yahoo photos no more

Wednesday, June 27, 2007

i have recently upgraded my flickr acount, though i've already been a part of it some two years ago. another spur of the moment decision, kasi gusto ko lang. yun lang. but thankfully (as if to justify my decision), after 2 or 3 days of upgrading, i learned that yahoo photos is already shutting down this november. this is sad news. i have been loyal with yahoo photos, that my photostream has garnered more than 7,000 photos and dating 4 years back of captured memories!

the latest photo opportunity i had was with mommie greysi's angels, keona and kezra. this time, i neglected yahoo photos and uploaded all of the photos in flickr (yes, with a pro account, uploading is unlimited).

on my free time, i'm trying to upload some old photos in flickr. the latest set is the ballet recital. some photos below -

       sa mga tagahanga at tagasubaybay ng MARIA FLORDELUNA,
       alam nyo ba kung sino ang papatay kay Gary Alvarado?

       Hindi si Leo Alecante

       at di rin si Jo Espero Alecante,

       at lalong hindi si Flordeluna.

       Ang papatay kay Gary Alvarado ay si . . .

independence day muni muni

after 2 or 3 hours of tossing and turning, i got up and plugged my vaio. three whole days didn't suffice the needed rest, i guess. maybe it's the summer heat, i still can't stop complaining about it, that my room is one big oven day and night. my mind is much much wide awake, this should have been my state of being during my college days of sleepless nights doing case studies and thesis, or when i was still in shifting schedule at work. i am in a super-mega alert mode, i could spot the next cockroach running across underneath the kitchen table. where is sleepiness when you need it?

i get this feeling, the restlessness at bedtime, when i am excited over something. i couldn't sleep right away when things like this are about to happen the following day -- like when a friend is getting married, a vacation is coming up, a brand new thingie waiting till the next day, a 'chika' waiting to be divulged to one of my bff's... but right now, i don't have anything to be excited about and it's 3 in the morning.

J spotted me at ym and popped me, bakit daw gising pa ako. i told her hindi pa ako inaantok. then.. she popped the potential cause - which is... taddaaa.. the formidable quarter-life-crisis chuva

ym-1

i am 27 years old and 4 months to date. past the 'quarter life' technically, but im still in that age range, di ba? sabi ni j, mag-asawa na daw ako. one friend (my occasional chat mate in ym) told me that the 'sale value' of a woman is only upto 25. nakaka lurkee na ito. to quote mommy g, ira-raffle na daw nya ako, because she's getting impatient already. baka daw kasi hindi na umabot na flower girl ang mga girls nya, baka daw pang bridesmaids na sila when my time comes. all of them (my close high school friends) are married na kasi. with mommy g having two beautiful daughters, and another two are preggy na. and to add pressure, another just-married friend of ours is coming with her hubby this december. group date daw kami, paanong group date, e single (read: unattached) nga ako?

here's another pressure pressure moment. i was having lunch with mommy s (i have lots of mommies around, i actually call my married-with-kids friends 'mommy') and we were having a leisurely chit chat. i was telling her that i got so kilig about my seatmate at the bus that morning, kasi ang guwapo na ang bango bango pa. ang babaw, no? mommy s blurted out - don't you see yourself having family of your own? of course i do, i said. sino bang hindi? but how can i envision myself like that when i still dont have that 'someone'? mommy s said, why not pray for him. and i blurted out - i don't pray for material things. and she was quick to add - e hindi naman material thing ang boyfriend! oo nga naman. and she reminded me that im not getting any younger and it's time for me to take action. one of the action she required was to untie my attachment with this so called special-friend of mine. hindi daw ako makaka-move if i'd still keep on seeing him. defensive me reacted - hindi na naman 'kami'. we're just seeing each other just as plain old friends. but then, she was not convinced.

take action ba kamo? hhmm.. i told mommy s that i could send an email to all of my single AND unattched male friends, and market myself. but that would make me look cheap, dont you think?

ito nga ba ang crisis ko talaga? i dont know. not that i dont care, i just dont know lang. magulo ba?

anyway, my chat my j ended up like this --

Independence Day Celebration at MOA

Monday, June 11, 2007

June 10, Sunday

me, louraine and lola went to MOA (mall of asia) for the indepence day celebration. there were cultural shows - native songs, dances and exhibits performed simultaneously inside the big big mall. a mardi gras (having all the performers lined up and circled the mall) took place at 6pm, and fireworks as the finale at 7pm.

ang bagong kinalolokohan ni riccicutie, the newest version of photoshop. like na like nya ang feature na pwede nang i-edit ang kanyang raw files straight to photoshop (skipping the long and tedious task of converting raw to jpeg). the photo above was edited in acr. shyet. mukhang maghahalungkat si riccicutie ng mga stock photos for this one.

happy long weekend everyone!
