Rainy Saturday
(Writing this at Glorietta's Food Choices..)Already had my movie for this week; thus, just chilling it at the mall with the gloomy weather brought by Typhoon
Kabayan. It was a good decision to give the photos I promise to my "subject" for the Documentary Photography yesterday. At least, now, I don't have to travel through the downpour.
Renewed my
Laking National,
National Bookstore's loyalty card; paid my bills; lunch of Mongolian bowl at
Foood Choices'
Mongolian Quick Stop. Will spend time at Food Choices while waiting for the anticipated Mass reading my photography book.
(To be continued..)Attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at the
a Veneto Pizzeria Ristorante. Remembered I saw about the
negativiTEE shirts, dropped by to buy one "Feeling."
Captain America
Did not report for work today because of my tooth. Went to my dentist. I thought he would just replace the filling. He said that it is no longer possible. Thus, opted for a root canal instead of having my tooth removed.
After, went to the
SM Mall of Asia to pick-up from
National Bookstore the photography book I reserved. Then, went to
Guadalupe to give a copy of the photo/s I promised to my "subject" in my Documentary Photography class under the
Tilak Hettige.
Since I am already out of the house, decided to have my weekly movie. It is
Captain America: The First Avenger. A young, idealistic Steve Rogers (Chris Evans) dream of enlisting to fight the World War II; but, found to be too small and weak to be enlisted. But his tenacity and courage lands him in a secret experiment which turned him into America's first and only Super Soldier. The movie is very engaging. There's action and the humor injected is so natural. Me thinks there would be a part two... c",)
The Ward
Took a taxi to pick-up the items I reserved. Told the taxi driver to wait for me. When I came back, the taxi is no longer around! Really felt bad because I have not yet paid my fare. I do hope the driver will have a good day inspite of my boo-boo... :(
The movie for this week is John Carpenter's
The Ward. A troubled woman was brought to a psychiatric hospital in hopes of helping her. What faced her is a violent and angry ghost. The concept is similar to the movie
Identity. While Identity is mystery-thriller, The Ward is horror-mystery-thriller. Where Identity works within a motel, The Ward is at a psychiatric ward.
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
New Bombay.
Instant Photo Shoot
As scheduled, after office, arranged several light set-up at home in order to take several images to be used in the activity of our office's camera club this August. All the set-up uses two light source (electronic flash). Since my "model" is busy in her studies, have a stand-in while arranging the lights.
The plan was for the participants would randomly choose one image, do the set-up and capture a similar image. The participants themselves would be the "model".
My other niece who arrived late from office is my next model for the theme "Seeing Double"... Hehehe!
Guadalupe Hallows
Decided to continue with the assignment under the
Tilak Hettige's Documentary Photography class. He wanted an "ending" to my series of photos. Thus, took a "Madonna and child" image of my "subject" and her son.
Because I was able to finish early, decided to watch
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows, Part 2 in 3D. The "rumor" is true, the movie is great!
That was a good decision to split the last book of the Harry Potter series to two. Never tires watching Harry Potter movies, ditto reading the books. The same way I would not tire of watching the Indiana Jones movies.
Receiver
Brought to the store my transmitter to have it repaired. At the same time, picked-up the receiver I ordered. This is to be ready when I need a three-light set-up. (wink)
Given this is the first week of
Harry Potter and the Deathly Hollows, Part 2, decided would pass it up for next week. There would surely be a looonnnnnnggggggggg queue. Aside from selling movie tickets weeks earlier, through word-of-mouth, the movie got rave reviews.
Thus, just waited for the anticipated Mass to start. After, had dinner at
Super Bowl.
Scream of the Ghost
Hair-pampering day.
Somehow, I don't feel like watching
Transformers. Thus, opted for
Scream of the Ghost. Wrong choice...
Wedding Photography Seminar
Attended the seminar arranged by our office's Camera Club. The seminar is Wedding Photography conducted by Mr.
Chito Cleofas, one of the country's top-notch wedding photographer. He also happens to be the founder of my camera club.
After, went to the
Camera Club of the Philippines Center at
Waltermart-Makati to visit the exhibit of the "Dawn to Dusk" students of the
Tilak Hettige.
Framed Shots: Unusual Shapes
Today is the monthly meeting of our camera club. The theme is "Unusual Shapes".
We were asked to bring our camera and tripod for the OTS (on-the-spot). We were also to take unusual shapes on the spot.
Mr. Popper's Penguins
Transformers opened this week; but, decided to watch
Mr. Popper's Penguins instead. A comedy film about a successful businessman whose life turned upside down when he received a strange inheritance from his father--penguins! And they are definitely cute.
After the movie, attended the anticipated Mass and had dinner at
Italianni's.
