Black Label Campaign: Social Awareness for Addiction (Drug and Smoking)

Black Label Pictorial

Disclaimer:
I am not addict. There are only two things that I'm addicted to right now, GYM & PHOTOGRAPHY. I use SHISHA(HOOKAH) in this picture not a real cigarette for smoke effect.

Lahat naman tayo alam ang masamang epekto sa ng mga masasamang bisyo di lamang sa katawan kundi sa pamumuhay na natin. I made this photo para ipakita na ako sa sarili ko AWARE ako sa mga bagay na pwede maidulot droga at paninigarilyo. This may be too harm for someone and make another interpretation sa picture ko na to. But I just made it for art sake and social awareness.

We found Love in a Hot Air place!

Big Cake Hot Air Balloon

Wow as in wow. It's so nice to see hot air balloons in different shapes lalong lalo na itong BIG CAKE. Natuwa talaga kami dito. One of my friends is celebrating her month-long birthday kaya nung nakita namin yung cake na to sabi namin "WOW yan na pala ung cake mo eh!! hehehehe. Nakakatuwa lang. Parang kaming mga bata na nakatingala sa langit habang abot tenga ang ngiti. All of the people there was dreaming and hoping na sana pwede silang makasakay sa Hot Air Balloon habang lumilipad sa ere tyempre isa na kami dun. Pwede naman eh kung meron kang 300, not pesos but $300 for just one ride!! Grabe di lang sya basta sasakay ah as in you will travel in nowhere, nakakatakot lang kaya baka liparin ung balloon kung saan kaya di ko na papangarapin na makasakay dun. Pero kung libre naman why not. 

Straight from the office, umuwi lang ako sandali para maligo at mag ayos ng baon at kakailanganin pa namin. Kaya sobrang wala akong tulog that time sobrang haggard kasi kung hindi kami aalis ng madaling araw wala kaming maaabutang hot air balloon. They setting-up the balloons around 5:30 am so you should be there by that time para makita mo kung papaano binubuo at lumipad ang mga naglalakihang lobo!! 

Beautiful sunrise behind the Balloons

This picture reminds me that there's always tomorrow that we should look forward to and there's today that we should work hard.

Openshoot Happiness: a Coca-cola Inspired  campaign. 

As an artist, I really want to share my talent to others. In fact, I organize an open photoshoot to all my friends, friends of friends and collegues. And this is definitely FREE for all. I do believe that money can't buy us happiness so I don't get paid by doing this. I've got the talent, skills, and tools so why not share it to others right? I get inspired by the coca-cola campaign when they will give free coke to all. Many people ask me why am I doing this? my answer " I just want people to be happy and have a wonderful start for summer 2012. The openshoot started last February 4, 2012 and still going until last day of march.

What's the color of summer???

Love Stories: From Bitter to Better

This Feb-month I decided na gumawa na stories about love. I know lahat naman tayo nakaranas na ng love pero ano ba talaga ang love para sayo at ano ang madududlot nito sa atin. LOVE or LUST. Sa akin, wish ko hindi lang basta LOVE and LUST, kundi LOVE that will LAST forever.

Love is Tears.

Sino pa ang hindi umiyak ng dahil sa pag-ibig. Malamang sa malamang di pag-ibig ung naramadaman mo kung hindi ka napaiyak dahil dito.Tears is not a sign of weakness but it is a sign of truth and honesty to yourself. Nahihiya man tayo ipakita sa iba na umiiyak tayo pero lalabas at lalabas din yan. There's a point that you will cry for no reasons, just like out of the blue your tears will just drop to your face and fall down to the floor. Tears represent strong emotion that shows what we really feel.

A lot reason why we cry. Hurt, Grudge, Regrets, Hate, Sadness, Sorrow, Gloom, Depression and many more. But then it can be Tears of Joy.

Ang mali sa mga taong umiibig at nasasaktan. They keep on hiding their feelings and parang isinasangtabi lang ang mga bagay bagay na nakakasakit sa kanila. For me that's wrong dahil nag-iimbak ka lang ng timba-timba na luha sa puso mo to the point na malulunod ka na at sa huli ilalabas mo rin ng tado tado hanggang sa manghina ka. 

 Love is TIME!

When it comes to love, we invest time. Time para makilala ang isa't isa, time para mag-usap at magkasama. You know the feeling na parang humihinto ang oras kapag nagmamahal ka?. May mga kanta pa nga na nag sasabi "oras-oras iniisip ka, bawat minuto naaalala ka.". Sobrang exagge di ba. And so crazy. 

Pag in-love, there's no next time. Dapat sugod lang ng sugod. Mahirap isang bahala ang nararamdaman. At dapat wala ring two time para walang nasasaktan, nakakainis ang ung mga kanta like torn between two lovers. Kakaasar di ba! Edi sya na sya na talaga ang may dalawang minamahal o nagmamahal.

Pero sa akin, wala dapat tayong aksayahin na oras, at wag na wag tayo manghihinayang sa oras na ginugol natin sa pag- ibig, tayo ma'y mabigo. Dahil darating din ang araw na magbabalik sa ating isipan na minsan sa buhay natin may oras na tayo na nagmahal.

Love is MASK.

Magpakatotoo ka. Kailanman di mo maloloko ang sarili mo. Show what you really feel and who you are! Take away that mask na bumabalot sa kalooban mo. Dahil yan lang ang paraan para maging maluwag ang pakiramdam mo.

Kaya nga kapag nagmahal ka kailangan totoo, walang tinatago. Ipakita mo kung gaano kamahal ang isang tao nang walang pagpapanggap. Dahil di mo alam na sa pagpapanggap mo ibang tao na pala ang minahal nya at hindi ikaw.

 Love is a GIFT.

Oh yes kakatapos na ng valentine’s day, as if I care hehe. Bitter? Lol Joke lang. Pagdating sa love tyempre di maaalis dyan ang pagbibigayan ng regalo. Every Weeksary, Monthsary, Anniversary grabe lahat na ata meron pati DAYSARY? OMG! Pero we really cherish those gifts na binibigay sa atin lalo na kung galing sa taong pinakamamahal mo. Sarap sa feeling na may nagbibigay sayo di ba?

Ano ba ang kalamitang nireregalo. I think for me ang walang kupas na teddy bear. Highshool pa lang ako usong uso na yan. Lahat ng halos nang nakakasalubong ko sa school every Feb may bitbit na BLUE MAGIC paper bag hindi ko nga malaman kung binili lang nila un sa sarili nila or may nagbigay talaga. hehe at nakakatawa pa nito araw araw bitbit ang paper bag lalagyanan ng libro, PE uniform at kung ano ano pa. Hahaha.

Minsan natatawa ako sa iba kapag nakipagbreak na sila sa mga syota nila, hala, ung mga regalo na nabigay sa kanila tinatapon or pinamimigay. Ilalagay sa baul at ibabaon sa lupa. How BITTER you are?? Sayang kaya kung itatapon mo lang di ba. At least it will serve as a remembrance na minsan sa buhay mo may nagmahal sayo.

Pero sa tingin ko, walang hihigit na materyal na bagay kung ang IREREGALO mo ay ang pag-ibig mo!! That’s the only thing na pinakaaasam ng lahat. Meron ka ngang yaman pero aaanhin mo naman ito kung nag- iisa ka.

Love is a GIFT of GOD! All we need to do is to spread it and share it. NOT LITERALLY!! Noone can exactly describe what LOVE is; all of us have his own interpretation and expression. Just wait and time will come that you’ll be surprised that one day THAT GIFT will fall down in front of you!! 

 Love is HUG.

Sa panahong ganito. Malamig at umuulan. Ang ninanais nais lang natin ay sana may tao tayong kayakap yakap. 

Hug symbolizes trust. Kasi kapag may kayakap ka, hindi mo sya nakikita. Try mo kaya yumakap ng harapan. Hehehehe iba na un!! 

Sa buhay kasi natin may kanya kanya tayong pinagdadaan. At nakakagaan ng pakiramdam kapag may taong nag cocomfort sayo whenever you're down. Ika nga "Shoulder to cry on".

Love is KISS.

The question is, "when is your first kiss? And who?. Tyempre di na dapat dito kasama ang parents at kamag-anak. What I am saying is, romantic kiss. Kahit anong klaseng kiss pa yan. Even nga sa pisngi kino- consider natin na kiss. Kasi di mo nakakalimutan iyong pangyayari na yon. Kinilig ka ba? Or nasampal mo yung tao na humalik sayo?? Haha. Minsan kasi di mo alam kung papaano mag react sa ganitong panahon.

Alam mo ba may pag-aaaral pa nga na nagsasabi na nakakatulong sa cardio natin ang kiss? Narinig ko lang sya somewhere(radio) kasi daw bumibilis ang tibok ng puso at parang ngjogging ka na when you do kissing. Natawa nga ako, sabi ko na lang anong klaseng kiss kaya un. Ma-try ko kaya hehe joke.

For me, kiss is just a kiss if without feelings. I can kiss someone pero hanggang dun lang yun. Kiss make us realize kung mahal mo ba or true feeling talaga ang nararamdaman mo for that person. Wala naman yan sa, how often you kissed? Eh. Nasa tamis at right timing yan.

An EPIC experience. Anawangin, Zambales

Anawangin Cove, Zambales

I really don't know how to start blogging. But then I will do it now. This will be my first post.

Someone told me that this picture was an EPIC. And I agree. Gustong gusto ko na sa bawat lugar na pinupuntahan ko may kakaiba akong ginagawa. Sabi ko nga, take away that jump shot na kadalasan na ginagawa natin, strike a pose na siguradong magtatatak at wala pang nakakagawa. 

Tatlo kaming magkakaibigan na pumunta sa anawangin. We decided to go kahit bumabagyo pa nun. Actually, it was planned ahead of time by my officemates, so dapat marami talaga kami nun. Pero yung target date namin, hala binagyo ba naman. so di natuloy then we decided na next week na lang. Hindi pa rin tumugil ang ulan that time as in whole week umuulan. kaya nun tila tumila saglit ang ulan tinuloy pa rin namin kahit talo lang kami. Di ko na rin siguro makwekwento lahat lahat ng naranasan namin bago at pagkatapos namin makapunta kasi nga sa sobrang dami na nangyari.

There's a lot of stories behind this picture. Unang una na dyan tyempre "How the picture was taken?". Sa tulong ng kasama ko and camera stand ayun pinapapindot ko lang ung shutter at ako na ang bahala mag pose. Tiyagaan lang talaga, grabe napagod talaga ako nun at ung mga bantay sa Cove hala nagtitinginan na sa akin pero sabi ko, "walang akong pakialam, di ko naman sila kilala at vice versa so there's nothing to  be ashamed of." hehe. That day, I realized that day na may ganito pa palang kagandang lugar na medyo malapit sa Metro Manila, 3-4 hours na byahe makakarating ka na dito.

Around 5pm, Anawangin Cove
