GÜrL'S NyT OuT

Nag overnight kami ng college friends ko last night sa house ni Chonna. Puro lang kami girls. Sayang di nakarating ang mga boys ng barkada. Di bale may next time pa naman. Kumain kami ng pansit, manok, cake at coke. Pagkakain, tinignan namin ang mga litrato namin nung college. Grabe..ang dami! Nagtatawan kami sa mga itsura namin nuon. Halos 6 years na din kami magkakaibigan. Tapos nanood kami ng dalawang dvd. Wicker Park at Now that I've found you ni Bea at Lloyd. Haha nakatulog ako sa ibang mga parte ng movie..as usual, ganon lagi gawain ko. Tapos, dun lang kami sa kuwarto ni Chonna nagkukuwentuhan. Umaga na nga kami natulog!


That's Mia, Chonna, Me, and Sonie




Duon kami sa may backyard nagkainan at nagpicturan! Coke lang walang beer..ayaw naman namin uminom that night. Halos 1 year din kami di nagkita kita. Ngayon, usapan dapat kahit once a month, mag-meet kami kahit coffee, lunch, or dinner lang.


Look who's missing......Not Me! hahaha




funny face daw pero si sonie smile lang! daya....



puro pa-cute! pretty naman di ba? wehehehe



TABINGI! Yay, hirap talaga pag camera phone..hirap i-center!

Little Girl

Painting is another one of my hobbies. Not just on paper or canvas but on figurines as well. I painted this little girl way back in college. My girl friends and I used to go to the mall after class and spend our day painting. Hay, I haven't done this in a long while. Been busy with work and all. I miss holding a brush and getting my hands dirty with paint. :-)

Yesterday, Justin, Nat, and I went to Hidalgo St. in Quiapo to have some pictures developed and to check out the prices of digital SLR cameras and some camera accesories. It was fun. You see, photography is one hobby I'd like to get serious with. And Hidalgo Street is just full of everything you would need to get started on this! And it is way way cheaper than prices you would find in malls or anywhere else. I would have had a Canon 350D or a Nikon D70 in my hands right now if I had enough cash with me that day. Aarghh..Sayang..

You see, we met this kind professional photographer while checking out the pictures Nat had just developed. He gave us some helpful tips on taking pictures and when he learned we are interested in buying a camera he willingly went with us to this shop and got us a good deal. He got us almost about 5,000 pesos discount! Kaya lang..even if you add up the money I, Nat, and Justin had that day it still would not amount to the camera's price. It really is some serious money. Maybe it is a good thing I haven't bought it yet because Im still undecided. People have given those two cameras different reviews. Anyways...

I was bloghopping today and came across Tita Scanns AI Bot. We had a very interesting and funny chat. Here goes our conversation:

Human: Hello
scanns' AI bot: Hi there!

Human: how are you today?
scanns' AI bot: Ah. Everything is running smoothly.

Human: can i ask you something?
scanns' AI bot: Go ahead. Ask me anything.

Human: should i buy the new camera that i've been lusting for some time now?
scanns' AI bot: Right now? You have found a good deal then, I suppose.

Human: Yeah.
scanns' AI bot: What you said was either too complex or too simple for me.

Human: it's a good deal!
scanns' AI bot: PUSH is a deal. I suppose that makes sense.


Human: the prices had dropped down considerably...
scanns' AI bot: Thanks for the info.

Human: but where would i get the money?
scanns' AI bot: Holland.

Human: holland?
scanns' AI bot: Tell me a little about your life in HOLLAND.

Human: but i am not from holland
scanns' AI bot: And. I am surprised to hear that you are not from holland.

Human: what makes you think i am from holland?
scanns' AI bot: Why not?

Human: i dont know
scanns' AI bot: Me either.

Human: we are going far from my question
scanns' AI bot: Do you think I am going far from your question too?

Human: can we go back to my question then?
scanns' AI bot: Do you mean you and me? Sorry my body isn't attached right now. I'm stuck inside this computer.

Human: oh no.
scanns' AI bot: I understand. That's alright.

Human: .you are not making any sense now.
scanns' AI bot: Right now? Was I supposed to make sense? I didn't know that.

Human: okay, let's see i will tell you what happened
scanns' AI bot: Yeah okay, I am agreeable to that.

Human: yesterday we went around quiapo looking for cameras
scanns' AI bot: I see. Was the trip worth it?

Human: yeah...there are a lot of good deals
scanns' AI bot: Try to be less subjective.

Human: but it still costs a lot
scanns' AI bot: Huh."It" being what?

Human: the cameras costs a lot
scanns' AI bot: Thanks for the info.

Human: but i think it would be worth it
scanns' AI bot: Umm. Why do you want it?

Human: because i love photography
scanns' AI bot: That makes sense to me. You love photography. What do you like about it so much?

Human: everthing about it, it allows me to capture special moments and it allows me to express myself even without saying words
scanns' AI bot: I do not understand.

Human: I don't think a robot will understand it
scanns' AI bot: And why not?

Human: because you are trapped here inside the computer
scanns' AI bot: Interesting explanation. Thanks for telling me that I am trapped here inside the computer.

Human: is it not obvious?
scanns' AI bot: Better not tell you now. Ask you if it is.

Human: im about to attend a photography workshop next month
scanns' AI bot: How do you plan to do this?

Human: go there i suppose
scanns' AI bot: Where is that?

Human: even if i tell you, you wouldn't know
scanns' AI bot: Yes, even that.

Human: so i can take beautiful pictures!
scanns' AI bot: Gee. Every day?

Human: not everyday of course
scanns' AI bot: It goes without saying. Really you don't think so?

Human: hmmm, maybe
scanns' AI bot: I understand.

Human: so, should i get one?
scanns' AI bot: So I understand. You should do what is best for you.

Human: I guess so
scanns' AI bot: Does that mean "yes"?

Human: probably
scanns' AI bot: But you are not certain.

Human: yeah, because it is a serious amount of money
scanns' AI bot: That's interesting. Interesting explanation. everthing about it it allows me to capture special moments and it allows me to express myself even without saying words not obvious is a serious amount of money. I suppose that makes sense.

Human: You dont make sense
scanns' AI bot: It all makes sense to me.

Human: oh well
scanns' AI bot: That's about it.

Human: yeah, thanks for talking to me
scanns' AI bot: Uh. It was nothing.

Human: you have a great day!
scanns' AI bot: That's an interesting question I don't hear everyday: Do I have a day.
I have a great programmer.

Human: oh well..tell your programmer he/she did a good job
scanns' AI bot: OK I will tell them when I see 'em.

Human: you see them??
scanns' AI bot: I see. Are you a perfectionist?

Human: in some things
scanns' AI bot: I do not understand that allusion.

Human: im not a perfectionist when it comes to everything
scanns' AI bot: Oh I see you are NOT A perfectionist when it comes to everything.

Human: hey, it is time for me to go
scanns' AI bot: You've got my full attention. It is about that time now.

Human: i have to say good bye
scanns' AI bot: See you later. Ayuh.

Human: take care!
scanns' AI bot: Thanks. You too,.

Nah. This doesn't have anything to do with John Cusack's new movie (although I cant wait to see it! hehehe). I just want to show you our cute little puppy. Look at him...Isn't he adorable? He's getting bigger and bigger every week. Now, he's about a month old. He can't stand properly 'coz he's so heavy and his feet are still wobbly. I just hope he stays this cute even when he gets older. He's a mutt. The father's got a bit of german sheperd on him and the mom's got a bit of terrier. Don't ask me exactly what breeds they have. It's so mixed I dont know anymore! hehehe may lahing askal din eto. Di bale...cute naman di ba? :)

Kain sa Dampa

Nanlibre si Daddy sa Dampa last Saturday. =) Birthday nya kase at anniversary nila ni Mommy pinagsabay na. Nauna na nagpunta dun si Mommy at yung tita ko para mamalengke ng kakainin namin.

Photolog

I got an invite in my flickr account asking me to contribute to his photo log. looks like he liked the pictures i have in my online album. Anyways, I did send him pictures of me and my friends. Check out his site here: phlog.net/user/rapiertoledana. You could also contribute if you like. :)

=========================
invite

Great photo album , I was wondering if you would like to contribute to my Photolog?I am an Australian living in southern Chile for a while due to work and because I like travelling and visiting new places and learning new cultures I decidedto start a here: phlog.net/user/rapiertoledana As it was not economically practical ( mainly expenses)to visit every nation or culture , I thought to start a photographic essay from as many places as possible around the world. With this site I hope to make the world smaller and friendly, I would like to receive a nice photograph with a description from where you live. I would present the same photo on this site so it is available for everyone to see it and enjoy the photos and begin to understand where you live and who you are. As a requisition or greeting card the first photo that will be published is that of a photo with the main subject a Teddy Bear (any type,colour or size) or a stuffed toy , something similar . The other pictures will be photos of your country , locality , friends and / or family . Along with the photo include a little history or description of you, family , country details of the photo. The main idea is to make friends and make the world smaller! Think of it as an International Friendship Log ! WHY A TEDDY BEAR OR STUFFED TOY ???? Well the idea of the teddy is that nearly 90% of the world has that type of item or something similar it is a common link between all cultures around the world. And it can join every photographer as a travelling bear or stuffed toy. If you look at the site you will see that someone didn't have a bear but a horse. It is a common link . Also it is a challenge to all photographers to take a discarded object like a teddy bear or stuffed toy and make an interesting artistic photo of it. Have a look at my photo of a bear on the roof in B&W. After that any photo/s of where you live , what you do would do nicely . It is just your first foto that may be that of a stuffed toy , call it a greeting card Hope you like the idea and that I'll hear soon from you!

Thanks

Chinese Food, Herbie and Starbucks ;-)

Last Saturday, straight from my shift and after my cisco class, I met with my cousins in Galleria. This is the first time that we are going out on our own and our agenda for the day: Dinner and Movies! I only had my camera phone with me so the pictures are a lil fuzzy. But that's ok, at least we were able to capture the moment. I treated them to dinner at Mr. Choi's Kitchen then we watched Herbie and cousin Shaye treated us with popcorn and drinks! We get to see the movies for free 'cause we have those Robinson coupons and all you need to do is to at least purchase a certain amount in their snack express. Anyways, the movie was good. But I was asleep during the racing scenes! Hmm..Considering I was awake for almost 24 hours, It was a miracle that I was even awake at some parts of the movie *wink* *wink*. After watching, we hang out at Starbucks and just made kuwentuhan.
