I was inspired by the cover of Time Magazine to make something for myself:so nonetheless, here are some of the, uhm, not best but somewhat made this year 2009 so good! :)

first would be this
She is Ms. Maricel Manzano, the reigning Ms. San Beda. ito ang pinaka una ko na event coverage for this year, wala pa ako camera nito, I was still borrowing Ate Danna's (Big Sister) Nikon D70, also this was the start of my photoshoots with some dear friends. here are some of my unforgettable shots with them:
Jen Rodriguez, one of my good friends in the Nursing department of San Beda. more!
with Photog buddy, Mark "Mokong" Clemente, shooting Ayya Sardual. ano ba storya nito, basta huwag niyo na alamin, may magagalit. hahaha!!
my trademark, Sneaky shot, meaning hindi sila nakatingin sa akin, kasi may official photog na kumukuha sa kanila. hehehe
Ayya Sardual, with the fly that gown shoot! alam niyo sikreto nyan? akala ko kasi dati kailangan pa ng electric fan pag mga ganitong shoot, hindi pala, timing lang and then voila! papaliparin lang ung gown pagkatapos ng 1..2..3!!
after their photoshoot, at Greenbelt
during the Nursing week or Frolics (?) chilling outside the Nursing building

Irene talking with the Master himself. hehehe. Magic!
Ellai Tolentino, the best friend of my friend Marj Ramos, hmmm, tawagin ko itong on the rocks photoshoot, sa condo ito nila Marj, may problema sila noon, wag ko na sabihin kung ano. hahaha! peace friend!! :p

2009 was a good year for me, amidst the failures, shortcomings, pain and so on. sana maka graduate na and makakuha agad ng trabaho, ang hirap makahanap ng trabaho ngayon and hopefully related sa photography. haha. I realized my passion is this. kailangan lang talaga ng sipag. or kung hindi related sa IT or Media para makapag ipon.
to all of my friends, thank you for believing in me, for being good. i will always pray for all of you, whatever the future will bring, let us do our best.
hopefully din, more weddings and photoshoots!! yeyyyy!!!
sa graduation issue ng The Bedan nako mag name ng names and full blast thank you. haha
Happy New Year. all the best for 2010!
