KUMAGCOW Goes to The Ultimate Taste Test Event 2.0

It was a couple of emails to Ms Rache Diaz, a bucket load of enviousness from the previous attendees, and the great morning travel that made me go to this one of a kind foodie event called The Ultimate Taste Test Event 2.0!

No other than renowned MAVEN Mr. Anton Diaz from OURAWESOMEPLANET.COM was there to get our taste buds all jittery and excited on this great Sunday, Sept 13th, 11.30AM till 1:30PM morning at the Two Serendra, Fort Bonifacio Global City. This was the first foodie event I attended aside from the regular KUMAGCOW food reviews which I do every now and then while on a diet LOL. Armed with Trish (my Nikon D60), Kit (my kit lens), and Ziggy (my 70-300mm Sigma APO DG MACRO Lens) I was there at around 10:00AM thinking there were not too much foodies around so I grabbed my daily dose of caffeine in Starbucks and sat down lounging like I was in a state of shock of some sort. The clock struck 11:00AM and I went to the venue and found these few people:







What I meant about a "few" was "200 FOODIES"! LOL

I was in a state of shock when I got my ticket inside the event. I met a couple of people from gym too, imagine that! They gave me a foodie magazine copy I could bring home to Mom so she can read food all day. Not only that, I think we ran out of seats! LOL I did not know you could fit that much people in a small place heheh.



Sir Ivan doing his thing!


It was awesome as the planet we live on, there were 17 food suppliers all lined up and Sir Ivan Dy was also explaining/interviewing the people behind them. It was awesome how they got them all in one place.

There were also tons of food choices too which was really great IMHO. I tried to arduously taste everything in site and even buy a couple of them inside (the drinks were awesome too!). I got to talk to some of them for my future articles and got a couple of shots for their posts which you will be seeing soon on this site. Forgive me for posting them a little late I was doing something (okay I admit, I wanted to see Sir Anton's choices first LOL!) and saw that I was quoted a lot of times in his own article. Geeze am I supposed to say that?! =) I was also seen on some of his pictures, I was quite shy so I did not approach him when we went home.



Here is the famous Sir Anton Diaz, and his CANON!!! =P


Over all, the event was a success... it was a convergence of meticulous palates. Every one had their own opinion. I'll let you know how each of them fared and probably finish the food reviews before December LOL imagine I would be writing for around 17 suppliers. I have their contact numbers too so just wait and see where you can buy them as well. I bought the fruit konjaku juices and plan to also order from the Brazo De Mercedes lady which were a sure fire hit on that day! Wait till I get my hands typing for them too! =) What's even great is that everything that they got for that foodie event all went to the construction of the St. Michael the Archangel Church in Fort Bonifacio. I didn't know foodies can be that good in the heart too! =)


This is just a peek at the food we ate! =)


Oh by the way, I want to be in the The Ultimate Taste Test Event 3.0, they said it's going to be bigger than this last one!50 suppliers and a thousand foodies just means its HUGE!!!! =)

Ouch!

Something is really bothering me in the office. I am stressed, I have lots of deadlines to meet and I have a lot of reports to make. I wonder where and when I am going to start. Aside from the obvious hustle and bustle I encounter in the office, this chair is really bugging me. You ask why? I would not be comfortable in something that does not support my back. If you move, the wheels do not even move on smooth carpet. I wonder where I could go to replace this; I better get administration to check on it soon. I need comfortable Office Chairs!



It feels like I was riding a horse for hours when this problem started. It hurts a lot that I only get to spend only a few hours then stand on command so I would not get bed sores all over my back. My office pillow did not prove to be useful in this ordeal. I wish to get those designer ones from SPACIFY. Those are definitely better!

KUMAGCOW's Pre Nup Photography

When I went out with my so called friends from the dark side of Photography the D60KREW last weekend, I had the chance to tackle another great thing which is PRE NUP photos. This is the time you capture sweet moments of a couple who will be getting married soon. I had the chance to shoot them because the photographer was so busy shooting them from another side of the lake/dam where we were. It was fun though because aside from the ducks there was another subject I would be able to shoot because most probably everyone else was concentrating on those birds LOL.

I wanted to shoot them quite unaware so I would be able to capture a natural moment instead of a staged one. I wonder if it worked because they were actually looking at me a couple of times. I guess they were aware that some photographers wanted them to pose too LOL. Their photographer had a CANON body and a longer gray lens. I had my handy dandy Trish aka Nikon D60 and Ziggy aka Sigma 70-300 APO DG MACRO =)

Aren't they sweet?! =)







Well whoever they are I wish them well! =)

What You Need Now!

I have been posting away in this site for about three years and I have encountered a lot of problems accessing it from different parts of the world. I am usually the one who configures everything from the FTP site to the design, deciphering CSS AND HTML codes but I have a couple of times had problems with hosting my site. I wanted to find a reliable one because I get about a couple of thousand views each week. I would want to make their experience as good as mine.

Being the geek that I was, I looked for thousands of pages in the Internet to find that one special place most web masters recommend to host their site. As a budding publisher myself, I never really thought about prices because I depended on quality instead. If they can get to satisfy other web masters and owners, then I could probably be in their shoes too. I will probably choose one that exactly meets my demands as a regular writer. With that in mind, I know web hosting will be a cinch for them. They would also probably recommend something that would be cost efficient. We work hard for the money!

If I also plan to expand my on line businesses then I could always ask their experts about where to get a reliable ECOMMERCE Solution. That would really be a big help for me and beginners in this industry. I hope they never get to see the horror stories I had before when I was a newbie! Make the right choice!
