MACRO PHOTOGRAPHY

     5 centavo Philippine coin.

   An old superstition that many still do for fun or specifically, for luck. The idea that the lucky penny being picked up is connected to early beliefs about where the metal came from, as well as the thought that metal represents power and wealth. It usually brings good luck to the person who picks it up, and you are obliged to offer the penny to another person in order to share the good fortune.

     I actually found this in school too.  I've found three lucky pennies already, but this one was my favorite because it's rare for me to encounter a 5-centavo coin (and also because it's extremely small). Well, I haven't given the coins I found to anyone yet, since I still need six more coins ^^

I used a photo editing app called "Epik" for the photo taken.

    Epik has many uses and provides a lot of necessary features, so firstly I enhanced the photo since it was still quite blurry and had some visible tiny pixels.

    I lowered the brightness since it was too shiny, adjusted its contrast so that it won't be too sharp. As for the saturation, I actually decreased it, which is why it kind of looks like a black and white photo. 

    For the highlights and shadows, I also lessened them since it would be too bright and shiny, so I made sure to balance out the highlights and shadows. 

      The set up during taking the photo, the coin was on top of a tablet, as you can see it has some pattern or texture on the background which is actually the casing of the tab. 

        I wanted to keep the photo as simple as possible, so that it gives off a mysterious vibe from it.

I chose this because as stated,
"You are obliged to offer the penny to another person in order to share the good fortune." 
Perhaps someone who sees this might receive a little luck.

     Ang misyon ko sa buhay ay simpleng mamuhay at magpatuloy sa kabila ng mga hamon, bagama't lagi kong nauuwi sa pagsasabi ng "I give up" sa tuwing nakakaharap ako ng isang problema ngunit sa palagay ko ito ay kung paano ko ito nakayanan, sapat na sa akin ang pagrereklamo. Sa tingin ko, ang pagiging tapat sa iyong nararamdaman ay mas mabuti kaysa sa pagtanggi nito. At ng kasiyahang nakukuha ko kapag nagtagumpay ako sa kabila ng pagsasabing sumuko na ako. O baka ganito lang talaga ako? Hayaan ko lang na mahulog ito ang lahat sa lugar nito at sumabay sa agos~ 

    Palagi kong iniisip kung paano ko napagtagumpayan ang mga bagay kahit na alam kong ayaw kong humingi ng tulong sa iba? At halos hindi ko ito ginagawa. Kaya paano? Ako ang may pinakapinagkakatiwalaang circle of friends, kami ay nagtutulungan at nagsisikap na maunawaan ang bawat isa. Kahit na malayo ay nagagawa naming maging malapit pa rin. Kapag lumitaw ang isang problema o away, sinisigurado naming harapin ito nang tapat at lutasin ito sa lalong madaling panahon at pagtatawanan pagkatapos nito. At oo alam ko na maaaring hindi sila ang grupo ng mga kaibigan na mayroon pa rin ako kapag nasa hustong gulang na ako ngunit hindi iyon nagpapalungkot sa akin, marahil ng kaunti, ngunit alam ko lang na sila ang magiging pinakamahusay na circle of friends sa aking habang buhay. Dahil sa kanila nagagawa kong gumising at alalahanin ang kahapon bilang isang magandang araw, dahil sa kanila ako ay natutulog na iniisip kung ano ang magiging buhay ko kung wala sila, at magtiwala sa akin yun ay napakapayapa at tahimik pero mas tipo kong ‘magisa kasama ang ingay’ na tao. Sa katunayan, mayroon akong magagandang kaibigan na karapat-dapat sa lahat.

    Mayroon ding kantang ito na tinatawag na "kalachuchi" mula sa aking paboritong banda na pinangalanang Munimuni. Ito ay tungkol na ang bulaklak (kalachuchi) ay namumulaklak pa rin sa kabila ng pinakamahirap na panahon. Ito ay isang metapora para sa isang taong nakakaranas ng isang mahirap na sitwasyon ngunit sa pamamagitan ng karanasan na iyon ay magkakaroon sila ng posibilidad na mas mamulaklak. At sa tingin ko ay katulad lang ako ng bulaklak na iyon.
