Waffle Wednesday
beamarquez:
Nom nom chocolate marble!
Us girls gathered again from all corners of Manila for a sleepover that last holiday, November 30. At midnight, I ordered my usual Mcdonald’s delivery to console myself for being too late to make a last order at BonChon that night. (I even ran. #tears) The next day, the girls also made me feel better by eating at Pancake House to satisfy my other constant...

Birds & Reptiles
… and cute little bunnies.
Just some pictures from Avilon Zoo. The reptiles were taken last Friday, for my Photojournalism class. It was my first time to go to a zoo by myself. It was a good experience.
The pictures of the birds and bunnies were taken last December, during Christmas vacation.
Here we go, let’s start with the birds.
I just love owls. Their eyes are so enticing!...
Sojourn: Black Nazarene (preparations)
I made a post about this a week ago but for some reason it was published even if it was still a draft. I was supposed to just edit it then post it, but I got frustrated with it because I didn’t feel inspired. So I just deleted. But now, I feel like I should just post it.
So my Photojourn classmates and I went to Quiapo two Sundays ago to cover the Black Nazarene. For those who don’t...

First shoot for the year!
Special thanks to Honey Dizon, who is my lovely model for this shoot. The super cute girl I knew from my preschool days is now a very gorgeous lady! <3 I can’t wait to do covers with you this summer! (I’m working behind-the-scenes, of course XD)
Here is a favorite of mine:
Lovely shots by my friend, April.
This girl’s got that...

Sojourn: Lantern Parade 2011
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
This was my second Lantern Parade in UP Diliman, and by golly I enjoyed it even more this year.
Read more about it here in the article of Tinig ng Plaridel where some of my shots were used.
As I was looking for a parking spot, I saw Marko walking along the road. So I picked him up and we decided to walk around the academic oval together.

Oblation Run 2011
I decided not to file this under my Sojourn series because I didn’t really consider this shooting as a “stop over” that was vacation-like in any way.
The Oblation Run is an annual event in the University of the Philippines. Read more about it here. You’ll see some of my shots in that link too.
Covering this year was much more exhausting than last year. I didn’t really move around too much last...

Thanks Paulo!
Just checked your tumblr. Congratulations! WILD! I’m so happy for you :)
Sojourn: Tondo, Manila
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
This was one of those experiences that you could look back to and say that it changed your life.
I went to Tondo last monday with my dad to take photos of informal settlers (J123: photojournalism assignment). My friend, Duane, and I were supposed to commute to Tondo and just find our way around the place. Good thing my dad offered to go with...

Self Portraiture
Another Photojourn assignment.
I decided to add a little meaning to my self portrait by spoofing the Philippines’ former President Gloria Macapagal-Arroyo’s mugshot.
Test shot inside the room (below). You can even see my lamp and a bit of my UP Letterman jacket.
Then I went outside and looked for a good place to shoot around the villageI looked pretty stupid and there were so...

Sojourn: Smoky Mountains
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
As some of you may know, this semester I’m taking a photojournalism class. We will be required to submit 5 photos for each assigned topic every week. This week we were assigned to shoot in a dumpsite. I was totally shaken when I found out. And imagine, this was just the first assignment. I was overwhelmed and I didn’t know how I...

Sojourn: Skechers 7 (2/2)
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
November 12, 2011
See part 1 here.
I was walking around the patron area when the show began to start. I found myself in the right most side of the stage.
I realized that this area was actually where the high school teams would be seated. This was perfect as I needed to take pictures of Nica Fab of Sayawatha. I came to support her. I...

Sojourn: Skechers 7 (1/2)

November 12, 2011
Skechers in the SMART Araneta Coliseum was simply amazing (pun intended)! I’m so proud of Nica Fab! She was so good. Too bad Sayawatha didn’t get in the top three. They totally deserved to be though :(
Tried practicing the little I learned from my first Photojournalism class I had that same day by taking pictures of people’s...

Sojourn: 11.11.11
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
It was decided that November 11, 2011 would be a special day. Everyone everywhere made plans (almost everyone at least).
I and my friends were no different. The only thing was, nothing went according to plan. I experienced so many heartbreaks in one day. Here’s what happened.
Heartbreak #1: We heard of the lantern lighting thing in the...

Sojourn: Fishing in Highlands
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
Tagaytay, October 31, 2011
We couldn’t get enough of the animals, so after visiting the Animal Farm we went fishing!
Dad, Annika and Josh get their fishing rods ready by placing some bait on the hooks.
Philip eagerly watches as dad throws the hook into the water.
While the ladies (me, mom, Tita Jhoey) waited, we ordered some...

Sojourn: Animal Farm
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
Tagaytay, October 31, 2011
We went straight to Tagaytay Highlands’ Animal Farm after having lunch in Marcia Adams’ Tuscany.
Birds, birds, birds. There were so many of them!
We let some of them perch on our arms (well I guess it was more of them allowing us to be their perches haha).
The Hernandez family.
Me!

Sojourn: Marcia Adams' Tuscany
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
Tagaytay, October 31, 2011
After horse-back riding, we had lunch in Marcia Adams’ Tuscany. This was my second time to eat here and I ordered the exact same thing. I think I took better pictures this time cause I didn’t forget to photograph my food before eating it!
First some bread dipped in balsamic vinegar and olive oil.

Sojourn: Horse-back riding
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
Tagaytay, October 31, 2011
After having breakfast in Discovery Suites we headed to the horse-back riding site while waiting for the Hernandezes to come.
My dad and Philip chose to ride a white horse for the first 30min of our wait.
Tried killing time by looking for good things to photograph.
I even tried capturing the cars that...

Sojourn: Discovery Suites
sojourn: a temporary stay; stop; stop over; vacation
I’ve been to many places, eaten in many restaurants - I am hardly an expert on these things though. And in each of these places I have taken many lovely memories that (sorry for the cliche) would last a lifetime. I’ve come to realize that I have never shared these memories (and moments) with you. This is why I have decided to show...
Together Again
beamarquez:
The last time we were complete was exactly one year ago for Bea Fab’s 19th. Now, she’s 20 years old, which we’ll all be in a few months. It’s almost terrifying how fast time flies. And to think we’ve known each other practically our entire lives! Anyway, we had our traditional sleepover at her place last Tuesday! We first met up for an afternoon of gift shopping and What’s Your...
