Rean Ko
No, no, no - her name's not Rean - nor is she mine [Ko] ha !. Dude, I'm just playing with the syllables ! -{I like catchy tiles every now and then}.
She is Korean, though, the only one I dated, who comes from that peninsula.
{Hindi naman malatelenobela ang samahan namin kasi ilang buwan lang siya napadpad rito sa Pinas} {FZ lang kami}
This is one of only a limited number of personal portraits wherein I used lights and a backdrop [angled two Visatech strobes w/ umbrellas / hung a huge cotton backrop] [This film image was shot at the girl's aunt's place in Dasma] . . .Years Ago !!
. . . and speaking of "the girl" - Her name starts with a K. Hmm,
Know a Krissie, Kristelle Ann, Krizelle Anne, Kami, Kamila, Kaylee L, Kaylee M, Kamiko - and I've taken portraits of All of them [some, more than the others]
(two of them have over a thousand shots, most have a few hundred, one has about 25 shots (met her last Nov.3) while another has exactly 5 shots (met her last Nov.7 lang)
They are ALL Interesting/Intriguing - in one way or another.
One's a classical violinist, one's a world class pool player, one's a world class volleybelle, two of them work in Singapore [one of whom, is a boudiour model], one's an editor/media sports correspondent, one's a computer game addict, one's an aspiring chef, one's a lesbian, one's a football player, one's an entrepeneur, one's a lawyer, one's into fitness, one's a bookworm, one's Korean, one's Singaporean, one's Belgian, one's fr Kansas, the rest are homegrown Pinays. The longest one I've known [among the eight] - I met her way back 1997 !! [girl in photo] The most recent ones - met two one of them just Days Ago !- at least one is my fb friend na [she flew back 2 Europe two days after I met her] - the other one - I'll be seeing her in the current sports scene naman , [I WILL] definitely fashion some great OTS Portraits sooner than later - along with some action shots, of course . . .
As with any person [you and me included] there's always more . . . than meets my eyes . . . If one really would really take time to notice . . . People have "hooks" that I look for, and these hooks [or, most interesting apects of a person] drive me to be creative in my photo interprets

Well, each one of the eight photographhs differently, each one has unique quirks/mannerisms, even imperfections, that are actually so lovable ! -
I suppose that's part of the fun in crafting "people pictures" - Diff Strokes, for Diff Folks - Never IS Boring -
In portraiture, I am always confronted with an artistic Challenge - personal, at times, even - Hahaha ! Why so ??
Three of the Ks are good, close friends of mine. The others are just acquiantances at work.
And more on the informative/objective and on a personal (humorous) note - - -
One of them left Manila for the US, to pursue her lifelong ambition [what a courageous one she is]. With one, I'm always at the edge of a cliff - always so close on giving up on the friendship 24/7 - I could jump/snap/let go - literally - at anytime - She's just so impossible! One's a real bitch, one is a dear. One's so heartless and soul less - one's so thoughtful and considerate. One's so Ambitious and Driven !! While one is just simply Lost. One is a Blessing, while another is a Curse. One is "dense as a blackhole" - {Yup, told her personally} (Pre, ibang klase talaga ang ugali nito !!) Ever heard that comparison ?
One is so hilarious, One is so serious. One is a klutz, one is so "maselan" with her things . . . so many endless comparisons . . . I just get amused and humored at their flaws -wala lang.
Sometimes I do get who confused who is really who - among the "personalities" -'Cos they do "change roles" so to speak, at times. - meaning - the bitch can be so nice - and the dear one can be so impossible -whatever.
None of them know each other from Eve. Each one comes from a different backgrounds [social, economic, cultural -religious even] {which is good}.
Why am I saying these things ?? MAYBE, I do miss one of them so much - I have to, at least, mention her first name of course, without [revealing her identity] showing her picture. [Hey, this is a"blind item' post]
Masama ang loob ko sa isa - hindi ko lang maitapat sa kanya - sa blog ko na lang inaamin {at nagpapaluwag ng loob} - nilalabanan ko talaga yoong sama ng loob - ang hirap rin pre - kasi -maraming " hindi magandang pagkatarto" rin ang ginawa sa akin - na naaalala pa minsa-minsan]
Anyway, Could be, literally, be ANYONE of the six Ks.
Simply admitting it in this blog - just eases lightens things for me - I really do need that - {At least Only They know who they are] [Six of the eight freguent this blog - that's one thing I'm sure about]
Well- No one is perfect. Neither you nor me. Nor is there a perfect friend, let alone friendship. One thing I've realized lately, though - is, at times, bonds are tested by circumstances - as doubt, fear, loss of trust, and even hurt and anger - take center stage - and these trials come at the least expected periods.
But Truth be Told - It is ONLY through "stormy weather" can one truly discover how strong [or weak] one's bonds are, how true each one really IS - and I shit you not - It can be so extremely difficult [for me] at times - having to go through these "periods of uncertainty" - and literally being on edge -24/7-, meaning, having my patience/faith in people - being stretched and strained [even my self-esteem, mind you] to the limit - Ibang Klase talaga para sa akin, siguro kasi mahina ang loob ko pagdating sa ganyang mga bagay.
Still - such [dreaded] periods have, ironically, helped me, in the long run, realize the friendships truly worth fighting for - the individuals, who eventually stand-out above a select few - The ones that truly matter.
And - in more bizarre ways than one --->they are the individuals who are the hardest to deal with, the one's I shouldda let go, before pa, but somehow never do.
Maybe, this time I should . . .
