This video tribute to Ryan Dunn was posted on dickhouse.tv — the one featured at the memorial gathering that took place at Paramount Pictures in Los Angeles last June 29.

He may be best known for being a member of the Jackass and Viva La Bam crew but to his fans, he’s one awesome daredevil who’s very loyal and down to earth and to his family and friends, he will always be the best person to be around with…

to the Random Hero, Ryan Dunn… pace e bene.

single shot, continuous shot… hmmm… (light bulb went… gzzzt!) 3? 5? no, 10 shots anyone?! not contented with just posing and stuff, we played with dear charlton’s other abilities — just set-up (in a VERY stable position; if not, am so gonna kick yer butt! haha!), run (carefully… i said carefully!), and just be goofy (if you want to)! here’s how it went… 

a night out with the girls. we haven’t seen amrel for awhile so we met up days before christmas, had our usual “dampa” dinner and stopped by a coffee shop… talked, clicked, laughed, clicked, clicked some more (with karl on the phone — hello, chubby? chubby?). cam addicts, huh (some “are” camera shy, really)?!

 

 

taking a break inside san agustin museum. it was a bit humid, not much visitors around but us (there was some sort of “shooting” inside the church, though), silence quite deafening (besides the occasional whispers and echoing footsteps) so we went… click, click, click! hahaha! tata has the most animated expression in this bunch!

 

 

as if we own the streetit was our captain’s special day! the hukbalahaps (hukbong bayang laging nasa hapag) were invited at their hq for a day of shenanigans — well, that part didn’t come ’til we decided to call it a day… so, five? let’s go for ten! and here’s one of those sets… amidst the scorching sun and the possibility of an incoming jeepney (kap’s on the look-out), we just went for it—going bonkers and all (notice any pattern with tata’s poses?)!

  

towards the setting sun. this was the last night of the backpackers in pagudpud. the day after, they went to laoag and finished their “the fast and the furious” tour in vigan. who’s who in this reel (eeny, meeny, miny, moe — jhulz, twinx and aeon)?  

 

 

mind you, my friend already did the same thing with her pics and it was hilarious (except for the part i asked her NOT to post… crap, man)! i guess it’s more awesome if you have like 10 shots or more, right? and if there are more movements, perhaps? go ahead, try it next time you get bored (or feel those creative juices about to burst). that’s all for now. ’til the next clicking!

went to a friend’s niece’s birthday party last week (regardless of the lack of zzz’s) and just had fun taking some snaps of the kids (okay, including the adults) at the occasion — it was a “princess-themed” party (and no, i’m not in any ball gown or something; no tiara either ’cause i’m the big bad wolf… haha). well, here are some of the pics i took… enjoy!

 

 

 say bon jour to the birthday girl — samuelle (a dead ringer of her mom’s indeed! she changed into 2 outfits that day)!

***

 

some of her guests in costumes: a baby duck — doesn’t show much of the yellow and white fur thingy, though.  hah! li’l fingerprints on my lens (just wiped it off ;p)! a fairy princess — in shock or maybe something underneath just went… poof! magic, magic! and erm, a… grumpy princess — asked her to smile and… that’s what she did?

 ***

here’s what these cousins are doing while their folks are busy entertaining guests (nope, didn’t get too close to any of the helpless cupcakes; it didn’t touch the icing at all… not!)

ah, li’l angels can do no wrong! cute bunch ain’t it?! made me wanna try my hands on portraiture once more (hah! when will that be)… wish me luck!

pencils and pens everywhere, notebooks and scratch papers stashed somewhere, still haven’t sat on my thinking chair (as if i have an exact “thinking chair”) longer than i should have. since i haven’t got much time continuing my writing and stuff (too much work time again?! darn it!), i decided to post some pics from my drafts (here they are, dude!). these are from curious chuck’s wanderings up north… diverti!

welcome to calle crisologo (taken around 4 am… yep, been strolling down the street THAT early!)

 

 

snaps from the whirlwind ilocandia tour (any guess how long it was?)

 

 

and the one in yellow’s taking a snap of chuck (say “keso” charles!)

 

ah, yes… good times, good times. hopefully this will put my scribbling hand to work soon (gotta get loads of zzz’s, though). and after some time… zoom! off to another journey for curious chuck and the backpackers.

“Twenty years from now you will be more disappointed by the things you didn’t do than by the ones you did do. So throw off the bowlines, sail away from the safe harbor. Catch the trade winds in your sails. Explore. Dream. Discover.”

J. R. R. Tolkien

Capricorn-Aquarius Cusp is anything but dull. They may be flamboyant and exciting. Even those born in this sign that seem quiet and unassuming have a vivid dream and fantasy life… they just prefer their excitement in private. They may be prone to unusual experiences. They are usually very visual. They may experience vivid dreams that make their waking life dull in comparison. This dream world may become their inspiration for creativity in writing, art or other endeavors.

huh… no wonder… ;p

the outlander

Posted: January 6, 2010 in thinking out loud

outlander… an outsider, a stranger, a foreigner, an alien…

the outlander, that’s who i am. i solely wander through the busy places and crowded corners of this enigmatic place i cannot call my own… well, it may sound quite melancholic but… nah! it isn’t at all! it simply is… a way of life. at least a way of my life.
i am forever a student and this world is my classroom. i placidly discern the mysteries of every creature i encounter. but then again, i may merely observe or just shrug it off.
