It’s May 3rd of 2017,
past 7, winds blowing to my room, a small breeze fills it, the day has ended,
and the temperature still feels like 38 degrees. A once quiet room, shaken up
by noises from the tracks from the iPad from the other room, and music from
Fleetwood Mac, as the “The Chain”, plays on. Footsteps walking around, the
closing of a creaking door, snapping to lock. Passing cars by the main road can
be heard, as dogs continue to bark at it. The flood of light illuminates my room
from the nearby street lamp, and I pause, staring at this white page, wondering
what to type?
It’s been a long time since my
last entry to my blogs; it took me almost half a year, before I decided it’s
time to write again. Inspiration, or simply pure boredom, and a few cans of Dr.
Pepper in which convinced me, maybe it’s time to go back. I have been busy
everyone, with my social, work and personal life – I haven’t been attending
much conventions like I used to nor am I busy with the photo shoots that keep
my month booked to the last week. What kept me busy was working on the food
business with my chef – whom I am partnering to put up a Gastropub, A Surf Food
Shack, and Food Street – away from the creative hands and juices, or the
comforts of my camera. I needed the money and this will help me prepare my
studio. I have been also working with other photographers, agencies, sending
ideas, concepts, and the like, and produce events and mentor new breeds. Yes, I
accepted my fate as guru, in which my consulting services, is what I am open
to.

A lot has changed for me, I
recovered from another case of pneumonia, I have become much not much active as
I used to be, for the longest time, I no longer cough pools of blood, the very
thing that hindered me from being outgoing – I am thankful that I was nursed
back to health. On the side note, I got to travel much lately, I fortunate to
go to Baler, and learned to surf, I got to see Batangas again, and walked by its
pebble filled beach. I am learning to do videos, and hopefully by then when my
new equipment arrives, everything will follow.
My erratic brain has stopped functioning,
I pause this writing to check my phone, my body still feels tired, dehydrated
despite a cold can of soda is nearby, and the room is filled with the noises
from the games being played in the iPad from the room across me. I check my
phone searching for ideas, plans, or things to say… And there, I started with a
few words, a couple of sentences, pure randomness, hoping, a sheer hope that by
the end of this entry, it just makes sense.
