Inferior Poet

We hit the Laguna Loop weeks ago. Here are the photos that I have taken on our trip. First stop is the Morong church in Rizal. I actually do not know the exact name of the church. It has gothic (?) design and I was amazed when I first seen the church.

The church was closed when we got there but we are able to go inside since the people maintaining the church was very accommodating. The glass windows are breath taking. I have only taken one picture since I could not decide which window to choose.

Outside the church, this scene is my favorite. This is located at the back of the church. This photo makes me realize that I love taking photos of doors. I just don’t know what it signifies.

In front of the church, you could see the Dambana ng Kagalakan.

I was pretty damned please with the results of the photo shoot the other day although I have only seen the first batch of the pictures. But Glenn was kinda pessimistic about the shots and when I look again at the pictures last night at home, I suddenly feel that as if I didn’t do what I should. The make up looks smudged and appalling at the second batch of the pictures. Makes me feel sad though, as if I didn’t do well at my work.

Models are tired and I didn’t retouch the make-up cause we are all sore tired. The photographer said that we still have chance even though the OSMA site has a great photographer, beautiful models, and outstanding crew. He said that the pictures we saw are just the raw material. There’s still a chance since he could edit the photos (background only). Actually, I do not care about winning, I just want to see that the outcome of the shoot is good and having a better finish product is more than winning. Man, this is my first gig that my effort will be judged and documented. That’s why I am really conscious about it. Well, I guess there will be ore pressure to come because all the models will hit the stage next month at Subic.

I still could not post the pictures. I’ll try to ask the photographer after the judging, maybe I could then.

We had our photo shoot yesterday for our account’s (?) entry for a company photo competition. It was really tiring but at least the sun was not scorching hot. The photo entourage must be employee of the company and within our account, from the photographer, models, and to the designer. I was asked to do the hair and make up. At first, I was really hesitant. I am not professionally good but I guess what I did yesterday was pretty decent. Well, I can say that I didn’t make the models look cheap.

Anyways, what really scare me yesterday were the Taguig policemen. While we’re shooting, a police car pulled over and run towards our car. We were inside the abandoned building and I saw the cops run as if they were in an entrapment operation. I was so scared that they would fire at our cars, I shouted at them saying where we at. I think they said that what we are doing is illegal. The the Fort officials know that we are shooting that day and we have our permit at their office. Guards rounding within the Fort leave us alone as soon as we said that we had permits but the policemen did not. Glenn, the photographer, said that the police might thing that there are people having sex at the car and that’s why they acted as if they were about to arrest someone.

Bottom line, the police extracted money from us. They said that their patrol car is about to be gas empty. Hello?! What if we are dense and told them so what? Glenn asked two hundred buck from our coordinator. How she can reimburse the two-hunderd pesos? Maybe we should ask for a receipt at the police. Hahaha!

Nwei, I had fun yesterday. Again. I like this type of unwinding..
