GOOD FRIDAY 2012: BLOOD AND CEMENT

April 6, 2012 | 4

Lately, I’ve been watching the TV series Spartacus a lot. I got to familiarize myself with Batiatus, Crixus, Doctore, flesh (literally and figuratively), blood, ludus, gladiators, Lucretia, slavery, trust, and loyalty.

STREET WATCH

February 9, 2012 | 10

It was one of my random-slash-boring afternoons when I thought of creating a post similar to what I wrote for our zine Kanto way back college—a collection of knock dead stuff about our culture. I then asked Bien to accompany me in strolling around the Tiger City. So I scribbled some notes, brought my trusty Botchog with me, hopped into his little motorbike and off we wandered!

I now present to you (some of) the streets of Mandaluyong City.

My photo group, The Click Freaks (TCF), wrapped up the month of April with a photo walk that we would hardly forget.

The group along with some friends and members of the photo club Photosynthesis meandered around the streets of Vitas in Tondo, Manila last April 30, 2011 with hopes of capturing scenes from the everyday lives of its residents especially the children who work at the Ulingan.
