Now to motivate myself and to release that inner desire to shoot some nice photos, i will start to post on a weekly basis (i really hope that) some of the pics that i have taken that week.

To start off, here’s satwa at night from the rooftop of my villa:

Special thanks to Darwin Guevarra (my mentor and friend) and for letting me borrow the sb-800 again :D

To Russel & Diane, thanks for the opportunity….although it was a very tiring day, it was a pleasure taking your pictures. :)

Hope you guys like it…

It was real fun watching Eat Bulaga again, live in Dubai! Last time i watched them live was like in 2002 when they were in Baguio for Panagbenga Festival. Anyway they made alot of our kababayans happy that night. :D  

It sure have been more fun if i were able to have a picture with TVJ and the other cast, specially with Lian & Belle of EB Babes….bummer :-(

To my dabarkads in Dubai, more pics here: http://www.joelfrancisco.net/pics/EB%20-%20Dubai/index.html

Since i am testing SimpleViewer from AirtightInteractive (flash image viewer pretty cool indeed!) to show some pictures i have and put that simpleviewere control as a blog entry. After a few hours, i figured out my stupidity why its not running earlier, when i should have figured that for only 10 minutes. Sheesh, programming skills are getting rustier by the day. hehe…i hope not…Anyway check it out :-)

SimpleViewer requires JavaScript and the Flash Player. Get Flash.
