Photo of the Day [POTD]: bedtime story


As I lay my head against my pillow, I can not help but wonder what would have happened if I had done some things differently.

I remember an old cartoon, when you fume up like that with an irritated gleam in your eyes. It is kind of funny, but I still stay out of your way.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: extra-curricular

I’m sure you never meant to hurt my feelings. But you went ahead and did it anyway. So much for trust and fidelity.

I don’t think I lack confidence. In fact, I believe I’ve got a bit to spare. But there are just some situations — like whenever you’re around — that things just don’t work as they should; my tongue gets tied, I get flustered. I’m just not myself.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: little secrets

IMG_4005
You keep things so close to your chest. I have a nagging suspicion that you are hiding something from us all.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: twisted

Fancy meeting you in a place like this. Yeah, I know it sounds corny and cliché — but that’s all I could come up with on such short notice.

I wasn’t quite sure what I saw. It was surreal at first — something out of a dream that Picasso would have… of course, I’m just speculating.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: handmaiden

I was always by your side, ready to lend a helping hand or give a friendly word of advice. I was a shoulder to cry on and a ready recipient of your rants or raves. I never asked for anything in return. But a little reciprocation wouldn’t hurt.

Your ego will only get you so far. Hiding behind your big words and antagonism will eventually catch up to you.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: old friends

IMG_3782
It’s been a while since we last saw each other. I must have been four or five. You haven’t been hiding in my closet the whole time, have you?

Photo of the Day [POTD]: anywhere

IMG_3774
It doesn’t really matter where we are. As long as I’m with you, I’m good.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: value seeker

IMG_3759
Why are you so concerned with the afterlife? Are you so content with your life that there is nothing else you want to work towards?

Photo of the Day [POTD]: non pattern

IMG_3757
The randomness of things makes our lives more exciting.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: peek

IMG_3753
A glance into your soul is all that you can afford. Put down your defenses. Let your guard down. Unless you want to end up old, unhappy and alone.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: essential

Sure, you gave me a choice. None of them were really desirable, but I had to go with one.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: solitary refinement

IMG_3744
It’s been a while since I had some alone time for myself. I kinda miss it; it gives me time to think and gather my thoughts.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: love letter

IMG_3734
I thought I’d send you a short note — just to let you know how I was doing. And so I did for two years, without a reply. How have you been all this time?

The shape of things to come is yet to be revealed. For the moment, we have to rely on what we can make out of this.

iPhoneography play

Over a cigarette break, I was playing around with some apps from my iPhone to see how far I could edit some of my photos.

Here’s a sample.

For this photo, I used iFlashReady and PS Mobile.

First, I took a photo using the Camera for the iPhone.

I applied a Flash using the app iFlashReady.

But the lighting still wasn’t right, as the tree was still very dark. So I opened PS Mobile and increased the exposure. I also added the Vignette Blur effect for additional saturation and add a bit more vibrance to the photo. And out came the final product.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: deep inside

IMG_3721
If you search hard enough, you will be able to see beneath the surface. Beauty is skin deep; a true person’s worth lies in their values.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: blind faith

IMG_3719
Wherever you lead, I will follow with no questions asked. I only request that you keep me at a safe distance.

It’s getting to a point that none of us can take; it’s doing us more harm than good. A solution is out there. We just have to find it.

Photo of the Day [POTD]: pick your poison

Virtue or vice? Any excess on either side could lead to your downfall.
