summer days

Again, I found another gem hiding in my hard disks. It’s not really a great photo, by any means, but this seems to be another best seller in my Stock Photo sites.

Taken in Boracay (in front of Friday’s), circa 2005.

rummaging

I was rummaging through my hard disks again and found this gem of a photo. It’s one of my first photos that I ever put up on my Stock Photo sites and is still one of my best sellers.

This was take in Mandala Spa, Boracay.

As I was walking up to our condo unit, I decided to take a snap of the fountain one of the buildings, with the rising moon, as the backlight.

Billy Rock

IMG_1186
Last June 26, amidst very little fanfare, I was treated to another Bistro experience. BillyRock, the newest bar and restaurant hangout in Streetscape Shangri-la Plaza (and the [Bistro] Groups newest local offering), held a welcoming / opening party to celebrate their brand new establishment.

And much like you would expect from a Bistro Group outlet, the quality of the food, service and drinks was top notch — with a seemingly endless variety of choices. And as a guest for that evening, I was treated to a generous offering of free-flowing drinks and order til you drop food.

Philippine Fashion Week — RTW

Yesterday, I headed over to the Main Atrium of SM MOA to check out Philippine Fashion Weeks Ready to Wear Collection. I do not consider myself a fashionista — in fact, I dress kind of dull… conservatively. But of course, I was there for the photo opportunity, and more importantly, to support my friend Julius Tarog.

On display at the RTW collection show were designers Ava Paguyo, Eddie Castro, Efren Ocampo, Greta Castro, Julius Tarog, Nicky Martinez, Nikki Sonico, Pencil Diestra, Reian Mata, Ricky Abad, Twinkle Ferraren and Ziggy Savella.

Here are a few photos from the event.

Out of Focus Photography

Lately, I’ve been tripping on a different kind of photography — out of focus light capturing. I’m not really sure if there is actually a branch of photography with this focus (no pun intended) or name, but I just decided to brand is as such.

Here are a few samples taken during a bit of free time in the Fully Booked Blogger’s Event.


Up Dharma Down @ Yehey!

Terno Records artist Up Dharma Down came over to the Yehey office for a quick chat event to promote their new album, ‘Bipolar’.

Vollé @ Club 650

It’s been four years of volleyball over at Club 650, and Yehey has been the official online sponsor, since its inception. However, it was only recently that TeamYehey joined the corporate division of Vollé @ Club 650.

Here’s a photo of the team, as well as some snaps from another game…

As expected, the food was delish.
