When was the last time you went to Luneta ?
Manila, PH -- Yesterday! If you ask me and Reese. Now a certified lomographer with her wonderful Fisheye shots and after infecting the whole island of Bohol with lomo, she tagged along with the rest of lomomanila for a day in the park. Dubbed TLR, (The Luneta Rendezvous) this lomowalk was supposed to be a gathering of TLR users, TLR short for Twin Lens Reflex cameras, those box- like cameras you've probably seen in old movies. There's also one in a 500 peso bill! Go take a look! You can also ask her the question "When was the last time you were in The Marikina Shoe Expo in Cubao ?" but that's another blog entry altogether. The weekend was like a trip back to memory lane and I was even playing 70's music in the car ( I know, i know! you weren't born yet!) We had a great time. However, the most memorable words I heard was "Parang gusto kong mag drugs!" which Reese delivered while we were listening to Black Sabbath.
Here's a nice photo of how to do lomography in style. Reese still owes us those Fisheye photos from Bohol and should post it here. And before I forget, Jan needs to tells us about Sydney!
5 on the floor:Out of grad school and on to our next challenge! After all that studying, it's time to have fun and find our big adventure.
When we're not doing the 9-5 thing we like to pseudobackpack.The oxymoronic mantra: trying to rough it in style.
We're good friends and travel buddies who are now separated by four time zones (Jan and Risa in Manila, Justine in Singapore, Joy in Los Angeles, and Ditas in Neptune, New Jersey).
This little blog's been up since June 2007 to keep us connected (along with our common love for travel, music and cherva). Hopefully we can be reunited in some remote paradise in a year's time. Stay tuned and see how we go from here to there.
2006: The First Official Pseudobackpackers Trip: Vietnam for pho-rever, great coffee, and army tanks. Happy pizzas and jamming with a Pinoy band in Pnom Penh. Wat adventures and Pub Street misadventures over at Siem Reap, Cambodia.
2007: Sagada, Philippines is where we came up with more travel plans. Justine moved to Singapore, Ditas to New Jersey and Joy to California.
2008: We conquered South America! It was a blast when we... did the samba and saw Christ the Redeemer in Brasil... hiked up Macchu Picchu and the Sacred Valley in Peru... and watched a tango show and joined a rally in Argentina... Tudo bom!
2009: Trips thus far (collectively & separately): Hong Kong, Singapore, Taiwan, Philippines, Indonesia, Cambodia, Spain, and Portugal.
2010: Mission: Greece, Morocco and Turkey. Perhaps Hungary? Time to save up them pennies and centavos again...

WHERE ART THOU?
Justine did Flirty and 30 in Bali with Jan & Risa (who made a side trip to Taipei). Miss 30 then enjoyed rugby (and more) in HK. Hot momma Joy is back in California with her boys. And Deets is getting her fill of sangria and soccer in Spain and Portugal!
