Thy Quest Begins Here

If music be the food of love, play on, 

Give me excess of it that, surfeiting,

The appetite may sicken and so die.

That strain again, it had a dying fall.

Oh, it came o'er my ear like the sweet sound

That breathes upon a bank of violets,

Stealing and giving odour.

The Cool School

The sad truth is that The Cool School never existed. I even made a website for this but nothing happened. It didn't push through. It doesn't make me sad though. I don't even feel regretful about it. For the very first time, I will be sharing the free website I created using Microsoft Office Live. http://thecoolschool.web.officelive.com/default.aspx


Because of this, I thought of creating a new portal for my collection.

Meet Boredom

Boredom is the most resourceful thing that ever existed. I guess not everybody would agree but it's for you guys to figure out why.


Personally, I come up with strange yet creative ideas when I get bored. Even with the most unattractive subjects, photo enthusiasts like me and professional photographers, can create something beautiful out of them. That's another thing about photography that I love. It gives pleasure not only to yourself but also to others to see something you often take for granted come out perfect when photographed.


Boredom makes me more productive.

The Church and the State

I'm no saint and certainly not into politics but one cannot ignore the ever-growing competition between the Church and the State. Who's right and who's not? The State seems to have failed us. Does that mean the Church has to take over?

Make Reading a Habit

It's never too early to teach a child how to read. Save them from complete technological damnation before it's too late! Or buy them a Kindle instead.

S.O.L.O

This blog is a duplicate. Wondering why? I manage two blog sites. One is my personal blog and the other is work-related. WordPress makes me feel stupid so I prefer Blogger. That's also the reason why this is more updated than the other. However, I finally came up with the most brilliant idea that would surely keep me updating my WordPress account. Here's my first photo blog inspired by an article I found here.

Never mind the dust. These tourists seem to enjoy riding solo around Ho Chi Minh City.

Test Shoot with Popoy

Been reading too much about photography since 2011 started and yesterday I decided to buy another accessory for Laura. I was reading some articles on DPS when I saw this article. I immediately looked for a pop-up flash diffuser so I won't have to bring a speedlight with me when I travel and shoot outdoors. Below are some sample photos I took using Popoy, Laura's new accessory. I must say that Popoy will be Laura's forever partner.
