sometimes we put up walls not to keep people out, but to see who cares enough to knock them down...
true?

heritage photo shoot
one more thing i love about my b? he's also into photography! how nice would it be doing the thing you love with the person you love and you know that he also loves it? haha, that's three 'love' in a sentence!
we're thinking of joining this photo contest on hk's heritage sites. there were about 490 sites to choose from and we were only able to get to five. and it's only wan chai area! we only had two hours because we woke up late and he had to go to his sunday lesson. and the weather isn't very cooperative - it's freaking raining! we brought our tattered map and the list of the sites. it was quite disappointing seeing the sites because they were just torn down structures.
but you know what? it'll have to be one of our best times. never mind that we don't go to posh restaurants or that we don't give each other expensive gifts. i'd still prefer having somebody walk with me, hold my hand, look me in the eyes, kiss me, tell me he loves me and genuinely mean it. may ka-PDA na ko! haha!
if we weren't pda-ing, here are the photos that we took. they're so bad we never mentioned joining the contest again. hehe.
when he went to his class in sha tin, i was able to go by myself to the ten thousand buddha shrine and explore the place. i didn't know that it's a burial place. i don't know how they call it but it's a temple where dead people's ashes are placed after cremation. it's so creepy seeing all of the dead people's pictures. out of respect for their family, i didn't take much photos, and they're mostly outside.
then i was off to the shatin central plaza. here's my favourite spot in this new territory area - snoopy's world! giant snoopy figures! woot woot!
with plenty of time waiting for b, i was able to see this cultural presentation in the shatin town hall. some performances are ok, but i think they can still do better.
no doubt about the amazement on their colourful costumes. maybe i dont know that they're supposed to dance that way. or maybe i just got used to the performances in UP.
after a tiring day, we went to see our friends for dinner.
then it was downhill after that. our first fight. keywords: cigarettes and alcohol. it was messy and draining. but it was resolved sooner than i thought. now he promised to give up nicotine and refrain from alcohol, at least when he's with me. so you see, he's not perfect. but he tries to be. for me. sweet.

the wing lok documentaries
i dug out these videos in my computer. ok, if i were to dictate on what i really wanted to become, i would become a travel show host. i think i'll do well in dealing with the pressure of having to do a presentation of a place and smile my way through the camera. i think it's a talent having to do an impromptu presentation of, let's say a pen, and have it filmed nicely. maybe it's the reason why i keep on going out with wanna-be directors. my first acting debut was with my ex's broad comm project. i reenacted claudine barreto's scene in buttercup. i think i did well except for the life-saver like lump on my tummy area. now my bf is a wanna be director, and he has promised to make me a 'star'. haha! i get fascinated about talking to them about their dreams. it's so simple, yet so grand. i want to play a part in films or shows that could change people's lives the way beaches or beakman's world changed mine.
anyway, enough of the brouhaha. i am sharing a video taken by my sister when they came over christmas of 2006. yes, that's ages ago. i was way slimmer then. my hair wasn't a mess. i've got less blemishes. bright side: i think i looked good infront of the camera, especially when smiling (modesty aside). though now im fatter, darker and ive got the messiest hair in my life. and darn it, i look so awful side view! you could see my five layered chin! and it's more awful now! good thing i still found a boyfriend! if not, i'd be lamenting my solitary days in hk!
we were filming parts of my flat. though i guarantee that it's so much better now. the space is still the same but i rearranged the furniture and i removed the obsolete jurassic equipment.
comedy kung comedy! haha!

12th international hot air balloon festival
they have been doing this for years now and it's only less than an hour drive from my home, but this will be the first time that i actually went to the much coveted international hot air balloon festival in clark. armed with my dslr, i tagged along my sister and anjelica. we went during the last day with so much anticipation. i was imagining balloons for hire and i brought a few grands because i really wanted to try riding one. my sister and i even went to the salon to get a hair cut. we really wanted to look our best on what could be the most exciting day of 20 year living in the dustly land of pampanga.
we went there two hours before closing. i paid one hundred bucks for each of us. i was expecting that the last few hours will be the best part of the event. they should end it with a bang, shouldn't they? we were tipped by the gay hairdresser that sometimes the balloons wouldn't fly due to bad weather conditions. the weather during that day was perfect. everything should fall into place. the venue was jampacked when we went there. you could see the excitement from everybody. the emcee kept on saying that this will be the biggest festival of such kind to date. there were around 23 balloons in tow. to be seeing the colours from those gigantic fabrics in a blue sky background is really an overwhelming feeling.
the tagline is something like: a weekend of everything that flies. so there were even lots and lots of kites for people who cannot afford hot air balloons. and of course, it wouldn't be a sky event without a sky jumper.
the event is supposed to end at half past six in the evening but it's been five forty five and yet the balloons are still attached to the ground! they only kept on fueling them up with flames only to stay on the grassy soil. what is happening? it's certainly not what we paid for! we are expecting the balloons to go off the ground and make our childhood dreams come true! hot air balloons in the sky are equivalent to rainbows, or to meteor showers, only much more possible. that's what you paid for anyway! the emcee bid goodbye and they fanned the flames and folded the balloons, only to leave everybody in dire disappointment. i will never go to that festival again. i should start a boycott the hot air balloon festival movement. it's a complete waste of money! they shouldn't let people in if they wouldn't make an effort to create a spectacle. they should have indicated in the ticket booth that the balloons will not fly so people could decide if they still wanted to get ripped off. i was so pissed!
here are some photos:
the worst part? we had to walk the entire clark avenue on our way home! i wouldn't mind doing that if we had a good time. but to be disappointed and to feel like pricking all those bloody balloons, every step is a pain. and i've got a little kid to take care of! it's such a very big bummer!
the best part? seeing ramon bautista live! i am starting to become a certified fanatic these days. i approached him and i acted like a charming groupie trying to make a sensible conversation. i tried to talk about the UP centennial celebrations and he's kind enough to give in to another trying to be intellectual stranger. my poise got ruined when my sister and anjelica came and i happily claimed, "bena, si ramon bautista!" i got loka! so did my sister! his segment in gameplan used to be the highlight of our lazy sundays!
