My Birthday Shoot

3 days before my actual birthday.

I had an amazing time doing this shoot. It was a perfect weather, almost gloomy, to do an outdoor pictorial. And I am happy with the result. This has been one of the many collaborations I did with the photographer, and I feel at my most comfortable state whenever he clicks his camera.

Location: The Fort Strip

I truly appreciate and value the ways with which my real and true friends have shared their thoughts and ideas-- and guided and misguided me somehow. The last twelve months have been extremely stimulating, rewarding (as I came to know a lot of friends from my work with Congress, to Xtera Outsourcing, to some gigs as well as the Workshop I have attended for a couple of months). I have disabled my wall post because I wanted to receive some private messages or greetings my friends wanted to say. Though some have made it their status for today or shared and tagged me on pictures which I have to accept because-- well, it is such a sweet gesture! and from time to time (real time) I have been posting pictures of what's goin' on today. As this day is very special for me.I have a lot to be thankful for and I can really name a few who have made my last year's meaningful and yes- life changing!

TEDF, looking back, I wouldn't be the man I am today if I didn't share that adventure with you, may it be a good or lousy acting hahaha-- that was all part of the journey. I know I have so much more to learn. Thank you for the impact you made in my life especially my workshop classmates (you know who you are) and Direk Joey.

Hey Summer!

Summer is almost here and it's the season for an open-toed footwear (though I am not really a big fan). Thanks to Chris of  www.pinoyguyguide.com for giving me these perks, I got my first pair of Birkenstock sandals. Last Sunday I went to their branch in Glorietta Mall Makati, and I must say that their staff were so accommodating they helped me decide what to choose among their product lines. I opted the classic type, I've been told that these pair are the more popular ones, two-strap slip-ins popularly known as the "Arizona" line. They are very comfortable to wear; you know you're getting quality construction and comfort that comforms to your own feet - even if the pricetag seems a little high.

Until then, this Summer; Do what makes you happy and don't care what other's think. Nothing should hold you back!

Enjoy,

Live a Little Bit!

Cafe Republiq

Newport Mall
2/F Resorts World Manila, Newport Mall, Newport Blvd

Pasay

(0917) 550-8888
A good meeting area before going clubbing to Opus or Republiq. This is Cafe Republiq!

You won't really notice this wonder even if you are regular of Newport Mall. I mean, primarily people visit this area for casino and this is the home of the country's premier clubspot REPUBLIQ!

Coolai and I decided to go clubbing this particular weekend, and since we were too early for the club's opening, we decided to conveniently have a quick bite and drink a little beside the club. And this is how I came to know more about this Cafe! hahaha.

Let the good times roll!

Our Order:

DIPS & CRISPS: Spinach and Parmesan Cheese Gratin at PhP200.00

SALAD: Chpped Chicken, corn, tomato greens, peanuts & sesame vinaigrette at PhP335.00

QUESADILLAS:  Roast Chicken, fresh cilantro, fire roasted tomato salsa and cheese PhP240.00

We were suppose to hang out and just kill time in this Cafe before hitting the club but we ended up finishing 2 bottles of wine. I'd say you won't really notice the time if you enjoy the company of your friends and a good setting to back it up!

Until our next adventure, and yes "Plunge boldly into the thick of life, and seize it where you will, it is always interesting"

Good times at 121 Grille and Restaurant

121 Grille and Restaurant

Location: Goethe Institute 

L.P. Leviste Street (near Villar Street)
Salcedo Village, Makati City
Tel:  892 8301

Looking for a good place to have a couple of beers and pulutan after office hours with some friends and officemates?  Then 121 is a place for you, right within the heart of Makati.

(What I'm Wearing: Top:OxygenTee, Jacket by TerraNova, Jeans by Forever21; Shoes by Kickers)

The Gloomy lights of Salcedo Village

The 121 in Salcedo Village is set outdoors, in the roofed entrance area of an office building, which means the staff will probably find space for you even if you show up with more than just a handful of people. There's a staircase and you can just park at the entrance of the building if you worry not to see your car being parked at the street. And need not worry, no towing in this area.

Enjoy after work the Filipino style: alfresco, with an ice cold San Miguel Beer ("below zero").

My second visit (in a more relaxed get-up and highlighting my newly purchased Kenneth Cole casual shoes); I ordered the exact same thing- MOJITO and Below-Zero San Mig Light for washing (haha) accompanied by their version of Buffalo Wings.

Until our next adventure,
