Experiences from the South

New Theme: Southern Green

by Tanchi | 2:04 AM in Blogging | comments (6)

Actually, it is still the same layout, but due to boredom, I decided to tweak new designs from the theme's original graphics. It almost took me 3 hours to get into action. The bad thing is, I wasn;t able to "printscreen" the previous layout. Just to compare the outputs. Fortunately, I've ended it just on time, I'm wasted already and I want to rush into the bed, but I want to blog about this to all who have been actively visiting my blog. So, what do you think? Comment now.

...and by the way, I think it would be my last post for the week, I'll be out for weekend, I'm gonna stroll around Davao City. I've been there many times, and still I wasn't familiar about the places.

Do Things Have Dreams Too?

by Tanchi | 6:30 AM in Monochrome, Photography | comments (7)

When things have dreams I'd be the first to let you know. Everyone can explain why things have dreams too. Humans think impossible things which in fact possible. Everyone has dreams, everything, not considering scientific basis, but on a broader insight. The evidence are photographs.

If you're still unsure about the fact that things have dreams too, refer to the photos. There's something common about the three photos. This is my own point of view.

Litratong Pinoy 4: Madumi

by Tanchi | 6:24 PM in Photography, Pinoy Articles | comments (27)

Kakabalik ko lang mula sa unibersidad at naudlot na naman ang plano kong manuod ng telebisyon dahil nga hindi pa ako nakapaglagay ng lahok ngayong linggo.

Madumi ang naibigay na tema ngayong linggo at balak ko sanang pumunta sa mga kalye at kumuha ng "community shot" ngunit napakalakas ng ulan. Bumabagyo.

Ang unang litrato ay isang "mop", pasensya na at hindi ko alam ang salitang tagalog nito. Alam naman natin na ginagamit ito pantanggal nang anumang dumi sa sahig. Sa konseptong ito, naiisip mo bang mahalaga pala ang mga bagay na hindi natin namamalayang may halaga. Kahit gaano pa man ito kadumi. Tulad na lang ng "mop".

Isa pang lahok ngayon linggo ang litratong kuha sa katabing silid kung saan kami nagkakaroon ng klase. Sa,litratong ito, hindi mo mapapansin ang dumi ng silid. Hindi gaanong halata. Ngunit pag nasa loob ka mismo ng silid, mapapansin mo ang makalumang dumi na bumabalot dito. Mga alikabok na masakit sa ilong. Ang tipan ng mga silya ay tila nagpapahiwatig na matagal nang inabandona ang silid.

Ang panghuling lahok ay ang "storage room" ng aming "dirty kitchen", talagang napakadumi. Ngunit ang duming nakapaligid dito ay pawang natural, nalulumaan kasabay ang pag-edad. Mga lumot na nakadikit sa sulok-sulok.

Madumi o malinis man ang paligid, bigyan natin ito ng puna. Gumawa ng hakbang na nararapat. Sa lahat ng kalahok, maligayan LP sa inyo!

This is only a quick-post, I have to do many things, this include studying, and reviewing for a quiz the next day. Plurk, too.

I've already finished one personal signature for this blog. There are tons of load to work for. This time I only got the chance to produce one output. Using various photoshop effects and combination of those complicated crap.

Here's the output:

Advertising Photographs

by Tanchi | 8:06 PM in Photo Ads | comments (1)

TV ads caught my attention when I started photoshop, and I realize that making advertisements is really my passion, of course with the use of photography, and with the medium of photo-editing, Adobe PS .

I want to take photos with deep and abstract concepts, one who would think critically to get the photo's true concept. Here are some shots I considered as advertising.

So, what do you think? I need to learn more. There are many things to consider.

Saturday Night

by Tanchi | 8:50 PM in My Banana Experience | comments (4)

Too much for the problems involving my friendster account, it turned out to be a crapped, even all users do. The number of friends was reset. I can't do anything about it but frown. Due boredom, I decided to plan for a meet-up with my high-school friends.

I was in a hurry and a bit excited to meet them up again after that long 2nd semester streak. When I arrived in the mall, KCC, where else could go if you want cool air(i'm referring to the airconditioned environment of the mall)? It was payday, and it is obvious that there are so many people strolling around the mall. I walk faster so that I could take around the vast number of people while making up the faces I see in the mall's high lights. The decors are very suitable for the season. Every corner has lantern (not really lantern, I just don't know how to name it, see for the photo) hanging in white bright lights. It's really Christmas, and I can't wait for this season.

Later, I met them at Dunkin Donut, and fortunately, Mitsubishi is just around the corner, so I decided to let my photographs developed. Moving onwards, We decided to watch a movie, a type I didn't prefer, but I'd love to try watching "MY ONLY U", remember? Toni Gonzaga and Vhong Navarro? I'm not really used to watched such films instead, I watched suspense and horror films.

T'was already 7:00 when the movie ended. Moving out from the cinema house, I still notice the huge number of people. The strolling ended up in eating. At first, we visited Hermanas, a cheap but good foods along the mal. The foods served are typical so we went for a little walk. Instead of settling in Hermanas, I thought of a better place to stay and eat in. Chicken Hauz, one of the oldest restos in the city. Serving their specialty,Garlic Chicken, would be great for all season, especially when served hot and freshed. There are so many options for the food, we couldn't choose any because of the other delicious foods. So my friend, Ferdinand, break the argument and settled the decision in choosing Garlic Chicken. Minutes later, the waiter served it in a hot dish. The session started.

The proof of a good eating is burping, so everyone burped after a sip on the softdrink. Later on, around 8:00 we decided to part ways, we went home with new experiences.

It was a happy night, the old deeds we used to hang-out with, and all the laugh-out-loud's we used to do. It was really nice having friends. Good friends.
