Puerto Gallera

My colleague once threw this question: "Bakit mas maganda ang sky sa province as compared here in Manila?" This made me think na “bakit nga kaya?” and my mind traveled back to my physics days when my teacher asked the class as an introduction to Optics “Why is the blue sky?” And after some muni-muni and observations, napagtanto ko na it is the polluted air that obstruct the beauty of the Manila sky. Dust and smoke, mainly from the vehicles, suspended in the atmosphere block and scatter the light rays making our view of the Manila sky less vibrant as compared to the provincial sky. Anyway, this is just an explanation based on my personal thoughts – No Approved (Therapeutic) Claim.


I’m always a fan of the sky – whether its day or night, whether its sunny or rainy. I just love watching it. A friend told me that he enjoys looking at the stars because it reminds him that he is just a tiny piece of the UNIVERSE and a vast reality is still out there waiting to be discovered. But for me, its an appreciation of God's work of art. :)

Here are some shots of the Gallera skies.

Thanks God nakiayon ang whether sa aming trip.

And I guess a lot of people are thankful too!

But at some point, the sky shows signs of rainfall.

But the people are busy enjoying the beach to give the screaming sky a damn.

But at the end of the day, no RAIN has fallen. Hoorah! And behind the clouds is the sun, ready to shower us with its rays to give us skin cancer. Hahaha!

Lots of people at the White Beach.

Whenever i see this kind of dance, i get a little bit frustrated. Why can't i dance like them? :)




Super galeng right? I couldn't imagine how they conceptualize the dance steps. Bravo!

unfaithful

Canon Rock

It was my brother who shared me this music. Nagandahan ako so I immediately searched the web for the nature of this music and i found myself watching this video in youtube.





It was a remake of Pachabel's Canon in D major with an incorporation of rock into it. Even though both compositions carry the same tune, they contrast each other at least to me.



Honestly, Canon Rock reminds me of my past relationships - happy times as well as the bad times as compared to the changes in tempo and mood of each part of the instrumentals. Cheesy yes. Hahaha! The original composition, since its classical, is relaxing and soothing to the ears. I usually listen to this when im stressed and exhausted. It kinda makes me feel peaceful and sentimental. Then makakatulog na ako. hahaha!


Anyway, I was just reminded by these musics when Ian showed me this video of a Pantene (shampoo) commercial in Thailand.




A little bit lengthy for a commercial huh but it is amazing right? and true. As the last frame, YOU CAN SHINE ... with PANTENE :)

Last Dance

"This is my last dance with you

This is my only chance to do all I can do

To let you know that what I feel for you is real"

"Life is worth living"

Injected with HIV by dad as baby, teen inspires
Missouri boy, now 18, is graduating from high school, helping AIDS victims


ST. CHARLES, Mo. - Brryan Jackson has been left out of birthday party invitations and asked not to use water fountains. His daily routine at one point included 23 pills, three IV medications and two injections. But the toughest part of growing up with AIDS for him may be knowing how he got it.
When he was a baby, his father entered his hospital room and injected a syringe of HIV-tainted blood into his tiny body. At times during his childhood, he was expected to die.Now 18, he'll put on his black cap and gown Saturday and graduate from Francis Howell North High School in St. Charles, near St. Louis. Shielded from the public for much of his life since his father's high-profile criminal trial a decade ago, Brryan is now an outspoken advocate for people with AIDS, and the power of faith and forgiveness.

What goes around comes around

Big Ant International have won a Gold Pencil for Design (Public Service Poster) at the One Show Design Awards held this week. Four posters were designed to wrap around poles, campaigning for an end to the war in Iraq, pointing to the Global Coalition for Peace web site. Grenades, rifles, missiles and tank guns come round the pole to catch up with the aggressor in each poster. What goes around comes around. The campaign won a Silver Pencil at the One Show and has also been shortlisted at the Clio 2009 (May 12-14) (WON GOLD) and D&AD Awards (June 11).
