In a few minutes, I'm out of my full-time job office for good.
I'm not sure if this is actually the best for me, but for one, my horoscope just told me the things I needed to hear today.
A temporary setback with regard to your career might have you feeling a bit disoriented right now, Aries. Modern equipment of some kind might be involved. Don't make yourself crazy; this is only temporary and will be straightened out. Your own determination, efficiency, and practical abilities should have it taken care of in no time. Basically, you're probably feeling quite optimistic for the future and not likely to change that energy any time soon.
Wasn't that encouraging? Oh well, GAMBARIMASU!
If we were capsules of a Ferris wheel,
then we'd always be apart
We'll be designed with different colors,
gaps of calculated distance
But we'll share she same essence
of bringing smiles to our passengers
adult or kids alike
Or just to those who like transporting themselves
to that distant memory of a child
inside a magical capsule
moving slowly upwards,
towards the sky
close to the stars,
the clouds
the sun
the birds
or something a pleasant afternoon breeze
make us believe
We'll keep the secrets and stories
shared inside the closed space;
of two seats opposite each other
we'll keep them close,
close enough to make us smile
or laugh
or cry, a little bit now
when we whisper, barely audible
close to our hearts
to send us back
timeless memories as friends.

So friends Rose Ann and Fei dragged my ass out of the house Saturday for a supposed-to-be La Mesa Eco Park adventure but then we ended up somewhere else---first.
A tricycle away from Philcoa is a humble abode of old, pre-owned, and perhaps even hard-to-find books called Bookay-Ukay. Not sure if this is the same store I'm following in Facebook for updates on interesting but cheap books. Not that I have ever purchased from the store, but they do shelter some intriguing, not-in-your-usual-bookshelf tittles. Classics and Pinoy literature were available as well. I haven't made a lot of research about the place but I'm pretty sure the store also promotes youthful, raw pinoy art both in print and visual.
I was not able to take a picture of the entire place but here are a few pieces of that cozy little store.
Recently I've taken an interest in film cameras. With the untimely demise of Kodak, I feel more compelled to support this old tradition of photography. So fancy it is to find a Bell+Howell BF-35mm plastic camera sold for a mere 200 pesos in the Bookay-Ukay shop. I guess the cool guys are also supporting my ideas on old means of photography? Since I wasn't very familiar with the unit (and the brand) I left it to my friend to purchase one. Since she's going to Singapore next month (for good), I did my part in encouraging her to have fun with the camera and give a few suggestions on which films to use.
I'm using Mao's Golden Half, a half-frame 35mm camera as of now so I'm pretty excited to see how my picture fared.
It's this thrill of wanting to know how your pictures turned out which we have lost in the digital age. After using manual cameras for a while (not that I'm any good so far, err) I realized I've lost half of my life's patience as digicams have given me the convenience of seeing results (or deleting them on a whim) in a flash (like, literally).
But I still want my own Split-Cam! It's called a schizo camera for reasons not that figurative. Google it.
Anyhow (why was I lecturing about cameras again?), I'm definitely coming again to this shop. Probably purchase a few books or take some friends there, too. (●´ω`●)ゞ
