Dinagyang Part 2

I posted my Dinagyang pics on four of my social networking sites. Each site contains different pics so everyone can have a taste of the different tribes. I will post the links to the other sites as soon as I can upload all of them. All pics were taken with my six years old (?) Canon point and shoot.

Back to the daily grind :)

All shots taken with my trusty old Canon A400 Point and Shoot.

Petunia

I had to post something. Been silent for far too long.

Still reeling from the Joongbo fever. It has become an epidemic at home. I'm trying to ride through the hangover.

And been working a lot too. Will need to post those jobs soon.

In the meantime, click on the photo. I butchered a pig. :) I don't know how long I had Petunia (name inspired by Harry Potter's harassed aunt) but she ate too much coins and I couldn't get them out. My banker friend says it's illegal to hoard coins. I wonder is piggy banks would fall in that category.

I'm seriously thinking of buying a laptop with my coins. Seriously. It's that or a treadmill. But I'm leaning on the laptop. It's actually an unhealthy choice. But I want to bring my work with me now. Although that may not be a good idea if I keep this up. Will die early.

And I need to buy a new pig too. They don't make pigs like Petunia anymore. The ones they are selling all look like swines to me. LOL.

Calmay, Janiuay

My priest-brother has been assigned to Calmay, Janiuay, Iloilo. We went there to see his new church yesterday. Funny thing is I didn't take that much pics of the church. Instead I took pics of people, the scenery, parts of the building etc.

I wouldn't mind staying there for a bit. Just to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. Love the green. Love the fresh air. Love the natural air-conditioner. And the quiet. Shhhhhhh!!!!

But I think I can only last for two days. I cannot survive without my dsl. And I certainly can't survive without my computer.

Pamalandong

I have been silent online. That’s because I have been very noisy offline.

Just finished a seven-day exhibit at SM City with my Photo Class sponsored by Camera Haus. I unexpectedly won third place over-all and bagged 1st place in the Festival Category. I used shots from my point and shoot Canon Powershot A400 – probably an obsolete camera. I was competing with very expensive DSLRs, which to win was quite magnanimous. Anyway, I got a 3,000 gift certificate from Sony for the third prize and a 500 pesos Sony gift certificate for the Category prize. It would have been useful if I can afford a DSLR but I still can’t. So I might just settle for a tripod and some batteries. Here are my shots:





And with that, I have started helping out for yet another exhibit of Iloilo heritage and illustrious leaders. That kept me busy even till late morning. I haven’t returned to my normal sleeping hours yet.

I’ve also been assigned to help out on games for family day. I was exhausted last Monday. And asthma on the brink of exploding.

And to add to that, it’s the campaign period. And I get jobs left and right for campaign posters, stickers etc. etc. I should be happy that I’m getting added income, right? But it sucks. I get soooooooo tired that sometimes wonder if it’s all worth it. And I’m being paid below my business price. And I hate myself for settling. I should learn to say no. No no no no. Why is that so hard to say?

So I should just put up my feet and rest since it’s Holy Week. But I can’t. I have last minute jobs which will probably take me three days to finish and conceptualize. I dug my grave. All I have to do is lie in it.

So I’m blogging while I can.

By the way, I’m watching a new TV series that I highly recommend to single 30ish women living everywhere. It’s called Number One Single starring Lisa Loeb in ETC. It’s like missing SITC and I really like Lisa Loeb. Wonderful eclectic girl.

I bought an all in one card reader by the way. One more dream come true in my wishlist.
