I squinted an eye to adjust the camera lens better. As the opening parade started, I took multiple shots, not missing a single moment. I smiled when I saw how every people's eyes glisten every time they see a new float designed by each department.
Hindi lang ang mga float ang kinukuhanan ko, I make sure the crowd is also included. I like to capture the humanity in the moment, and everything that just feels particularly special. It is something a photography must contain.
I became a member of the newspaper publishing organization and I was assigned to cover the 46th Foundation Week's opening parade. That club is just my second choice. My first one didn't make it. The club that I wanted to be part of was gone.
The Chroniqué got dissolved...
Nang umalis si Neo ay siya namang pagdating ng mga pagbabago.
He's now working as a paralegal assistant at a big corporation next to our city. His father referred him. Minsan na lang siyang makausap dahil halata namang focus na siya sa buhay. Kung seryoso siya noon, mas seryoso na siya ngayon. He's now living his adult life and I wish him all the best.
Lemont is now in his second year. I heard he also joined the dance club so I might see him perform in some production number kapag may events katulad ngayon. He's really on his way to discover more about his passion. I'm so proud to know he's not afraid to take risk to do whatever his heart desires.
Callais is now one year away from graduation with his BSBA course. He got into singing and playing piano too. Nakikita ko sa IG stories niya na iyon ang ginagawa niyang pahinga kapag sobrang stressed out na siya.
I don't know with the other three—Ryusaki, Halvint and well, Greno. But I hope they are living a happy college life.
Ako naman, ginawa ko lang pampalipas oras ang photography noon pero ngayon ay natuto ko na talagang mahalin ito. It's fun to take pictures. It brings you different kind of peace and satisfaction.
Inangat ko ang camera at kukuha na dapat ng litrato kaso napatigil ako sa nakita. The lens perfectly captured Ryusaki's face who just passed by. Sinundan ko siya ng tingin gamit ang camera at saktong nakita ko rin si Halvint. Nagkasalubong silang dalawa, parehas pang nagmamadali kaya munting batian lang ang tanging ginawa nila sa isa't isa. Just a nod and a timid smile. Walang kulitan, hindi katulad dati.
Hindi na katulad ng dati...
"Init! Namamawis na singit ko, Riley!" Reklamo ng katabi kong todo punas ng pawis.
"Manahimik ka nga diyan, Jahiem. Pakialam ko sa singit mo." I unzipped my favorite jacket to let my body breathe. It was Jahiem's black bomber jacket that he gave to me last year. Medyo malaki 'to sa akin pero ayos lang, bumagay naman sa outfit ko—white crop top, tattered jeans and black sneakers.
