Field Trip!

Today I am privileged to have been part of this trip to Bulacan where we visited one of Phil's best furniture makers. Thanks to Ate Cecile, who is about to launch a collaborative piece with Locsin Furniture. She took me with her to visit their factory to see a sample weaving.

At first I was so scared to ask if i can take pictures at the factory but when Ate Cecile finally brought out her camera, i nervoursly asked permission also. I refused though to take pictures of their pieces (i was still scared). Instead, i took pictures of some things that inspired me.

Look at how they wrap the chairs..

I wonder if i can have my dining set like this. Haha

Blurred photo, arrrrgh

Sleek industrial fan
Wild weaving!

This Feels Home

Sa dinami-dami ng oras kong nasayang kakapili ng cute na theme sa tumblr ay babalik din pala ako dito. Kaya heto, magsisimula ako ulit mag-post dito sa madrama kong mundo.

Pansamantala, gusto kong magsulat sa sarili kong wika. Wala lang, gusto ko lang masanay. Pasensya na kung ingles ang pamagat ko sa post na ito. Corny kasi kapag tinagalog ko.

Haay, siguro bukas ay magsisimula akong sumulat ng liham sa minamamahal kong kaibigan. Sana lang at marunong syang mag-internet para mabasa nya ito. Siguro inaasahan pa nya ang liham kong galing sa kartero. Excuse me, hindi na uso yun ano. Iba na ang panahon ngayon. Pa-blog-blog nalang. Buong mundo makakabasa ng sinasaloob mo.

O sya, inaantok na ako. Bukas na lang ulit. May pupuntahan akong launch ng isang fashion magazine bukas, hindi ko alam ang isusuot ko. Kaibigan ko kasi ang nag-imbita, bahala na.

From Blogger to Tumblr

See you there!

battery not included

saw the social network today. i am a bit depressed. not because of the film but because i know anything like that could happen to anyone. stories about stealing ideas, about not getting proper recognition for your hardwork, etc.. all that drama. whew, i can't breathe. screw this. never quite learned how to make friends with time. god help me.

Found It

I've been tinkering with my camera for months now but because i don't read manuals, i always need a friend to teach me how to maximize its features. For example, i've been trying to get that nostalgic/holga feel for the longest time. I didn't want to believe that only photoshop can do it. I believe my lumix too can. So i asked my colleague Sam how it can be achieved. Because he has an LX5, he somehow knew the right settings for it so he taught me.

Here's my retro setting for my Gf1

But drawback is once you set it to retro, it's fixed and you can no longer adjust the other settings like shutter speed, etc..can't even use flash

Good thing there's a setting where you can customize color, saturation and brightness. Hence this

And this. Not bad?


But i'm jealous of my friend Sam's LX5 because his has a "pinhole" setting where you can actually compare the photo quality to a Holga

And you can adjust other settings like white balance etc. while you're switched to pinhole mode. So kewl!

Yet i have to say, i still love my lumix GF1. Won't trade it for anything. Haha.

Hit Me With Music

One good thing about music
Is when it hits
You feel no pain

One good thing about music
Is that when it hits
You feel no pain

So hit me with music
Hit me with music
Hit me with music
Brutalize me with music
