Woke up early to rock ‘n roll

Isang sabado sa kanila Lolo at Lola

Wondering where he is, with Lola Fe, Lolo, and Lola Madre at the background.

May pinuntahan si Lola Bing kaya si Lolo Mon lang ang aming inabutan. Together with Lola Fe and Lola Madre, isinama namin si Elian sa bahay nila Lola Bing at Lolo Mon. Gising siya papunta doon pero inantok sa biyahe kaya tulog pagdating sa bahay.

My Bath Tub

"Tubeeg!"

These photos were taken while we were still in Bicol during the Holy Week. Just like most of the pictures in Elian’s photoblog, yung Canon 400D ni Lolo ang aking gamit. Sa shoot na ito, isinet ko ang mode sa shutter priority at tinimpla ang kumbinasyon ng shutter speed at flash para macapture ang tubig na nilalaro ni Elian. These pictures were taken with a faster shutter speed setting and increased flash range.

Luckily, umandar ang camera at ‘di nagparamdam ang perpetual Error 99. Hehe!

Makabayan!

Makabayan!

Noong thursday, April 16, 2009, dumalo kami ni Elian sa launching ng Makabayan sa Bahay ng Alumni, UP Diliman. Para sa samu’t saring impormasyon tungkol sa launching ng makabayang koalisyon, browse nyo po ang mga litrato, balita, at iba pang teksto na kinalap ng Arkibong Bayan.

Heto ang ilan sa mga litrato ni Elian sa assembly.
