JULIANNE CAMILLE & ME

JULY 8, 2006 around 8pm Philippine time 3 hours before our schedule flight of 11 pm Manila- Dubai.
My family was hold on the Philippine Airport counter because of
Julianne’s ticket, her ticket is been question of " Why is she
travelling with an infant ticket when she is already a child , because
she turn 2yrs old last july 5. this means she should have a "child
ticket" and who knows that there is a difference between 1 yrs old
ticket and 2 yrs old ticket. We had a big argument on the airport but
still our effort are less, either the 3 of us should be re-booked which
they cannot promise of which date of the month or she should stay. My
wife start to cry and the pressure is with us now its almost 11:00 pm.
then the whole 9 - 10 hours flight are full of silent. im thinking to
myself, Is my decision right? Why i didn’t fight for my daughter? Why i
leave her alone to my sister? Should I be blame of the Agency not
informing us of the difference between 1 to 2 yrs old ticket, which
infact she just turn 2yrs and 3 days on the date we supposed to travel.

I promise to you my daughter that very very soon we will be together again.

From the movie " the ring" here comes another horrifying movie of the century

entitled " the secluded" sepated from others since birth.

Secluded,

This picture is already secluded from the rest of my experimental shot due of very poor lighting. but everytime i see this picture , i had the feeling of the movie " the ring". So i decided to do some PP and try to share it to you guys.

PP :

Duplicate layers into 2
1st copy converted to b/w
2nd duplicate convert to sepia tone
2nd copy to overlay
adjust level
Add border
add title with almost same theme with " the ring"

Color Increases Memory

If a picture is worth a thousand words, a picture with natural colors may be worth a million, memory-wise. Psychologists have documented that "living color" does more than appeal to the senses. It also boosts memory for scenes in the natural world.

By hanging an extra "tag" of data on visual scenes, color helps us to process and store images more efficiently than colorless (black and white) scenes, and as a result to remember them better, too

Balsa- They it call "balsa" a bamboo bridge connecting my wife place to the next "city center" or "down town". the experience is unexplainable specially with me, my 1st time to cross the bridge like this and my most worry is i’m carrying a camera.

This is a Farmer’s Best buddies - Kalabaw.

We just arrive at around 7am and i saw this group of farmer in front of my wife’s house almost leaving, thats why i immediately grab the camera and take a least a shots. I was informed that this group of farmer usually start around 3-4 am before the sun came out. luckily i get one shots.

"KALESA" which means a horse-driven carriage. It has two round wheels on each side and two rows of seats that can accommodate four persons. The driver sits in a block of wood hosted over the tip of the cart near the horse. as you can see, julianne our daughter sitting along with her cousin’s is enjoying the ride.

Julianne, Ceejay and Jaycee enjoying a cold shower using the portable pump.

Native  Chicken- so delicious, so tasty, so yummy……. don’t worry guys we didn’t eat this chicken we when to Down town market to buy chicken.

Kaninang umaga ito sa SAFA PARK, gumising kami ng mga 5am nagbukas ang park ng 8am kaya hayun sobrang init na tapos nagmamadali akong umuwi para maka-abot sa simba…

Mahirap na masarap ang experience kong ito kasi una hinahabol mo yung subject, hinahabol mo kung nasaan yung bola, pangalawa kapag na focus mo na ay wala na yung bola sa subject, pangatlo kung ang bola ay paparating sa iyo feel mo aabutan ka dahil sa zoom ng camera kaya bigla kang tatayo  aalis sa pwesto mo para umilag, na-imagine ba ninyo di ba masaya.

o comment na man kayo dyan.

thanks

jon

pasensya na kayo medyo na una yung hiya kaya konti lang ang kuha. bawi na lang ako ulit sa 1st bday.

cheers
