PP: Tuesday Motorcycle Diary >> A different road home (with some food photos ARMY NAVY burger and burritos)

I apologize for not being able to be as regular as I'd want to be with regard to updating the blog and with the Tuesday Motorcycle photo diary. Life happened. Work happened. Oh well.

I was, however, able to ride this Tuesday, May 18, 2010.

I accompanied my brother to get PNP clearance for his XRM. Didn't take photos there though. It was actually pretty hot, out. A pain to ride around specially mid day.
Afterwards I wound up going to the (Picture Company) Podium store, which I once called home, to do some stuff for work. Helped me cool off too. Then made my way to SM North Annex, where I now stay during office hours. While I spent part of the off day partially working, I was still able to treat myself to a good hearty meal at Army Navy, and a different route home.

On a friend's recommendation, and in search of a good burger, I tried eating at the Army Navy Burger and Burrito place in the Skygarden of SM North Edsa. Ordered myself a double burger, with additional cheese and bacon, plus an order of fries with cheese dip, and a large iced tea. All in all, a good meal to be sure.

very thinly cut fries, good in themselves (cheese dip for gratuitousness)

A double burger is 2 quarter pound patties, with lettuce, tomato, onions, pickles
the cheese and bacon were gratuitous. 

After all that (unnecessary) nutrition, the inevitable ride home had to be undertaken. I wanted to shake things up and try a route that I've not taken. I've never really even taken it via 4 wheels, I wanted to try it out on two. Passed through Mindanao avenue, and basically just followed the road and the flow of traffic.

For the day, the wanderlust in me was satiated. If only for awhile.

Hey Jace, there's Army Navy in Tagaytay. We really enjoyed the food when we were there... though we were SUPER HUNGRY at the time. Hehe.

Hey Erica!

Hmmmmmmmmmm. I haven't gone on a motorcycle ride in a loooooooong time. Weather hasn't been cooperative, and stuff has come up. (excuses, excuses, I know). But you just gave me an idea.

When I get back from KL, I think I might try riding to Tagaytay. Hehehe. :) thanks!

Stay tuned though. I'll be in KL for 21 days and I aim to be active photographically.

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...
