so my parents finally found the ancient SLR we had from decades back. i've been bugging them for the longest time to look for it and the hype sort of died down after a while. but then this morning, my mom had the best morning-news ever. she pulled out of one of her drawers and voila! the old SLR! and so i felt like the happiest boy for christmas. except that now, i need to know if this thing

i know i'm not exactly doing a great job at keeping ryaneeners afloat. but nevertheless, i still have been going around. taking pictures. going crazy. the whole shebang. i have a feeling he's gonna be up and about pretty soon again. but until that time, let me share my flickr account. :) Neener's FLICKR!

sometimes, all it takes for a sunday morning win is a dip in good ol' clubhouse swimming pool. sundays in tagaytay are always do-whatever-you-want-to-do-with-your-free-time days. we practically have the whole day to ourselves. there's not that much to do in tagaytay so you're bound to either squeeze out some creative juices out of your spontaneous brain or just do some lazy club housing. that

we've officially gotten accustomed to eating out for free almost twice a month now. all thanks to the random rewards and recognition stuff we have scattered all over. we're not complaining. i've actually lost track of why we have money to spend on food. but when we do, i make sure we spend it wisely! haha. so i click-the-city-ed and looked for places. vinci pointed this one out and i think it

continuation from part 1... so the next day started pretty early. i was still a little woozy from the previous night's first encounter with red horse beer. but that pales in comparison to the need of taking diane's and marien's surf pictures. that is, after all, why they dragged me along. i woke up around 7am to incessant poking at my back. diane was up early. and i had to attend to the call

there's something undeniably tantalizing about the idea of spontaneously being dragged to a road trip with random people to the beach for a weekend surf. every word in that seems to perfectly point towards random fun! so when i got the chance to do something like it, i grabbed the opportunity and just went with the flow (despite being financially restrained). diane dragged me to take pictures of

sunday morning is just about the laziest i can ever get. and no other place right now makes this all the more conducive than tagaytay! my room there isn't facing the morning sun so my face doesn't get raped by early morning sunlight. and no one is obliged to wake up early. amazing. best deal in the world, if you ask me. one morning, i woke up to a ruckus outside the house. and apparently,

the fort has gone a long way from what i remember it back when we just used it as an alternate route home. now, it's completely getting the touch of rapid development. so fast, that some places end up getting overlooked. but when you pay a little more attention, there're actually more little nooks and crannies in the fort that have yet to be discovered! a couple of fridays ago, we wanted to

the family recently went up to baguio. the plan was to have no plans. literally. plans like that always work out quite perfectly. no hassle or pressure. just plain i'll-drive-up-to-baguio-and-do-nothing. welcome to our family. we like burning up gasoline that way. but then again, manila heat is just plain unbearable these days that random trips to relatively cooler places, despite being 400kms

there are just some days that plans are rendered completely useless. and if you think about it actually, the more you force it, the more it fails. spontaneity is the ultimate key. it does wonders beyond comprehension. and of course, spontaneity's never complete without mansanas.a couple of saturdays ago, i planned to have one whole completely plan-less day. and i was aiming to keep it that way.

work is insane. that's a fact. but sometimes, all we need is an outlet of all the stress we get pent up from all the days' work. what better way to do so than contorting your body to mind-twisting positions for a good hour so, right? i don't consider myself a photographer really. right now, i see it more as a hobby i'm still trying my hand in. but about a month ago, i got invited by a friend in

continuation from part 3... we woke up a couple of hours later all woozy and disoriented. there really was no jet lag but the lack of sleep the previous night left us all cronked out. but since we promised ourselves we won't be wasting any of our short precious time in bangkok, we all quickly prepped up for dinner and what could be the rest of the night. we were also under the impression that

continuation from part 2.. bangkok heat was insane. and we had to endure tons of it the entire friday walking around khao san. jay said that part in the movie the beach where they go shopping for supplies and stuff was shot in khao san. i've always been a fan of the movie but never really figured out where it was geographically. when we got to the place, i thought the place was pretty

continuation from part 1... so we had the rest of our only full day in bangkok cut out for us. just so you know, we booked for a two-day-two-night thing. don't ask how that happened. we're spontaneous that way. a little too spontaneous and impulsive too sometimes. haha. so to not waste our short stay, we planned on spending them to the fullest. and by fullest we mean leaving the hotel for the

and so finally, us AS people finally got to book a trip. in fairness to us, we skipped the whole road-trip part and went straight to flying abroad. which was totally fine by me! anything involving traveling is a welcome change of scenery. i wasn't here in the country when diane booked our flight. but when i found out about it, they heard no apprehensions from me whatsoever. i gladly paid

a few weeks ago (i never remember cos i'm old that way), i had to go look for a place where my team could be treated out by one of my team mates. one of those we-did-one-hell-of-a-kick-ass-shit kind of thing that warranted a pig-out day. yeah, i know. eating now is the new de-stressing secret. well, i dunno about new, actually. but anyway, i wanted to bring them somewhere interesting. not that i

18 entries later... and so the transferring of entries from nini to neeners is officially finished! so okay, i'm not completely satisfied with how the pictures turned out. i mean, i literally just cut and paste them from tabulas and hoped to god the html codes get copied in the process. and well, they did. fall back of the seemingly full-proof plan though was that it copied an ugly html code for

repost from nini. ... after a looooong while, my family finally gets to get a house somewhere relaxing. it's always been a dream for us to get some sort of a rest house some where. of course the perfect scenario would be to get a place along the beach. but that would be a financial nightmare (for me, that is). so some time january, we finally agreed to buy the tagaytay house that's being sold
