Pizza Stand

We were eating at Don Henrico's one afternoon to celebrate my girlfriend's birthday. I got frustrated in taking a picture of this pizza stand and fortunately, I found one good angle and I hope you all like it. :)

Macro Wild Grass

This macro shot here was taken in a mountain resort in Boso-Boso, Antipolo, Rizal Province. I bought a lens for my mobile phone and one of them is a lens for macro. Playing with that lens resulted me this picture.

Street Lamp at MOA

This street lamp was taken at the back of Mall Of Asia. It was one tiring afternoon when I decided to go to MOA to unwind. I went there all by myself and carried my phone with me, as always. The thing that I like the most in MOA is the view at the back. There's like a park and playgrounds for kids. During night time, bars are starting to cater people. I used my phone when I took this photo, the noise are so visible. Tsk tsk.

Lily from Mall of Asia

I took this shot somewhere inside the Mall of Asia. I was with my cousin coz I accompanied here because she's buying some stuff for her vacation in Manila. We pass through this flower shop at the ground floor of MOA and I was looking at it to check if there's something that I could buy for my girlfriend. The flowers are beautiful and lovely. I took pictures of it and this one is my favorite. I liked it so much because of its color. I like the color white. Most of my shirts are white. Aside from the color, I also like the flower itself. My cousin said that its a lily. I don't know if it is indeed from a lily. I don't care, I just like it.

Mirrored vase

I was applying for a job last year and while waiting at the recruitment area, I saw this flower base sitting at the top of a glass table. The vase's reflection at the table was so clear so I decided to take a snap of it using my phone. When I checked the result, it was so cool because the glass seems to be disappearing. I just hope they won't sue me for taking picture inside their lobby. If they do, I don't know what to do! Haha. Anyway, back in the picture, I know the color is dull but I simply like it. I am also practicing the Rule of Thirds here and I hope I made it right. The noise are again visible but I think that's the disadvantage of using a mobile phone. I still need to practice more and learn a lot in the Photography field.

Figure Angels

I got this shot from our ancestral house in Naval, Biliran province. I was playing with my cousin's point-and-shoot camera and took this photo. Was really amazed by the colors of the figurins so I shoot it.

Hotel Lamp

After we our visit to Divisoria, me and my cousin went to the hotel where she and her mom is checked in. I still have a shift that night so I decided to just take a nap at the hotel. I don't have any problems with the clothes because I bought a shirt from Divisoria because I wasn't really planning to go home that day. Inside the hotel room was this lamp. The lamp was so simple but illegant. I don't really know how to take a picture of it until I come up of an idea of taking just the hole of the lamp. I liked the result and I was happy with it. My friends can't really figure out where I took this image. I hope ya'll like this simple shot by me.

Divisoria Today

Divisoria is one of the famous places in Manila. It is one of the busiest commercial area in the Metro. People goes to Divisoria because they are selling cheap items compared to those items you see in the mall. Of course, the problem is that all the items being sold here are immitations. The quality that you get is equal to the amount that you paid for an item that you buy. Divisoria is also known to be the den of thieves. This is one major problem when you shop at Divisoria. You will have to take care of your belongings because even earrings are being grabbed in your ears. I think the Government of Manila must do something about it. They should double the security in Divisoria because people continue to patronize the products sold here. The more people visit Divisoria, the more thieves will be present in the area. 

Before, when I first visit divisoria, the place was so crowded the it is really hard for you to walk in the middle of the street or even at the sidewalk. The stalls are being placed in the middle of the streets that's why when I visit it again with my cousin last month, there was really a big difference. The jeepneys can pass through the C.M. Recto street now and stalls are being placed on the sidewalk. The place is not too crowded anymore but I think it is only seasonal. It is more busier during Christmas Season and during School Season.

Why Maniniyot? What is Maniniyot?

I was asked by one of my friend if why did I use the word Maniniyot as a blog title. I told her that I don't see any problem in using the word Maniniyot as a blog title. To those who doesn't know what Maniniyot means is, its the Bisaya word for Photographer. Bisaya is one of the widely used dialect in the Philippines. I know it sounds funny and sounds obscene but I think that's just the way it is. I like the word itself. At first you wouldn't think that its a PhotoBlog and I like my blog to be that way. I hope that you will continue patronizing my blog and please, provide some feedbacks so that I will know what are my weaknesses and my assets. Thank you for the visit and I hope you come back soon. If you want to exchange links with me, just send me an email thru my contact form and I will reply to you as soon as possible.

Colored Pencil

I saw my cousin playing with her coloring book and got attracted to this coloring pencils. I like its neon colors. I arranged them and them and took a shot. Unfortunately, my N82's focus is not on the nearest side maybe because of its AF. N82's AF might not be able to handle very near focus. Well, I still like this shot though.
