If you look at ex-President Gloria Macapagal Arroyo now, she would be a perfect model for weight loss pills that work because of her looks. I really pity her on her situation. Ever since her term as president ended, it would seem as if she was struck with some form of rare disease that required either hospitalization or operation. And with the flow of massive controversies surrounding her and her governance, plus the undivided attention the present government is giving to her and her family’s actions, it would seem that this part of Philippine history has just begun and we, the Filipino people, have many more versions of tricks, lies and truth that are about the be unveiled before our eyes. Whaddyatink?

The above photograph of a hanging bridge which I took inside the premises of Regina Rica in Tanay, Rizal had a double whammy this month by winning on two photo challenges.

1st place on the 24th Photo Challenge with the theme “Halloween” at www.pnsers.com and just recently on 19th position out of 122 entries at Challenge #94 with the theme “Dark, eerie, spooky, ghostly” at dpreview.com.  Not bad at all

Blogging

Blogging at Coco Grove in Batangas

I think it’s pretty obvious because I created this blog – “websaytko” or in english “my website”. Going online on its 6th year next year, whew parang kailang lang ah, mag-aanim na pala! Unprecendented dude!

Although nothing much had happened through my years of blogging except puttin some dollars on my pocket, gain exposure and improve a little of my english grammar and vocabulary. (meron ba? haha!)

Don’t you know that during the first year of this blog I regularly posted in filipino. haha! You won’t be able to read it now coz I already translated it into english!

Shooting or photography

Mimicking my idol FrancisM

Every blogger needs a camera, that’s how it all started. Having a camera is one way to journal my activity and at the same time the photos I’ve made makes my blog post more lively and colorful. Until it eventually evolves deeper by shooting more than the ordinary snapshots. I got interested on angles, lighting, focus, symmetry, rule of third and everything else follows.

One of my photography legacy is having founded the “Point n Shoot Users” community and the “PnSers Camera Club” of which I’m the incumbent president.  By the way, the club is turning 1 year old this coming November 20, 2011.

Motorcycling

Motorcycling in Hongkong

I’ve been riding motorcycle for 9 years now. Of course I had my share of spills and mishaps, good thing nothing serious though. I’ve been riding to many places like Atimonan, Baguio, Atok, Manaoag, Tagaytay and the latest and most gruelling, Pagudpud.

These are the three things I love doing again and again and again, and will keep on doing until who knows when. Thank God for all of this inspirations and passion in my life!
