Tonight, Allow Me to Teach You the Meaning of Forever
Categories: Free Writing

that night, the moon was blotted with that of a clear unclouded sky…

…the likes of which i had never seen.

Although, I was handed a DSLR on new year’s eve, I wasn’t able to capture a nice shot of the moon. Should I blame Canon 450? Well, now it does make sense, because on my sound blog, I thought that the moon has a light of its own.

First and third photo by  Jayr using Nikon DSLR. Third photo uses 6-sec spot-metering. Last photo by Muffie Shannen using pure talent. Second photo by me using my greatest sheer luck which was not.

    Me loves 3rd photo. Very poetic ang dating. :D

    • Ax says:

      3rd photo by Jayr. Mahirap din pala magpicture kung wala kang tamang tools, i mean lenses. meron pang malayuan, pang malapitan, pang fish eye..

      at meron sa ilalim ng tubig?! hehe. at meron pangkuha ng ghost. wah?

  3. Ax says:

    To Father Fiel: Click this.

    Yay, literal na putukan po yan ng sinturon ni hudas noong new year. Hehe.

  4. taga-bundok says:

    Yes! Mejo nasa taas ako at hindi malulunod sa comments.

    First off, happy new year!
    Wow, Canonites! Haha!

    Ganda ng mga shots. How i wish magawa ko rin.

    Anyway, naka-mobile ako ngayon… Unang tingin ko sa first photo… Mata, as if it was looking at me.

    • Ax says:

      Oo nga! Pero, unti lang naman commenters ko!

      Sa’yo din, happy new year! Hehe, hindi sa akin yung canon na gamit ko. Naglabasan nga mga kapitbahay ko ng camera, ang gaganda. Nakakatuwa.

      Ah, sabi ko sa soundblog ko, yung buwan parang mata.. although the pupil is white. Hehe.

  5. J.Kulisap says:

  8. topexpress says:

    wow! nice shots though!

    wala sa camera yan tol, basta praktis lang ng praktis ng shots! para mahasa ka!

    happy 2010 AX

  9. orville says:

    bilog ang buwan… napansin u ba kailan lang na kulay pula ang buwan sa madaling araw?

  10. Hmmm… Good pictures of the moon would usually require close-ups using 600mm lenses… And exposure times should be less than 1 sec, otherwise the moon would be blurred…

    Nevertheless, the third shot is good… :)

    • Ax says:

      600mm lens. Wala na palang silbi tong cellphone/recorder ko. Haha.

      Crown nga di ako makagawa. Waah, wala pa pala ako tools.

      True, laging blurred ang moon pag yun ang ginagawa ko. Kase naman di ko alam mag settings. Hehe.

  11. Mon says:

    hoy din sayo Ax, hehe

  12. i remember new year 2007. noong christmas 2006 ay umuwi ako sa davao, at ang pag-uwi ko ng manila ay tinapat ko sa december 31, 8 pm.

    dumating ako ng naia around 10 pm. omg! wala na akong masakyang taksi. naglakad na lang ako from naia to baclaran. doon ako inabot ng new year. kitang kita ko ung fireworks, mga putukan. lol. kitang kita ko sa daan ang mga cockroaches na nagtatakbuhan. natakot din sila. hahahaha.

    madaling araw na ako nakakuha ng taxi. hehehe. unforgettable talaga un.

  19. Dorm Boy says:

    Buti pa kau me DSLR na! Gusto ko na rin makapagpicture using DLSR.

    New Moon ba toh? hehhe! o Once in a blue moon ng January? hehehee!

    • Ax says:

      Haha, wala pa akong DSLR. Gustong gusto ko na rin talaga magka DSLR. Hehe.

      Oo, New Moon to nila Bella at Edward. Pwede ring Bagong Buwan ni Cesar Montano.

      Kaso, naiisip ko na Once in a Blue Moon lang to nila Mark Herras at Jennilyn Mercado.

      Aw, Full Moon pala to.

  20. bipolarsisa says:

    nice. :)

    isa sa pangarap kong gawin eh tumingin sa kalangitan kapag gabi na..kaya lang natatakot ako sa posible kong makita. tsk.

    isang araw, pag nakakuha nako ng lakas ng loob, baka magawa ko na.

  21. etchosera says:

    wow ang gaganda ng pictures…love it

  22. siyetehan says:

    frustrated photographer ako. problem is, i have to conted myself using a canon digicam for now.

    hopefully ay makabili din ako ng professional camera in the near future.

    • Ax says:

      Oks lang yan, ako wala pa ring DSLR, pero sana makabili rin ako bago ako mag 50 years old. Yay. Why not dalawa natin mabili yung pangarap nating DSLR?

      Kahit hindi sabay, pero matupad lang!

      Siguro magaling ka na kumuha ng pictures. Ako kase, wala talagang digicam. Hoho.

  23. bluguy says:

  24. mr. nonsense says:

    bakit ni isa eh hindi blue? di ba blue moon noong new year’s eve? naghiwalay ba nag katawan mo? nakatikim kaba ng buntis? allergic ka ba sa bawang? bakit forever ang title?

  25. julxe says:

    Lek,

    I saw the same moon you’ve picture that evening… romantic as I may say because I’m with someone… we’ve seen it outside his apartment… I also had fun that night since something had happened… I hope to catch up with you real soon.

    Hugs,
    Julius

  26. .poOt! says:

  31. pinkdiaries says:

    oo isa nako don, hehehe, nice naman kasi eh.. :-)

  32. sows says:

    napadaan lng din! :lol:

      • sows says:

        so, wats d meaning of forever? u havent tot anything..

        MADAYA!!

        • Ax says:

          The moon speaks for itself. Tonight, allow me to teach you the meaning of forever. Blue moon only happens every two or three years. That is just probably a little time of waiting for us humans.

          And this article is not merely for humans who live hundred of years. Us* will have lots of full moons, different from one night to another. Different moon light emitting out of the sky from one dark sleepless night to another.

          But for butterflies, for mushrooms, for bugs, and for every less-than-a-month-lifespan creatures, blue moon is forever.

          And this post should not be taken too literal.

          *The use of ‘us’ is scholarly incorrect. But for literature’s sake, I want to keep it that way. And I must admit I have seen the moon countless times. Still, I have never seen them the way like every last night.

  33. livingstain says:

    mahina ako, forever is not enough for you to teach me… parang buwan, akala mo maliwanag pero kapag ninais mo nang kuhanan ng larawan hindi pa rin pala ganon kaganda…. (ano daw)

  34. Allen says:

    creepy moon! parang all of a sudden may lilipad na witch on a broomstick. haha. lalo na yung 3rd photo.

  35. joan says:

    ..hi kuya ax! maganda naman yung kuha mo eh.. kaso mas maganda yung 3rd photo. ahhaaha! .. :))

    • Ax says:

      haha. salamat.. pero hindi na lang. biro lang.

      yep, maganda nga yung third photo, kahit yung first at yung fourth.. at saka pala yung second. wow. gulat ako.

  36. walongbote says:

    maganda naman ang kuha mo ax.. not bad.. pwede ka na mag start ng P386 mo.. uso ngayon yun sa blogosphere… ako nga nagiisip magstart nun, nagiisip lang naman. salamat sa greetings :)

    • Ax says:

      Hehe, no thanks necessary sa greetings. Ako, wala pa akong pera pambili ng gadgets.

      Mukhang matatagalan pa ang mga upgrade ko sa gadgets! Hehe.

  37. jasn says:

    KAMUSTA KA NA AX!!

    patambling muna dito ha!
    walang kokontra!!!

  38. jasn says:

    The moon.
    oh look at the moon, it’s shining out there!
    Oh! Mother, It looks like a lamp in the air!
    Last week, it was small and it shaped like a bow,
    But now it grown bigger and it shaped like an O!

  39. goodmidnight ax….tulog na me…

  46. robert says:

    Love the 3rd photo. I actually appreciate the roofs(?) more than the moon. Now what does that say about me? :P

  48. Geraldine McEwan says:

    Hi there I like your post. About nights and the moon!

  49. bongkito says:

    Hi ax! you have nice shots naman! experimentation lang yan and practice. btw, you may want to do the practicing today. the moon is full and is quite near tonight.

    • Ax says:

      Thanks Kuya Bong. Mag eexsperimento po talaga ako hanggang sa maging magaling! Hehe. Oo nga po, iba rin ang buwan ngayon. Maliwanag at tila may kakaibang kapangyarihan!

      • bongkito says:

        naku! sana di ka naman napuputol o tinutubuan ng pangil o balahibo… baka bigla kami magtago ni ate kaye mo. hehehe jok lang.

        sana nga kami nga ni ate kaye mo magkaron na rin ng SLR na maganda para mapagkakitaan ko rin ang pagbili dun. hehehe!

        • Ax says:

    here’s the photo:

    • Ax says:

      Huwaw, ang ganda. Winner tong photo na’to! T’was like the moon is a lighthouse for everyone to find their way home.

      Galing. Kudos, Kuya Bong!

      • bongkito says:

        thanks ax! glad you like it. hope to take good shots like this one. eto nachambahan lang. sana nga makapag-SLR na kami ni ate Kaye mo. well if finances permit then siguro we’ll get one. in time… anyhow, keep on shooting. good pics are usually obtained from practice.

        malay mo maging business mo pa yan heheheh! :D

        • Ax says:
