Lights

Fun Fact #1: Lights

"It is visible.
But I can also be invisible."

I've always fancied taking bokeh shots ever since the first time I was able to use a 50mm lens on my Elder sister's Nikon D700.

It actually inspired me and brought me into the world of photography. (although I wish someday I can be considered as a photographer)

So there we were, me and one of my best of friends, pointing and shooting the lights after a long tiring day. around our school campus trying to relax our minds.

The way different colors mixed, overlapping each other in different levels of opacity and texture on a dark starry night always seemed to make me space out.

You? What relaxes your mind? :)

When observing and stalking collide

So we were tasked today by our MC Elect C ( Theatre Arts ) instructor to observe a subject for 40 minutes in designated areas.

We had to observe the character's Principles and everything about them.. mannerism, self-grooming, the way they speak, the way they react... and much more. Although we had to keep a low profile.

Jamming off with group mates we started spotting off people and the way they act.. I myself knew I wouldn't last long for 40 minutes trying to fake my presence and maintaining this profile.

As moments passed subjects came and left... although our challenge was to have a subject that actually stayed for 40 minutes. If the person had left in a shorter period than the allotted time, consider your observation void.

Deep in my mind I knew I was looking for someone.. someone who would make my day.

My mind flew while trying to look for a victim, and there I found myself staring at someone who looked familiar from a distance.

I stoop up thinking it must have been someone I had known, an old classmate or a recent friend or acquaintance. Moments later I found myself following the person with my eyes from corner to corner.
I then had realized it that was a person I had idolized and looked forward to seeing back in my first year college days. Cause I knew deep inside it would make my day.

I did know the person although I never took time to realize if I was staring blankly or had already been discovered spacing out, therefore me being the victim.

Then I thought to myself.. was I observing or stalking?
You decide.

Amalayer?

AMALAYER? AMALAWYER? AMASORRY? AMADOVEGIRL AND I LOVE IT?

Phrases that went viral in just a day gaining 19 thousand comments and more to come since the last time I viewed the video.

Polls on "Amaledigard" and "Amalayer" have been swarming up websites, Facebook to be one of them, causing more and more commotion to a situation.

My bubble on the issue ( which has currently subsided ) was that since I had been through the same situation as the victim of Netizens.

As far as I've observed..
One, I find nothing typically wrong with her accent.
Two, She could've been having a bad day like everyone else
Three, Self defense... come on people, if someone gave you attitude and you bursted on the spot, then the other party denies in public who wouldn't react? It maybe have looked like she over reacted but we all could've done it. She was just unlucky someone caught it on tape.
Four, People barely know the real story, those who speak and degrade her are fools. Attacking her with comments when they never actually witnessed the happening.
Lastly, People just exaggerated it, making it viral so they would have another issue to rant about on the web.

I saw this brave soul's post and read throughout it... That's right... Give her a break.. You would've asked for the same if you were in her situation..

It wouldn't hurt to be sweet. ;)

A sweet tooth is not that bad. Take a pick, open up, smile, and take a break and a bite.
Who said sweets were bad? Not unless you're diabetic then I guess so.

Sweets changes a person's mood. believe it or not. And obvious fact it is. Especially since I'm a chocolate lover.

A bite or two will cure you. I once told a friend who was bitter as a bitter gourd after a long hard day.
She took a bite, sooner or later we ended up laughing.
not sure if she was faking it, but then we ended up thinking on the brighter side of things.

Sweets are sweet. no one can deny it. (well duh)
I've had too much for the rest of my life, trying to taste every type of chocolate.

Don't know if it's a drug but I call it that way.
just remember.


Earth is the only planet with chocolate existing.
So save the earth!


Oh... and the chocolates too! ;)

Mass Com? Hmm...

"Arangkada Balita"

the name we gave our major project on TV and Speech Performance for our own News Package as a Final Requirement as a third year college student.

"not everything you see on TV is real"
and old quote I remembered as a kid.

I wondered if it were real. So there I took it as a challenge to actually experience the training behind the camera.

And here goes the confession of a MassCom student who barely knows what she's talking about.

Love Media? Go for MassCom
Love News? Go for MassCom
Love Reporting? Go for MassCom
Love Acting? Try Jumping off a bridge.

Just kidding with the last one.

MassCom's a heck of a course. Doesn't mean it doesn't have math it's gonna be easy.

So far, where I'm standing now somehow tells me what you see from TV is not real is partially a lie
but what you hear could be the truth hidden in a lie.

But what ever it is, I'm a Proud Mass Communication student.

Youth For Jo

Youth For Jo,
An overnight vigil at school.

The first time I brought my new baby, the d5100 for a test-shot throughout the night.
A time where me and best-friends decided to join for it finally after 3 years of studying in our University.

It was a night to remember where students stayed up late for a concert to start with, the activity of bringing us and our friends closer to God and after were contest of the best Pedro Calungsod and also an acoustic jam and other intermission numbers. The event was then followed by a mass at 6 o clock in the morning.

There rest were moments to open up, stargaze and reflect on things that had been happening in our lives.

Although students like me who had 7am classes by the next morning had to suffer from a sleepless night but ended up being hyper in the end. (not to mention almost a day without having a shower... felt---really awkward)

As a person who has experienced this event, I therefore advice you students in other years to attend this every Second Semester of the school year under or not of any religious education courses.

Trust me. It was fun.
I used to say it was a waste of time or an overnight that my parents would surely forbid me of. But in the end, I took back all old assumed ideas and replaced them with ideas that night hard marked up in my head.

Guess all overnights are really fun.
