Baseball

So the Red Sox won the World Series. I haven't watched any of the games, I just read about their amazing comeback against the Yankees and their sweep of the World Series on the net.

Baseball isn't really a popular sport here in basketball crazy Philippines. Although I learned the rules of the sport as a kid while playing it on Intellivision and although my cousins (who I learned last Sunday visit this blog) and I used to play baseball on the dried up rice fields of Taytay, Rizal, I never really liked watching the game. I just found it boring.

Well that changed 2 years ago when I watched a UAAP Baseball game at the Rizal Stadium. With just a few die hard spectators, the energy level was like that of a UAAP basketball game. I guess you need to be really rooting for a team to enjoy the game. Anyway, I'm excited that November is coming and the UAAP Baseball season will be starting soon. I hope that the University of the Philippines Baseball squad get to defend their crown. UP Fight!

I'm also excited to photograph the sport using my new lens as I can now zoom in closer to the action. Below is one of my favorite photos that I took last year. By the way, that La Salle guy was out.

Government Launch

I was asked to cover the launch of this new bar called Government along Makati Ave. It is where Orange/Olive bar used to be. I was told that the dress code called for Fiery Red attire or else the Fashion Police will handcuff you (that's what it said sa flyer haha). So yun, I wore my red shirt. I haven't been to a dance club since the Euphoria/Faces days of freshman high school. Tagal na yon no!


Anyway, I was just reading livejournal posts that Government is supposed to be a gay bar. I kinda figured it out last night when buffed gay men in red were french kissing in front of me. Hehe ayos!



I was introduced to this guy but forgot his name. He started dancing the minute he entered the club and I don't think he ever stopped.



Government 2 


The place was packed. Champagne was overflowing in the VIP area where most of Manila's 'young' socialites were. Pansin ko lang na the teenage gays wore the more flamboyant clothes. Anyway, ate des pag bumisita sina Uma alam ko na kung san gilingan natin sila dadalhin. Hehe

Testing testing

Yesterday, we bought our first Canon L lens. The L stands for Luho and eventhough we got it secondhand, it was still expensive. I had to borrow money from my dad but hopefully the lens will pay for itself. We tested it today at Mimi's brother's school play. Below is my favorite photo... 





Actually, illusion lang yan. Yung lalaki supposed to be a man turned to a golden statue. Ang galing na lang na dun pumwesto si girl lead at ganun na lang expression nya hehe.
