I started to run when classes were about to end last month... so summer was approaching by that time (duh... mark... really?)... I just wanted to try out something to keep my cardio up (since I'm not actively playing the drums anymore) and it just seems kind of fun... I really don't care what gear I wear since I really don't have any idea what's the difference between a running shoe and a slipper... so there I went on running with my espadrille shoes and sometime some dirty looking shoes.. whatever was in sight.. I'd wear that.. my cousin advised me to get some real running kicks if I were to run seriously... but I didn't heed the advice since I wasn't planning to go pro and I really didn't have the moolah to buy one.. but then one night we were strolling around a strip mall and we happened to go inside a sporting goods store to looks for some running stuff for my cousin... and then suddenly.. poof!! he bought me these pair of runners... amazing!! I didn't expect this at all... FREE RUNNING SHOES!!! EPIC!!! and to this day on... I keep running regularly... for fun, for health (though I still eat a 2 piece KFC chicken meal), but usually for the fun bond that me and my cousins now have... ;)

Another shot of the helis that landed on an open field.. Right after I took the shot of the HDR before..

After our group was done checking out the military hardware another group of people stopped by to check them out... but this time they got turned down... I then hurriedly scurry away to avoid the people from getting mad at us as to why we were allowed to take pics and pose near the choppers while the other group wasn't... see those people near the chopper to the right?... yeah.. that's the group that got turned down.. :\

Did I get the saying right?..

Anyway I got this photo the day after we played for world youth day... I got the chance to stroll around the local area and saw this kid fishing for... well... fish... Do they even catch something that's big enough to eat that close to shore?...

Anyways.. I kinda reflected upon this photo and it made me realize that though we are both the same.. .still kids (yeah I'm 19 so I'm still quite a kid)... we have different lives... at his age I went to play computers, playstation, watched tv... and all those stuff.. while he stays there fishing.. who knows what else he does... maybe go home.. play computer, playstation and watch tv.. ;)

mumbling random stuffs...

on a technical note.. I wonder why I'm not satisfied with my B&W reproductions... any suggestions?

If you guys don’t know.. I’m a member of a christian band (lead guitars… yes christian music needs heavy metal riffs too…) and one of the fun stuff of being in a band is we get to travel a lot… or at least that’s a big deal for me considering I’m a college student..

Anyways.. the connection here is that.. while going back home after playing for the Local-World youth day… we happen to pass by an open field beside the road and lo and behold… we saw these heavy metal birds of war.. it was sooooo epic that it was so not possible to just let it pass… we told the van driver to stop and we ran across to see it up close… after we asked permission from the military dudes and pilots of course…

And also… another first in my photo learning journey… this is my very first HDR in black and white… and I’m pretty satisfied with it.. yey :D

It's been months since my last post here on flickr....
hmmmm.. maybethe fact that I don't have a pro account makes me feel that I'm not worthy to post pictures here anymore... :\

But hey.... I'll try to post some starting now...

so here's my latest pic... and also my new profile pic in my face book account...
I really love guns and actions stuffs... and I just wanted to make this photo for months now.. and I've finally done it.. yey!! I got off my ass and start shooting this right away...

Lately I've been too lazy to take pictures.... and I'm planning to change that since summer is a long long road... and I know I'll be bored... :)
