OMG. I just found out you like the movies Before Sunrise and After Sunrise. Yay! I don't have friends IRL who would watch, they think they're boring. I love those movies! They're my comfort movies. They make me rethink about a lot of things in my life. :)
You mean Before Sunset (and Before Sunrise)? :) Anyway. Three things: 1) My friends would probably find them boring, too; 2) Those movies are awe-inspiring; and 3) They make me want to go to Vienna & Paris! Haha.

i! just wanted to know what theme you are using for your tumblr? :)
I'm using Drifter by fridayface. Here's the link: http://www.tumblr.com/theme/11327

Here you go: Let's Get Mystical torrent http://isohunt.com/torrent_details/134754285/?tab=summary&smiley
Yay thanks!

?paano ka nakakapagbass sa phone mo? is it application or what? as seen here: http://stochastik.blogspot.com/2010/08/short-update-on-my-life-in-unedited.html
Yes, I installed an application called Mobipocket Reader on my phone.

Is it ok to print your pictures?
If it is for your own personal use (e.g. posting on the wall of your room), then it’s OK.

Are you OC when it comes to books?
A few of of my books are organized according to size, some according to subject, some according to author.

Haha I do too, I keep my fave blogs to myself. Coz I don’t really wanna share them. I’m afraid they might get overrated when people decide to love them like I do. How I loathe overrated things. Sorry for asking you, I didn’t know you were like that too (:
It’s all right. No problem. :)

I love This Will Destroy You! I have been listening to uhm, let’s see. Manchester Orchestra, Mae, Tokyo Police Club, Fanfarlo, Copeland, Caspian, and this movie’s ST: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZVdmaavlo0c You should totally watch it. Want a torrent?
Sure! Thank you!

Have you already watched Amelie? If you haven’t, please do.
I downloaded it before, but I accidentally deleted it. :(

Don’t go. I’ll eat you up. I love you so.
Am I the only person who haven’t seen Where The Wild Things Are yet? I must see it soon.

Here I am again, wanting to ask the songs on your playlist right now. Coz you know, it changes from time to time. Or is it just me? Well anyway. Good day.
Lately I’ve been listening to This Will Destroy You, Someone Still Loves You Boris Yeltsin, Margot and the Nuclear So and So’s, and Built to Spill. How about you?

You should make a font. (: Name it Astral Plane. Hi. <3>
Hi! Thank you! That sounds cool, but no. Font-making isn’t for me. :D

http://mymilktoof.blogspot.com/ Love it or die. <3
I came across that blog once. It looks cute.

Movies that never gets old for you are?
James Bond movies (those starring Brosnan and Craig), Harry Potter movies, The Count of Monte Cristo, Before Sunrise, Before Sunset, Into the Wild, and many, many more.

are you... lesbo? :[
LOL. WHUUUUT. NO.

what's tablet?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Graphics_tablet

Have u ever had a reLationship with a girL? kuLasas are usuaLLy known for those kind of stuff whatsoever. Haha.
Haha, yes.

how many shots does the instax mini take?
Only one pack of Fuji Instax Mini Film can be loaded into the camera at a time. One pack = 10 shots.

when did you start practicing photography?
Last quarter of 2006, I think. :)

I really like to read your blog posts and I don't even know why. This is not really a question, is it?
It isn't. But I like it. Thank you.

Hi, I noticed how you make your digital pictures look like film :) Hehe, well it looks kinda vintage-y like this one http://img40.imagefra.me/img/img40/2/3/14/pltw/f_t80br39mv1pm_b50915e.jpg Mind to share how to do those kind of edits? I would appreciate it so much!!! Thanks in advance!
http://www.formspring.me/astralplane/q/511482388

hi cristy! i hope you still remember me. i'm sure you'd love this ring... http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Accessories/Med+owl+ian+Ring
That is really cute! I also like the mugs! Haha.
Oh, of course I remember you, Alekx! :D

hi ate cristy! -krinessa
Hello there! How are you?

what's your height?
About 165 cms.

Age?
Twenty-two.

would you again be giving free photo prints? i didn't hear about it when you did it last December. if only i had known!
Genius MousePen i608

what settings in photoshop do you use to edit your pictures?
It depends on the photo, but I mostly adjust Color Balance, Selective Color, Hue & Saturation, Brightness/Contrast, Curves, et cetera.

What tablet do you have?
Genius MousePen i608

are you a rich kid?
Why do you ask?

how can i capture you? <3>
Um, what do you mean?

why astralplane?
I think astral plane is an interesting subject.

what is the megapixel of your DSLR? Does it make sense to have a high megapixels in DSLR?
It has a 10.1 megapixel sensor. You need to consider a camera with a high megapixel count if you plan to have your photos printed in large format and if you think you’re going to do major cropping when you edit your photos.

Also, I suggest you read this article (http://www.kenrockwell.com/tech/mpmyth.htm). It’s pretty informative. :)

do you have an ipad? if none, are you planning to buy one? :)
No, I don’t have an iPad. And, no, I don’t have any plans on buying anytime soon.

how can i capture the moon’s image? thanks!
http://www.ehow.com/how_5963780_photo-moon.html
:)

how much did you buy your tablet for? :)
About 3K. :)

Do you have a tablet?
Yes.

when did you sister bought the P1? i was looking for the same color for a long time now i cant seem to find one!
She purchased it last Saturday at Summit Ridge Promenade in Tagaytay.

Wow! :) What model? :) (tablet)
Not quite sure what model it is (I left it upstairs and it’s past 12 A.M. and I should be sleeping already), but I’m certain it’s a Genius one. :)

are you getting tired of the same questions? :))))
Haha, not really. The thought of creating an FAQ page has crossed my mind, though. Haha.

Which do you prefer: tinypic or photobucket?
Neither, mainly because I’ve never tried using either of those hosting sites.

What image editing software are you using?
Adobe Photoshop CS2

How do you achieve this subtle photo edit? Example photos like: http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4547555565/ , http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4534576454/ , http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4517327673/ , http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4504995052/ ?
I don’t know what I should feel about people asking me how I process my photos. It makes me sad sometimes, to be honest. I’ve been patiently trying to learn Photoshop on my own since 2006 and I know I am nowhere near mastering it yet. There are literally so many things that I still do not know, but I’m always willing to learn, discover, and experiment.

I love your photos! Do you cross-process them?
Thank you! Yes, I post-process them most of the time.

Hello. I really like your photos.. What camera are you currently using?
Hi! I’m happy to hear that you like my photos. These days I find myself shooting mostly with my Canon EOS Rebel XS and Fuji Instax.

Where did you buy your P1 phone? Is that the pink or the violet one?
It’s my sister’s phone. It’s the pink one. She bought it at Summit Ridge Promenade in Tagaytay. :)

Where do you study? Are you in college already? :)
I recently graduated (just last week) with a BS in Psychology.

mga magkano mo nabili Canon EOS Rebel XS??? im planning to buy
I got it for about P30k, I think. That was in November 2008.

http://astralplane.tumblr.com/post/555863232/recent-acquisitions-eggs-by-jerry-spinelli - Where did you buy those book? And for how much is each? :)
I can’t remember the exact price of each book, but I’m pretty sure they were just more or less a hundred pesos each. All from Booksale (Starmills & Greenhills branches).

How do you edit photos on Photoshop? Thanks much. :>
:/ It depends on the photo.

why stochastik?
It was supposed to be stochastic, but it was unavailable at the time so I decided to change the last letter to K.

2. have my 50mm lens repaired -why don’t you just buy a new pair of lens? :D …go for prime lens! \(^_^)/
Yeah, I’m actually considering getting a new lens (or a video dslr). I’m not sure.

..just one of the first few daily visitors of stochastik :D hey, superduperuberkawhooper thank you for that blog. my love for photography would have not been brought to existence without you :)
I should be the one thanking you. Thank you for visiting my blog, and for your kind words. I deeply appreciate it.

Why’d you leave UST?
There’s something I did that made my parents decide to send me back and transfer me to a school in Pampanga.

i thought you live very very very far far far away :)) what were you doing there? :P
But Pampanga is far. Well, a little far from Manila. :) Doing where? In Greenhills? Went to Booksale & Astrovision, ate a tub of Golden Spoon with my siblings, and walked around. :)

said hi? ..that would be very awkward aaand creepy :)) yeahp, pretty sure you were there. i saw your brother then booom, saw all of your sisters :)) (i know them becasue of your posts, i am not stalking you HAHA)
Haha. Yeah, and I’d probably be taken aback if you said hi to me, haha. May I ask who you are? :)

Thrift shops where? D: I suddenly got interested. Anyway, nice shots as always! :D
Thank you! Thrift shops in Baguio. :)

hey. i saw you and your family at greenhills last weekend. :) …aaaaand i just wanna say that i was sooo starstruck :P ahaha
HAHA. Really? I don’t know why you got starstruck, but you should have said hi to me or something. Haha. Oh, wait, are you sure it was me? What was I wearing? And where exactly did you see me? Forgive me for my lame questions! :)

Hello. Can I ask kung anong photoshop yung ginagamit nyo para mag edit ng pictures. and what’s the use of Adobe Dreamweaver and Lightroom?
I use Adobe Photoshop CS2. Lightroom is another software designed for photographers. Dreamweaver is a web design application. :) where did you get the film camera you’re using? :)
My Canon AE-1 was purchased on the Internet. The Minolta and other toy cameras were bought at various thrift shops.

where are you from? you aren’t from manila right?
I’m from Pampanga.

Where did you go to college?
I studied for less than a year at UST, then I transferred to HAU (a university in Pampanga).

I love your site, your photos, and your style. :)
Thank you, Chang! :)

Hello. You. Are. Great. Just thought I’d mention.
Hee. Thank you. :)

what is your camera? :)
http://stochastik.blogspot.com/2010/03/cameras-i-own-fuji-cheki-instax-mini-20.html

Do you use film more often than digital?
I enjoy shooting film, but I shoot digital more frequently.

Hello. Can I ask kung ano pong gamit nyong dslr? what model? Thankyou.
Canon EOS Rebel XS

Where did you study?
Study what?

How old are you?
Twenty-two.

How did you change the font style and font size of your header?
Go to Dashboard > Layout > Edit HTML. Modify the “#header h1” tag in the Header section.

Hello Ms. Cristy, I’m just wondering if you can give us your old blog layout code, i promise to give credit :) Thankyou.
I don’t have a copy of the code of my old layout. :/

Tell me a joke.
I can’t think of any right now.

What camera did you use to shoot this one? :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4308490407/
Minolta SR-T Super

Brilliant video, Cristy! And very timely, if I may say so. I am planning to make a short video this summer. :) Your video inspired me more. oh, by the way. it’s me, alekx. :)
Hi, Alekx! That’s great to hear! It’s fun making videos. I hope you enjoy creating one. And thank you! :)

What is your DSLR now? :D
Canon EOS Rebel XS

How do you like your peanut butter? A bit sweet with a hint of saltiness like Peter Pan, or just plain sweet like our very own, Ludy’s?(:
I eat any type of peanut butter, but I particularly like Smucker’s Goober Strawberry, Skippy and American Maid Peanut Butter (Crunchy). :)

Have you already finished the dictionary yet?
Haha. No.

Hey. What bands/singers are on your playlist right now. And how come you don’t post any songs on Tumblr?
I’ve posted two songs before, actually. Haha. I’ll try to post more in the future. Also, I’m trying to make a mix, but so far I’ve only added two songs on the list. Let me see if I can upload it when it’s done. Oh, and lately I find myself listening to Mogwai (a few of their songs have been on repeat for about three months now), The Album Leaf and The Submarines.

You inspire me so much. Thank you for existing.
It makes me immensely happy when people tell me that I inspire them. It really helps me to continue what I’m doing and to create more. Thank you. <3 style="font-weight: bold; color: rgb(153, 0, 0);">

Your model Ria looks like your sister Joy.
She does not.

What’s Ria like, you know, as a person, friend. How about you, are you the silent type. Are you two bestfriends or something?
We’re friends. She’s a friendly, outgoing person. I am self-reliant and mostly introverted.

Hello there! Might I ask you to post your jump shot where you are wearing a pink high socks. I think it’s your profile photo somewhere, I think on Multiply. And post the rest of your photos too. They are amazing, Cristy.
I don’t think I could post that photo. It just does not look that great when magnified. But, yes, of course, I will show more of my photos. Thank you. :)

You seem like a very reserved person. I never see you kid.
I sometimes like being a reserved person.

I remember you in peanut butters and owls. <3
Aww. :)

I love you online. Do you think I will love you in real life?
WHAT. HAHAHA.

You have similar style with planetickets.tumblr.com :) And I like you both! =)
Why, thank you. :)

I like you :>
:)

hi ate cristy!! i miss you!-KRINESSA
You are a sweet girl.

Do you still give away photo prints? :>
I might again in the future. :)

do you follow your followers?
Yes, some of them.

Where did you printed this? :D http://stochastik.blogspot.com/2009/12/free-photo-prints.html
Oh, those are notecards. I bought them from a bookstore.

what ur course??
Psychology.

hello Cristy! i was the one who suggested “Clark” as the name of your newly-bought SLR. :D so what’s his name? :> i really ♥ “Clark” :> -cinnamon199
Haha. Yeah. Haven’t decided what to name him yet!

what film camera do you use? can you recommend me one? :)
I use Canon AE-1, Minolta SR-T Super, a few toy cameras, et cetera.

can you tell me where can i find a blogger template somewhat like yours? :) thank you :)
Try BlogSkins.

Cristy, that photo of your room is overlooking the San Miguel Corporation Building. Am I right? -theblairwaldorf
Yes. :)

hey great 35mm set on Flickr. btw i think i know your model. she’s ria right? i forgot her surname but she was my neighbor when we were still in Pampanga
Yeah, Ria Torres. And thank you.

Your film work is amazing. <3
Thank you.

What’s the name of the film you used here? Thanks so much! :) http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4222962948/in/set-72157612425723778/
Photoline Pro 200

hey what film did you use here? thanks! :D http://www.flickr.com/photos/pltw/4308223229/in/set-72157612425723778/
Lucky Super 200

do you edit your pictures? how do you do the dreamy effect?
Every now and then. I don’t have a specific way of achieving a particular look. Like, in what you call this “dreamy effect”, I have a number of ways to achieve that. It depends on the photo, you see. But what I mostly do is adjust the curves, hue & saturation and color balance.

how does the prints thing work?
The print give-away? It was something I did last Christmas (and February 2009). You can choose any photo you like and I’ll have it mailed to you.


Hi. =) I think your work is amazing. I just came across your Tumblr and I’ve instantly became a fan. =) -Des (http://thisdistance.tumblr.com)
Hi, Des. Thank you. <3

Hi! Which do you prefer, film or digital? Your photography inspires me! Keep it up! :D
It’s hard to pick. Really. I love both. I like the convenience of digital. I like film because of its look and colors and especially the anticipation and excitement you feel when you have it developed. :)

Hi Cristy! Sorry ngayon lang kita na-follow. I didn’t know you moved here na pala kasi hindi ako naka-visit sa old place mo sa Blogspot lately. Anyway, wala lang I noticed you like film so much… try visiting http://otherjoseph.livejournal.com — Rai
Yeah, I love film. And yes, I visit Joseph’s blog every now and then. He has awesome photos. I think he mainly shoots digital.

Thanks for following me. :D

Hi! Thanks for following. I adore your photographs! Also, yay another Minolta user! I inherited a Minolta too but I have to have it fixed first. :) - Angrr on tumblr.
Oh. Haha. Hi, Angrr! :)

Where in Pampanga can I find thrift shops?
I don’t know. I’ve only visited those in Baguio. :/

Mali pala yung sinendan ko. Sensya na.
:)

Hi XTY!;) We exchanged links on blogger about almost 2 years ago. my name’s Zee. I’m organizing my hard drive and stumbled into my old blogger’s link list! saw yours and remembered your awesome photos. So yeah. I’m glad your blog’s still up and you have a tumblr now. I don’t really have a question. I’m just glad i found you without really looking. :] I’m so excited to see what I’ve missed. :P cheers. :] - zee
AWW. UM. HI, ZEE! HAHA

cristy, thanks for those prints they’re really good, i means it. http://atoiaziz.tumblr.com/
Hi, Atoi! You’re welcome.

Hey Xty! I finally received your prints. It’s awesome. -starberryscoop.tumblr.com
:)

Hi, I received your prints already and I looooved it. Thanks so much!!
You’re welcome. :D

Hello! I’m KC. I saw in you listography account(http://listography.com/rocketgirl)that you wanted to study French 2. Sa UP ka ba nagFrench 1 and what year did you took French 1? curious lang. :)
I do not have a listography account.

Cristy! I just received your prints! I love them. Yay! Thank you so much.. Sana umabot pa to. *crosses fingers* - yel
You finally received them. Yay!

If the mail still doesn’t arrive tomorrow, I will send a new one on Thursday! :)

cristy, what type of paper did you have the photos taken? i like them, they’re nice. and the texture is amazing on the hands. -alekx
Hi, Alekx! They were printed on silk finish paper. :)

Yeah, it’s definitely fine. I should really be the one asking you that. Sorry for bothering you, Cristy! Our street name was kind of new so I reckon the mail man’s having trouble finding it. I don’t know. But thank you in advance!
No, no, it’s OK. :)

Can you email me (ritratista@yahoo.com) your mailing address again? I just need to confirm it. Thanks.

Hi Cristy! I still haven’t received the prints. I’m guessing it’s the post office’s fault. Super tagal talaga dito sa Cainta eh. Sana makuha ko na, excited na ko sa prints and the extra blank note card.. I really love your work. Keep it up! :)
That really sucks. :/ I am just going to mail you new prints + note card, okay? :)

And, yeah, thanks!

Thank you for the prints Cristy! It was the first thing I saw upon arriving from a very long trip. It really brightened up my day. Sorry for the very late notice. Have a great 2010! - rocketsplat
No problem. You are welcome.

I haven’t received any prints from you. I’m clueless. I was thinking I didn’t really hit the submit button after filling out the form. :/ -TIN
Is your name Ma. Christine? If so, then yes, I received your form.

I am sad to hear you haven’t got your prints yet. Maybe they got lost in the mail or something? Oh, terrible PhilPost service. :/

I am going to send you a new mail nalang. I hope that’s all right with you.

Hi Cristy. I got the mail. Today :D I’m thinking of writing back to you via snail mail, so watch out for it. Thanks a lot :D -chizbred

Hi Cristy! Have you tried lomography? - dargy
I haven’t, but I’d love to try it someday!

Hi! I recently got an Instax Mini camera too, and I don’t have film yet either. =)) I think your best bet is on Multiply or Sulit. I went around the malls and couldn’t find anything. Will let you know when I do! -patdes
Thank you! :) Your Instax is so cute! :D

There’s this place along Boni Serrano that sells Instax film. Oh Shoot. That’s the nearest place I can think of. Good luck! -sleepcarefully
Boni Serrano. OK. I am not really familiar with that place. Haha. I checked it in Google Maps. I see it’s a little far, but I’ll try! Thank you! :)

online would be ur best bet i reckon. and the cheapest too. I tired 3 countries and they are either expensive or hard to find. but do becareful and check if they are expired or not. ;) cheers good luck! would love 2 see the shots when u do find the film
Hey! Thanks!

Hi! Saw your post re: Fujifilm Cheki. If you’ll be around Ortigas area, you can buy films at Fujifilm at Megamall. You can also try http://ohshootlomo.multiply.com/ Their store is near Cubao area. I hope this helps. - Jaren
Hi, Jaren! I will try Fujifilm in Megamall! Thanks a lot! :D

Hey pltw :p Can you help me? Im planning to buy a dslr. And I like nikon. And this are my choices D3000, D5000, and D60. Base on there specifications what do you think is good a buy? -jajah
I honestly don’t know much about Nikon since I haven’t really used any of their cameras, but based on this comaprison by dpreview.com, I think I’d go with the D5000.

edit: Here’s another answer from a Nikon user. Thanks, Trisha! :)

i’m so happy, i received the photo prints already!! they’re awesome. and like you penmanship :D are you a lefty? or a right-y? - roma a.k.a chunkynote :)

Hi! I just thought to pop by, say hello, thanks for the follow and how much I adore your print giveaway idea. Keep up the awesome, awesome work! Hope you had a happy Christmas! :3 -patdes
Hi, Trisha! Thank you! And thanks for following me too! Happy Holidays! :)

Don’t you like studying in Manila?
Eh? Why?

What does “pltw” mean?
It’s a contraction of PALITAW, a nickname I had in high school.

ui, HAPPY CHRISTMAS AND HAPPY BIRTHDAY! -paula (it’s really saya to hear bday mo eh dec.25! ü)
Haha. It’s just like any other birthday. But yeah, thanks and have a merry Christmas. :)

Papercutballoons? I deleted that already. Haha! :D
I see. Anyway. Merry Christmas! :)

Hello! Thanks for following me. I can still remember you (blogger days) haha! -merphi
Hi, Merphi! Oh, you had a Blogger account? What was your blog URL?

Do you shoot with Polaroids? Where are they available and how much? What model/s are you using? :)
No, I haven’t tried shooting with instant cameras, but I’d really love to try and own one someday.

You’re from San Fernando right? San ka nagpaparint? :)
You mean the photos for the giveaway? First batch in SM Pampanga; second batch in TriNoma.

Your pictures are wonderful. :) I hope you give out prints again soon. -sleepcarefully
Hi, sleepcarefully! WHAT. I’m surprised. Wow. Seriously, thank you! <3

I actually extended the deadline for the photo prints and I’ve seen you submitted a form already!

I’m happy that you’re giving out free prints too. Your photos are stunning and beautiful and it’d be really great to receive one. :)

Would you recommend your camera (canon eos 1000D) to a beginner like me? :D
It’s an entry-level camera so I think it’s good for beginners in photography. But I would also recommend checking out Canon Powershot G10 or G11. They’re not dSLR’s, but I’ve heard good reviews about them.

Hi astralplane!:D Can I just say I adore your photography? Specially the black and white ones.:) -terriblypencilled :D
Hi, terriblypencilled! Thank you. <3

oh, okay. it looks the same eh. oh well. :D yup, i read your blog. back when you were using stochastik.blogspot did i get that right? hehe.
Haha. Yes. Actually, I still use it. I just don’t update it like I used to. :)

hi :) i was wondering if you received any package from LBC today :)
Hi, Glenda! :) Yes, I received the package today! Thank you so much! I’ll write an entry about it tomorrow! Thanks again. :)

YAY! that’s so great. mailing won’t be a prob then. I love your pictures! can i ask what cams you use?ü
I shoot with this and this most of the time.

Hello Cristy! I just adore your photographs so much, I was ecstatic that you decided to give out free; count it, two free prints for us! *JUMPS AROUND ROOM* So I filled up the form and sent it to you, though I’m not quite sure yet if you already received it. I just wanted to make sure you did. Your photos would surely uplift my holiday spirits. XD I contacted you here because I was having troubles with my Microsoft Outlook. I couldn’t send you an e-mail. Thank you very much, and have a good one! Happy Holidays! XD -Miguel
Hi, Miguel! Wow. Thank you so much. Really. :)

Yes, I’ve already received the form you submitted. So, yeah. I hope you have a wonderful Christmas. Thanks again! :)

If ever I’d be having a really nice new room, I’ll put pictures you’ve taken on my walls.
That’s so sweet. Thank you. :)

Hi Xty! :) I signed up again for the photo prints :] Teehee, I loved the first one I received =]
Let me guess, does your name start with a letter C? M? or F? Hahaha. Whoever you are, thanks! :D

hi there. are you from pampanga? i’ve seen some of your photos in clark and marquee mall :D
Yes. :)

hi ate cristy! nag submit na po ako ng form.. -krinessa :)
Hello, Krinessa! Yeah, I already saw the form you submitted. You sure you only want to receive one photo print? Every person can choose a max of two photos, but it’s perfectly all right if you really just want to receive one. :)

hey cristy. isn’t this shot yours?
http://micasantiago.tumblr.com/post/281657324
i dunno, but it’s kind of the same with the shot i saw in your blog way back. i think it was cropped and edited.
i dunno.
Haha. It’s probably a bit similar to one of my photos but, no, it’s not mine. Thanks, though. :)

You read my blog? I think I know you. Not that I know everyone who reads my blog, but… err. Anyway, hi! :D

Just wanted to say hi and tell you that I absolutely adore your posts on tumblr. :]
Hi! Thanks. :)

pltw! Anu favorite color ni Nhot? Tska gusto ba niya lego na watch? Un kasi binili ko sakanya Christmas gift e. Di naman niya tinitignan to diba?
Check mo Wall mo sa Facebook.

hi ate cristy! you’re a psych student ryt??
Hi! Yes, I am a psychotic psychology student! :)

Hi. I miss your photographs. :) -jahjah
Hi! I’ll try to post later. :D

Sure! :)

You also shoot using film, right? Where do you score films?
I usually get them in photo stores here in Pampanga.

hello cristy! i wrote here again, baka kasi di mo mabasa..i am wondering to use an OLD film camera (di ako mayaman eh) but I don’t know how to use it very well for good photography..can you give me some tips? thank you :) -paula
I’ve answered this question! :)

I want you to be my sister cos your cool. haha.. :) im krinessa :)
Hi, Krinessa! Aww. Thanks. :)

pete is your bf right? can u tell us something about ur lovelife? <3>HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. WHAT. Pete is my dSLR!

i’ve sent you an email :)
Yes, I replied to it already!

whenever i see owls, i remember you! :) -paula
Really? Aww. That is so funny, and sweet! Hahaha. :)

hello Cristy! :) i have always been a fan of your photography. :) well, I am thinking of using a film camera (Canon) but I don’t know how to use it very well. can you give me any tips? -paula
I honestly don’t know what tips to give you. I’ve been using my film camera for more than a year now and have finished at least 13 rolls of film but, honestly, half of my shots still come out really underexposed. I guess the best thing you can do if you’re planning to use a film camera is to read your camera manual first. That is the first thing I did and it certainly had helped me to understand & know the functions & capabilities of my camera. Also, like what I’ve been doing since day one, never stop experimenting and just keep shooting.

Thanks! :)

i wish you’re my big sister.. :)
So far, that is the most hilarious thing said to me. Haha! Why do you want me as your big sister? I’m mean and evil and very cruel! Ask my siblings. Hahaha. No, but seriously, thank you. :)

Hey. May I use the monthly part of your blog ” Happy list”? Because I quite like it and I somehow also wants to have it on my blog. I’m the one who emailed you last. LOL. I dunno if i’m correct. I’ll just say my name in email.
Go ahead! What is your blog address? So I can read your lists too! Yes, tell me your name. Send me an email! :)

HELLO! :]
Hi! :D

I know this must’ve been asked a hundred times before, but what`s your camera again? And how much did you buy it for? I`m planning to get a new cam this Christmas (my old one was a Casio Exilim with just 5MP) that I wish would be affordable and has 10MP+. I don`t know if I should get a DSLR cause I`m taking up Multimedia Arts or Advertising Arts in college though or if I should just stick with the digital cameras… Honestly I don`t know much about the differences.
Anyway, can you suggest some affordable cameras, preferable under P20K? :) Thanks so much! <3

- a fan :)
(you and your photos are awesome!)
I’m currently using a Canon EOS 1000D. Can’t remember the price I bought it for.

There are a lot of differences between a DSLR and a point & shoot camera. Try to read this article. It’s pretty informative.

I’m not really updated with camera prices, in total honesty. But you could check out Canon PowerShot G10 and G11. I think I’ve heard good reviews about those cameras.

So, good luck! Sorry for my lame answer! :( And thank you!

mataba na ba si Janjan? wala ka ba latest picture niya?-camille
Wala eh. Post ako pag meron. :D

ou.pictures ni Nhot. HAHAHAHA. joke:) wala ako tumblr ee. aus mga posts mo:D
Sige, hanap ako pictures niya. Hahaha! :P

Have you ever tried shopping in outlet stores in robinsons starmill? What do you think about it?
Yeah. I think they’re always on sale(?). Hahaha. No, but the prices of their stuff are relatively cheaper.

pltw, magpost ka pa ng madameng pics:) -camille:D
Pictures ni Nhot? HAHAHAHA. Joke lang. May Tumblr ka? :D

Where are your sisters studying in Manila?
Here.

Hello astralplane! Thanks for following me. :) I adore your photos! - namesake
Hi! No problem! I love your posts! Keep them coming!

And yes, thank you too. :)

Hey, was wondering, what univ. do you go to and what’s your course? I rly rly rly love your photography! I’ve been a visitor of yours ever since your blogspot days and I followed you in Twitter a long time ago :)
Hi! :) Wow, thank you! It makes me extremely happy to hear you love my photography!

I am currently taking up Pscyhology in a university here in Pampanga. :)


Hi Cristy! What’s the font that you use for your watermark? I’m making my own right now and I don’t want to use the same font as you because people might point out that I’m copying yours. :P
Haha. Okay. I use Gill Sans MT. But I don’t really mind if people use the same font I’m using. I’m not the person who created it anyway. :)


Yeah, I know, I think you already told me before. :) Is it weird that I want to shift to Psych, too? Hehe. I’m still not decided on it, though. How many years did you take CS, btw? And why did you shift to Psych? Haha, I have so many questions, sorry. :P
Just one semester. Haha. During my first semester, I was, well, medyo nabarkada. Consequently, I incurred failing grades and my parents immediately sent me back home. I applied to one of the schools here and had no idea if I should stay with CS or what. I chose Psychology because I didn’t know what to take up. I didn’t like any course. I was extremely indecisive. After a few years studying Psychology, I guess I can say I’m enjoying it (even though my mind’s telling me I should’ve taken up Civil Engineering!). :D

So, anyway, you want to shift to Psych? It’s a good course, but so is CS. Ask yourself a hundred times if you really want to shift. Personally, unless you’re unhappy, I’d suggest you stay with your present course. But it’s still up to you. Good luck. :)

What course are you taking up again? :) -Mayee
Hi Mayeeee! I’m taking up Psychology. You’re taking up Computer Science, right? That was my course before I shifted to Psych! Haha. Wala lang. :D

please update more often!! i love your pictures, you know!
Aww, thank you! I’m trying hard, dear!! :)

You are from Pampanga, too? - Erika
Yes.

palitaw ^_^ after hmmm 4-5 years … if you’re not busy… can you shoot my wedding? hehehe - doydoy :-P
Unless you want your wedding to become a disaster, I’m afraid I have to turn down your request. Um, can I be your photographer’s assistant nalang? HAHAHA!

yes, you’re right! i do reside in metro manila :) you work for your dad, that must be awesome! ha ha. oh, by the way… i’m sorry if I make your freedback form like a chat place or something.
The only awesome part is receiving the salary! HAHAHA. But seriously, yeah, I guess it’s awesome because I have no classes this semester so apparently I’ve got nothing to do so my dad insisted that I work for him while waiting for my classes to start this November so I agreed so now I get extra money so now I’m happy like a child. You get what I mean? No? Yes? Okay. Whatever. :P

Anyway, thanks for your questions. I enjoyed answering them, actually. :)

My secret is I love you. Hi, I`m just kidding. I`m Elisa, I like your photos, the obvious reason why I followed you back in…I forgot. I think you should post more of your photography. :) Hee, take care. -thunderpopcola
Hi, Elisa! :) Thank you! I will! And you should post more of your photos too (and more awesome stuff)! :D

How old are you?
18. 19. 20. 21.

:|

no. actually. i was hoping it would be just for fun. i’ve never had any experience before, but i think you make really good photos. and i’d like to try modeling out. - remote
Thank you! <3 And thank you for considering me to shoot you! But to be honest, even though I badly want to do a photo shoot right now, I just can’t. I’m currently working for my dad which makes me pretty busy. Oh, and I’m guessing you live in Metro Manila? I reside in Pampanga. :|

san makakabili ng vitamin water dito? sa robinson’s puro vitawater lang eh. thanks :) -yello
I buy them at duty-free shops, particularly at Duty Free Fiesta Mall, Paranaque City and Parkson Duty Free, Clark Field, Pampanga. I don’t think they are available in our local supermarkets. :/

i want to see a picture of yourself. where they are? -maria
Have you tried visiting my blog? A few photos of myself are posted there. If you haven’t seen them, here’s one (I’m the one holding the camera). That was taken last May. But just recently I cut my fringe. So I’m not really sure if I still look exactly like myself in that photo.

God, I sound lame.

Reading the previous post, you’re one lucky kid with the 4k Canon AE1 package. :D Where did you get it? I’m not really sure where I could find something like that in Hidalgo, booo. - Love, RandomKid.
I bought it online (http://sulit.com.ph). The last time I went to Hidalgo, I saw a few stores selling Canon AE-1. I’m not certain how much they cost but you could ask when you go there. You can also try searching on eBay or Multiply. You might find some sellers there too. :)

What camera do you use? How do you make the vintage effect of colors?
I use different types of cameras but I shoot with Canon 1000D and Canon AE-1 most often.

Are you referring to the color effect in this photo? If so, then I did it by adjusting the color balance, levels, curves, hue & saturation, etc.

you have a film scanner at home? :)
None yet, but I’m on the verge of buying one.

Tell me about yer ideal man. It would be better if you’ll put it on a list! :)) Hehehe -mrai
This question actually made me laugh. Hahaha. Honestly, I don’t believe there is an ideal man out there. I mean, no one’s perfect, people change, our preferences change. Nevertheless, here’s a very short list of traits/qualities that I find attractive in a guy:

• smart
• good conversationalist
• funny
• affectionate
• responsible

So yeah.

Pwede bang mag-model sayo? -remote
Are you serious? Can you send me some of your photos? Your portfolio perhaps? :)

badoodledoo: where do you study? what course?
I'm taking up BS Psychology in a university here in Pampanga. :)
