Just only realized that there are about 6 Dunkin Donuts within walkable distance from my apartment. I am currently sitting in one while waiting for the rain to calm down and I love hearing people order. MISS DALAWANG BARBARIAN NGA DIYAN
THIS IS YOUR SIGN TO GET THAT MASTER’S DEGREE ABROAD ✈️
For those who are already living the dream: What should one consider before pursuing graduate studies in another country?

files a resolution for the Senate to "strongly condemn" the harassment, red-tagging, and intimidation of private community pantry organizers, especially by gov't officials and authorities |

You know what sucks? We’re being robbed of brilliant minds every single day. My friend just lost 2 batch mates who would have become great urban planners to COVID, and one of the most important people in Philippine coffee is planning to go back home because of the response here
Just saw current prices of film in the Philippines and I’m floored. 4-5 rolls of the cheapest film is a full tank of gas.
Anyway… here are a few frames that live on my website that were shot on film and all on a Mamiya 7ii with a 80mm f4
CSA has always been breeding ground for racist behavior. Even teachers were racist and to be honest a lot of my current hang ups are because of this sorry excuse of a an educational institution.
I’ll never forget the time I marched at a Gabriela rally with an oust duterte armband only to be shouted at by an elderly (DDS) man, “YOURE NOT EVEN FILIPINO, STUPID”
Watch me.
When I retire, I want to run a small cafe that serves mediocre coffee and amazing kakanin. I want the place to be cozy and comfy and people can stay for as long as they want.
Can my friends on twitter please help me report Biohacking Philippines, a Facebook group, for spreading disinformation about vaccines and ivermectin treatment as alternative. Their platform is too big to ignore. Thanks.
Dear people and companies who “champion local creatives” : sana naman you can also champion money transfers cause there’s no way I’m spending the entire day driving to your office to pick up a cheque between 1-2PM on a Friday when I should probably be working
I’m watching the DOT receive flak over using stock footage from other countries. Agencies have always been top heavy and when all the whales are fed the production budget is only ever good enough to purchase stock or hire interns. Fuck you all.
My brain cant process going from “lets hit the ground running in the new year and get creative and produce work and get new clients” to “where is work?” And “I hope my friends and family are safe” and “why do I feel useless” at least 300 times a day
Closer to home now.
A friend is ill after drinking Cosmic Carabao Gin.
PSA : do NOT drink this gin. If you go to a bar and see this on their shelves - ASK THEM TO TAKE IT DOWN.
James Dea/kin with his trademark on the fence about everything just do your best nalang narrative. Yes lets just keep to ourselves and not ask for accountability. Diesel is a hell of a drug.
I hate how some of my favorite restaurants are closing down yet korean bbq places operating at 100% indoor seating capacity are allowed to operate in BGC :(
It’s humiliating enough to be paid such low editorials rates so the least you can do, existing editorial outlets in Manila, is to transfer our payments directly so we don’t have to sit in traffic while you enjoy your dinner parties. Thank you.
As a freelancer, it’s always a gamble raising prices. I did exactly that this month and I’ve gotten a lot less people working with me. I’ve had really restful sleep the past couple of nights not thinking about copying someone’s pinterest board for bar money.
Stop glorifying long shoot days. It’s not cool to work 16-20 hours with no sleep. It’s also not cool to hop between 3 shoots in one day. Stop glorifying exploitation and poor work practices tysm :)
This pandemic has be so detrimental to my mental and physical health. It’s also killing my relationship with my parents and my partner. I don't know what to do with myself anymore and I don't know where to fit in. Why can’t this just end please?
Not invalidating what Maria has done in the past but this tweet sounds like she cares more about “bullying” than genocide and brand building with that hashtag.
#JustWokeUp
This was a quote from
@nytimes
about bringing down toxicity online. When you include it in your bullying campaign, you prove its point - it says more about you than me.
#CourageON
Today’s front page had a photo and story about this one dude from Baguio who demonstrated a flying car. Idk why people think flying cars are the future maybe idk a road where I can fucking walk on would be better? Just a thought
@rowheyourboat
Actually you guys are in the wrong. That’s their living room and guest bath area. Sometimes if you pass by at the right time you can catch them brushing their teeth or having meryenda maskless as people walk by. Its not a bike lane!
I can’t help but feel it’s lazy and almost sad that our leading theory is that the mayor is a 🇨🇳 spy. There are so many possible explanations for her line of reasoning and thought and it’s exciting to think about the degree of just how fucked up this might all be.
I used to take portraits once upon a time. I’m not sure how or when I started shooting mostly food but I miss taking photos of people. I hope I can work my way back to this.
@saientific
Higher pay for creatives means a collective effort to say no to unfair fees. I’ve stopped taking on work below my minimum only to find contemporaries agreeing to the rates. Its a group effort and nothing will change unless we all say tama na.
LF : Manila based editorial photographer for a coffee crawl assignment. Should be a day long only, 4-5 cafes and all within Manila. Lots of coffee c/o the title.
Advertising agencies really want you to pencil book 8 days for them, present a feasibility deck, and show treatment boards without signing and agreeing on rates. Stop this shit. 2022 na.
