SOS Heart

The coffee cooled while I stare at the empty room thinking about the universe - how it all began, how it connects one thing to everything, how the stars place themselves at such a definite location that their light reaches my windowsill at the right moment in this time of my life. The blinding light of my desktop computer shined so brightly against my dark room for a long time that I never realized the time flying until I heard the faint ticking sound of my watch as it neared 3:00AM. I have been in these crossroads many times over, but this time it's because of you. Our breakup was clean, efficient, surgically perfect one might add. We remained friends and we have been through ups and downs, dramas and endings. It has been years now but still. You remained the single man that you are. I am happy - or I thought I was until I started seeing you change. It irked me at first, seeing you yearn for me when I cannot give more than friendship. I wanted so much for you to move on, get on with your life, to grow up.

These past few weeks I started noticing change. My heart is tearing piece by piece with every photo, every post, every new memory you have with her. I know this is all my fault that I pushed you away. It is all that I could do after what has happened. Even though I could not imagine myself without you I believed with all my heart that we don't have a future at all. But hell! This is the reason why I kept our friendship going on. I cannot break away from you - my soulmate. We had so much together. But then I noticed that the more I hold on to you, the more I hurt you and the more my heart tears apart as I think about my future.

The golden glow of the moonlight cannot fully wash my thoughts away. My coffee grew colder. The starlight faded but my heart remains in pain. I am with guilt and my mind is raging against every rightful thought I have to remain sane. Time is running out for me. Should I call everything quits? Should I let you go and be happy with her? Will I learn to love the person I will chose over you? I am seriously considering the option of staying away from you to protect myself, to protect my heart from waves of pain. I am afraid.

How could I get over the fact that I am feeling the pangs of jealousy with anyone - especially her - that goes near you? I am dying and no one can save me, no one. I am trapped. I am in love and has always been - but now I realized it has always been you. You are mine and I am yours - for always. That was our promise.

Muccio di Bella

There are only a few things in life that captivates both the senses of sight and taste. Now, I am not so much of a pastry addict. I bake, yes, and it is one of those things I do that fires me up. However, let me bring you to Mucchio di Bella, where art and pastry goodness meet.

An art studio turned pastry&arts shop, it houses teeth locking chocolatey goodness of beautiful paintings and pastry what-not magically made by Doc Nanette & Doc Iko Catigbe. Being classmates for a short while in a pastry course, even then I already noticed the harmonious partnership they share that is rare in couples these days.


If you have tasted my own cooking and that you like it, turn off your biases and allow your palates to be imprisoned in their fantasy-made-real kind of baking and art. It is classy and elegant yet very accommodating at the same time. Forgive my poorly taken photos (I do think I didn't do justice to Doc Nanette's talent here) but I do think you will get the idea of what you are getting into.

I could glut myself (and yes I did) with the pastries that they created and cannot stop myself from snapping at every turn of every corner because of all the art that is dripping down the walls. Check these photos out!

pretty cool, huh?!

impressive!

Antique Colt

There was once in my life when I actually favored guns than dressing up and playing girly stuffs. Oh, wait, no. It was not just once. Anyway, I am blessed to have come across one amazing "artifact/antique/whatever-you-call-it kind of gun that has survived two world wars" : the Colt M1903 or the Colt 1903 Hammerless .32 Semi-Auto Pistol.

I am not much of a gun enthusiast, I can only tell the barrel from the magazine and bullets but that's pretty much it. However, the sheer beauty and something not sort of elegant about this gun makes me feel like I know history.

I mean, hello? If you have got to be holding a gun that has been manufactured or created during a time where even your grand dad is not yet born, do you not feel something eerie?

Check this out :

Checked online and the highest price for this antique baby is $2 998USD!

You want to check what's inside it? Here:

SWEEEEEET!

Wait, there's more! I think the gun I came across just needs proper cleaning and oiling and it can be used at firing ranges again. I bet that gun kind of wish for that day to come as well!

Do you have an antique gun as well?

2 Inch or Less

So~
I got some cutesy stuffs going on and I really want to share with you the outcome of my outtakes. So I have a cat, an iPhone and an external lens like this :

Here are my awesome awesome (I know I said that!) takes ^_^ :

And, I did not stop with my "cam-whored" cat. Here are some other stuff I took :

Syringe, you think?

ikkk! Dirty 10-peso coin

Bottom line :
I am beginning to like my phone more. Yes. Any comments? No? OKAY!
LoL

Close-up Shots

I've been checking out some cool stuff online to optimize my phone's camera and I this get some nice apps. However, I was one of those unfortunate people that received a "defective" iPhone in the sense that at my first use of the device, the autofocus feature is not functioning. You don't get my drift? It's when I use the phone to shoot close objects, this is what i get : ANNOYING BLURRED PHOTOS

(Store said to wait one - yeah ONE - month for the replacement so I didn't return it yet as I'm mad.) One time, in my office I was syncing the phone to my iTunes when I accidentally hit the wire. The phone rocketed to the keyboard and hit it hard near the lenses. You know, I've read about the same issue online and some people suggested to hit the phone with something hard to get the autofocus right. I still think it's ridiculous! But then, when I used the camera after about 2 days (wasn't using the cam because of its "wrongness" and I was still hurt by the store's utter neglect) I noticed that the cam focused. I tried again and this is what I took :


Amazing! Haha

Panorama Photos

I just updated my iPhone to iOS6 and for the first 24 hours of using it, I can say that it's great but that a lot of apps, especially my apps for photography are not working perfectly as of the moment. 

However, I have been searching for a nice app that's free or priced low that offers great fish eye photos or panoramas. Here are some of the photos I got using 2 different apps :

Taken from 360Panorama (paid app)

App used is Pixeet 360 - Ilove the fisheye feature :)
