A mini-Photowalk at Tacloban City
I just had a mini-photowalk this afternoon at Tacloban City . I have been here in Tacloban for almost a month now and have been planning of doing a photowalk since then. It’s just that I didn’t have any chance of doing it because of my hectic schedule. This photowalk was not in the game plan today but my scheduled appointment was cancelled so I decided to go for a photowalk. Too bad it wasn’t fun doing it the first time because of the heavy rain that poured out the whole city. I think there’s gonna be a part 2 for this one because I know there’s a lot to shoot in the City. It’s so nice having a photowalk in Tacloban because the people are not over “usisero”. What I like most in the city is that people are obeying traffic rules. Since they don’t have foot-bridge yet, people are crossing the streets in the pedestrian lane. I was on my way to the Capitol when the rain started so I stopped by somewhere so that my camera won’t get any drops of rain water. I was waiting for over an hour and still the rain never stopped so I decided to just go back home and have a 2nd photowalk next time. So for now, these are the shots that I took on the busy streets of Tacloban City .

Kaang, Cebu's Finest Street Food
Kaang |
While I was walking on the streets of Cebu, I stumbled upon this street food along I don't know street. Its somewhere in Colon anyway. I saw a man eating something on a stick and the other guy on a plastic cellophane. I was really curious about the food they eat so I decided to check it out. I haven't such street food back in Manila and Davao so I think its Cebu's original. They call it "kaang" and this shells are being hauled from Bohol to Cebu. Big sized shell will cost you P15 and then smaller for P10 and those on the sticks are P5/sticks. I tried them all and was satisfied about it. Well, its hard to eat it because it has some sandy part that you will have to remove first before you enjoy this God's gift. Two thumbs up for this one.

The Heart Project
When I went back to Naval, Biliran last week, I've come up of this idea of doing a project in photography. I have a friend who has a Project 365 where his plan is to post a picture every day in a single year. Since I could not commit to take pictures everyday and post it in my blog or in my Facebook account, I planned a different project and I call it, The Heart Project. I know its too cheesy and corny but I think with this project, I can enhance my creativity and the way I see things. Actually, I already have shots taken somewhere in Naval and in places I've visited. So, in my later posts in this blog, I'll be posting them one by one and I hope I'll get a good feedback from the people who visit my blog.

Portrait: Luc
Let’s just say, I really like this photo of my girlfriend. One of my quality portraits shot, I think. But yeah, no bias at all, I really like this photo. I did a bit of an edit here specially with the light condition and all in all, this photo is perfect. Took this photo at the seashore at the back of their house.

Fisherkids
Four fishes for dinner |
When I had a week vacation in Naval, I went to Red Stone Ville to have some lunch. It’s almost Sunset when I saw some kids fishing on the stony part of the sea shore. I approach them and asked if how was the catch. They said that they were already there since 10AM and hasn’t caught any promising fish for their meal. They only got few small fishes probably not enough for most of us but enough to complete their meal for the day. While talking to them, I never thought that they would be very enthusiastic in sharing their stories to me. One kid told me that this day is not a very lucky day for them but still they will strive for more catch.
Life is really hard for them and but still they are eager and willing to survive. At a young age, they already started to work for their food. One good thing is that they don’t lose hope and they have the courage to stand in their own feet.

A Matter Of How You See It
This photo here is inspired by the Photoblog of Kala, AMatterOfHowYouSeeIt.com. I wasn't really expecting a good feedback on this photo but I just like the composition. I was actually challenged by Kala's blog. I really liked her photos and those photos inspired me when I took this shot. There are a lot of very nice subjects that you can see around its just the matter of how we see it.

New Maniniyot Face! New Banner!
I just got a new banner for my Ang Maniniyot blog. I really wanted a real banner since the day this blog was born but wasn’t able to create one because I don’t do well in Photoshop. Until I met a friend •Gboy•, a fellow Bisdak in Symbianize, who’s willing to help people who are in need of Forum signatures or website banners. I asked him to create a website banner for me and gave him the specifications of a banner that I want and after a few minutes, everything is all set. My banner is already done after a few edits in Photoshop. I tried the banner in my blog and checked if everything seems fine and I think it’s cool. I just got a problem with this new banner because when I checked Mozilla Firefox, the border shows up and also in Internet Explorer but in Google Chrome, everything seems fine. I tried to check for the CSS Code but to no avail, I could not find it. I just hope somebody can be able to help me out fix this one for me. Anyway, I just want to thank •Gboy• for making this blog more presentable.
Hiding Sunset
I went to this mall in Pasay City because I was craving for a sunset shot. I waited for an hour but nothing showed up. So I was like really frustrated of getting a quality shot but no sun really showed up. So I just took this photo and voila! Due to frustrations, I got this simple photo that really satisfies me during this time. Anyway, this photo was taken February last year. Just posted this picture here from my other blog, The Maniniyot.

Once Upon A Time
Aight, so let me tell you all something about my blog. I started this Photoblog October of 2008. Before “Ang Maniniyot”, there was “The Maniniyot” blog. The old blog is still active actually because I didn’t delete the account yet but I am actually planning to do so. I don’t really know what got me into this idea of creating a whole new Photoblog but I just did it in an instant. What happened actually was that I was trying to change the template of “The Maniniyot” blog to something else but was really tired of editing the HTML codes so my brilliant mind told me to just create a whole new Photoblog and now we have, “Ang Maniniyot”. Nothing has changed actually; some of the contents in this blog came from my old Photoblog. Maybe the major changes are the Photoblog Name and the template. So now, what I’m planning to do is to disable the “The Maniniyot” blog or put a javascript code that will redirect that blog to “Ang Maniniyot”.
P.S. Thanks for reading, I just don't really know what to write but I do really have this urge to write at this very moment. ☺

HDR Photos: Boat Set
I was scanning the photos of my Facebook accounts when I saw my HDR (high dynamic range) dedicated folder. I then realized that this photos hasn't been posted here in my blog so right now, I am telling you all what's the story behind this photos. I was first amazed by a friend in creating HDR photos. I really liked the outcome when you're processing an HDR. I thought of learning the trick and asked some friends online on how to create a wonderful HDR picture. In this sets of photos here, I know there's a very high demand of improvements. I'll have to practice more in creating HDR pictures. I don't really know why I like taking pictures of a boat but I just like it. There's something in the boat that can really get my attention so I'm sharing you all this boat shots in HDR.
Baby Portrait
This photo was taken outside the Church of Tanauan, Leyte after the burial of my Lola. I already seen this baby for how many times during the wake of my Lola but just I only had a single moment to take a picture of her. She's very cute and maybe it'd be good to share her portrait shot here in my blog. I didn't had a chance of asking for her name but I hope soon, when she'll be old enough to view my blog, she'll appreciate this photo that I took.

Pardo Church
I have not gotten any enough information about this church at Pardo except that it is located in Pardo, Cebu City. This church was built around 1860's if I'm not mistaken. I'm really sorry if I am not able to provide you good details about this church because this picture was actually forgotten in my memory card. I was reminded that I still have this picture when I was browsing my camera early this morning. I forgot almost everything about this church. Anyway, this church has been featured at Leylander's blog post "Southern Exposure". If I'd be given a chance to come back to Cebu, I'll visit this place again and gather some facts about it.
P.S. Sorry for the exposure.
