[rl]trippy new program
Oct 27, 2008 photography, tech stuff
As I was surfing through the PhilMug forum, I came across a post that led me to a new program that transforms your photos into polaroid shots. Of course, you can do this manually via Photoshop, but this application makes life simpler, by allowing us lazy users to just drag and drop the images into the application… and voila: instant polaroid, with a few neat effects (so far, I’ve come across scratches and fingerprints).
Of course, you have less control on the framing of your photo or the saturation of colors, but it’s a trade off, if you wanna use a drag-and-drop app.
Here’s a sample:

Amazing Philippine Beauties
Oct 25, 2008 events, photography
The Philippines is known for it’s hospitable people and beautiful destinations. However, unbeknownst to the majority, is the group of amazing beauties that can be found performing in the Manila Film Center in Pasay City.
Recently, the same group behind the performances held a pageant to crown this years queen, and perhaps become a part of the troupe.
However, what makes this “amazing” is the fact that these beauties actually belong to the masculine variety.
Check out the photos…
Yes, they are men.
High School Musical 3: Senior Year
Disney has found a great formula, bottled it up and churned out the probable last installment of its franchise in High School Musical 3: Senior Year.
Starring the tween / young adult favorites Zac Efron, Vanessa Hudgens, Ashley Tisdale, Corbin Bleu, Lucas Grabeel, the ensemble of cast members pull off one of the biggest productions put up by Disney in recent years.
Last night, I had the chance to catch the premiere of the phenomenon known as High School Musical, with four kids in tow… and the movie blew us away. Perhaps we enjoyed the flick for different reasons, but this just showed the universal appeal of the movie.
The set design and whole production was grand — with my personal fave, a song number by Ryan and Sharpay entitled “I Want it All”. And in true Evans fashion, the number was done in luxurious and ostentatious fashion, with several changes in sets that could rival even (a juvenile) Baz Lhurmann (Romeo + Juliet, Moulin Rouge) production.
Of course, the music was great, too. After all, this has become the signature of the whole series. It is just a little bit sad that the franchise has reached its end. But who knows. As Anshel, one of the kids I was with pointed out “Next year, College Musical na.”

I was taking some random photos, before our game, when I spotted a worker welding some materials. The lens flare from the sparks created a bubble around the worker. Here’s the photo…
