Haaay, Manila WAS indeed beautiful before our time. DAFUQ. What happened to the capital of the Philippines?
Let us emphasize the picture of quiapo. Darn. In every part of that particular place, you can see many people including the muslims, selling some random shit stuffs. Oh wait, I can't blame them, its because of $#@$ poverty, right!right!right! Shhhh. I know. But in fact, I can blame them. First thing first, why do people go and engage in sex if they know they can't even feed themselves? F*ck logic. Dude, that's why there are so many people here in this cUNTry. Anyway, you can see in the photos above that the old city had no POLLUTION, POPULATION, HAD LOTS OF TREES and yea, just like my source said, "THERE WERE WIDE SIDEWALKS".

Wala na tayong magagawa pa sa mga nagaganap ngayon, ang magagawa lang natin ay tumulong upang hindi na madagdagan ang mga nakasisirang bagay sa ating bansa ;)

First Outdoor Photoshoot

Tuesday, April 10, 2012 Posted by Glenn 0 comments

"Yung mga hindi mautos-utusan ng mga magulang kahit sandali, mamamatay din sila balang araw. Tang ina!". That's my reaction for tonight. Fuck all the people who are lazy when it comes to following their parents. Damn.
Anyways, actually, this isn't my first outdoor shoot, I've been shooting in outdoor for thrice. My first two photoshoot in outdoor, all of them was merely a trash. lol. yep, a trash. This time, I have pushed my luck in shooting at University of the Philippines Diliman with Tina as my model and Peghie as my bestfriend and assistant. :)) Choosing your assistant is indeed important, you should choose an assistant who has a humor. lol. Who makes you as well as your model laugh everytime. :))

Going on, we went to UP at exactly 3:00pm. I texted my model to come to our spot at 3:00pm onwards. Then she came. darn. hahaha. Failed, Why? I didn't know what the hell I was thinking. The sun was still too high, I can feel its ultra violet rays biting my skin. hahaha.

I have read some tips on the internet that perhaps we photographers should bring some pen and notebook in order for us to take some notes about the time and for other random things that would help us in our next shoot. So, as far as I remember, I began taking snaps of Tina at exactly 4:30pm. The best time for me in the afternoon to have a shoot is 5:00 to 6:00pm :)

After the shoot, I downloaded and watch some tutorial in portrait workflow in adobe photoshop cs5. Then applied it in my shots. Here are the sample:

What does the bible say about Good Friday?

What Does the Bible Say About..Eating Meat on Good Friday? 
article from minuteswithmessiah

Where is it written down that eating meat on Good Friday is a sin? My boyfriend would like to know.

Answer

The Bible does not require anyone to abstain from meat on any day. In fact, the only passages in the New Testament that talk about it are Acts 15:29 and 1 Timothy 4:3. The passage in Acts 15 says that the only parts of the Law of Moses required by the elders and apostles in the congregation in Jerusalem were prohibitions against idolatry, fornication, and eating blood and meats from strangled animals. It says nothing about abstaining on certain days.
The passage in 1 Timothy 4:1-3 says, “Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; Speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; Forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth.” This says that people who command others to abstain from meats are false teachers. Whether it is talking about people who insist that others practice a vegetarian lifestyle at all times or whether it is talking about abstaining only on certain days (like Fridays) is unclear. Maybe it applies to both.
The practice of not eating meat on Fridays (all Fridays) dates back to about the fourth century. It is written in some writings of that time that it was a practice, but does not say it was a sin. Anyone who says it is a sin would have to prove it by the Bible, and the Bible says that requiring people to abstain from meat is itself a sin. Anyone who chooses not to eat meat on any particular day is within their rights to do so. Anyone who requires it of others is absolutely wrong.

additional tags: eating meat on friday, catholic regulations, holy week, meat on fridays, taking a bath on good friday.
