The Cary Santiago Show

Celebrating his 25th Anniversary in the Fashion Industry, The Cary Santiago Show (presented by Metro Magazine as MetroWear Icon) at the Isla Ballroom of The Shangrila Hotel Edsa last night October 13, 2014 was attended by famous celebrities and clients from the high society. And it was such an honor to be invited to witness this occasion.  

I had a great time watching the show. It was close to perfection, only the genius of Cary Santiago can deliver

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!

What I am Wearing: Top: Sweater from Forever21Man, Jeans from Folded&Hung, Shoes from Payless, Eyewear  Ray-Ban Matte Transparent Mirror Aviator Sunglasses

Top: Vintage TEE, Eyewear, Transition Glasses from Rayban

Wearing, a hand-me-down Shirt from my good friend Bolts, Watch from Kenneth Cole, Khaki pants from Bench Ray-ban Eyewear for Accessories

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!

What I am wearing: Top; Forever21, Walking Shorts; Penshoppe, Arm Candy by SM Accessories, Watch by Kenneth Cole, Eyewear by Calvin Klien, Footwear by Birkenstock

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,

Bibo

BACK TO SCHOOL

It has been years since I was out from college. And I am forever grateful for the learnings I gain from one of the best institutions in the world.

So for this "back to school" photo-ops with Joseph and for Jolly's Men's make-up  portfolio, there shouldn't be any other place to shoot than my home for 5 years--- UP Diliman.

I still imagine going back schooling and further my studies and here's probably what I'd be wearing if I were a school boy again (Mostly local retails to meet the budget, but I will definitely vouch the quality and the comfort).

I could still pass as a college dude, yes? Hahaha

1st look:

What I am wearing: Black Top from F&H, Jeans from Fubu, Cardigan from Memo, Sling Bag from Bally

2nd look:

What I'm wearing: College Button Down Top (Bench), Pants (FUBU), Watch (Kenneth Cole), Bracelet ( iMorellato)

3rd Look:

What I'm Wearing: Plaids that I used to sell for Bazaar 

(A blog has been posted about my love affair with plaid last year for some of my most favorite pieces)

Ooops, here's more: BTS from the photoshoot

SEe you aRound

(and my attempt for freeverse poetry. Nothing personal though. hinugot sa lumang karanasan)



Why am I so weirdly sentimental about you?

We’re still friends and I’m not sure whether to be eternally grateful or heartbroken.

We both know that this isn’t going to work out in the end. Especially since neither of us is trying. But, in case you forgot, I love you and always will.

I keep hoping that by the time this gets posted, we’ll be together again. But I guess it’s safe to say you will always be the one that got away.
