Color UP (v.02) : Small but Huge



I am pretty much sure that everyone of us have our own New Year's Resolution. I think all of these would be very special for us because mostly, these are the things that we wanted to change on ourselves, on the way we did poorly on some things during 2009.


It is very special for us that we must be able to complete the challenge that we made through New Year's Resolution by the end of the year. I would say that it would be a very big achievement for us.


I am pretty much sure that a lot of people would think that these would probably fall into others as a small category but we definitely know ourselves that these resolutions are pretty huge that it can make a very big improvements on our lives.


Well, related to New year's resolution and small but huge things, my picture depicts on how small a detail can be but still, it manages to stand out among the rest. That's how I think our lives must be this 2010. We may not be popular like celebrities and those who are in position in the government but I think it is now the time that we must be able to make ourselves unique and stand out from the rest. A huge change that everyone of us would definitely love seeing.


Enjoy!! =))

LP 86: Pasasalamat




Happy New Year sa lahat sa Litratong Pinoy!! Haha.. First time ko po ito mag-post sa LP and masaya po ako na makasama sa weekly assignments.

Pasasalamat ay isang mahalagang bagay na dapat nating maibalik sa lahat mga mabubuting bagay na ating natanggap sa kabuuan ng taong ito. =))

Isa sa dapat nating lahat na pasalamatan ay ang ating Panginoon na binigay ang lahat lahat para sa ating ikabubuti lalo na para sa ating kinabukasan. Dapat maging masaya tayo sa lahat ng ating mga natatanggap na biyaya.

Kagaya sa aking larawan, dapat nating ipagpasalamat ang kalikasang ibingay sa atin ng diyos. Kahit sa simpleng lugar kagaya ng bukid, nakapagbibigay ito ng kasiyahan dahil sa kasimplehan. Kasimplehan o kapayapaan ang isang bagay na talagang hinahanap hanap ng karamihan sa atin.

Enjoy!! =))

Pagsaluhan sa Bagong Taon!! =))



Sorry viewers but I would like my last 2 entries for this year in full Filipino dialect, hehe.. Because I really wanted to express everything this new year. =))


So heto na mga kababayan ko, haha.. Alam naman nating lahat na natural na sa ating mga Pilipino na magsalu-salo tuwing may okasyon. Marahil ito ay nagpapahiwatig na pinapahalagahan natin ang araw na iyon. Pero sa tingin ko, bukod sa kaarawan na idinaraos kada taon, may 2 ring pagsasaluhan ang pinakamahalga. Posible na iyon ay ang Noche Buena at Media Noche( tama ba ang ispelling?) ..haha.. Sa tingin ko ang mga pagsalu-salo sa mga araw na iyan ay napakahalaga dahil sa may pinagdidiwang tayong mahahalagang bagay, ang pagsilang kay Kristo at pagsalubong sa Bagong Taon.


Masaya ang salu-salo sa kulturang Pilipino. Nagdadala ito ng sobrang kasiyahan sa lahat.


Ilang oras na lang, Bagong Taon na at Welcome 2010. Haha. So la naman ganu, etong larawan ay pinapakita ang pagkain ng salad na posbleng nasa hapag-kainan niyo rin sa mga panahong ito. Enjoyin =))

Color UP!! =))(v.01)



What is Color? Life without color is pure plain, black and I white I must say in which it looks pretty dull to our eyes. Color is what makes everything and without it, can you imagine what our vision of the world would be??


Haha.. Well, it is important that we must find the right colors that could spice up our life. Not literal colors (blue, green, red, etc.) but colors that others would give to us. Colors can be a metaphor for emotions that can either be bad or good.


Just like what I have listed, colors must pop out in its own unique way. IN the image below, it shows how the color from the life jacket pops out from the picture. I am trying to tell here, based on the story of the image, that life jacket is so useful in this image that it must not be left out on a pool if you don't know how to swim.haha.. Well, Life must be fun with it. Something with color gives us joy, hope and love.


I believe that this strikes each and everyone of us that we must not only have others to bring color to us but it is more important that we give more color to the lives of others that we truly care about. Enjoy!! =))

Ang Juan sa Misa!! =))



A man from a mass or just what I expressed in Filipino terms " Ang Juan sa Misa". Juan is a term that Philippines refer to us, Filipinos or the mass. Well, it is pretty obvious that Filipinos are pretty religious and I am one of those and proud of it!! =))


In the 4th Commandment of God, "Remember to keep Holy the Sabbath's Day", it tells us that we must be always present during the Sabbath's day or Sunday in which we celebrate our Holy Mass. I stay true to this vow since last June only because I really wanted to be a good person for others as well. I think it is important for me to always observe my Sundays by going to mass together with my family.


Just like what I felt about going to church on my earlier posts on this blog, it kinda helped me relax all or everything. It is such a comfort to be and communicate with God and to see a lot of people form as a family on this one day of the week.


I think it is not that hard of a task to do, it would not ruin your "busy" day by going to church, PROMISE!! =)) ..


Just like here on my post, the picture shows a man went to church to attend the "SIMBANG GABI" or Misa De Gallo in which is very known for us. One of the priest said during one of the 9 masses that we attend to, "Magpasalamat kayo dahil tayo, nakakapag-celebrate ng pasko na mas maaga sa mga ibang nayon" =)).. I am glad about this fact because that is what Christmas is all about, celebrating the birth of Christ!! =))


So there's one more mass that is important before January 1, 2010,the New Year's eve Mass. Haha.. Enjoy!!=))

Pa-pa-ra-pa-pa: Love Ko 'To (McDo)



Fast food chains are pretty much what you eat these days. They serve you foods fast and are tasty. So why bother going to a restaurant? I know, I know.. You think that they give a lot of carbs(for those who are weight conscious). But I think that it is better to have happiness than regret of tasting something like a fries and a lot more. =))


McDonalds is one of those fast food chains that is known worldwide for its famous menu,e specially the burgers and fries.


Here in the Philippines, there are a lot of competitors that McDonalds could compete with, one of those is Jolibee that is very famous especially to kids. But in terms of taste, I would still prefer McDonalds especially their fries. Oh, how I love their fries. Haha..


So McDonalds is for everyone. Nothing more to say! haha.. Enjoy =))

A Holiday Fireworks Story!! =))



Resumption of Classes are nearing for us students in which I am really not that excited about because there would be a lot of works again. But still, I could not get this holiday season out of my system. This Christmas season was the most memorable one for me because it was my first time to go to a Simbang Gabi or Misa de Gallo in which I already missing it. =((


A lot of things happened this Christmas Holiday and I am pretty much sure that there would be a lot more this coming New Year's Day. And with New Year's Day on its name, it means fireworks. Well, for us Filipinos, fireworks do mean a lot during new year's day.


Fireworks according to the sayings that they take bad spirits away and that it brings good fortune. Even though fireworks are banned in certain provinces, I am pretty sure that fireworks would still be present everywhere you look.


I am pretty sure that when you are looking at a fireworks display, there would be a smile on your face. I am sure that brings out the kid in you.


Once again, I am pretty aware that you know what happens in MOA every weekends, fireworks. So here are just some of the pictures that I took during a fireworks display. Enjoy!! =))

The Vs and the B!! =))



Just like my previous post, this blog entry is all about artists again. Hmm.. Probably I would call this day as "ARTISTA" day because my posts are all about them. And this one is about two artists seen on television everyday and a rock star who is known by a lot, I mean a lot. Haha..


"Artistas" are pretty much made a huge influence on how the people would live their lives. They are everywhere, from the radio, newspaper, television and on the streets through posters and billboards. I am pretty much sure that you are one of those people who support them.


The artists are doing a lot of things, more than what we think that they are doing. I did not experience anything on becoming an artist but I really think that one must be dedicated to his work in order to have a long-run success in the show business industry. Just like the bands, they also did things that were likeable.


Artists also tour around malls to host or to perform on a certain event or just give back to their fans who have been supporting them all through out.


So do you ever wonder who were the Vs and the B. Well, of course, they were Vhong Navarro, the host of ABS_CBN's top rater Showtime, Valerie Concepcion, the host of the famous Wowowee and Barbi Almalbis, a famous rock star chic.

So the set of pictures here were also taken during the Hale Mall tour event..hehe..enjoy.. =))

It's a HALE Storm!! =))



Bands here in the Philippines are widely known. Bands are very important in the music industry. Independent bands are highly appreciated by a lot of people but the known local bands are quite famous indeed. I can name a lot of bands in the Philippines like, Urbandub, Up Dharma Down, 6Cycle Mind, Cueshe', Slapshock, Sandwhich, Pupil, Rivermaya, Delara, Akosikat, Bamboo, Parokya ni Edgar and many more. A lot of bands were formed during the past decade because before, there were only a few of them.


Whew, I am glad that i have heard a lot of bands because not only they continuously made songs that are pleasing to the ears but also they have a very good meaning. Most of the topics that they wrote are about feelings on love and attitude towards nationalism. I am glad that they explored a lot of themes for their sound. I am pretty sure that they are attempting to create new stuff because they know that there are already expanding number of listeners nowadays.


One of the band that I like is Hale. Hale is first known for their first hit single "Broken Sonnet" that lead to their stardom here in the Philippines. Most of my high-school friends mocked them for the way Champ sings their songs in which it is like "Pilit" or wherein sings through his nostrils. But I guess, that is his style and that made him good and unique above the rest.


But in College, it was a different story. My classmates love him especially Clara who is a certified Hale Addict that he always go to their mall tours that their lead vocal and the rest of the band already know her. But she did not managed to go here and watch Hale..haha..


SO here are the pics of Hale from their recent mall tour!! Enjoy =))

The UP Singing Ambassadors!! =))



I want all of you to know a little background about me. During High-school, I have been known to everyone that I am their Photographer/Paparazzi which was a joke at first because I only wanted to take pictures of my classmates for me to document memories which is so important. And believe it or not, I am part of the Letran Chorale Guild, which leads me to this post.


This post is all about the UP Singing Ambassadors and I am really proud to be a Filipino for they won competitions outside the Philippines. I sure heard them from mp3s and others but thank God, I was at the Mall of Asia when they performed. I am really glad that I am pretty lucky to hear them singing tunes for this holiday season. They were good , actually pretty good.


As part of the chorale during high-school, based on what i have heard, they surely would go a longer way. I am confident that they would achieve more and more awards. haha


The UP Singing Ambassadors already proved their worth as a choir. They were actually pretty fun to watch especially their conductor, Sir Edgardo Manguiat, in which he made the audience participate in singing(see the last photo) and that is one important thing.


Pls enjoy these photos as much as I enjoyed hearing the UP Singing Ambassadors. =))

The Christmas Globe!! =))


I am pretty sure that each and everyone of you are familiar with Christmas Snow Globes wherein you would lift it upside down then snows start to fall on the subject in it, mostly houses, that it actually mimics a snow event. It all made us happy seeing these things even though it is just pretty small compared to what you can see in real life.


Just like my past posts, this blog entry would show you how Mall of Asia( MOA ) devised or innovated their huge Globe outside wherein everyone can view it, not only those who passes MOA but it can also be seen from a far. So in order for us to appreciate their huge stainless steel Globe, they did something incredible with this this time around.


Innovations are pretty important especially when you are in a huge market and you need to attract new customers. That's probably what Henry Sy thought of doing with his dream-come true, which is MOA. Even though MOA is famously known, he still wanted to bring joy to everyone. He fixed the exterior especially my subject for this post which is the Globe; he put up a lights show. The globe changes its images every minute or probably 30 seconds or so. The image rotates first through the use of the lights then changes. It's pretty cool on how they managed to create this kind of huge Christmas Globe.


So here's the pictures, though these shots were just taken from a single spot for I cannot cross the street.hehe..enjoy.. =))
