Hi Cristy :) Saw you on my followers list on Tumblr, so I decided to take a peek into yours. You have such pretty photos. We should do a trade or something, haha! I want to meet you someday. You seem like the type I’d get along with really well. :) Love, Chai. -chai
Hi, Chai! Thank you. I’d love to meet you too someday. I think we can be good friends.

Your photos are really nice and I agree: we should do a trade or something! Send me an email? :)

Hey Happy Birthday po :) And Merry Christmas.
Hi! Thanks and Happy Holidays!

Hello Cristy! Happy Birthday and Merry Christmas! ♥ -badlydrawnlove
Hey! Thank you! Happy Holidays! :)

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.

Wednesday, December 16, 2009

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?

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. :)

Monday, November 30, 2009

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

Monday, November 23, 2009

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.

Wednesday, November 18, 2009

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!! :)

Tuesday, November 3, 2009

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!

Monday, October 26, 2009

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?

Wednesday, October 21, 2009

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. :/

Monday, October 19, 2009

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.

Tuesday, October 13, 2009

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? :)

You-know-who: Have you watched Taken? What do you think about it? It's awesomefest!! For me, at least :)
I haven't, but oh my God, the trailer is epic! I'm going to download it right now! Thank you for sharing!!! :D

You-know-who: I remember when you were trying to send us your photos. Where are they? Haha! :)
Oh, I was able to send them to the post office already! Finally! After ten years! Hahaha

Abby: Hi Cristy. I'm in your blog links. :P I have a question: Do you work with .RAW files? I have a 1000D as well if you may remember, and whenever I upload them and work on them in Photoshop, I always use the JPEG files. The reason being I don't know how to work with .RAW yet. Why is it better working with .RAW than JPEG? I've read a couple of articles on it but I never seem to understand. Thanks for your help.
Hi Abby! I haven't worked with RAW files yet. Well, I tried shooting in RAW before but I wasn't able to open the files because I didn't have the required software. Choosing which format is better to use depends on one's photographic needs & goals. RAW may be tedious and time-consuming, but one advantage is that it gives you complete control over your images. If memory capacity is not an issue to you and if you like spending hours twiddling your images, then RAW could be for you. On the other hand, if you don't have much time, if memory capacity is an issue, if you shoot hundreds of images at a time, then stick with JPEG. Ultimately, just ask yourself what your goals are as a photographer and decide from there. Hope I was able to help! Haha. Good luck. :)

Wednesday, September 2, 2009

badoodledoo: do you experience lag with your 1000D? ..cause with nikon, i experience it a lot. :[ ..like when ..naka focus na and everything tapos pag click mo.. di siya mag cclick/magttake ng shot. gets? :)) haha
Yes, sometimes. But I think it's just my camera trying to meter and auto-focus. To avoid that, you can try setting the focus and exposure first by pressing the shutter halfway down and fully pressing it when the right moment has come. :)

Thursday, August 27, 2009

^_^: Where di you buy your Digital SLR? In hidalgo also?
Yeah. :)


badoodledoo: wow. :D nice line up, kaso i don't think you'll be needing the 24 - 70 once you have the 24- 105 :P ..ang mahal kaya X))) nahhh.. go go go! rich kid ka naman e :))))
I'm torn between the two because both are really excellent (and yes, expensive too!). Well, I have two options: a) to improve my photography skills first and find my style and see which lens will be more suitable for my needs OR b) rob a bank to get shitloads of money then buy the entire Canon lens line up. The latter sounds funnnnn! :P

Monday, August 24, 2009

badoodledoo: would your next lens be an 18-200 standard zoom? :]
Haha. I'm not sure which lens I'm going to buy next, but I'm totally lusting after these three: Canon EF 24-105mm f/4 L IS USM, Canon EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM Lens and Canon EF 70-200mm f/4.0 L USM. :D

Sunday, August 23, 2009

badoodledoo: why canon? why not nikon? :p
Canon is simply the best. Haha! Seriously though, my love for Canon is inexplicable. I love love love Canon! Nikon just doesn't appeal to me.

Hi! I'm really sorry but I only follow a select few on Twitter. I might not be able to keep up with everyone's updates if I followed everyone back. Hope you understand. Sorry.

kaye: How much is your film slr, and what model?
Canon AE-1. Four thousand bucks. The package includes one body and three lenses so I was really fortunate to get it a very cheap price. :)

Friday, July 31, 2009

shalla: Are you using a DSLR camera?
Yep! :)
nikki: Hello! I love all of your photographs. I am a fan. :P You inspired in taking good photos. God bless. I hope you post some photography tips in your blog :)
I'm not sure if I'm the right person to be asked about tips but yeah, I'll try! Thank you! <3

Monday, July 13, 2009

yel: Last question! :p Can you give me some tips on buying film slr? im planning to buy one :)
I'm not sure what tips to give you since I've only bought a film SLR once, but let me share with you why I bought one. The only reason I bought a film SLR is to have the exact same camera that was used in one of my favorite movies! I deeply fell in love with the movie that I went as far as finding out the model of the camera and scouring the web for sellers of the same model. I thought I was never going to find one since it was manufactured in the late '70's, but as luck would have it, I found a seller and immediately bought it. I only asked him if it was still working and in good condition and that was just it. Haha. So if you're going to buy one (I'm assuming it's your first time to buy an SLR and you're going to buy a used one) be extra careful and check the condition of the shutter and the lens. Look if there are any cracks or loose parts and see if it's clean inside. Also, you may ask if it has a manual or if it can be downloaded from the web 'cause you will need it to learn basically how to use it. Good luck! :)

What are the reasons you chose to purchase your Canon EOS 1000D? Kindly elaborate. (: Thanks in advance, been canvassing DLSR's lately.
Well, I chose it because I think it has all the features I will ever need. Some of the features of 450d which are not present in 1000d are, in my opinion, not really necessary for starters. I personally think that it's better to invest on good lenses. I'm pretty sure that I will change my camera body in the future, but lenses will stay longer. Hope I was able to help. Haha! Good luck! :)

Monday, July 6, 2009

YEL: So your cam is canon eos 1000D?
Yeah, it is one of the cameras I am currently using! :)

Tuesday, June 30, 2009

Chang (been a fan for quite some time): How did you learn to take such amazing photographs? :)
Even if I do not totally concur with what you just said (haha, really!), I can say that reading, shooting and experimenting a lot with your camera can help you in your quest to take good photographs! Haha. Anyway, thanks Chang! :)

You see my favicon? That's unfair! How come you see the favicon in my blog and I don't? Hmm. That favicon is starting to boggle my mind. Sometimes it shows up, sometimes it just mysteriously disappears! Maybe there's something wrong with my layout; I need to figure it out soon! So anyway, about your question, I'll just share you the code. Click this.

TIN: hi! i really love your photography
Thank you! :)

B: Hello xty! I was wondering if you can help me with my sorta dilemma. Well, I'm planning to buy a DSLR soon and I don't know what brand is best? Will I get a Canon or Nikon? I want a camera that take really good photographs and the one that doesn't require post processing well not always. I mean something hard to edit since it's already polished or something. Thanks! Btw, I'm a fan of your photography! I love your works :D
Thank you for the kind words. :) There are a few things I'd like you to know: first, it doesn't matter if you get Canon or Nikon, both are very good brands and can give you superb images; second, it's not the camera that will give you good pictures, it is you. It is how you see and how you compose that is important; third, if you don't want to post-process your pictures, then don't. Remember that photoshop can't fix a bad picture. A bad picture is a bad picture; lastly, if you like to have fucking-amazing-extraordinary photographs, you have to realize that it all depends on you. Read about photography, practice, train your eyes, and shoot a lot. Good luck to you! :)

Wednesday, April 15, 2009

TRISHA: Where do you live, if you don't mind? :)
Pampanga.

ROBOT: Thanks for the help. I have another question, Would you recommend using a point and shoot camera to those who are just starting with photography?
If you have the means, then I suggest you buy a dSLR as they are far more flexible than point and shoot cameras. But take note that the most important thing to becoming a good photographer is learning how to utilize your eye, not your camera.

CQUEE: what is the brand of your digital SLR?
Canon.

Thank you! I'm glad to hear that. The best tip I can give you is to practice a lot. Keep shooting and bring your camera with you everywhere. Don't forget to read books about photography too. ;)

ABBY: I was just wondering: When did you start seriously pursuing photography?
I think I started getting serious about photography last year. Got interested with it as early as the last few months of 2006, though. I became passionate about it; I really tried hard to understand its basic principles by getting my hands on books and scouring the internet for tutorials. I grabbed a camera and started shooting! When I saw how much I enjoyed it and how satisfying it is as a medium to share one's creativity and experience, that's when I realized photography is a part of me. Just like what Hamad Darwish said, "I gave it a try and now I can't live without it!"
