I Know What I Did [in recent]
Last Summer [days]
I must admit I've had a difficult time, lately Keeping this Blog In Pace with my activities. -[and to think, I wish I had more time, to cover games, which I have to miss, simply because of conflicts with other league/game scheds].
The matter of maintaining my quality control, over the action images I release, and more so, with my "extreme fondness" for "soulful", "way, way beyond generic" B-t-Scenes imagery, which actually does demand Xtra Effort, on my part - Getting my images "blogworthy" Does Get Tedious !!! ---
--- IF I intend to maintain a certain level/distinct style, even, or what have you with, particularly, my B-t-Scenes/Non-action images.
Anyways - here Goes ... An effort to "make up"? -------
Consolidate, compress somewhat, several events I covered the past few summer days [starting from March 14 - right after the Lady Eagles completed their Back-to-Back UAAP Volleyball Championship .... up to March 22, Sunday, when I covered a UFL Football Match]
------- At least - I gotta try.
Mind You - NOT THAT I WON'T Release anymore images from these said events - Sure, I WILL, one way or another -[Ya know - I can always "insert a delayed blog feat chronologically" - and if, it is that interesting - eventually -
[It'll have hits in due time] -
Have to bridge my March 13 blog post {my last before this one} with this March 24 "several feat-in-one" blog post ---
--- even as i look forward to today's Tuesday PBA Doubleheader
[later at 4:15 at the Araneta]
There'll Always be More Images Comin' ... No Worries - I just have to Pace myself Better so's this blog will be, at least closer to promptness, as far as my sports photojournalism activities are concerned.
So, as the title suggests - This is what I Did the Last Recent Summer days ..... Sorta ..... Sportswise ....

'Twas the last day of that International Pyrotechnic Competition -

March 21, Saturday, Ateneo Campus
The 3-2-1 Bonfire
Seriously, I never made an effort to shoot much, during that evening - I mostly ate [too much] and drank [too much, too, at that] - and eventually had to leave so much earlier than I had expected.
The most interesting part of my evening, to my surprise, was actually the unsolicited, unplanned minutes I spent hangin' with Jeri Pinggoy and Justine Lazaro [Denden Lazaro's younger sister] - [taking International Studies at Ateneo] -
After 30 or so minutes, for some reason, Jeri had to leave {wonder why ? -We were all enjoying each other's company }, and as circumstance would have it - less than 10 minutes into my chikkahan w Justine - I, too, had to excuse myself - Damn !!!! So, many photo opps I had to forego !! [My bad] .....
Maybe in the Next Bonfire ..... Whatever .....
{Two of my on-the-spots of Justine are featured in the next post}
