Only in the Philippines...

I know I haven't been posting much lately. It's been a busy life. :) I'm not complaining... well, ok, some part of me is. :P But it's been a fun sort of busy. I think, as a photographer, I'm getting a bit better. Though I've still got room to improve. If only there wasn't so much to do though.

Anyways, Just wanted to share these two pictures of two establishments that have recently opened in our city of Meycauayan.

I think these two store names are good candidates for forwarding, don't you? :) Only in the Philippines. Really.

On your way home, if your SO texts "WR Na U?", you could say "D2 na me sa D2NaMe" and buy them lugaw, or...

... you could buy them ukay-ukay clothes. Imagine, being here allows you to step forward in time... It hasn't been established yet!

Only time will tell if either of these establishments will make it into the history books as successful, but for the moment they'll spend some time in the limelight for such an inventive name. Pinoy talaga.

Nice. Go Meycauayan! and your... repetitive store names. Established 2010... Di pa kasi "Established" kuno. Hahaha.

Discussing the Term: Maniniyot

I was recently introduced to this term by a co-worker who said she'd been called one by her friend when said friend learned that she is now a photographer at The Picture Company . Supposedly " maniniyot " is the tagalog / filipino word for "photographer". Ok, first off, as far as the word goes, I'm not even sure if it's a real word. I can't begin to fathom what tagalog root-word could've birthed such a word (obvious from this reaction perhaps my revulsion to the term) if it is at all, in fact, tagalog. But language being such that it is, evolving I mean, I'm sure it was only a matter of time before we would invent such a word. Spurred on by curiosity and annoyance, googling (also an invented word now that one thinks about it) the term pointed me to several websites and blogs having to do with photography, and to a youtube video entitled "Mr. Kodaker (Ang Maniniyot) - Max Surban - Karaoke". All said links, none of which providing d...

Review: A7 Sports Action Cam via Lazada.com.ph

4 Days later Not sure how I should begin the little review... no, I'm sorry. I know how: You get what you pay for. Ok. Granted I paid just Php 1,199. For that amount, I was promised the following: 1) A portable yellow Action camera with 2) 5MP still photo capability, and 3) HD video recording 4) A waterproof case with different mounts Given that there were at other similar cameras on offer for at least 3x the price (the SJ4000 for example costs roughly Php 4,400 ), I thought I'd take the risk and buy this cheap little thing fairly conscious of potential trade offs. I conditioned myself to expect the worst. In that regard, I guess I wasn't disappointed, though not fully so. The Good:  The A7 looks a lot like the GoPro and some other Chinese made action cams (like the SJ4000 as previously mentioned). Unlike the GoPro, it comes with a built in LCD with which you can see what you record. The water proof casing it comes with is indeed waterproof, though I have y...

Travel Photography: Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort

Image
I 've previously shared with you several instances of my travels around the Philippines. This is the latest in the series, I guess. Hahaha. I t's summer time, and what better place to go than the beach? Because of insistent public demand (well, more like glowing reviews from beach goers from certain forums) , we decided to go to Subic Sweet Water Beach Resort. And I gotta say, this particular place is probably one of the best beaches I've been to lately, if not one of the best beaches I've been to period . D on't let the name fool you though. It might be called a resort, but it's really not (well, technically it really is but...) . I'd say, it's more of a haven actually. I home away from home, away from all the hustle and bustle and stress that the over-commercialized Subic Bay freeport area represents. It's fine and nearly white sand, it's breath-taking vistas, cool and surprisingly not so salty water (my personal estimation compared to some bea...
