It's the time of the year once again...

A time where families and loved ones celebrate and cherish the moment when Jesus was born.

I am very lucky to be a part of a national culture that celebrates the longest Christmas celebration.
That's what's distinct about us Filipinos...:)

But more than the lavish decors and sumptous food,parties and gatherings,
Christmas is a time to reflect.Just what I always do...

When I was a kid, I envy families that are whole, and with a lot of food and gifts in their homes...
You see I grew up away from my real family, and everytime I hear the laughter of our neighbor's family, How wish it was me there too.

But eventually i got used to it. I told myself that instead of counting what I dont have, I count my blessings. Even as a kid, I always loved art and try hardest to be optimistic.

So, instead of wallowing in sadness, I celebrate what I have, like my talents,I make personally made cards that I designed...and my drawings and scribbles inside. I gave them to my friends and my loved ones...


I also like decorating our home. It's also an art to decorate you know.
I like the Christmassy feel.:). I also cook. so I prepare meals too that I share .

I also like giving gifts. Specially to the less fortunate. I learned early on in my life, that its not what YOU have ,but what YOU do with what YOU have...

and YOU can not equate PROSPERITY with the amount of money YOU have.
PROSPERITY is how YOU feel. There are a lot of people who may have billions of dollars but don't have peace of mind , and on the other hand there are people living SIMPLE lives, but have hearts that is overwhelming with gratitude.

With this blog, I am also giving YOU guys an early gift of wisdom. :)))

with that, I'd like to end this blog and thank YOU all who loves me.
All that I have in this world , I wouldn't have, if not for God and the people who trusted and believed in me. You give me Christmas, every day of the year. :)

i like this candid snapshot of me looking back at the photographer. it's haunting yet in some way beautiful.it really represents life, for we all can not totally forget, be it good or bad experiences..., but there are things we just need to leave behind. .. to grow... and one day you will look back and smile at the sad past . for it made you a better person you are now. -tami ballesteros

Darating ang araw sa sobrang lungkot mo, baka sumagi sa isip mo na tapusin mo na ang buhay mo..para wala ka na lang maramdamang sakit....

at iba iba dahilan ng pagdurusa nating mga tao, sa pag ibig, sa pera , sa pamilya, sa sarili...at kung anu anu pa....minsan pa nga jumajackpot ka pa, nagsasabay sabay.

nakakatakot ba sinabi ko?...wag ka matakot..nagpapakatotoo lang ako sa yo...kasi ang buhay ay hindi isang fairy tale na napapanood mo...di siya puro pasweet..at ang paghihirap sa iba ibang aspeto ay parte na nito, at dahil gusto ko rin na tumibay ka at ibahagi mga natutunan ko, kaya ko sinasabi yan...kasi isang araw baka gustohin mo na lang madali na lang matapos ang sakit..
at baka sumagi sa isip mo .... maghiganti sa mga nandehado sa iyo...o sana mamatay ka na lang...na naisip ko rin noon nung katangahan moments ko...

pero wag mo gawen yun...korni man sabihin kasi paulit ulit, habang me buhay, me pag asa
...kaya eto ako ngayon...buhay...humihinga...at ibinabahagi ko sa yo ang mga natutunan ko...
at eto ang mga yun:

araw araw, me problema...kahit habang sinusulat ko to ngayun andami ko pinoproblema...
pero so far, di ko pa naman hinahalo yung dora rat killer sa kape ko...

Look at things differently;Ang problema ay oportunidad, para umisip ka ng mga paraan at gamitin ang iyong talento at kakayanan para malampasan mo mga problema

..halimbawa, tulad ko, bayaran na naman ng kuryente, so magbebenta ako ng laman..joke...haha..i mean gagalingan ko sa pagiging photographer,graphic artist, events producer, blogger, etc etc.... ang totoo nyan, kaya ako lalo nagsusumikap galingan mga ginagawa ko dahil ito ang paraan ko para malampasan ko ang mga problema at win-win yun, kasi bayad na kuryente, mas gumaling pa ako sa talents ko....

Kahit sa problema sa pagibig, wag mo masyado sirain buhay mo dun,
kung mahal ka ng isang tao, di mo dapat pinoproblema yun at pilitin ang sarili...kasi ang totoong pagibig parang sariwang hangin...madaling hingahin.at di ka iiwan ....
...kapag puro hinanakit ang dala sa yo ng iyong relasyon...bakit di mo isipin baka may mali...
baka di sariwa ang nalalanghap mo...baka hindi tunay ang pag ibig...baka me lason...
at ang lason nakakamatay...

Nabaliw na rin ako sa pagibig...parang pagkabaliw ko minsan pano ako hahanap pambayad sa bills sa kuryente at iba pang bills...haha...
at di ko masisisi ang ibang tao na parang lukaret pag nilalayuan ng mahal nila...kasi nanggaling na ako dyan...ilang beses na....

pero eto lang yun...oo, nakakabaliw pag madadala ka sa takot,...akala mo magiisa ka na lang pag wala na yung pinakamamahal mo....pero di totoo yan ,...mabubuhay ka pa rin, di pa katapusan ng mundo pag nawalan ka ng kuryente, este, ng jowa....

Minsan baka kelanagan mo na muna kasi tigilan mga bagay na pinapaandar lang ng kuryente...
baka kelangan lumabas ka muna sandali at bigyan ng panahon tumingala para makita kung gano kaganda ang langit, pakinggan mo ang awit ng mga ibon, amuyin mo yun mga bulaklak makitawa sa mga bata...at higit sa lahat mahalin mo muli ang iyong sarili ...di naman sila nakasaksak sa electric outlet di ba? pero nakakapagpasaya..

...madalas kaya nawawala isang bagay kasi may ipapalit na masmaganda ang Diyos sa yo...
wag ka matakot..maniwala ka na may pag-asa...
di ka pinababayaan ng Diyos, kaya ka me hangin hinihinga ngayun at walang monthly bill for that.kasi maloloka ka kung me bayad yan........

imagine mo to:
friend1: o frend bakit ka parang nangingitim jan at di makahinga?
friend2: e kasi di ako nakabayad sa hangin bill ko, naputulan kami.


lolz.

so...wag ka na pakamatay dahil lang ng sa problema....at pag ibig. :)


and here is my art photographs for you all...
CRAZYLOVE

In this world ,YOU can never be too SANE.
it's a roller coaster ride...
that feeling that once made you feel so happy,
could be same reason that will trigger YOU
to be in the pit of that BITTER LONELINESS, so painful to take...
We can never judge someone who has loved and made crazy acts from it...
It just so happened we have different reactions
to the feeling called ...
BEAUTIFUL CRAZY LOVE.


++dedicated to the memory of the lovers killed in SM MALLS.++

I am an artist . I breathe ART...
There is a misconception that a photographer is automatically an artist.
NOPE. It's not true...photography is a medium just like a canvass to a painter and fabric to a fashion designer...Not all who photographs are artists and not all artists are photographers...

In my case I am both. I am an artist,and photography is my medium to express my art..hence I'm a photographer as well..combined with my knowledge in ART softwares I am a digital artist too...I also express art through my words, that is why YOU have a blog that YOU are reading now that tickles your imagination...:)

Here are a few of my works I did last JULY 2011 that I want to share to YOU all my dear readers.My model is Chantelle Jacobs, You'd be surprised to know that she is not a she, in fact she is a HE.He is a dead ringer for Naomi Campbell ain't she?he?haha.
I am also a model aside fromm being a visual artist&actor that's why I know alot about camera posing & projection too...:P

I did the styling for this to make him look like a top supermodel..:).Since fashion styling is also my medium of ART.

I have an upcoming OPEN PHOTOSHOOT called BGLAM PROJECT XIII "SIMPLY GORGEOUS" this coming AUGUST 20, 2011 @ THE room STUDIO , QC
where everyone is invited to join to experience my art photography.
For a very reasonable amount of PhP1200 you would get 4 artistic photographs made by yours truly, complete with professional hair and makeup & wardrobe styling, plus we will be giving away gifts and prizes over PhP200,000 in total to those who will join..
