mostly because I was just hanging out with my friends.


 Here is a close up of the shirt that I wore that night. It's the Madonna/Virgin shirt from Proudrace!
Hehe, got it when Status had a garage sale or sumthin. We went over to Patmai's place to drop of her school stuff and went to Nova Gallery. We had a tough time looking for it but eventually found it. Luckily, my friend Patmai was familiar with the place.

When we got there, Bee Eyes was already playing! Yay, I got to see them again because I just think they're awesome. The sad part is that I never get to start their set, haha.


When we got there, a lot of people were outside but we decided to roam around the gallery first. Below are some of the art featured in the gallery. The gallery, btw was pretty cool and nice. Click on the images na lang to enlarge, hehe.





This one was pretty cool, it's really just a black and white art on canvas but a projector made it change its colors! Cool idea, man. 

Bee Eyes finished their set and my friends wanted to drink the Tanduay Ice they brought (Yes, BROUGHT, coz they're badass like that) and so we decided to roam the compound. Here are the things that we did around the compound...

I saw a cool dark alley and thought that it would be cool to have a photo right there and so we did!



I think the coolest thing we saw there last night was this warehouse for interior things and the warehouse was decorated with fake grass/vines and the photos turned out great!


Props to my friend, Trixie for the cool photos. This is probably one of my favorites nao + a lot of people are liking my profile pic in Facebook, hehehe (that's me on the left and that's Patmai on the right)

Patmai was kind of hyper/drunk that night na, so I think that's why she did this pose =)) She's hilarious to bits. PLUS, she was legit MY first friend in college, guys. Plus points to her! 


 And then that's my trying to kill her =)) We were laughing. We realized we hadn't eaten dinner that night so we decided to eat dinner in Ministop. We spent most of our time there and we had loads of laugh too. Down here, Patmai is probably talking to the doughnut and saying "Shhh" to it as she ate the poor doughnut. It was hysterical I tell ya! HYSTERICAL!


 Here's us pretending not to know that we're not being photographed near the white wall. 


We then ran out of drink and had a lot of laugh and decided to go home. Walking towards my car, the crowd parted and....


A WILD JOEY APPEARED! :D


Everyone knows Joey, guys. EVERYONE. 

That ends an epic cool night.
I took some photos with my Yashica but it's black and white so Imma have to wait for it to get developed. Photos courtesy of Trixie :D
