This is Manila Polo Club where I am copying and looking over Miguel’s weird chords.  Thanks to Jannette for taking pictures here.

This is the crowd in Ayala Mall, Cebu. Yes, there were a LOT of people. The stay was short lived. Very short lived. We left for Cebu in the morning, we left from Cebu in the evening.

Of course, it was always a privilege to play with the following seasoned musicians on stage. As for me, I’m just tagging along.

Top left to right: Neil (that’s me!), Benji, Jose, Tim, Dix, The Juteau’s (Evelyn and Miguel), and Mike.

Aquarela has an album and you should buy it because I said so! It’s really good for listening. Genre ranges from Bossa Nova, Brazilian Jazz, and everything in between.

Some various photos from church events:

MJ’s dedication and Master’s Voice Choir Christmas Presentation

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to everyone!

Zea, Jhellai, and Karen are good friends from the office who gave a piece of dark chocolate and stuck a candle to it for me to blow. Aaawww…

Thanks girls!

I also bought myself some presents that day…well, expensive presents rather. It was totally out of the plan, but because you have fellow photography enthusiasts who somehow possess the power to entice you to purchase gadgets beyond your budget, you will be left broke but happy. Aaah, the agony.

GEAR

Bought a Nissin di622 flash, macro extension tubes, camera IR remote, and the Energizer 15 minute charger. Once again, I am broke..but happy.

SURPRISE, SURPRISE

Jannette surprised me when I got home. She arranged a surprise party for me when I got home. Visitors were mostly churchmates. She also arranged for my HS friends to come, but everyone was busy with their respective jobs. Ok lang. It was a weekday anyway. Thanks Jannette! =)

Lo and behold, around the end of evening, Danny Javier (photo from www.apohikingsociety.org) of the APO Hiking Society called me to greet me. He’s my godfather. He invited me over at his home for lunch the following day. I happily agreed. After 15 years, I’ve never been back at his home. This was another surprise. I’ll write a separate post on it.

Thank you Lord for another year. Once again, you’ve proved yourself to be faithful, even when you didn’t have to.

We held a small gathering of people in Caleb’s place to have a costume, post-halloween party. Everyone was game.

Unfortunately, I wasn’t able to take a solo picture of Sheryl, who is as enthusiastic in photography as anyone who has an addictive trigger syndrome. She either played a car show model or a varsity player. I could be wrong though.

HOW TO SAVE

Instructions after the jump.

My flickr account is protected, meaning by default, you can’t save any of the pictures unless you have do screen captures and some manual grabbing.

I’ve created a LINK BACK page detailing what I would like to see from your page or wherever you decide to use your picture. It’s a friendly way of reminding you, “Hey, I took your picture”.

If you don’t want to read it, just paste the code to wherever you would like to use these pictures:

<a title="music, photography, internet - neil.lolin.net" href="http://neil.lolin.net" target="_blank"><img src="http://neil.lolin.net/images2/camera_neil.png" border="0" alt="music, photography, internet - neil.lolin.net" /></a>

Which would put this:

To simply put, I would like to get credit for the pictures I’ve taken and need the traffic in my site. =)

All pictures in this set is now under a Creative Commons License. Thank you all.

I have recently opened an online business, www.gadgetphilippines.com

I hope to bring my customers gadgets for their geeky needs at a price that they can afford.

I will be putting up more items as they come. My product line ranges from cheap macbooks, dslrs, ipods, and many more.

I do hope you drop by the store.

After much conviction and counsel, Danrey and Grace has finally agreed to tie the knot knowing and sanely aware that there is no turning back from this moment.

Congratulations to the two of them. =)

Of course, this is my share of photos for the event.

I came out with a self-proclaimed cool wedding quote whenever I am asked about weddings and imprisonment:

Ideally, you get married 3 times in your lifetime…

to the same person.

Hopefully, all the weddings I have participated in will be just like that.

Cheers!

I have just created an album featuring just faces – closeups or otherwise.

These here are pictures of friends and people I have come across with one way or another.

Bear with the Album cover. I personally think it’s a nice shot. It’s a rare moment I did not distort my own face.

SEE? She cannot obviously keep me in place.

I want one.

No, I do not need a poster of myself in your site.
