You'll Have Fun at Camp N in Nuvali

Do you think you have friends who still don't know how to ride a bike? Or you perhaps? Or are you the person who can ride a bike and don't know how to do mountains, trails and stuff like that? Well, here's the thing, CAMP N in Nuvali in Sta. Rosa Laguna now has a new facility designed just for people like you. CAMP N is now doing programs for NON BIKERS, Cross Country/Mountain Bike beginners, because they want you to learn MORE especially if you are 7 years and up!

What's even great is that they have experts to train you, they also have trails where you can test your skill if it's enough to survive the outside world. I feel so invigorated while being there in midst of nature, the trees, the grass, the birds without the bees. It was a way to connect with nature and we're not even doing that these days in the city. Camp N is just a few hours away from Manila, and biking as never been so fun! Did you know I love it that much that I learned to ride a bike when I was 4 years old? I think we need to do this more often, and have some fun. Now those who can't ride a bike, don't have an excuse anymore. Get your family and friends go too. I had fun!

I'm Enjoying My Tough Backpack From OUTDOOR PRODUCTS!

Just got this pack from Urbanize: Supplies for Urban Life with stores located at Gateway Mall and Shangrila Mall. I was surprised to find out what was inside but the note on the pack probably summed it up.

Got so excited seeing it was about bags. Aside from shoes, this is my next kryptonite. I still have some bags in my closet that I haven't used because I didn't want them to get damaged. This one already says that they're going to be TOUGH. So I did the next best thing and took it out of the paper bag.

OMG it's OUTDOOR Products! How can you not love this backpack?! The material is so tough nobody could probably tear this apart with their bare hands. Aside from that, this thing still work with the classic school backpack design. It won't be too bulky, but it's got room enough to fit your stuff like clothes, books or gadgets. I was actually also fond of seeing those straps on the zippers because it'll make opening or closing your bag really easy. You can also see that the color is bright and the textile they used on this isn't cheap. I can tell just by touching it.

It's also well made because on a quality standpoint I'm not seeing any defects on the nooks and crannies of this bag. It's all so clean and probably passed international standards. I'm not surprised though because in the few years that I've known this brand, they're on a league of their own. That, and the price is so reasonable unlike some brands on the same quality level but costs an arm and a leg literally. I'm loving this Vintage Day Pack!

I've also checked out their 2014 Spring-Summer catalogue and amazingly found more backpacks in really cool designs plus some in ultra suede bottoms. You'll get that weathered effect and dirt won't stick to the bag for all the right reasons. It won't be dirty fast.

It seems that I've got this bag on the bag! It's a Basic Daypack model and they've got it in different colors. If you want something basic that's also got so much room for your stuff, then I highly suggest you get this one!

For those that often go to the gym, this one is perfect. It's their Boston Bag that's available in different dimensions. Get the biggest one so you can fit your workout clothes, shoes and toiletry so you can shower after a game or gym time. 

There are also some bigger bags available in stores. Don't worry ladies because you also have some handbags that are well crafted and styled with you the user in mind.

OUTDOOR PRODUCTS are available at Duty Free Fiesta Mall, Fashion Rack (Baguio, NAIA 3, Subic), Landmark Makati and Trinoma, Lonely Planet, Robinsons Department Store (Abreeza Mall, Calasiao, Ermita, Galleria, Magnolia, Palawan, Pampanga), Rustans (Alabang, Gateway, Makati, Tower), SM (Davao, Las Pinas, Lipa, Makati, North Edsa and Pampanga) and Tripologie (Alabang, Bonifacio High Street, Tripologie East Wood).

Now that there's more places where you can get these wonderful bags from, make sure your next purchase of a school or everyday bag comes from OUTDOOR PRODUCTS. I'm enjoying mine right now and I'll take it around for a spin in events. This will house my camera and gadgets. Hope yours become an everyday thing too. ^_^

The Great Outdoors! Hang Ten's Summer-Spring 2012 Collection

Philippine Fashion Week is just around the corner and what glorious way to start the season in my site but by showing you something special this Summer - Spring Season 2012 courtesy of the good people from Hang Ten.

Hang Ten was one of the staple shirts I always have in my closet. Classy and perfect for any day and any occasion. I didn't really run out of it because even my folks tell me I look good in it. It has surpassed just being a classic shirt, even before it was always about the Californian culture. Even from the standpoint of living in a tropical country it wasn't normal to surf here back in the days; and that was one of the reason why I had to have it... why I needed Hang Ten.

This season they its one thing they let you in with that feeling; this time they let you experience how it is to dress up and be in the outdoors. Quite remarkable and impressive right from the get go. Shall we start?

Camp Hang Ten

If you can't get out of town, the next best thing to do is camp out in the woods. That simply commands a couple of things but the essentials are pretty fabulous including the things inspired from the gears and stuff you need to wear in order to survive. In hindsight it is like fashion, sometimes you have to sacrifice in order to look good. Hang Ten on the other hand makes everything comfortable yet they never sacrifice the look. You still have plaid, earth tones, leather and classic Banana Republic looking pieces that's a bang for the buck! Nobody said you need to spend a lot just to look good right? Imagine looking like you just came in from the wilderness, scruffy and all... that's the inspiration and by golly it's proven to bring out good looks as usual!

Just HOT!

Cotton Project

Think about the role of Wolverine in the popular XMEN series. Do you remember the part where he was a woodsman? If you see the aesthetic that runs into the style of their clothes, that's exactly the inspiration this other collection from Hang Ten runs. Plaid has never been better, so does the jeans. It's so nice to see feeling the breeze all over again whilst wearing some pieces from this joint.

Escaping the norm and getting the most comfortable things in your wardrobe is essential. For the rugged ones it'll surely be a hit!

It doesn't have to be complicated. It can actually be just EASY. With Hang Ten you will get it.

Cool!

Heritage Collection

With its roots coming from the Californian side of the world, Hang Ten embraces their heritage by following the surf and sun aesthetic.Why not wear pieces that is intended for the beach, the sand and the waves? It's the perfect way to look sexy without showing too much skin. The outfit lineup in this collection reflects how much they pay homage to something quite unique to the Hang Ten brand.

Hang Ten impressed me with this collection so now it's your turn and rush out your favorite stores/kiosks throughout the country and find out for your self why you love HANG TEN! \m/

Roanna Torralba: Registers Best in the Camera!

I just want to show you guys some of my best shots of this young model we got for our ECOPARK shoot a few Sundays ago. She is Roanna Torralba and she was kind of shy at first. She did not talk that much but I guess she did loosen up a bit while shooting. She was pretty confident in front of the cam and as you can see she registers quite good. I wanted to shoot with her from the time they posted the initial photos of them since she was totally different, I find her so expressive in the eyes even if she was a little too Asian. It was so nice because we did not actually have that much of a problem directing her what to do as far as poses were concerned and she did a pretty good job of showing the clothes. The framing and the avant garde theme I wanted to show on cam was all there, I think most of us thought she was tall and looked like Joyce Jimenez on test photos but I guess that is what you get when the model indeed has the X Factor. A great shoot comes after because she knew how to do it and projection was a cinch for her. Roanna Torralba is awesome and I hope that I get the chance to shoot with her again sometime soon!


















I hope I won't have problems with models the next time we shoot, because frankly art direction is a different thing for photographers. Posing wise, it would be ridiculous for us to teach models right? Hahahah!
