Random Questions Answered & Paparazzo Shots: Take 2

I've just noticed that my posts lately have been bordering on either solemn and/or grim and/or serious.

I'm not a serious person.

For one thing, my husband thinks I'm a goofball, my sisters think I'm a lunatic, my brother thinks I'm senseless, my parents think I'm daft, even my own relatives think I'm possessed.

I'm the type who always trips, falls off a bed, and/or trips, slips and falls flat on her back at E.K. To prove that I am indeed the opposite of serious, here are this week's paparazzo shots.......... No, hindi ako nag-iinarte, my eyebags are ginormous as I haven't had deep slumber in the last 2 weeks........Piss off!!!
O see, I'm not at all serious. My parents were right all along.


Questions, questions, questions.............

Here are my answers................

I've been asked many times whether I have background in writing. I've been writing grim tales (as in violent tales, murderous plots, and villainous schemes) in my diary since kindergarten, does that count? I was Literary Editor of my high school paper. I won a Rector's Literary Award in UST during my freshman year for scribing something about Ninoy Aquino. Pretty weird for someone who was then taking Fine Arts. Satisfied??? This is probably because I read a lot, which explains why I have no social life and I only have 2 friends total, which would explain why I have no friendster account. It would be pretty stupid of me to sign up for friendster when I am fully aware that I only have 2 friends. Sedira counts as 1 friend, so that would narrow down my friendster contact to only 1. I do not have multiply either, I have no plans of signing up, so stop inviting me. I do maintain a flickr account, if only to (a) promote my blog, (b) so that I only have to upload my photos once instead of uploading them again and again and again to send to all my relatives, and (c) well, wala lang. I am seriously backlogged in my traffic posts and my very own Shungak Awards. Why? My dear Tito Bennet instilled terror in me. How? By telling me not to use my camera especially at night because I might get into trouble since some fraternity members might just shoot me for aiming a camera at them. So I got to thinking, what the heck, death does not scare me, so I still kept shooting. Now I have dozens of photos to choose from. Among them are pics of policemen and soldiers with traffic violations. Of which you'll see in the next few days as I have something in mind to blog about tomorrow. Apparently, because of Joel's birthday, I've been a little self-restrained. But now that it's been nearly a week, I'm back to my old self. See, who ever said I was serious? mwahahaha

Tripping: Paparazzo Shots

My husband calls me a 'paparazzo'. Why? Let me give you an idea, I have about 25 gig worth of photos on my computer alone, that does not include photos taken with my old, dinosaur age (Advantix) Ixus, photos from my cell, and photos that were taken with old analog cameras, like the ones that need developing. If you've been to my flickr site, that's not even half, maybe a third, I'm not sure. I try to edit my selection at ayoko namang puro litrato ng kacahakan ang nandoon.

My Dad (Hi Daddy) was actually the one who taught me how to use a camera. He taught me how to use a manual camera when I was ten. He taught me the basics of focusing, film loading, lighting techniques, which lens to use for what, you get the picture. Although now, dahil wala naman akong high tech fancy schmancy camera, I make do with a very simple Ixus. And since it's so tiny, I get to bring it anywhere I go.

I take pictures of nearly anything and everything. Road conditions, traffic violators, road accidents, pati mga squatters, tambay at nanglilimos sa kalsada. I don't even know what to do with some of them although I don't have the heart to delete them. Nope, I don't like local artistas although I do collect thumbnails of my favorite Hollywood fashionistas. So technically, I'm probably what you can call a 'snaparazzo', noh?

My husband is sometimes annoyed as I take pictures of him while eating, sleeping, walking, even in the toilet mwahaha........Wala raw akong patawad. Trying to get even, he now brings his camera with him and takes my photos. Well, paparazzo style........

I literally had to run away from him haha....... Feeling celeb??? kapal.........."Talk to the bag!"
Just trying to live out my fantasy of being celebrity. O huwag nang kokontra. Besides, can't a girl dream??? haha
