A friend of mine wrote a book for me.
Well, it’s cool.
But I wanna tell you that, that doesn’t makes me holy.

A splendid message that I got from Fr. Eyong Ramos- well loved parish priest from Batangas. He came here lately to unwind and have a glimpse of Siam. I’m so blessed to have met him and listened to his words.
Related message:
God has given each one of us uniqueness, a talent, a skill, one that is ours alone to use in honouring him. How can we fulfill our potential? How can we be the best we can be wherever we are and whatever we do? How can we bloom where we are planted?
God enables flowers to bloom even in the most unlikely of locations. And God empowers people— like you and me—to bloom even in the most unlikely of circumstances. When we do bloom, others witness God’s glory and splendour in us. And that is how we are remembered.
– Margaret Johnson

Would life be as meaningful as hers even if I’m not into public service?
Certainly, YES!

I was thrilled to see her in person yesterday.
A woman of great caliber and as smart as a whip.

Portraiture Assignment for July week 2
Getting old is a natural process where things are slowing down, and you’ll begin to see that the sparkle in your heart and the twinkle in your eyes make you beautiful in a way that’s not achievable in youth.
“Age is an issue of mind over matter. If you don’t mind, it doesn’t matter.” - Mark Twain

There are seemingly a lot of messy things out there that tends to be useful in other ways. Textures are sometimes necessary to enhance artworks and in postprocessing a digital photo. Like this one I created for Romeo and Destine’s Prenup photos.
Free downloadable textures are available at GrungeTextures.com and UrbanDirty.com. See there high resolution photos that are very applicable for Digital Art, 3D Rendering, Web Design and Print Projects.

Among other sports, tennis is the one I love.
I have always been an absentee player before
now I’m trying to learn the basics regularly.
Tennis is a great stress buster
and good for the heart too.
Try it.

Dream, dream, dream
Ok, I’m posting the first part of my prenup photo adventure here within the campus.
Romeo and Destine are one cute couple. Both decided to look casual when I first talked to them about the plan of giving them a free amateurish Prenup photo shots. I was happy when both willingly agreed.
It was challenging to let Romeo smile as he’s always been a camera shy person. But we were able to force him to get used to it. He was left with no other choice but to throw his best killer smiles. LOL. Gio and Carlyne were fun to be around too. They’re my photo buddies.
