"Never ever give your services for free." "Sir, paano kung matalik na kaibigan mo ang humiling sa iyo?" "Nasasayo na kung pagbigbigyan mo pero isipin mo, sino kaya sa inyong dalawa ang nakinabang ng husto?"

This is the first lesson that I learned from one of my photography instructors, if one wants to turn professional. It assures the novice professional that at the end of the day, he has money to put food on the table. I have always wanted to turn pro, but I'm not sure if I have the guts to ignore people who are close to me.

I was asked by Dr. Meng Chungongco to shoot the 100 anniversary of the Department of Internal Medicine of PGH, the area where I was formerly associated with. The sad part was that I was asked to do it Probono! Despite the grandiose atmosphere of the event, no budget was set aside for the documentation of the event through video and photography. I really had major reservations in accepting the offer. But the reason why I agreed to do it was out of friendship. It would have been nice to see old friends again. That made me relent.

Unfortunately, my file of pictures taken for this event were included in my laptop "mishap". It's a good thing that I have already given the cd to Dr. Meng before the incident happened. I know I took lots of pictures, but these were the ones I was able to recover.
