What if no one’s watching?
What if when we’re dead, we are just dead?
What if there’s no time to lose?
What if there’s things we gotta do
Things that need to be said?
- “What if no one’s watching”; Ani Difranco

This blog is a testament to the existence of events relevant to the observer who, coincidentally, is also the one who keeps this blog. This blog is the materialization of the question asking that if something happens and no one is around to see it, does it make a change? Well, it must, because you are reading this.

This is THE photoblog owned and maintained by Angela. She takes photos using both digital and analog cameras.

What if no one’s watching? does not have a solid and concrete theme as a photoblog as this photoblog believes that to define something will limit the potentials it can possess.

Like her photoblog, Angela does not like limiting herself. For the love of art and the making, she uses this photoblog as a channel on which to express her burning passion towards the act of capturing that infinitesimal moment, to catch the hand of Art which draws the colors and forms of everyday life. This is photoblog is a way to show people a glimpse of her life and its interconnectedness with art and the lives of other people.

In that fateful year of 2003, Angela, then 17 years old, moved to Winnipeg, Canada with her family.

This Filipino with a Canadian passport holds a Psychology arts degree at the University of Manitoba and now pursuing a Human Resource Management certificate in the same university.

You can find Angela on the streets of Winnipeg lugging around her trusty camera, bathing in the golden glow of her own glory. Her dreams are to travel and seek art within and outside Canada when she is done with her academic requirements. She likes coffee, tea, warm rainy days especially if those three happen at the same time. She also loves to read and maintains a small library containing Japanese literature to instruction manuals on how to achieve world domination. Angela doesn’t like winter so when it inevitably comes, she just retreats into her private library and reads the lives and sees through the eyes of various characters in the books she reads.

Angela contributes to the Filipino websites Tinig and the the UP Online Community Peyups. She started intimating details of her life in a blog in the year 2001, mainly as a way of recording her life. Enter 2009, she started another photoblog which is less personal as a way of making connections to the universal citizenship of the internet.

What if no one’s watching was nominated under the Best Photoblog Category, 2009 Philippine Blog Awards.
