13/52 A Day in The Life

For my 13th entry, I'll post this picture that I took during my 4 day vacation in Camarines Sur.

These boatmen know nothing more but serve people who would need to travel by water. Even through the roughest waves, these guys would really go around the boat barefooted trying to keep the whole thing stable.

They'll lean on the beams to counter waves and do everything else to keep your trip memorable.

To them I give this salute... may you be blessed with more tourists to serve.

11-52 Shifting Control

11-52 Shifting Control, originally uploaded by marcogol.

This shot was inspired by one of my Flickr Contacts, Paul.

And since this was basically this weeks trend in my walk in life, why not pay a tribute about it.

For the past months (probably this whole year) it has been nothing but a wild goose chase for my 'own' desires. And during these chase I've forgotten who I am and who I was designed to be.

I've mixed my own will and flexed my own muscles after these 'wants' and that lead me to compromise even the very standards that defined me of who I am as a follower of Christ.

It lead me to nothing but emptiness and being numb to the point that I begged for a feeling from none other but Him.

From there on then... I've relinquished control of my life and set aside my desires of my own.

Used to be the commander-in-chief of my pimp ship flying high.

Everything that I am is surrendered and control over this life is no longer mine. I decided right there and then that I'd trust Him more and let Him work on me for the betterment of me, and the people around me.

With that... here's my 11th entry of my Project 52 for 2010...

This is a picture I took during my niece's birthday last year.

I forgot to take one during the weekend because I kinda left the camera here in the condo.

Anyway I just saw this while I was browsing for pictures and kinda liked it so here's the delayed 10th entry for my project 52.

This morning I just took my camera out inside my room to test check the batteries out for my nephews baptism later.

I saw my phone and iPod sitting right next to my laptop and decided to just take a shot at em.

Here's a tribute to the stuff that helps me get through work and workouts.

Here's to the tripod of DJ Gadgetry.

7-52 What Lies Behind

My brother just celebrated his birthday lately. He just turned 34 and I can't even start telling what he's gone through.

So for him I dedicate this photo.

We all have our baggages, our pasts, and basically our lives behind us. What can we do with it? We can't carry it all our lives, we can only look back at it, learn and prepare for what lies ahead.

For my 7th week, here's my photo entitled: What lies behind

6/52: The New Workout Plan

Summer is rushing in. 25th year of existence is also a month away. It's about time to make some changes.

For the past few weeks I've been religiously following up my workout plan and It's been working out well as of late. My clothes are starting to wear me, and I'm already having a hard time selecting what clothes to wear for either work or casual night outs.

With that effort, I dedicate this week for that. I took several shots of my trusty weights here at home that would help me sculpt this new body that I'm sporting.

5/52 Light

5-52 Light, originally uploaded by marcogol.

This has been the topic of my Bible study group for the past few weeks. Discussing about the Light that would penetrate through darkness.

Matthew 6:22-23 (ESV)
"The eye is the lamp of the body. So, if your eye is healthy, your whole body will be full of light, but if your eye is bad, your whole body will be full of darkness. If then the light in you is darkness, how great is the darkness!

Having this said, if our eyes are filled up with Light, then we'll know the cobwebs that we need to brush aside our lives. We can now see what darkness couldn't reveal.

God Bless you guys.

4/52: Today in History

My brother assembled these guys way back. He has this little WWII diorama on his shelf so I decided to shoot em shooting at each other.

Hope you like the 4th installment of my Project 52.

3-52: Weapon of Choice

3-52: Weapon of Choice, originally uploaded by marcogol.

There are times that you just have that "something to do" during days that you're feeling down.

Here's my weapon of choice. My guitar.

This is one of my usual ways to spend lull times at home. When the Internet is busted and not really cooperating with you.

So I caved in. I got myself a Moleskine journal.

I figured that I might need something handy to write down the out of the norm rhymes and whimsical reasons.

Figured that I would log this down as the 2nd part of my Project 52.

How was your new years guys? Hope everything went well.
As for me, I'm opening it out with a new set of resolutions and another project to keep me busy throughout the year.

After a failed attempt of a project 365 last year... I'll try it again at the start of this year. But instead of 1 picture a day... I'll do it 1 picture a week.

So here's my first entry for my new project.

This is a not so awesome picture from Tagaytay. If the Moon was just visible from where we were I wouldve taken something from that.

Anyway here's to an awesome year ahead! cheers *clink*
