Night shoot at Marikina Riverbank

September 16, 2008
10pm onwards

I was working at around 4pm when JF buzzed me, asking me to join them on a Chowking Congee EB. I turned down his offer because I still have a client to attend to after my regular work.

Before my regular work ended, Vinzer buzzed me telling me that he, Jabey and Randy will be having a night shoot at Marikina Riverbanks at around 9pm. At first i hesitated... because... I left my tripod at home... sigh... but then I realized that both of them brought their tripods so i can borrow any tripod from them (whoever will be).

All the while, I thought that Jabey will join us in the night shoot but to no avail, hhmmm, (how can i put it in words), "his laziness strikes again". bwahahaha. Then off I go to meet with Vinzer.

I arrived in Riverbanks around 9:15pm, bump, already closed, i need to buy some bubble plastic for my old lens so i can ship it to Davao.

Vinzer texted me that we should meet in Greenwhich. Ok, Greenwhich it is. I ordered their cheapest meal available (1 slice of pizza and some spags with 1 glass of iced tea). Vinzer arrived and i say "bbuuurrppp".

We met Randy at the back of Riverbanks, then we walked going to Marcos Highway, we settled just a little far under the bridge (hhuuuwwwaaattt??). We took a couple of night shots. I borrowed any tripod available. I even used my bag as a tripod.


After a few hours of shooting (naks.. artistahin.. pa burger naman.. burger.. burger... ), we decided to pack up. Upon walking back to Riverbanks Mall. Ooopppssss... wait.. I told them... let me borrow a tripod.. okay.. Randy handed his tripod to me, I set it up, took a couple of shot under the LRT line 2 tracks. hehehe.. "nainggit ang mga loko". bump.. no more tripod for me, but... "maabilidad tayo eh".. i used a monopod. (what monopod? wait.. let me explain...). Theres this thing.. what should i call it? the bar where they ties the boat so that the flow of the river won't wash it away.. that's it.. imagine all you want. don't make me beat myself explaining more of this whatever that is.


I used it as a monopod, i believe Vinzer took a picture of me while using the "monopod". Again, we took a couple of shot and some group hugs. We then decided to really stop the shooting.. but we started the shoting.. kurslayt mode.

We ended up in a newly opened bar, WTF, i can't remember the bar's name. wait.. let me get my wallet, got it!!!! "Cafe Mina". We order 1 bucket of kurslayt and some platters. They're so accommodating.

We took some pictures of the food we ordered...

At around 2 am, we decided to go home.
