We're having our lunch together here in the office. We just ordered it outside. One of the filipinos will going back home for good and he is very close to my heart. During my first 2 years here in Malaysia, we stayed in one house and he was the one taking care of us. Good luck to him on his future plans. They call it "nasi ganja". #foodtrip
@Adbent in December 2021
After we worked overtime, my friend and officemate asked me to jave dinner with them as a celebration of her 10th year in the company. We went to a fushion of Pakistani and Malaysian cuisine. I ordered Naan cheese tarik extra. It's so chessy and yummy. And we ordered chicken tandoori also. I'm very thankful because I want to save money these days and everybody treat me food always. Soon, I can treat them also, hehe. As of writing this post, I am walking now to home. I just…
My officemate came out to our pantry and handed me with this food. She said that I need it because I look stress in teaching her with our new design system. I told her a while ago that I will not get angry if she cannot easily catch up of what I will going to teach if she will give me some food. But of course, I was only joking. I don't know if it's a good thing or not when she took it seriously, haha. She just said, her bread going to expire soon, also, haha. #foodtrip
Our newly-discovered place here in Malaysia. It's just a 20-minute drive from home. We discovered this nice place while we are joining a photo contest. Win or lose in the photo competition, I'm won already with the experience to visit and witnessed beautiful places. I love to take photographs both with people, nature and architecture subjects. I took this photo using tripod. #myphotomystory #hobbyistphotographer #photography #photooftheday
Before I left my room for work, I placed my bags and camera near on my laundry basket. And I realized that the text message on the basket is so relevant. It says, "believe in yourself and you will be unstoppable." Later after work, we will be having a 3-day trip for a pre-wedding pictorials. I'm a bit nervous and I hope I can do the job well. #myphotomystory #mobilephotography #BelieveInYourself
This photo was taken exactly 3 years ago from today. They hired me as their photographer during their engagement. And later, we will be going to travel to have a pre-wedding photoshoot. I'm excited and we have to shoot in three different locations. Wish me luck, guys. Happy lunch! #myphotomystory #malaysianphotographer #photographerlife
This was our first stop going to a very far village from home. We left the house at 8pm and we just arrived now at 2am. Gonna have some rest and wake-up early to start our photoshoot session in 3 different locations. Happy weekend everyone and take care! #myphotomystory #mobilephotography
We stayed here in the house of our photography client. I woke up early and had a walk outside. What a relaxing view away from the city. This is what I love in the province. Their house is in the middle of rice fields and you can hear the birds tweeting and the 'mooooo' of the cows. I don't want to go back home anymore, how I wish. Good morning lovely Noisers. Happy Saturday. I took these photos using my mobile phone and enhanced in Snapseed. #myphotomystory #mobilephotography
Just finished eating our lunch at the side of rice fields here in one of the province of Malaysia. My friend and my officemate's sister prepared all of this for us. We are staying here until tomorrow for a pre-wedding photoshoot of my officemate's niece. I really love here. Far from the city and stress free. What's your lunch, Noisers? #myphotomystory #foodphotography #foodtrip #malaysianfoods
This was our last location for the pre-wedding photoshoot. It was so relaxing seeing a beach with sunset again for the long time. We're living in the city and no nearest beaches there. After our photoshoot, I requested to have a break for my self and enjoyed the amazing moment. It's a wrap and we will be going back tomorrow morning. 📸samsungnote8 #myphotomystory #photography #beach #sunset
What a breathtaking view, right? I'm in love already with this place but sad to say, we are leaving now and back to reality. I just saw this kind of view in the books before but now, I'm thankful to be given an opportunity to travel new places. I took this photo just inside the car using my mobile phone while we caught by a traffic jam. #myphotomystory #mobilephotography #landscape
This is what inside in my tummy before we left the house. It's a simple dish yet so satisfying to eat. And now, we are looking for our lunch while we are on our way back home. My friend craving for a chicken rice and we are now queuing up. This must be a great lunch because it is a famous restaurant here in Ipoh Malaysia, since 1980. Gonna share some photos and reviews about it later. #myphotomystory #foodtrip
This was my last sunset photo in the province. Now, I'm back to the city and back to reality. Tomorrow is another busy day at work. Like the sun, it come and go but we humans even we have to keep going we cannot deny that we feel tired at times. It's okay to feel tired and stop for a while as long us you will never give up. #mobilephotography #sunsetphotography #photography
I fell asleep on our way back home to city, but when I woke-up, I saw this great view of the mountain with a cloud that has opening or like a big hole. I told myself, am I in heaven? Or the angels will go down and will take me (haha)? I grabbed my mobile phone and took a snap and then, I sleep again. Happy lazy Monday everyone! #myphotomystory #mobilephotography #photography
This saved my day. I only ate this during lunch time. They call it "dodol" here in Malaysia. Dodol is a sweet toffee-like sugar palm-based confection commonly found in Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent. In philippines, we call it "calamay". It has 3 different flavors: durian, original and pandan. I love the durian flavor. It's sticky yummy! #foodtrip #kalamay #asianfood
As I left home for work, this golden sunrise welcomed me to a brand new day. I'm wishing and hoping that this will spread good vibes and positivity not on me but for all of us. I'm not super busy today because we are advance on our work deadlines. I took these photos using my mobile phone before leaving the house and while travelling to office. #myphotomystory #sunrisephotography #riseandshine
I would like to flex my food today: steamed fish salmon. It's my favorite fish. Prepared by my nice housemate. He is really good in cooking and I am very thankful to him for taking care of us. Our motto in the house is that: the family that eats together grows bigger and fatter together, ahehe. #foodtrip #myphotomystory
While I'm going to time out at work, I saw this view outside the office. I hurriedly went out to take a photo. It was not filtered or edited. It's the magical and natural color of the sunset a while ago that I'm in love with. I don't know why my other officemates didn't care and didn't appreciate its beauty. Or maybe I'm the only one who was so vocal and so ignorant to take photos just in front of the office. #photography #sunsetphoto #mobilephotography
This is the view upon entering in the company early morning. It's 2 weeks again from the test and we to take covid19 testing again before entering the office. Thanks, God, it's negative. Being always safe and away from the virus is a good reason to give thanks always. Yes, there are a lot of problems we are facing each day, but being healthy and still breathing is a big miracle already. #photography #mobilephotography #myphotomystory
It's so funny because all of the left over food of my officemates will come to my table. I always say that Malay foods are so delicious that is why if they got extra, they can think of me and share some of their food. Now my tummy is bulging but still I'm thankful for their kindness and generosity. #foodtripofmyofficemates #foodtrip
A morning good vibes view in the province. And I am so positive that the travel of my mother-in-law and sister-in-law will will run smoothly. My wife is still recovering from a major operation and I want to surprise her with her mother because she is longing for the love and care. She and our daughter staying in my place and their province is very far. Yes, my mother and siblings taking good care of her but I know she needs her own mother this time. She still cannot move…
Kaniadto, natagamtaman na nako ang mga pagtamay ug pagtulisok sa uban. Bisaya daw ko, gahi ug inistoryahan ug ang akong Iningles kay kinarabaw. Tinood man pod. Apan bisan pa man sa ilang panghimaraot, wala nako sila balusi ug mga masakit nga pulong kundi naninguha ko nga molambo ang akong kinabuhi ug ang akong pagkatawo. Karon, trese na'ko katuig nga nagtrabaho diri sa langyaw. Ang kaniadtong gahi mo-istorya ug adunay Iningles nga kinarabaw, nakahimamat ug naka-istorya na ug…
I saw this photo in my hard drive. It's from my old phone that I am using when I'm working in Saudi. I had goosebumps upon seeing this because I had a lot of memories working there. I was assigned in a far away desert land in Saudi and it's isolated behind the big and high mountains. This was our 200 building projects and I have to check it one by one everyday. It's a school accomodation buildings. And that time, they started to develop the place already. It's really natural…
This is one of the teaser of my photoshoot last weekend. She's the bride-to-be. I tried to have a creative shot but I don't know if I nailed it, hehe. She was in a window of an old traditional house and I took the photo outside because it's prohibited inside. I'm thankful that they trusted me and thanks God for giving me photography clients. I really need it for the medical checkups of my wife. #Photography #prewedding #prenupphotoshoot
It's friday again! All these foods are free. My generous officemate placed some foods in the pantry for free. I'm in a tight budget now and I noticed that this month, there's a lot of free food and generous friends. It's truly a blessing from heaven. I ate this this lunch and ate already my breakfast for free also. Later, the guys who are praying in masjid will bring food also. #foodtrip #blessedandthankful #malaysianfood #freefood
Food trip for this afternoon. My housemate prepared this very crispy and and yummy foods. I was tempted to eat it with rice aside from the veggies. Gonna have some tea after this. Food trip all the way this weekend because we don't have an overtime work. I will clean the my room and house also to burn some fats and calories. #foodtrip #weekendfoodtrip
It's a gloomy day today but still the sun showed up. It reminds me that whatever you are going through there is still hope. There's that little light that will guide and light up your way. Don't just give up easily. Learn to wait and pray. Everything will be okay. Have a great saturday night lovely Noisers and friends. 📸fujifilmxt2 #photography #sunsetphotography
Don't grow too fast my Darling. She loves to pose on the camera but sometimes she don't like when she's not in the mood. I am really excited to photoshoot her. My wife took this photo using a mobile phone only. Everytime I have a toddler client, I always imagine and remember her. I can't wait to see her in person. Virus, please go away! #myphotomystory #photography
Our food trip for the rainy evening. Sinigang na buto-buto. I thought we will not having a heavy dinner but my housemate changed his mind due to heavy rain. While we are eating the rain dancing outside with a little thunder and lightning. The hot soup is just so perfect and super kilig to the bones! #foodtrip #sinigang
It rained today and I missed shooting in our backyard. So, I had a quick photo walk just a while ago. I already expected raindrops all over the place and this droplet on a fern leaf caught my attention. I struggled to take this photo because it was so hard to focus while shooting a droplet in macro plus the wind that keeps the leaf moving while I'm shooting. But, I think my patience pays off and I am satisfied with the result. Have a great Sunday evening lovely Noisers and…
I am enjoying doing this photobook for my client. I hope they will like it and hoping also that it will be delivered before their wedding day. Photobook Malaysia have a nice quality prints and I tried it already many times and most of all it is so affordable because they always got promotion. I'm so excited with the final output. #photography #photobook
Meet my little Miss Universe, striking a pose at our neighbor's fence. She watched today's live streaming of Miss Universe 2021 with her Mama. Then, after the show she asked her Mama to changed her dress and have a photoshoot outside just like a Miss Universe contestant. Until now, she didn't change that colorful dress because she liked it. #myphotomystory #mobilephotography #mylittlemissuniverse #missuniverse2021
Need to have a milo break here in the office because I felt hungry already. We will work overtime until 7:45pm. I got headache already for my very tight deadlines. I need to design two buildings within this week. Sometimes, I love being pressured at work but there are times that I am so lazy also. There are times that I cannot focus. So here I am taking a short break and making some Noise. I hope that my Boss is not a member here. #noisecash #workingmode #workaholic…
A rainy morning today. While on our way to office I checked my Canva contributor account and I'm so happy that my submitted photos and illustrations are approved. I hope that I can earn some extra money soon. Any canva contributor here? #canva #Photography #Illustrator
Before noon time until evening today, there's no internet connection in the office because there's a problem with the main line. At first, I thought my Boss cut my line because I always visit noise.cash. And here's my sunset shot at a building beside our office. Patience is a virtue. So, I patiently waited for the sun to its position in the photo. I lowered down the aperture and move my hand so that the rays will come out. #Photography #Sunset
A beautiful morning here but sad to say a bad morning weather there in my hometown in the Philippines. Our place is under signal no. 3 of the super typhoon. I'm praying for the safety of my family and all affected areas. I remember during 1990 super typhoon, we are all awake 24 hours. We ran to the kitchen, to the living room and to our underground. It was totally black out. But when we came out from our hiding place inside the house, we felt so happy because at last got…
The sun still come out and I can see it from my window. But I am worrying now because the super typhoon will landfall in our place later. And as of now, there's a strong winds and heavy rains. My wife and my daughter are so afraid because there's a lot of sounds happening outside. Trees are falling, roofs are banging. Please include all the affected areas in your prayers. #Photography #SunsetPhotography #MobilePhotography
I'm so sad because one part of the wall in our on going house consctruction was damaged and about to collapse. We just stopped last month because we had no budget but now after the typhoon, we need to fix it. That second photo was my relatives and neighbor's houses. It was being devastated. But still, I have to look on the brighter side of life. Still I am thankful because my family, friends and relatives are all safe. Sooner or later we can re-build our houses but our…
I'm so sad right now because I am missing my family back home. Since yesterday, I cannot contact them. There's no electricty and signal there now due to typhoon yesterday. I am worrying for my wife because she's just had her operation and for our 3-year old daughter. I know that my family will take care of them but I cannot help my self to feel sad and worry. I know everything will be okay. To make my self busy and to divert my sadness, here I am practicing some Adobe…
I woke-up early this morning because my Boss wants me to work overtime. But to our surprise, this is what happening right now in our area here in Malaysia: it's flooding and we cannot cross going to office. I thought it's just a normal rain last night until now. They closed all the main roads. We back-out and sleep again. The typhoon Rai (Odette) is out of the Philippines now and it's tail is affecting Malaysia also. #flood #naturaldisaster #supertyphoon #mobilephotography…
I took these photo last night after work inside the car of my officemate. Until now it's raining and all the major roads are not passable up to this moment. Quite boring all day and I just l lying in my bed. I just went down if it's time to eat. #raindrops #Photography #mobilephotography
Our lunch prepared by my housemate. I just want to eat and eat. I feel so bored and lonely because still I cannot contact my family back home. As what I read on the news, it will take weeks to restore the power and signal. Sometimes, by eating delicious foods, you will forget all the worries and sadness but I know that it's for a while. Still, prayer is the best weapon to all of these trials and challenges in life. #foodtrip #foodforthought
I just went outside in our backyard to kill my boredom. It's still flooding but I chose to have a photo walk. I'm not expecting to find something interesting due to bad weather but luckily this cute and little dragonfly greeted me. It's like he's saying " hey, cheer up, life is still beautiful!" I just received an email from our HR that the office will be closed tomorrow due to floods. #Photography #Nautrephotgraphy #macrophotography
Sharing with you this photo of mine of a fallen dried leaf in our backyard. It is still beautiful up close but as they say, "all good things must come to an end." Let us just enjoy and appreciate life. The weekend ended already and it's Monday but I cannot sleep. Luckily we don't have work tomorrow due to bad weather. Planning to have a photo walk tomorrow morning just around the neighborhood. #Photography #myphotomystory #NaturePhotography
The sun is out and the flood inside the neighborhood subsided already. But there are still villages that are flooded. I hope it will not rain for few days so that the clearing operation will continues. Strong winds in the Philippines and heavy rains in Malaysia, it greatly affects and leaves damages on the said countries. #photography #mobilephotography #typhoonodette #naturaldisaster
I miss my daughter so bad. It's been 4 days already that I wasn't able to videocall them. This picture was sent to me by my sister before the typhoon hit my place. They had a picnic just in the our backyard there in my hometown. The environment was so green but as of now it was being damaged by the typhoon. My daughter wearing white dress (from left) with her cousin bestfriend. They always go anywhere together and they are so sweet with each other. #photography…
I felt so bored a while ago so I went outside to buy some snacks at the supermarket. I wanted something sweet so I grabbed this limited kitkat gold. It's so yummy and it's my new favorite ice cream bar. It's getting hotter here now and I hope the water will completely subside so that we can cross tomorrow for work. #foodtrip #sweettooth
The photobook for my client has just arrived. So far, the quality is okay. I'm planning to order and make my own photobook for our family pictures. It's affordable and we can keep our treasured memories together. Way back in the Philippine, if I will make a prints for my client, I got a discount more than half of the regular price in a photo printing center because I am a registered Photographer. Yes, in my place, you cannot take photos in wedding, baptism, etc. if you are…
My housemate and the one who's driving our company car didn't work overtime so I asked a favor from my local workmate to have a ride with her. I let her dropped me at the guardhouse only because I don't want to disturb her more. And I love to walk also inside the neighborhood. I saw these tree with full of yellow flowers falling on the ground. You knew me already, as usual, I grabbed my mobile phone and took some quick snaps. It feels like in korea. #photography…
What I love about going to the mall is that they have this one area where they will make a nice design according to what season or celebration on that month. I love taking pictures of it. It is so colorful and grandiose. I went to the mall nearby to our accommodation and as always, they have this amazing design concept. It's obviously the Christmas season so I am expecting big Christmas trees. #Photography #Christmas
Can't sleep thinking my family. It's almost 1 week now that I wasn't able to contact them. I'll just keep my self busy by editing some of my photos. I prefer to chose flowers just to remind me that still, life is beautiful. I hope there's a good news before Christmas day. #myphotomystory #Photography #flowerphotography #lifeisbeautiful
Gocha! I worked overtime but still I was able to catch up the sun. I love its natural flare. As soon as I checked out, I quickly grabbed my mobile phone and took a photo. The company guards are looking at me, maybe they thought that I am taking them a picture. We are busy now here in the house, preparing our noche buena for Christmas. I hope that the company will declare halfday at work tomorrow. #Photography #mobilephotography #sunset
I suddenly remember last night that I have a go pro action camera when I saw one folder in my computer that named "go pro photos". I had a lot of photos there that I haven't seen yet after taking it before. But my big question, where is my go pro camera now? I forgot where I keep it. It's very small action camera. It's a go pro hero 4 silver model. Now, they have go pro 10 I think. This photo taken by my go pro hero 4 silver. I am trying to remember where I keep it.…
The company declared half day work today but unfortunately, I'm so busy, so I extended until 4:45pm and when I arrived home, this turkey is almost done. I grabbed my camera and took some photos while we are preparing. Inspite of what is happening, have a merry merry Christmas to all of us! #Photography #FoodPhotography #NocheBuena
While I'm looking at these photos that I took at a hill nearby to our house, I feel sad and lonely. Yes, it's Christmas and it's a blessed Christmas but I cannot deny myself that I am not happy. Still, I can't contact my family back home in the Philippines and it's driving me crazy. They said that the electricity will be restored in 1 month to 3 months from now and the TelCos still not 100% signal back most especially in our place which has the most affected in the typhoon.…
I am walking here outside as of the moment. I want to buy something at the supermarket. I saw this plant that has a big flowers with two different colors. I am familiar with these flowers because as what I have heard before, that if you planted it in front of your house then you will be single forever. I'm lucky that we don't have this at home (haha). #Photography #Flowerphotography #mobilephotography
Every time I had a walk in the neighborhood I always amazed with the light post with a colorful sky background. For me, its light is a symbol of hope amidst darkness. I took these photos using my samsung note and enhanced in Snapseed. Hava a blessed Sunday everyone. #photography #sunset #sunrise #mobilephotography #colorfulsky
I saw this teardrop from an angel in our backyard. It is very small and you have to come so close to see it. I shoot it using macro extension tube being attached to my lens. There are times that I cried without any reason. And there are times that I wanted to cry but no more tears. For me, crying is not a sign of weakness. We just need to let it flow and go, and after we wipe our tears, we have the courage to face the world again. #Photography #raindrop #naturephotography
Before 7am here, the sun will going to rise and it's my favorite time because you will be able to see its shape and the color of the sky is so majestic. After 7am, it will shine so bright and you cannot stare at it already. I took this photo beside the main entrance of the office when I'm about to have a self-test for covid19. I love how it reflects on the glass. Thanks God, the result is negative again. #Photography #sunrisephotography
Just arrived home from work. I took these photos while we are on our way back home. I love how those dark clouds gave a way to the sun to set. Right after sunset, the rain comes. How amazing, right? Life is really unpredictable. #photography #mobilephotography #sunsetphoto
Breakfast and lunch for today: chicken and salmon fish. Prepared by my housemate. The tastes are good but sadly I have no much appetite these days. Still missing my family back home and 11 days have passed, without any contact or communication with them. I don't know if they eat good food or have water to drink. I saw on social media, they didn't fix yet the power supply in our area. #foodtrip #lonelyfoodtrip
I took this photo of wildflowers in the wilds. I love to walk here and take photos at the same time alone. Sometimes I'm afraid to get lost here but there are times that I have the courage to hike it alone for hours. In life, we get lost sometimes and we don't know where to go and what direction is the right one for us. But taking risks in life might be challenging also. If you failed, don't give up. You may try once again. #Photography #naturephotography #flower
I know that the focus is on the leaves and not on the flowers. At the time when I took the photo, the bee is coming to me so I hurriedly took a snap. It's okay. In life, sometimes we cannot focus if we are afraid or worrying about something. But when we try to relax, our minds will be enlightened. Sometimes, all we need to do is to take a deep breath and believe that everything will be alright. Have a great evening everyone! #Photography #flower
I'm so happy today because at last my wife was able to send me a message that they are all okay there. She sent me latest pictures of our daughter who had a DIY photoshoot at the beach nearby with a mermaid theme for her upcoming 4th birthday. I can sleep well now knowing that they are okay after the typhoon and thanks God for the guidance and protection of my family. #feelingthankful #familylove #daughter #LDR #mobilephotography #photography #littlemermaid
Her pre-birthday photoshoot with Mama was taken at our neighbor's house gate. My wife used her old mobile phone to take these photos and I am the one who edited it. My photographer friend was supposed to take a photo of her but unfortunately, the typhoon came and until now there is no electricity in our area. So, my wife just did a DIY photoshoot with her. I don't care about the quality of the photos but I treasured these wonderful memories of our daughter. #Photography…
I think it will be a rainy new year here. It's raining here now and the whole neighborhood are so silent. Malaysian government declared the cancellation of new year celebration nationwide and fireworks/firecrackers are strictly prohibited. They came up with the decision after the flood that affects their citizens. We are still cooking here and preparing some food to eat for the media noche later. Happy new year my dear lovely Noisers. Thank you for all the love and support.…
