True Radio Show

True Radio Show airs on BCCTV Channel 6 TV every weekdays from 7 to 9 in the morning. Hosted by DJ Sandy, the show is originally radio only but BCCTV Channel 6 wanted to hook up with 911 FM so now they're also airing the radio show on TV.

Cool! Now you can actually see your favorite radio hosts beamed live to your TV sets. If you're on Channel 6 and you have cable that is.

Here they are: The FM DJs

People: My Lola in B/W

My Lola in B/W

My grandma is old and quite sick too. Old age has weakened her body leaving her episodes of rheumatic pains. But despite her illness, she is still quite sharp and witty. I've always been fascinated with her stories of yore - of how my grandpa caught two wild pigs in their corn farm in one night or of how she and her sisters would go to the barrio dances when they were still young. Or how they escaped from the Japanese when Davao was besieged during the war.

These stories seem to keep her cheery and young-faced again. She just lightens up with excitement and euphoria. She talks longer than I would have wanted her to. I wish I could record these stories and compile them for later when we got grandkids of our own already.

Sometimes, I cut her short of her story telling (I've heard of some of them!) and try to come up with a reason to leave. Often, she asks me what the name of my wife is. She sometimes forget. I say, "Regina, Lola, uy! Sige man ka kalimot." (Here name's Regina, Lola. You always forget.) She smiles and says, "Kanus-a man mo manganak kay para makakita na ko's imong liwat?" (When are you guys having a child?)

If and when we do have a baby girl, I should probably name her, Maxima. In honour of my dear lola.

Photobin: Out of School Kids

Photo by Ryan Macalandag

This photo was shot in Trinidad, in their gym where the basketball court is. This area is the service entrance/exit. There was a event inside the gym with a lot of elementary and high school students attending. These two kids, apparently don't go to school but were attracted to the loud and raucous cheering inside. They just wanna be part of it all, somehow.

However, this girl below is probably too young to go to school, but all too eager to be with all the other kids too. She was giddy watching the young marching band as they passed by.

This little girl was awed by the performances on stage. She's not yet in school. She probably has a brother or a sister from among the students inside. Or she could be a teacher's daughter.

So, these are the school children who were inside the gym to watch the event. They were given bread and a tetra pack juice for snacks. No wonder the two boys outside wanted to go in.

One of the students inside were friends with the out-of-school boys hanging out by the service exit. He went outside to hand to them a packed juice and a sandwhich he had nicked from the lady who distributed the snacks.

Photobin: Jack the Electrician

Portrait Photography by Ryan Macalandag

This is Jack. He works as an electrician for the local government unit of Trinidad, Bohol. He's probably like the head electrician 'coz he does a lot of stuff and has about 3-5 people working under him. When I went to Trinidad (for the town photography), Jack was one of the more interesting people I met. On my second visit, they we're assembling 4 huge-ass sub-woofers for the town gym.

Advertising: The REEL Deal

Bumped on this gem of a video in a blog somewhere.

Have your ever wondered how things would be if people really said what they really wanna say? This video shows us company executives, account managers, creative agencies and TV commercial directors in a totally new light.



And here's another one on the advertiser-consumer relationship.



Funny, eh? :)

Photobin: Miravilla Sunset

Sunset Photos by Ryan Macalandag
Tagbilaran City, Bohol, Philippines

It's been raining for like a couple weeks or so. Today was different though. The sun was out and the sky was clear and blue. But I was schlepping around the whole day running some errands and put off taking photos until later this afternoon.

I went alone to the nearest beach to catch some sunset. And what a glorious sunset it was. Just a perfect setting to try out my new Tokina 12-24 f/4 lens. :)

I hope this weather would hold for the rest of the summer.
