Thank you 2011!

Indeed 2011 was a year of ups and downs both locally and internationally. It's been a great year for me and my site and you guys know that right? I'd like to thank this bit to thank a couple of people who made my 2011 great.

Thanks to all my blog friends, I probably shouldn't mention you one by one because you are too many! But you know who you are... and to my hater na blogger din, magbago ka na dahil alam ko kung sino ka! hahahah :P

UBLOG Family, thanks for the Iloilo trip. Thank you also to the wonderful times together! (Namamaalam?! LOL!)

To the peeps over at Pinoy Bloggers, thanks for keeping it professional and letting me be sometimes headache free hahaha!

To my sponsors, great PR companies, brands who made it possible for me attend their events, thank you so much for everything! Without you I wouldn't be inspired to write, meet people and have a wonderful time outside my work.

To the supporters of ABS CBN and the celebrities I love... of course MELASON and their millions of friends; (I don't wanna call them fans coz they treat them like family) I wanna thank you so much for the overwhelming support I get when I write about them! Thank you for being so nice! (You know who you are!) and please let me do Philippine Fashion Week every year! :) Coz you made my article number 1!!!!

Enchong Dee and Erich Gonzales, for making me believe that there are real people behind those good looking faces. I really love you two. Thank you for being so nice to me and recognizing me even if you are so busy with other people in press conferences/shows. (Ambait sobra!)

Thank you also to Rocco Nacino and Kris Bernal, you know you are the only guys I support there in the other station. Even if I was offended by a show's production and the people over there, you made me understand that there are nice genuine ones like you. Thanks for being good friends.

Thanks to my Sensei in Fashion Photography Xander Angeles and Boss Niko Villegas of Edge of Light Studios and The Fashion Academy/Elite Manila. You made me see light in a different way.

And to you dear readers, and non readers that only get photos from my site (baka gusto nyo nang magbago LOL) thank you so much! You have made my 2011 worthwhile and I hope that things will get even better this 2012!

Thank you to everyone who made KUMAGCOW.COM what it is today. Thank you to everyone who loves me the way that I do you! =)

How to Look Professional

Branding this site needed a lot of things and one of them is handling images to represent it; and also the things I planned to write about. I found my niche after a few years and to tell you honestly I'm still not happy on the COW theme going on my site. No matter how I desperately try to make things a little professional looking it comes to a point where the cute and adorable still come in. I know how long I have been staying with it (probably since 2002 or earlier than that) and I have been contemplating on changing this integral part of the web site. There are several great institutions like LOGO MOJO that does this professionally and I am weighing my options. If I come to perfect my logo design then the rest would just follow. It's one of the things that I'm trying to accomplish before the year ends. I know that is a long time but it's nice to start early eh?!

If that pushes through I might need to change the site template too. That is going to be another story. I love of having the idea of going ultra modern and professional looking. How in the world would a cow do that? I don't have any idea but I must say that I have already survived the trials and struggles of maintaining this for the past few years. How could I go wrong? I know I can do this!

It's My Birthday Today!

I've never felt so blessed. That is actually an understatement. My friends and relatives have flooded my wall of birthday greetings and awesome gifts arrived at home. What else could I ask for? I know this weekend will be fully booked of celebrations since my day fell on a work week. Hope those wine stores don't run out of Chilean or Italian ones since they are my favorite. It will spark a festive mood and we'll surely be partying until the morning comes. I personally would like to thank everyone who made my day special. Imagine 170 people and still counting are posting there. Not to mention those awesome stars that mentioned me in TWITTER too!

Take a look at this!

See how blessed I am that even these celebrities took time to greet me?! I know how busy they are but they took time to do this on my special day! I know there will be more of this and I hope I could get some time to celebrate with them too. Wine and Cheese party sounds nice at this time of the year. If I could get those special ones and have it paired with fabulous cheese from other parts of the world I'm sure this birthday would be perfect!


Thank you so much everyone! Next up my on line friends! Cheers!

Daily Moo's 09072010

I was trying my best not to talk about the hostage crisis but the news this evening was full of them. Funny thing is, they emphasize on the things like inability of police to do their jobs, loss of guidelines, handbook and stuff like that. Heads will roll but there seems to be no major culprit; on who's head is gonna roll once the investigation ends. Can they fire Lim? the policemen? They also almost died you know. That and the tools they need were not there, how can they in the end blame themselves?!

Jojo just released a new album, you should get one too anyway its all for free! Just go to http://rap-up.bandcamp.com/ and click on the download links. Oh I am so inlove with her! She's going to end up on my playlist while working out in the gym. Add @jojoistheway on your twitter accounts too. Her interaction with KC Montero and Cassandra Bongga is one way to spend you day on twitter. I specifically like her second track Running on Empty. Feels good someone writes like that.

I hate Justin Bieber and I can't explain why. I feel like he's the second coming of April Boy Regino. Nuff said! People might get mad at me but hey its just me!

Just saw from a friend's status... the name Bob Ross. He was the inspirational painter I used to watch in Channel 9 when I was a kid. He was the host and main attraction in "The Joy of Painting". I know how geeky that sounds but hey, I learned how to do proper painting of a tree when he did it on TV in the late 80's. Right Zai?! Haha!

I don't like textmates, they kinda give me the creeps. Cringe! I find ladies in clubs and bars but never initiate text messages for romance. Should I learn to do that?! Heheh. Nah, I think its really not my cup of tea.

I think I love Mitch Dulce's blog. Makes me want to go to London. Spend the time with Reading Festivals and stuff like that. Very fashion forward too! I need to learn a thing or two about that since I am into Fashion photography. I'm thinkin about a collection too that I need to take shots of. Can I get into a runway show soon?! Puhleeease!!!!

I renamed Daily Rants into Daily Moo's! So I get to still keep the theme of my blog =) Cute huh?!

Oh wait.... I think I have a meeting now. See you guys later. Tataaaaaa! Out!

AND THE WINNER IS.....

This was unanimously voted by 5 of my friends yesterday and to you CONGRATULATIONS!
