Hey Emji

I have captured the sunrise on the same spot. Notice how far the sun have moved. "There's a sunrise and a sunset every single day, and they're absolutely free. Don't miss so many of them." – Jo Walton A photo posted by Emilio Jimenez II (@emljmnz) on Apr 17, 2016 at 4:07pm PDT

Once upon a time --- no, just yesterday --- I and some of my Sinukuan Gazette buddies decided to take a hop to Holy Angel University in Angeles City to see  Biyaheng Panulat . Okay, I have to admit that I had no idea of what we're up to. My co-staffers told me names, but honestly, I wasn't familiar with any of them except Manix Abrera (whom I thought was a cartoonist for a broadsheet, and boy I was right). Note that I have no intentions of mocking these award-winning authors; it's just that I wasn't a fan of reading books (but not until I heard them speak). While everyone seemed to be really excited, as if waiting for celebrities, I was just slouchy sitting, thinking what could happen next, like what's-in-it-for-me. 

This ain't really a make-up transformation per se since I didn't apply any cosmetics, but it'll work I guess. Haha. #MAKEUPTRANSFORMATION Post by Emilio Jimenez II .

The newest members of our school's official publication were recently announced and I was ecstatic to find my name on the list. This feeling was like the same when I got hired on my first job. And so we were met with other writers, both new and old, and I was so excited to start working with the other interesting faces. Our editor-in-chief gave us our first assignments and these have to be submitted on or before the end of the month. I was tasked to write news about another institute that I don't belong to. I thought it was easy and that the time frame given was more than enough. I was so confident that I can beat the deadline. However, I'm not inclined to writing news and they [senior staffers] know that. Then came the chance for me to write a news about the institute I was assigned.

It is but cliche to tell you that a picture paints a thousand words. So 10 pictures would be tens of thousands of words. That'd be awesome then, because I wouldn't have to think words to write on my next blog post. I'm into mobile photography these days, or the what I so-call sasa photography . "Sasa" is a term that we use to define sort being aspirant, or something that you are trying to be good at, or something you think you're good at but not quite sure (I think the last one describes it best.) You can use it by simply prefixing it to a noun or an adjective. You can say   " sasa- basketball player" to you friend who thinks he's knows how to play that sport, or " sasa- doctor" to someone who advises you what medication to take even if that person isn't really a doctor. So, although I'm calling myself a sasa- photographer, I'm still getting positive feedback from my friends. Here are a few of my shots, which you can vie...
