HOLGA 135 Lomo cam!

I was so happy when adik gave this to me as an advanced birthday gift. Thank you so much baby! Natuwa talaga ako pramis. Kala ko film lang ang kaya mo e! Ahaha! I so love my Holga! Isa na namang addiction 'to! At magastos na hobby ha! Sabi nga ni adik tapos na daw ang responsibilidad nya ke Holga. Ako na daw ang bahalang mamoblema sa pagbili ng sangdamakmak na films at pagprorocess nun. Cge na nga ako ng bahala dun! Malay mo isa rin 'to sa ikayaman ntin! Ahaha! Wish!

Do check out my first taste of lomography on my multiply site
CJ's Multiply

I kindda like the output of my shots. Sympre noh love your own! hehe! Im hoping I'll improve as time goes by. Bsta ang importante I love what I do and I do it for fun! Yun na yun!

Natuwa ako d2:

THE FIVE FUNDAMENTALS OF HOLGA

1. FREE YOURSELF FROM RULES
Holga neither knows nor respects any rules. Its sheer simplicity is your key to power. Think of Holga not as a camera but as a paintbrush, liberally splashing your medium-format canvass with exactly the elements that you choose. Envision your desire and manipilate your Holga to bring them into reality.

2. EMRACE RANDOM RESULTS
Holga is a loose cannon, an unpredictable partner who sometimes makes its own decision despite your most strident attempts at control. Many times, your best creations will be the result of your most foolish mistakes or oversights. Dont fight it! Roll with the punches and stay flexible.

3. DISARM YOUR SUBJECTS
Holga is not one to be taken seriously. It looks oversized, kinda clumsy, a little toy like, and definitely not intimidating. Your subjects will relax, have fun, and open up for your lens. Let yourself flow right along with Holga's innate power to strip away pretence and posturing.

4. ENGAGE INDIVIDUALITY
Each Holga is unique and different from the rest. Some produce brighter images, some more colorful images. Appreciate these inherent quirks and seek to employ several Holgas for a range of results.

5. GET YOUR HANDS DIRTY
The simplistic mechanics of Holga invites you to play with them. Dive inside its inner workings and discover what makes the Holga tick. Experiment with different modifications and treatments.


AND PLEASE, DONT FORGET TO TAKE OFF THE LENS CAP!
YOUR LOMOGRAPHIC SOCIETY


Haha! Panalo!

Barack Obama's Open Letter to the LGBT Community

Photobucket

Never in the history of American presidential elections has the LGBT Community’s vote been so aggressively sought as during the 2008 race for the Oval Office. The following is an open letter from Democratic presidential candidate Barack Obama to the LGBT community. For comparison of both Democratic candidates in regards to gay issues, please refer to Senator Clinton’s Open Letter to the LGBT Community, also found on this website. The following is Obama’s letter in its entirety.

An Open Letter to the LGBT Community:

I’m running for President to build an America that lives up to our founding promise of equality for all – a promise that extends to our gay brothers and sisters. It’s wrong to have millions of Americans living as second-class citizens in this nation. And I ask for your support in this election so that together we can bring about real change for all LGBT Americans.

Equality is a moral imperative. That’s why throughout my career, I have fought to eliminate discrimination against LGBT Americans. In Illinois, I co-sponsored a fully inclusive bill that prohibited discrimination on the basis of both sexual orientation and gender identity, extending protection to the workplace, housing, and places of public accommodation. In the U.S. Senate, I have co-sponsored bills that would equalize tax treatment for same-sex couples and provide benefits to domestic partners of federal employees. And as president, I will place the weight of my administration behind the enactment of the Matthew Shepard Act to outlaw hate crimes and a fully inclusive Employment Non-Discrimination Act to outlaw workplace discrimination on the basis of sexual orientation and gender identity.

As your President, I will use the bully pulpit to urge states to treat same-sex couples with full equality in their family and adoption laws. I personally believe that civil unions represent the best way to secure that equal treatment. But I also believe that the federal government should not stand in the way of states that want to decide on their own how best to pursue equality for gay and lesbian couples — whether that means a domestic partnership, a civil union, or a civil marriage. Unlike Senator Clinton, I support the complete repeal of the Defense of Marriage Act (DOMA) – a position I have held since before arriving in the U.S. Senate. While some say we should repeal only part of the law, I believe we should get rid of that statute altogether. Federal law should not discriminate in any way against gay and lesbian couples, which is precisely what DOMA does. I have also called for us to repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and I have worked to improve the Uniting American Families Act so we can afford same-sex couples the same rights and obligations as married couples in our immigration system.

The next president must also address the HIV/AIDS epidemic. When it comes to prevention, we do not have to choose between values and science. While abstinence education should be part of any strategy, we also need to use common sense. We should have age-appropriate sex education that includes information about contraception. We should pass the JUSTICE Act to combat infection within our prison population. And we should lift the federal ban on needle exchange, which could dramatically reduce rates of infection among drug users. In addition, local governments can protect public health by distributing contraceptives. We also need a president who’s willing to confront the stigma – too often tied to homophobia– that continues to surround HIV/AIDS. I confronted this stigma directly in a speech to evangelicals at Rick Warren’s Saddleback Church, and will continue to speak out as president.

That is where I stand on the major issues of the day. But having the right positions on the issues is only half the battle. The other half is to win broad support for those positions. And winning broad support will require stepping outside our comfort zone. If we want to repeal DOMA, repeal Don’t Ask, Don’t Tell, and implement fully inclusive laws outlawing hate crimes and discrimination in the workplace, we need to bring the message of LGBT equality to skeptical audiences as well as friendly ones – and that’s what I’ve done throughout my career. I brought this message of inclusiveness to all of America in my keynote address at the 2004 Democratic convention. I talked about the need to fight homophobia when I announced my candidacy for President, and I have been talking about LGBT equality to a number of groups during this campaign – from local LGBT activists to rural farmers to parishioners at Ebenezer Baptist Church in Atlanta, where Dr. Martin Luther King once preached.

Just as important, I have been listening to what all Americans have to say. I will never compromise on my commitment to equal rights for all LGBT Americans. But neither will I close my ears to the voices of those who still need to be convinced. That is the work we must do to move forward together. It is difficult. It is challenging. And it is necessary.

Americans are yearning for leadership that can empower us to reach for what we know is possible. I believe that we can achieve the goal of full equality for the millions of LGBT people in this country. To do that, we need leadership that can appeal to the best parts of the human spirit. Join with me, and I will provide that leadership. Together, we will achieve real equality for all Americans, gay and straight alike.


Barack Obama

    Finally, Im done reading it. As always, can't put a good book down. Maganda. Nakakaiyak. Nakakatouch. Stirred every kind of emotion in me. Kaya tuloy naging interesado ako sa Afghanistan, Taliban and the likes. I was actually searching the net for it. Google earth pa para makita ang Kabul. Hindi ko alam kung magugustuhan ko din ang film. Di pa kasi namin napapanood but I'd love to see it also. Kaya naman panay ang tanong ko sa aking suking neighborhood store kung me available na kaso wala pa raw kopya kaya bukas isa sa mga agenda namin ni adik ang maghanap! hehe!

    Read it and Im 101% sure that you'll like it. Tama na ang romance novel. Try nyo 'to! Maganda, pramis!

    I have moments of temporary insanity and kapraningan. Everyone does, I know thatfor sure! It usually happens when frustrations start to hit me. Minsan nakakafrustate talaga ang mga bagay-bagay you dont have any control of. Pero sabi nga ni tita ganun talaga yun. Mas maeenjoy mo ang mga bagay na alam mong talagang pinaghirapan mo, and I second the motion. Medyo sa mga panahong ito e talagang maikli ang pisi ko. Pasensya na pero tao lang. But Im really trying to control my temper kaya ang mantra ko ngayon e ang mantra ni Dr. Bailey ng Grey's anatomy -- I AM RISING ABOVE!

    (re)GROWTH

    If you were falling, then I would catch you.
    You need a light, I'd find a match.
    Cause I love the way you say good morning.
    And you take me the way I am.

    If you are chilly, here take my sweater.
    Your head is aching, I'll make it better.
    Cause I love the way you call me baby.
    And you take me the way I am.

    I'd buy you Rogaine when you start losing all your hair.
    Sew on patches to all you tear.
    Cause I love you more than I could ever promise.
    And you take me the way I am.

    Talagang intentional ang pakabold ng mga linyang yan. Yung una, sisiguraduhin kong yan ang una sa list ng mga bibilhin ko pag sumweldo na ko ulit! Haha! Yung pangalawa, for real yan! Alang biro, pramis!

    33 months and counting...

    HAPPY MONTHSARY Baby!

    I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!

    Homophobia

    I am the boy who never finished high school, because I got called a fag everyday.

    I am the girl kicked out of her home because I confided in my mother that I am a lesbian.

    I am the prostitute working the streets because nobody will hire a transsexual woman.

    I am the sister who holds her gay brother tight through the painful, tear-filled nights.

    We are the parents who buried our daughter long before her time.

    I am the man who died alone in the hospital because they would not let my partner of twenty-seven years into the room.

    I am the foster child who wakes up with nightmares of being taken away from the two fathers who are the only loving family I have ever had. I wish they could adopt me.

    I am not one of the lucky ones. I killed myself just weeks before graduating high school. It was simply too much to bear.

    I am the man who fears that I will never be able to be myself, to be free of this secret because I won’t risk losing my family and friends.

    We are the couple who had the realtor hang up on us when she found out we wanted to rent a one-bedroom for two men.

    I am the person who never knows which bathroom I should use if I want to avoid getting the management called on me.

    I am the mother who is not allowed to even visit the children I bore, nursed, and raised. The court says I am an unfit mother because I now live with another woman.

    Iam the domestic-violence survivor who found the support system grow suddenly cold and distant when they found out my abusive partner is also a woman.

    I am the domestic-violence survivor who has no support system to turn to because I am male.

    I am the father who has never hugged his son because I grew up afraid to show affection to other men.

    I am the home-economics teacher who always wanted to teach gym until someone told me that only lesbians do that.

    I am the woman who died when the EMTs stopped treating me as soon as they realized I was transsexual.

    I am the person who feels guilty because I think I could be a much better person if I didnt have to always deal with society hating me.

    I am the man who stopped attending church, not because I don’t believe, but because they closed their doors to my kind.

    I am the person who has to hide what this world needs most, love.

    I am the person ashamed to tell my own friends I'm a lesbian, because they constantly make fun of them.

    I am the boy tied to a fence, beaten to a bloody pulp and left to die because two straight men wanted to “teach me a lesson”.
