Litratuwaan #4: Saan ito?
I crossed this bridge on foot. When I entered on one side of the bridge it was afternoon and still bright. When I exited on the other side and it was night time and all dark!
Question: Where is this place?

Litratuwaan #4: Where is this?

Answer to Litratuwaan #4 next week, Friday.

Answer to Litratuwaan #3:

What is it?
It’s a photo of a hot air balloon taken from the inside. This photo was taken while the balloon was still being inflated, so it was still lying on its side. Beautiful colors, don’t you agree?

Congratulations, Mona! You got it! Here are some more Hot Air Balloon photos.

Answer to Litratuwaan #2:

Where was this photo taken?

It’s at the Museo Pambata at Roxas Boulevard corner South Drive Manila.

They have more than 6 halls (history, body, sports, science, nature, TV studio). It’s a great place for kids to learn things in a highly-interactive way. Anything the kids see, they are allowed to touch.

During a field-trip, upon seeing all the things they could play with, a pre-school student run to my sister and screamed in “nang-gi-gigil” delight: “Teacher, ang saya-saya ko!”

Litratuwaan #2: Where was this photo taken?

If you have kids aged 3-10 years old, you should bring them here.

I enjoy going to this place. It brings out the kid in me.

Answer to Litratuwaan #1:

What is it?
It’s a patch from our Pisay’91-UPLB barkada jacket. There were 12 of us there, I think. The jackets were bright yellow and white and it shouted out loud that we were mag-kabarkada. Around 3 years later I decided to give away the jacket so another person could use it. But I kept the patch.

What creature is it?
It’s supposed to be an eagle, but I’m not sure why it has four teeth! Hahaha!

Litratuwaan: Katuwaan sa Litrato, The Weekly Photo Game

ka edong — Thu, 12 Mar 2009 23:17:37 +0000

Through the years, I’ve compiled hundreds of photos. Some of them I’ve uploaded to my online photo album http://photos.edongskey.com . But many more of them are in my hard drive.

Some of these photos I’ve been lugging around for more than 5 years, transferring them from one computer to another when I move jobs or change computers.

I thought I’d put these photos into good use and publish them in a series. It’s going to be in the form of a guessing game.

Litratuwaan na!

Litratuwaan: a memory from my high school days

I just finished my week-long brainstorm of a catchy title for this photo game. After listing more than 50 keywords in English and Filipino, one title came out as outstanding.

“Litratuwaan” . A combination of “Litrato” or “photograph” and “katuwaan” or “fun times/fun things”. This is the title I will use for this weekly photo game that starts today.

This title is *not* original. I think it was coined by Mr. Baluyut, father of Jason of Pisay ’91. Mr. Baluyut and a few of our batchmates would come out with a series of printed photos posted along the corridors of our alma mater. It always had funny captions like in a comicstrip. But it was very special because they were photographs of our friends and batchmates. It was always a hit and I cherish the memories of those “Litratuwaan” posters.

For Technobiography, I borrow the title “Litratuwaan” for a series of weekly games.

The game will take a variety of forms.

Guess where: a photo of a distinctive place and I’ll ask Litratuwaan players (you!) to guess where it is.
Guess what: a photo of a distinctive thing and I’ll ask Litratuwaan players (you!) to guess what it is.
Guess when: a photo of a distinctive time and I’ll ask Litratuwaan players to guess …. Naaah, I’m just kidding. :-)
Complete the picture-story: I’ll cut the photo in half and ask you what you think the other half contains. (e.g. “what is this girl laughing at?”)
Caption: Put a funny caption for the photo

I’m sure this series will evolve. We (Litratuwaan players and I) will come up with many other photo games.

How things will work

I’ll post a Litratuwaan game every Friday morning. It will include a question or instruction.
Litratuwaan players will give their response(s) through the comments section.
I may insert clues in the days that follow.
The final answer will be given in the following week along with that week’s Litratuwaan game.

Ready for our fist Litratuwaan game?

Tayo na’t mag-katuwaan. Tayo na’t mag-Litratuwaan!
