The Fountain of Youth at Rodeo Drive!

Thursday, June 24, 2010


When I look at myself in the mirror, I do see quite a remarkable good looking face. I seldom complain about the way I look because my friends and family make it a point to praise me every now and then about how young I look compared to my real age. I never tell them unless they already know how old I am. I also have a specific on line age I use for people who continually ask and offend me most of the time. That's going to be another story but if ever I had the chance; I would definitely consider plastic surgery for men. I wouldn't want to look old you know!

I mean who does want to look old in the first place. Maybe those young teens who want to enter clubs. I did that when I was in high school. It changed my outlook in life big time and got me to think about things more clearly. I specifically noticed how people look at me when I was still in my early teens and how it was totally different when I got into college. Maybe the drinking, smoking and partying somehow aged me faster than what I imagined. I can't really blame life itself because I have been pretty abusive a couple of years ago. I drank and partied a lot like there was no tomorrow!

If I visit the US next year I'll make necessary arrangements to meet a world famous beverly hills plastic surgeon. That is the place to be for the procedures that I want to be done anyway! They have the best doctors from reputable schools too so I would not want to worry about anything at all if it's going to be done in these clinics. I would also love to visit Rodeo Drive too for the latest fashion trends. Almost all the fashion houses and brands are there. What more could I ask for?! Well maybe a little beverly hills liposuction would do! Ha-ha! My tummy is getting a little bigger than I anticipated! Are you guys for these procedures or not?! Let me know!

Art Influenced Me

My recent shots have been published in Issue 32 of DPP. I'm so glad I got in the bible for photographers!

I think I have been extremely artistic these past few months. The thing that I thought I didn't have a niche for just knocked on my door one day then boom! I got my photos published in the photography bible DPP. I was shocked to tell you honestly but then I think I have labored a lot since the day I held my camera. Good things are happening and I hope this isn't the last of it. I have been also doing a couple of digital art pieces along with my photos. I must have been influenced by great ones such as Schimmel, LIBRODO, LUOKO and other great ones here and abroad. I know with more workshops and classes in this field I will surely be better in what I do.

Art was never in my portfolio; but because of the great work I have been seeing on line it must have done something good in my head. This makes me a lot oriented about what path I choose to be in the next couple of years. I'm sure there will be more great masters to encounter and art work that would influence my output in the next photo shoots. Be it in the lines of fashion or the arts I would definitely have to work on it because I want to excel in everything that I do. This is what I am striving for!

Insurance Lessons Learned

Monday, June 21, 2010


How can I forget the time when I first got into a car accident? I remember it vividly... that comes together with the argument and big fight I had with the other party too. That was a few months ago but now my insurance agent is hounding me of horror stories. He claims some parts are not going to be paid for. I said "this is what I get for getting mediocre institutions as my insurance provider". I would like to look for a better one just like those in Los Angeles Car Insurance. There is no comparison believe me!


I know that the Car Insurance Los Angeles has is better evidently in terms of coverage and benefits. Everyone needs a reputable one so when the time comes you need their help they wouldn't be the first one to give you problems. I experienced this one already and I did not follow my instincts of getting some information on the Internet first before blabbing about policy indicated in fine print. I learned a mighty good lesson and probably next time I'll get Los Angeles Auto Insurance to be a standard on what I need when I get the next set of wheels ha-ha! That's because I want to make it right! I better call them now at 1-800-475-6840 and get that free insurance quote fast!

Kamuning Elementary School Batch 1991 Reunion





*Here's a look back at us 20 years ago*



Hi Classmates! Hi Batchmates! =)

I'm not much of an organizer... but then again it has been ages when we last met (like 20 years!) so I would really want this to push through. I would like to propose a small gathering. Some of us all have something scheduled already so I'm setting this to next month, particularly August 7th... that is a Saturday. It won't be on your family day and it wouldn't be on your day for going out (use friday for that!).

I know most of us are out of the country (hence they won't be there) but some of us are still in QC or nearby places and that's what I want to have organized first. We'll probably be doing it on a restaurant, I don't know if lunch or dinner would be best so I would like to get some suggestions from you guys where we could do this. Lunch is favorable for Mommies and Dinner - evening would be best for us guys + 2 bottles of beer right (of course!)?!

So here's the thing, I would like you to have the whole August 7th reserved for anything that we would do as early as now. The venue will remain "to be announced". As for expenses for food and drinks, chipping in wouldn't be so bad...

I would also like to ask you guys to remain online and check your private messages from time to time... some of you gave me your contact numbers, I'll have you updated there too as much as I can. I hope in this busy lives we have; we can still find time to meet and catch up on stories. This is the time to reconnect with old friends so please reserve that Saturday for us. Get it?! Got it?! Good! =)

Bikes and Girls

Thursday, June 17, 2010


Who hasn't dreamed of their own HARLEY DAVIDSON bikes?! I guess everyone does have that certain urge to own one. It's the machismo and impact of men in leather probably that makes it so sexy. I want one of my own so I am looking for the perfect one now. I want it big because I am not the typical Filipino built and I need more horsepower than the usual bikes since I have that habit of bragging about it too. I need to satisfy my wishes for the perfect one and fit the budget. I also know that bikes and girls fit together perfectly and a biker match would probably be also in the works. I want a lady that would be able to ride with me into the sunset. If they would be able to do that; then that would be great!

I'll be dating one of them soon and enjoy the life I've always wanted. I'm single now and if it comes to a point that this liking to women motor heads would answer my fit to get married too then that is a big bonus! If my friends would pick up the lifestyle I have then I would be glad to help them out too. There are thousands of women we can meet on line that have the same wants and haves right now. I would play cupid and never bat an eyelash for them! After all I'm pretty sure I could get one in a jiffy!

When Angels Fall Down From Heaven

Let's go back to the wonderful world of photography again. This time I'll be showing some of my shots from the Angels and Demons Photoshoot we had last Sunday. The wonderful people at Digital Katipuneros has shown remarkable themes these past few shoots. I guess the anniversary made everything fall into place. The next ones also had some celebrities on it but we'll keep it mum until I get to shoot them. You know how it works right?

So now here are some of my shots for the Angels and Demons Photoshoot. Please wait for my Demons Set also. Jackie as always has showed her incredible beauty... very effortlessly. This was a joy to shoot so I hope you enjoy em alright?!

Here it is...

As you can see I played a lot with different treatments on the photos and some of them are going to be in layouts too. I would probably come up with those layouts as soon as I finish with Mae's sets. Right now I think I got the hang of doing a fine job with the skin tones. This relatively is a little saturated but it is on the mid ranges so its not as annoying as some other photographers actually do. I did these all with my 35mm and I must say it has performed quite well. I was thinking of doing more head shots but it was being a little repetitive. I have not done what I imagined on a perfect photoshoot yet but hey I think I have pretty great shots right?! =)

Thank you to Jackie and Mae, to our MUA who did a great job on this theme, and of course Digital Katipuneros! Great job guys!

Technology Infrastructure and its Benefits


The Internet has been a mighty tool for economies and marketing strategists alike. People purchase things on line and the convenience you can get from all of these things is phenomenal. Some institutions can even deliver purchased products to your doorstep for free. The value of internet marketing and its benefits has outweighs the problem this medium has brought about in the industry. Harnessing its power is essential so we as a country would be able to perform well in a globalized economy.

The Philippines has a lot to offer; and if we do not try and cope up with the technology standards of our neighbors in South East Asia... there will be a vacuum for raw talented people. Our economy will remain stagnant due to poor network infrastructure and we would not be able to hit out economic goals no matter how much we want to compete with other countries. I would like to have my badge of honor set in keeping a safe but constant GDP growth and have that felt by the people I love in the Philippines. It's the perfect prerogative any leader should have. Now that we have elected a president who promises a better path to economic stability; I wish he takes the time to listen and heed the call for better infrastructure as we face globalization head on! Who's with me on this plan?! Let's go!
