My college friend Miyo Sia and I wanted to collaborate on a photoshoot. Problem was, we didn’t have any subjects/models. Good thing her sister’s KPOP cover band/group 13seouls were more than willing victims models. The following are photos from that shoot.

Note: This is only part one, since they are 13 boys in the group and we only got to shoot six. Part two will be up by the end of January.

And here are the singles:

 

demolition047As I was about to go out and visit my uncle in the hospital, I got a text message from my wife that there’s a commotion outside the place we lived. It was causing traffic to stop. Being a media person, I grabbed my camera and headed to the scene. There were people on the overpass bridge at the foot of the Floodway bridge and traffic was being diverted to one lane. There were a lot of police and LGU security officers. I saw an ambulance and a lot of men dressed like construction workers: it turns out they’re the demolition crew. I arrived at the location only minutes after the residents fought off the advancing demolition team.

The location was supposedly a private property behind a construction site for the new Puregold Supermarket. The illegal settlers/residents have been there for at least 2o years. They are claiming that the demolition was illegal since they have a pending case regarding their right to stay there. They said that the demolition team didn’t have a court order stating they should be removed from that area. That’s why they fought back the earlier attempt to demolish their houses.

I’ve been a SMART Broadband or SMART Bro subscriber since 2004. I was actually the first in our street to avail of their service. Though SmartBRO’s service is not perfect (no broadband provider is), I’ve received consistent service ever since.

Now, I’ve just learned of a new FREE service for SMART Bro subscribers: SMART Bro UNLIMUSIC. Unlimusic lets you download the greatest hits from your artists. They currently boasts of 300,000 songs available as FREE downloads for SMART Bro subscribers only.

If you’re a SMART Bro subscriber, why not check the UNLIMUSIC page and check if your favorite songs are available. I’ve downloaded 5 songs already, and I’ll probably download a thousand more.

After a disappointing partial eclipse last 21 December 2010 (disappointing because of the clouds and the fact that it’s only partial), I decided to record the full moon the night after. How ironic was it that the night after the eclipse the sky was perfectly clear to reveal the moon in all its glory.

Here’s what I recorded:
