Subic Fun

We went to Subic last Saturday for a wedding coverage. I was excited with the idea already because I was in a photographer's mood. This does not happen all the time as I am too lazy to take shots. I mean for my personal file. Of course I work during the wedding ceremony and reception. But last Saturday was different. I was "trigger" happy. I'm glad I was able to take very good photos. Thanks to the photo memes that I joined, they took out the laziness in me, harhar.

Beach Wedding

You must be wondering why we were dressed up this way in our last wedding coverage. Fact is, the wedding was held in Subic, by the beach (well not exactly) but it was overlooking the beach. We were asked or rather we were given the permission to come in our beach attire. It was a fun wedding, for once it was sooooo comfortable working in khakis and white spaghetti top and of course the flipflops.

Lanterns

My daughter Ish took this picture. Isn’t it lovely? She is indeed the daughter of N. She proudly showed me this picture and a lot more she took in Subic. Now she is asking us to have it printed in 8r so she could have it framed and display in her room. Honestly I like almost all the photos she took. She has the eye, and it needs to be developed more. She only used her Canon point and shoot camera, what more if we gave her the professional one. The funny part, she was asking if she can sell her pictures in Ebay, haha. She even asked me if professional photographers really earn big moolah. Hmmm how should I answer that, if I’d say yes then she might forget her dream of becoming a lawyer.

Daughter Ish at Work

Darling Doll Ish requested if she could come with us to Subic for a wedding coverage last Saturday. This is the first time that she came with us. She has heard a lot about Subic from her Dad, so that’s probably the reason why she wanted to follow. Ahem, she thought she could go shopping at the free port, but sorry darling we went to Subic for work. Actually we just didn’t have extra time to do that…maybe next time ok? Anyway Ish took these two photos of us working. Quite unglamorous, but who cares, whatever position as long as we will take good quality photos. Btw, she helped in the editing of the video (client requested for an on sight editing). Now she’s demanding for salary. Haha, child labor, better give her salary or else ^_^

Pissed Off Big Time!

I just do not understand why there are still people who are ill-mannered and inconsiderate. At our wedding coverage yesterday, the couple hired two different teams of photographers. This is not the first time that we covered a wedding with 2 teams of photographers, but this is the first time I experienced such irresponsible photographer. I was elbowed, yes me, a frail photographer in my little black dress! How dare him! We were all lined up, ready to take photos of the couple, I was positioned in the right spot, and he was beside me. He probably wanted to exchange places with me, so he can take better pictures. But what the hell is that elbow for? This is not a do or die shot anyway! I may have forgiven you when you blocked my way twice or thrice, but this elbow thing? Man, we shall still see each other!

This is work, and remember we were both hired. Can you please at least give courtesy and show some respect next time, you are a photographer too and you wouldn't want this to happen, know how to play fair. Use your head, you can still take good pictures even in the sidelines you know!

In My Beautiful Top

Remember the cloth? Yes it’s the same cloth worn by Ish during her grandpa’s 90th birthday. I like the color a lot, so with the bead details, that I bought an extra 2 meters just to have this top sewn. I wore this yesterday at the two wedding coverages we had. Everyone said it was pretty. Just between you and me, I copied the design from one of the top designers from eluxury.com. I am happy how it turned out, just the way it is. Again, I want to thank Larry for making this beautiful top for me, I know you were sort of challenged with the design, and still you were able to execute it even if it was based only on pictures I showed you.

Thank you Dear Daughter!

"Who wants to go with me to Serendra?" asked N. 2 hands were raised! Don't ask who it belonged to...you already know the answer ^_^ We exchanged belly dancing for Serendra, hehe. Hmmmm, we can always dance at home, right Ichiko? We went with N last Friday when he met with one of his clients. We left him at Crispy Kreme, as usual to go shopping err window shopping I mean, well at least for me. And besides I don't have anything in mind to buy. Remember I'm saving my earnings from sponsored writing for something "big". I just wanted to chill out on a friday night.

But Ish had a different agenda. She wanted to buy a new comb and was thinking of Club Princess. Since my beauty and dancing buddy Rica gifted her with something from that store, it became an instant favorite of hers. Nah, she didn't find the comb she was looking for, instead she bought a necklace and a cologne. I'm touched that she also bought me a cologne. She said that she saved some of her allowance from the previous weeks to be able to get me something. But she had a punchline though. "Mom, when you get your moolah from all that sponsored writing, it's your turn to by me a watch from Club Princess, bwaaaaahhhh.

Note: I took that picture while waiting for the reception from our wedding coverage yesterday, what boredom can do really ^_^
