25th Anniversary of EDSA People Power

Today's the 25th anniversary of the EDSA revolution. T'was in 1986 when the revolution arises and the people of the Republic of the Philippines became one and marched to EDSA to fight for their freedom from the dictatorship of the late president; Ferdinand Marcos and to free the country from martial law. The country was under Marcos' regime for 23 years and it has ended when the late first female president; President Corazon Aquino, stepped up, took the challenge and fought the Marcoses and she successfully brought them into their knees. This was the only bloodless revolution ever recorded in the history of the world. Prayers, faith to GOD and faith to the power of the people were the only weapons they've used against the then administration.

We are now celebrating and commemorating the said revolution which gives us the opportunity to enjoy our freedom.



We should be thankful to those who bravely gamble their lives back then by barricading their selves in front of the war tanks and in front of hundreds of soldiers who are just waiting for the orders from their then commander-in-chief.

Thank you very much! Your efforts have paid off and all of us are enjoying the freedom that we have right now.

To all Filipinos out there, "Isapuso at isadiwa natin ang alaala ng unang EDSA people power. Tayo'y tumayong muli at isulong ang pagbabago. MABUHAY TAYONG MGA PILIPINO!"

My Experimental Shots

I'm so excited and motivated to use my camera(Ayumi). Been practicing for awhile on how to take good pictures with great angles and subjects. Here are some of the pictures I took using Ayumi.


These are the red Jelly Fish at the Ocean Park.


And these are the blue jelly fish.


A glimpse of Luneta Park at night. Took a picture of the Jose Rizal monument at a different angle just to avoid mediocrity.


The musical fountain of Luneta. Most people gather around it and watch it till the ungodly hours of the day.


The Manila Post Office... kinda creepy though. =$


Catching the sunset by the bay.

More photos to come and more to post!

Experimental Photos

I'm studying on how to edit photos, a self-study though, and I'm trying to apply it on to some of my favorite pictures taken by myself of course! Please see photos below and leave comments on how to improve it.


This was taken yesterday at the seaside of Mall of Asia while waiting for the sun to set.

Another view of the sea.

WTF!!! TAX???


I thought I started my day right yesterday. I felt like I woke up at the right side of the bed coz everything seems to be OK... but unfortunately at the end of the day, I was wrong.

I was so frustrated and disappointed after checking my pay for the last cut-off. I was expecting it to be somewhat big since I worked my ass off during the holidays and I have some overtime as well. I learned that I have a very huge amount of deduction due to tax deficit for last year. Never crossed my mind that it will come up to that certain amount. It all ruined my plans and budget. Everything has been divided before I got my pay. Now... I don't know what to do.

Since I already made some commitments, I must go on with it coz its hard for me to hold back. I will just try to sacrifice a little and will tighten my belt until the next payday.

I just hope that I'll be satisfied of what I'll be getting for the next salary period.

2010 seems like the beginning and the end for me. It has been a roller coaster ride but eventually, the ride is still worth while. It's now the right time for me to say goodbye to you 2010. Thank you for all the memories!



Welcome 2011!!! I know that it's gonna be challenging for me to face you but I'm all geared up and ready to collide with you head on! I just hope and pray that you've instored lotsa good things for me. SURPRISE me 2011! Surprise me!!! =)
