Obviously they are staring at the fish inside the aquarium. But wonderin’ what is this spot and where they at? Well, this is just one of the big box of glass filled with water, fish and other sea rockin’ animals you can find in this place!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Ladies and Gents, Children of all ages… Welcome to my Glass Prison Gallery!

Allow me to give you an aqua ride to the Pit of Fish inside the Hydro Cells of Manila Ocean Park! This state of the art, Oceanarium of the century is located behind the Quirino Grandstand Luneta, Manila. Just make sure to avail their Moonlight Adventure Package (your entrance for both Ocean Park and Maiden of the Sea) for only 500 bucks. Trust me, you get a lot than what you’ve paid for!

As for the state of the art hydro cells that I’ve been talkin’ to, check this stretched fish out!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Some of the glass used in the Aquariums and Oceanarium were more like a lens, giving you a 3D like effect, shallow and deeper view from your feet! Not a shooting friendly environment for a Shot n’ Roller like me. Hehehe!

Since I know nothing about fish and I’m too lazy to search about it, I’ll just give you the names on their Scientific Shot n’ Roll version. \m/

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Finding Nemo? Yeah he’s here, and doin’ the mosh! Joinin’ the circle of pit along with his yellow and white little brothers! \m/

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

A Clown Fish on his journey…

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Nemo takin’ a rest after the mosh!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Long legged freak! Yeah! This sea dominating crab lurks behind the boulders, waiting for a poor victim! Correct me if I’m wrong, but I think this one is called Spider Crab. Good thing this is not the one who bitten Spiderman, or else he will be called Spider Crab Man. Yeah, it sucks!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Longhorn Cowfish! I think it simply symbolizes this one. ( \m/ )

Holy cow and holy fish! This box type fish with white spots and kissable mouth is called Cowfish because of his horns that is more likely like a bull. That’s a fact!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

But on the other hand, which is the Shot n’ Roll version, I’ll gonna call this one Smackdown Fish! Why? Coz of their mouth which is always ready for love, and metal horns for ass-kickin’ other bully and bad-ass fish on the cell! No disrespect for a Rock n’ Roll icon KISS, but this one perfectly represents the name of the band. Hehehe! Rocks! \m/

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Fish on the Cryogenics? Hell Yeah! Let’s all welcome the new breed of creatures to be released on the cells to bring chaos and destruction! \m/

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Beautiful isn’t it? I’ll gonna call this one Bum Fish! I don’t know if he ever swims at all, but seeing him up close and personal, I think he’s just waiting for food to pass by him. Lazy boy he is! But I think this fish will look good if he’s smoking! \m/

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Stingray! One of the popular names in the sea world! This sea creature, animal and monster is stunningly beautiful on the way he swims. He’s like a butterfly on the ocean, a rose in your garden, and a poisonous thorn behind the beauty of every flower.

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Stingray on his way to the top. He’s other side is more likely like his face, than the face itself.

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Relaxing fish! Yeah that’s the name that I’ll give him. Relaxin’ on the shades of colorful corals, he’ll definitely look more cooler and more relaxin’ if we will put black shades on his eyes. Feel the summer babe! Oh yeah!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

- These 4 remaining shots right here is what I called Propeller Fish. Why? Coz having fins like a propeller does make sense. They are also one of the cool and interesting fish you’ll find here. The way they swim is uniquely amazing. Here’s the other type of his kind. Check this out!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Microphone-Shape Propeller Fish – This one will really steal the spotlights from the center stage. I think Jonathan Davis should customize a microphone like this, coz this one is a freak on a leash!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Stoned Propeller Fish – This is what will look like if a Propeller fish is stoned. No more hydro’s for this one!

Manila Ocean Park Oceanarium

Bully Propeller Fish – Yeah! He’s the bad-ass of all Propeller Fish! The bully and the black sheep of the family! His smashed tooth simply proves to anyone that he’s the real deal! \m/

- The End

Way of the Cross… A Passion and Photography, in observance of the holy week.
After visiting the two beautiful and interesting churches, we head our way to the 3rd church on the list.

Sta. Rita Church, Sta. Rita

3rd stop: Sta. Rita Church, Sta. Rita

St. Rita Church in Santa Rita – has a relic of St. Rita.  This relic has a piece of the saint’s body either a bone, a hair or lock of hair or a piece of flesh. Saint Rita’s relic in this church is from her flesh. Her intact and incorruptible body is kept in Cascia Italy.

Sta. Rita Church, Sta. Rita

Since I’ve failed to shot  the outside beauty of this church, let me show you the set of shots taken inside this church, in return. Here’s the top window of St. Rita Church.

After shooting from our 3rd destination, we proceed to the next and final church on the list.
Next Stop: San Agustin Church, Lubao

San Agustin Church, Lubao

San Agustin Church is one of the oldest churches in Pampanga. This is where the marriage of President Arroyo’s eldest son was held eight years ago. Other famous “Lubenians” include educator Alejandro Quiboloy, movie stars, Rogelio and Jaime dela Rosa, the movie director, Gregorio Fernandez, actor Rudy Fernandez.

After visiting the four historic churches in Pampanga, we had our way to Cutud to witness the reenactment of Christ’s Passion and Crucifiction.

Maleldo 2010

Maleldo 2010

Heading our way to where the cross stands is not an easy one. Under the extreme heat of the sun and long kilometer walk, these were just some of the factors that will put your body and patience to the test. (Not to mention the blood splattering from people whose taking Penitensya that walks with you)

Maleldo 2010

Maleldo – The famous San Pedro Cutud Lenten observance in this city, which has attracted thousands of spectators, including tourists from different country.

The Crucifiction… The moment and highlight of this event.

Center for Arts' Rock Stage

Since I miss out shootin’ the first band, let’s bring out the next metal performer…
Grace of Brutality! (say it with an attitude!)

Grace of Brutality

4 regular guys, bringing good thrash metal music that will get your asses up and join the pit! Make no mistake about it, this band will make your head bounce up and down! Though they have their own originals, their music is most likely like Slayer. Speed, aggression and attitude! That’s what they’re made of! Let’s give the horns for this great Pinoy Thrash Metal band right here! \m/ Yeah! \m/

Grace of Brutality

Grace of Brutality’s Vox and Guitar. Looks familiar? Well should I say, he’s the younger version of Tom Araya with a guitar instead of Bass! Yeah!

Grace of Brutality

Grace of Brutality’s Guitar on the solos… \m/

Grace of Brutality

Thrash rhythms, crushing solos and head-bangin’ blast beats will blow you’re assess of on your seats! Watch them live and see it for your self!
Thrash metal is back! And they are here to Defile!!! \m/

Our next performer, none other than Tubero!

Tubero

A blast beat, heavy riffs and crazy f**king lyrics makes Tubero second to none! Allow me to say this one, T*ng ina ang lulupit nyo! \m/
They’re live performance is one thing that you shouldn’t miss in your whole boring life, and as soon as they’re album(s) are out, go grab a copy, coz their music is worth buying for! \m/

Tubero

Tubero on their live stage act! Headbang, headbang and more headbang! \m/

Next song, para sa mga mahihilig kumain, matatakaw!
kain tae! kain lugaw!
kain tae! kain lugaw!

Tubero

Next song,para sa mga lasinggero dito!
lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing!
lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing!
lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing!
lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing lasing!

Looking for more aggression? Scream to the top and blast beat this post! \m/

1. Slayer – Top of the list! I’m damn sure most of you metalheads out there will agree!
2. Cannibal Corpse – Imagine their death metal music with a keyboard… F**k! Sentenced to Burn!
3. Lamb of God – Now they’ve got something to smash for!

Model Shoot Set #2

It’s really a pleasure to meet and shoot a beautiful, sexy, cool and humble model like her. She definitely Rocks! \m/

Model Shoot Set #2

Taking portraits on studio is a cool shooting experience. This is one place that you’ll definitely keep on shooting. A good spot for model and photographer to shoot, coz any pose or any position will give you a nice shot. This is the place where there is no bad shot, unless your cam settings is incorrect. Suggestion? Use a Light Meter to give you a proper exposure.

Here’s what the Light Meter says on our set:
ISO 100
f/8.0
1/125 sec
All shots are taken with Studio Flash, so these settings were used in the whole set. I’ve just increase the ISO to 200.

Missed something? Feeling sweet and casual? Switch to Part 1 of this post \m/
