Last night, we saw the American version of the 2004 Thai horror flick “Shutter”. We saw the original a couple of months ago, I liked the plot, but the lack of sub-titles made the experience lacking. Although there were slight variations in the story line, both films have the same basic plot — spirits can [...]
Warning: NOT for overly sensitive people.
One of the greatest pleasures of photography is to chance upon subjects that are naturally interesting.
Take the sign at the back of this truck, for instance.
The sign says “katas ng kurikung”. Obviously, “kurikung” is a misspelling of “kurikong” which is defined by the Urban Dictionary as “a very rough [...]
Somewhere between the excitement over buying a new house and the horror of surgery are the forgotten photos from Speedy’s Puerto Galera trip last month. I remember saying I’d post them after the sunset photos but my mind had been elsewhere most of the time (like 10 minutes away from our house) and I just plain forgot.
These photos somehow makes me envious that as small as Speedy’s camera is, it can can do one important thing that mine can’t. Perhaps, someday, when I can afford the underwater housing for my dSLR…
We watch movies at night. When school’s out, no one’s obliged to wake up early the next morning so we sometimes spend the entire night watching movies. So, breakfast hour is a little screwed. We have breakfast sometime after midnight which should make it something between a midnight snack and a regular breakfast.
A few nights ago, Sam busied herself in the kitchen and whipped up some crepes which she served with sliced fresh bananas drizzled with golden syrup.
For the past several days, I have been answering e-mailed interview questions. Some, food-related; others, not. One particular question was memorable: “How do you find something interesting enough to write about everyday?”
I’m afraid I gave the interviewer a very short answer. Sorry, but that happened when my DSL connection was down and I was [...]
Speedy and his officemates were in Puerto Galera for three days last week. It was a company-sponsored outing so I couldn’t go with him. He did bring home a lot of photos though.
These sunset photos were taken from the roof deck of Paul’s Place where they stayed.
The title, of course, is a line from one of the many thought-provoking dialogues in what must be my favorite movie of all time, The Matrix. It seemed to be the most accurate phrase to describe the following photos of the egrets preying on fish raised by man for food and profit.
The photos were taken [...]
Mention Panay Island and the story of the golden salakot comes to mind. The Maragtas Chronicles tell the story of the ten datus who escaped from Borneo and arrived in Panay. Story has it that in exchange for a golden salakot (a wide brimmed native hat), the Bornean datus bought the island from the Aetas [...]
