I decided to change the look of my site. The old one seems too heavy and most of the pictures are delayed to load. Hope this new look will elapse in long period of time.
Frankly, the main reason why I change the theme of my blog is because I want to divert all my anxiousness in predicting my future as an employee. It’s been 4 months and 29 days since NGCP takes over the operation of TransCo and until now its employees are frightened they might be jobless in a month. The postponement of releasing the concessionaire’s Table of Organization (TO) feels like they’re murdering us inch-by-inch.
They’ve said, the releasing of TO will be next week, will this be a new change for all of us?
It seems that it was only yesterday we parted our ways from college. It’s nice to see old faces again. Leah Rosa, Irene and Ira haven’t change a bit, they still managed to maintain their long and silky black hair. Leah got her haircut some few months ago (in freshair i suppose) and me getting a summer-look. Dodong and Irene’s relationship gets stronger everytime I see them together. Leah Rosa and Ira is now a “Mom”, dragging along their “chikitings” that made us busy (mga ki-at kaayo hehehe…) during dinner. I sensed maturity as we talked our responsibilities at home and at work. It shows that we are fully aware that we’re no longer kids. But still, childish-like would emerged unto us the time we entered timezone where we spend half of our time with the kids. Bump-cars, jeepy-ride, get-that-toy (is this really the name?) and hulog-hulog piso, you name it. We really had a great time.
And I can’t wait for our next get together.
Mr. Polentinos, my supervisor and mentor, shared this wonderful article from Reader’s Digest Philippines (March 2009 edition). This will gave us a photography technique that would treasure for a lifetime, not unless the photography world diminished. So, here it goes:
HOW TO LOOK GOOD IN FAMILY PHOTOS
“Knowing how to take a fabulous photo will be the difference between great memories and memories where you wish you were cropped out of the frame,” says image consultant and author Clare Maxfield. Put her tips into action now.
FOR THE FACE:
- Stick your tongue to the roof of your mouth as you smile. It reduces the double-chin effect.
- Keep your chin down for a flattering line. And title your head slightly for a more friendly/flirtatious look.
- Say cheese! This is not as silly as sounds. It opens your mouth into a natural smile.
- Natural make-up is best. Rich, shiny lip-gloss can make lips appear too large, so use sparingly.
- Have the photographer stand above you so your chin is naturally facing down and your eyes widen.
FOR THE BODY:
- Hold your elbows out from your body. Think chicken wings, only avoid the squawk!
- Give your body a slight twist. Turn your feet away from the camera and bring your body around from your waist for a slimmer and shapelier look.
- Medium-tone colours are best. Very light colours can make you look larger, which dark colours can get lost in the picture.
- Don’t wear too many patterns. If you are a large person, avoid even prints as they’re easier to follow and will emphasize your size.
This article is given merit to Maya Zahran whose unselfishly share this tip to everyone.

Summer has just begun and what a way to spend my early summer escapade is to spend it in Boracay with Eman’s family (my Paparts). I’ve never been there and many of my colleagues mentioned that Boracay is such an awesome paradise.
I’ve purchased the tickets two months before the scheduled date and it made me a thrill to feel the ambiance of what I’ve seen over the internet. I admit, my imagination runs wild and my expectations goes higher and higher when I read every review on local traveler forums and blogs (PEX etc).
February 22nd came, the scheduled date for our trip. Around 7:30AM, we boarded the Cebu Pacific going to Iloilo City. Frankly, it was my first time on a turbo propeller plane and it made me nervous seeing such a tiny 40-seater plane from the MCIAA departure lounge.
Thirty-two (32) minutes flying on-air seems endless for me, my feelings were quite mixed. I’m nervous that our plane might have a problem and I am also excited to see my Paparts (the last time I’ve seen him was over a month ago) but I am more excited to see Boracay personally.
We arrived at Sta Barbara Airport at 8:32AM, claimed our baggage and wait another hour for the van we hired going to Caticlan. The trip was quite long, it takes us 4 hours to take a five-minute boat ride from Caticlan to Boracay Island.

On the day of the valentines day, Maxwell & Kristine tie their knot for a new beginning.
I’ve known Kristine for more than a year from work. She’s a strong willed lady on her late twenties. An extraordinary colleague I have encountered in 7 years in the industry.
I am not their photographer but a friend who witnessed the occasion that they would treasure for a lifetime. I’m quite pleased that I could sneak a couple of shots during the ceremony.
To Maxwell and Kristine, goodluck to your lifetime journey.

I didn’t shoot RAW during the Cebu’s world-class Sinulog Festival. It is clearly stated on the Photo Contest guidelines. I didn’t registered to win the contest, I just want to get a pass for the enjoyment during the Grand Parade. One can go beyond the rope fence and take pictures as many as you like.
A Festival Queen uttered her prayer before the Sinulog 2009 street dancing started.
Frankly, I tried to copy the subject of the 1st Prize Sinulog 2008 Photo Contest - Sidelights Category (link here) . hehehe.. peace, sir dan.
…the Festival Queen of Tribu Kabatok from Tacloban (which bagged the top prize in Tacloban’s Sangyaw Festival)
Though I didn’t pass any entries, I considered it as a lifetime and a rewarding experience.

Bantayan is a magnificent island, and currently known as Cebu’s semi-secret little island Paradise (small numbers of travelers over the years have slowly been putting the word out). This is located of the northern tip of Cebu’s mainland.
Getting in Bantayan Island is quite a weary, you need to travel 3 hours by land and an hour by sea. But once you get there, the exhaustion will be eliminated when you see the sand twinkling under the bright sun. It’s good to escape the demanding job after all.
