I Remember by Joaquin Alejandro F. Ambata

"I remember" by Joaquin Alejandro F. Ambata. I admire this guy for his drive and passion niya to make wonderful videos like this one. Sa pagkakaalam ko ito yung una niyang ginawang video when he got his new "baby". Haha! Ito yung ginawa niyang video as part of his course portfolio in Seminars in Sociology nung 4th year kami, to be exact, hmmm.. 8 months ago. Nung napanuod ko 'to for the first time, from the beginning 'til the end I was just smiling. :) Nakakatuwa and nakaka-inspire. Yes, I don't know the technicalities when it comes to videography but I think naiparating naman niya yung message na gusto niyang iparating sa audience. Good job Wacky! :)

***Ito marahil yung epekto kapag walang ginagawa at nagbbrowse lang ng video na mapapanuod. But there's one thing that I'm sure of, namimiss ko na lahat nang nakasama ko during my college life and my memories with them. :)

Angry Birds Attack!

This is not mine, sa pamangkin ko 'to. Haha! Ang cute! May angry birds na laro, "literal" na laruan. :) Ang masasabi ko lang is mas mahirap pa din laruin yung virtual version nito, grabeng PATIENCE! Angry Birds Attack! ;D

Alfred Ken Nathaniel, I love you! :)

If I'm your classmate, I will definitely have a crush on you! Haha! 'Coz your cute and matalino kahit na masungit ka sa girls.. :)

The kid on the picture is my pamangkin, son of my Kuya Alvin. He turned 4 last September 16, there's a party in his school kasi nakaugalian na ganun sa kanila and after that nag-Ocean Park sila nina Mommy Mena and Daddy Alvin niya . :) Yey! ^^,

HAPPY BIRTHDAY NAT-NAT! Tita Kai loves you kahit na lagi mo kong inaaway :)

Agony in Silence

SILENCE? What does it mean? Silence has a lot of meaning. To some people, silence could mean tranquility, serenity, and peace. But to others, silence could mean pain, agony or distress. 

When I can't express myself when I'm disappointed or angry (most of the time about family matters), I choose to be silent. The feeling of "silence in pain" is kakaiba -- you are screaming inside, you can hear your thoughts passing fluidly and you can feel and hear the sound of your heart beating. In between that silence, you'll have your realizations about things that you are going through. You'll question your self, "Was it really my fault? Kasalanan ko ba talaga? Why am I always the one at fault? Am I really worthless? Lagi na lang bang ganito?". But in some cases, silence can make what you are feeling worse. Dyan na kasi pumapasok yung pagtatanim ng grudge to that person whom you have unsettled issue/s kahit na you're saying to your self not to take grudge on anyone PERO 'di kasi maiiwasan (in my own point of view). Yung mga unsettled issues na dati pa is bumabalik and dumadagdag sa present issue/s. Some people might ask, "Why don't you confront that person?" I tried to confront her (EXAMPLE: my mom) pero failed. I was calm naman when I did that. Of course, every mom thinks that when her son/daughter is sumagot even in a calm way it's unrespectful na. It was never my intention to win kapag nagkakaroon kami ng "sagutan", all I wanted is "to be heard." I'm not over-reacting but my mom is like, "I'm always right" and close-minded. She's that kind of person. Kung ano yung pinaniniwalaan niyang tama, yun lang. I'm the youngest and the ONLY girl na anak niya, pero bakit sa'kin 'di man lang magawang makinig? And how can I be heard if madalas na kauuwian is away and nagagalit agad kakasimula ko lang magsalita when it was my turn? Sometimes kahit na want ko na talagang magsalita pinipigilan ko na lang self ko 'coz I know wala ding kakauwiang maganda and then I'll end up crying in my room and my thoughts starts screaming inside my head. I'll just cry hanggang sa makakatulog na pala ako. It's sad to think na makakatulog ka dahil napagod ka na kakaiyak.

I have read a quote ang sabi, "Silence is the most powerful scream", well I do believe in this quote kasi madalas akong ganyan lalo na when I'm restricted to express what I really feel. I just go inside my room and in silence, all of my thoughts are screaming inside my head na. I can also relate to this quote by Elbert Hubbard,  "He who does not understand your silence will probably not understand your words." <-- This quote explains it all.

***Mahirap na manatili na lang na tahimik sa tuwing may problemang kinakaharap at mahirap din na kumausap ng isang indibidwal na hindi magawang matutunang makinig.

Can't get rid of IT...

Hay,, :( I am so down this week. So many issues and I can't get rid of it. I know that problems will make me stronger as a person pero nakakabaliw minsan. I tried to ignore it many times pero I'm still affected. Siguro ganun talaga because I am part of this family and I'm "IN" it. Yeah, there were times naman that I got tired of thinking those things and I'm wishing na ganun na lang palagi or manhid na lang ako.

If I will ask myself if mature na ba ako, masasabi ko hindi pa TOTALLY  (but I'm really trying) 'coz there are things in my life that I can't face or fully accept.

Being a crybaby? Yup, ganyan ako. Madali talaga akong maiyak. Sometimes, kahit sa sobrang inis ko lang naiiyak na ako.

Can't wait for my future babies! :)

I'm not a professional photographer or a self-confessed photographer, I just love looking at pictures or taking pictures and I have this great affection for cameras - either it's digital or film. :) It all started when I was in college. Pahawak-hawak lang ng DSLR of my friends then click lang ng click. Of course, as we all know, kapag DSLR gamit iba yung kalalabasan ng picture, HQ (high quality) unlike to ordinary digi cams. All I can say is iba kasi yung feeling kapag nakakakuha ka ng magandang picture parang achievement na siya for me. Haha!, Yup! thanks sa DSLR for its amazing specs etc. etc. pero siyempre nasa kumukuha pa din nakasalalay yung ikagaganda nung larawan. Because of that experience, there's a part of me na, "Gusto ko maging photographer" -- photography as a hobby, photography as a passion. Kaya once na nagkawork na ako, i'll be thrifty. Haha! Kapag nangyari na yun, I will buy worth-paying cameras (digital or film) and I will treat them as my babies. Haha! Mga target kong bibilhin ay: (instant cams muna, may kamahalan kasi ang DSLR kaya next time na yun. Haha!)

• Polaroid 300 Instant camera
• White Fuji Instax Mini 7s
• Fuji Instax 210
• White Fuji Instax Mini 25s
• Piano Black Fuji Instax Mini 50s

Isa din sa mga binabalik ko in the future is to join any circle, team or guild of photographers na nagpophotowalk. :) 'Coz I think it will be a wonderful experience for me kasi makakakilala ako ng mga bihasa na sa ganung larangan, mga photography enthusiast and for sure I will learn a lot from them. That experience will be a dream come true. :) I can't wait for it to happen. Haha! Futuristic kasi talaga ako..

If you're interested to buy any Fuji Instax cam, just go to these sites, Polaroid PH | Instax Manila Philippines
and Instax Manila.

Go! and be instant... :)

Like Mother, like Daughter??, Nah! I Don't Think So

P.S. This post is not to talk "bad" things about my mom, I just want to release all the things inside me that I can't share to others or even to my mom 'coz for sure she'll not understand. First entry pa lang 'to about this topic.
