Sometimes, it helps to get away from reality.

Nearly three years since I liked you guys....
So we did a couple of test shots to check on the appropriate lighting to use. While we were trying to figure out the best camera settings, he had me for his model. (He also is a photographer and he wants to assess which settings to use.)
We had a couple of random shots and this picture WON the "iLikey!" vote.
I don't care if my hair's a mess. Heck, I don't even fit the description of someone being "dressed down"!. However, I honestly like this, sans not being the prettiest. :-)
Neutral ground?

I am a Christian and the news pretty much concerns the Muslim community. I won't be saying much since this is a sensitive subject.
However, allow me to point out that each has a right to choose and express themselves. Apparently, the choice was made by a country who has claimed neutrality. And the expression was made clear.
Pardon, but please don't take this as an offense.
I'm just saying.
And it would prolly make more sense if I do it myself; but sometimes, writing something about yourself is harder than writing something about others. Big dilemma here.
(Oh...and incase you were wondering what's that all about --- I'm currently doing a mini-project. Which by the way, I'm hoping to be of big help in the long run.)
Sigh. I love weekends. In that note, I leave you one my my favorite songs:
What to do on a weekend?
(I've been following the gruesome news about a mass murder in Maguindanao** since yesterday. From what I've seen and heard, I'm totally appalled by the animalistic behavior of those people who are behind such massacre.)
Massacre toll could top 50—military

COTABATO CITY, Philippines — Authorities will resume the search Wednesday for more victims of a massacre that left at least 46 people dead, amid fears the death toll could top 50, the military said.
The mass killings of aides and relatives of a local politician in the southern Philippines, as well as journalists accompanying them, occurred on Monday in remote farming area on the volatile southern island of Mindanao.
"The search will continue in the general area today," the local military spokesman, Lieutenant Colonel Jonathan Ponce, told AFP.
"They say there could be more than 50 victims, but only 46 bodies have been recovered so we would be looking for more."
The bodies of at least 13 journalists and relatives of the local politician, Esmael Mangudadatu, were found buried in hastily dug mass graves or dumped on the side of the road in Maguindanao province.
The military said the main suspects in the abductions and murders were gunmen hired by the Maguindanao governor, Andal Ampatuan, and his son who has the same name.
Relatives of the victims and witnesses have said the powerful political clan wanted to stop Mangudadatu from challenging Ampatuan junior for the post of governor in next year's national elections.
The victims were seized as they were traveling in a convoy with Mangudadatu's wife as she went to an electoral office to register her husband to run for governor.
I try to comprehend why people would do such thing. I CAN'T. Why is it easy for some to take away other people's lives like a bully taking candy from some random kid at school?
All for what?
Money? Power? Family Honor (if you call MURDER an honor!)? Politics? Religion?
Bullshit.
