Himlayang Pilipino [25July10]
It's been two weeks since I last used my camera and it was a good thing that we went to the cemetery to visit my grandma's grave. Himlayang Pilipino, located in Tandang Sora Quezon City, boasts of its rich Filipino heritage where it houses the shrines of two of the Philippine National Heroes, Melchora Aquino (Tandang Sora) and Gen. Emilio Jacinto. The place also displays art pieces, such as stone/brass sculptures depicting Filipino culture/history, Baltazar's Florante and Laura, and the legend of Malakas and Maganda among others.*
I now share what other photographers hate when shooting, getting halted by the guards. Its a good thing I already finished when they asked me to secure a permit. I really don't understand why they require a permit to shoot in a cemetery, where there's no one (for sure) who'll plan to blow the place up. Anyway, hope you enjoy some of my shots. It's quite a few since I was in a hurry due to the rain. Ciao! XD

Rebuilding?
Are the Cavaliers relying on their old members less LeBron and Big Z to win the championship? They should acquire new players if Dan Gilbert really wants to stay true to his word in snatching one before LeBron.

Wildboyz : The Quezon Project [10-11July2010]
On our second year photo-trip anniversary, we spent the past weekend in Quezon Province. The original Wildboyz, Mot, Ryan, Raymond and I, welcomed our fellow high school buddy Mykko in an unforgettable adventure filled with burn-sessions, gastronomic challenges, tests of physical and mental endurance, and of course, non-stop laughter.
Our first stop was in Taytay Falls in Majayjay, (we like to pronounce it as Ma-jey-jey for a masculine feel) Laguna. I can't believe we survived after passing through the treacherous steep and unfinished roads, meeting town-folks armed with bolos (HUGE knife), and hiking for 15 minutes with no lights in the path. After seeing the waterfall and the rocks, we completely forgot all our stress and hunger, so we quickly set-up our gears and started shooting.
We reached the Tayabas proper around 730pm and hurriedly went to Mot's Aunt's place to leave our things and eat dinner. I am thankful that I still live after meeting the Hounds of Hell in the house (Owner: Mot, wag mo muna buksan yung gate baka kainin sila). I think the writer of Resident Evil movie also went there and got the idea of T-virus injected dogs that eats whatever flesh it can see. Then, we ate at Mi Casa de Tayabas and ordered lots and lots (and lots and loooots) of food, then went back to watch Taken in DVD.
The boyz woke up at 4am and immediately went to Malagonlong Bridge, one of the oldest bridge (160 years old) in the Philippines. It was hard to pass through the rocks because everything was unstable and slippery so I wasn't able to take many pictures. The fun began when we photo-tripped in the middle of the new highway bridge, where we needed to avoid all incoming traffic (composed of trucks, cars, motorcycles, bicycles and a police car). We did many poses in the middle of the road but the highlight shot of the day was our unique group jumping shot courtesy of Ryan's cam.

Since Mot attended another photo-shoot, the remaining Wildboyz went back to the HQ at around 9am for another movie trip (The Crazies) , and since its movie time, we bought a half gallon Nestle Baby Ruth flavored ice cream to enhance our bum experience. After we had our well-deserved siesta, we ate lunch (at around 5pm) in Kamayan sa Palaisdaan and ordered lots and lots (and lots and lots) of food, again.
Our Quezon Project was a very memorable experience. Nothing beats bro-bonding that shares a common passion for photography, music and eating. I hope we can continue this tradition to inspire others and bring in new members because as the saying goes, "the more, the manyer.
