LX3 love
A few years back, I fell in love with the Panasonic Lumix LX3. Sadly, I had to sell my old trusty to purchase the Panasonic GF1. But ever since that day I sold it, I have been hankering for the compact camera’s power and flexibility — especially in the Macro mode.
I was able to find a cheap, hardly used second-hand LX3 in the market and made the decision to grab it.
Here are a few photos…
Jewelmer presents Rhett Eala celebrating 20 years
Jewelmer, together with Collezione celebrated 20 years of Rhett Eala’s distinguished career, fittingly with a fashion show.
I purposely forgot my DSLR and brought along my trusty LX3 to take few snaps for the evening. Little did I know that it would be a bit difficult shooting a ramp show with a point and shoot. But I think some of the photos came out quite well.
Here’s a few samples:
Bohol Hits
After a hectic past few months, I was finally able to take a few days off for some R&R. Our destination: Bohol.

Anchor Connoiseur Duels
Yehey, in cooperation with Anchor held a special blogger cook off yesterday, at the Magsaysay Institute of Hospitality & Culinary Arts. The Connoisseur Duel pitted the cooking skills and imagination of the bloggers, given a short time limit with provided ingredients to plate a whole 3 course meal.
The judges on board:
1. Dorothy Ferreira, well respected pastry chef and culinary teacher.
2. Juan Miguel Borja, Senior Chef Instructor at MIHCA
3. Leah Barin, Food Service Manager for Fonterra.
At the end of the event, the judges were fairly impressed with the dishes. But more importantly, everyone had fun in the kitchen and even got to sample the food that they had slaved over.
Here are some photos from the event:

Last Friday, my good buddy Esse decided to finally tie the knot with his fiancee Joy. It was another opportunity to get together with the boys and their wives and celebrate another joyous occasion.
Here are a few photos from the day’s proceedings.

Mio fighst Cancer
Last Friday, a slew of celebrities and musicians all made their way to Music Museum in support of Mio — a five year old boy battling cancer. The show of concern was overwhelming, as the participation of so many groups and individuals was really inspiring.
Here are a few photos from the event.

Dumaguete hits
Over the supposed stormy weekend, we headed over to Dumaguete for a much needed vacation. Short, it may have been, but re-energizing, nevertheless. Here are some photos from the weekend.
Lumix LX3 firmware update
Attention all Lumix LX3 owners. Our favorite little toy has released a firmware update for us to take advantage of. Much like the iPhone upgrade to 3.0 firmware, the Lumix 2.0 firmware offers a lot of new things for the camera. Among the most notable:
-
Improved auto white balance performance. - Auto Focus speed-up.
- Recording function with an aspect ratio of 1:1 has been added.
- A white balance (WB) bracket function has been added.
- [HIGH DYNAMIC] has been added to scene mode.
- The exposure compensation and the auto bracket compensation can now be set up to ±3EV.
- Position of the guide line can now be set.
- It is now possible to display the highlights in playback mode.
- Digital red-eye removal has been modified.
For a detailed description of the improvements, as well as what’s in store for the firmware upgrade, click here.
But if you’re ready to jump in head first and download the firmware, here’s the download link, with a detailed instruction of how to install the upgrade.
Texas Roadhouse Grill
Just a few hours ago, I had an extremely fulfilling meal — and I was just taking bites in between schmoozing with the bloggers and resto management.
Texas Roadhouse Grill, with the participation of Pepsi held a sumptuous event at the TRG El pueblo branch last night and offered a wide array of dishes. From soups to salads from surf to turf, and of course, the evening was capped off with a delicious bit of dessert.
The meal commenced with a Tortilla Soup: a hearty starter packed with bits of chicken, corn and ham topped with slivers of crisp and crunchy tortillas. The soup in itself is quite filling, with all of the ingredients packed into a small bowl. Those that are into the Tex-Mex taste, this is a definite must-try.
Of course, what are starters without appetizers? To satisfy the growing hunger, the bloggers were also served the Jesse James Sampler — a platter of buffalo wings and cheese fritters just to whet the appetites.
Some birthday photos
So my 31st finally rolled around. Yes, numerically, it’s my last year on the calendar. As I had my iPhone and Lumix LX3 in tow, I started taking snaps while hanging out and going around the different places today.

Tat day
It wasn’t my tat day, but Kan’s. No photos of her tattoo, as I don’t wanna preempt her induction into the skin art circle. Instead, here are a few photos taken pre-ink+skin.
I’m with him
I need a holiday. I saw this figurine in Jay‘s office, and I thought to myself, wouldn’t it be great to just take off and leave…
Chiz bobble head
I have always found collectibles cool, and ever since I was a kid, I admired the collections of other people. I, myself, have not gotten into the hobby, as it’s a bit expensive and really serves no practical use. of course, I have on occasions, purchased a few toys out of whim (like my Beatles Yellow Submarine set), but they were the exceptions, rather than the rule.
And this new bobble head of Chiz (Escudero) is not mine. I just couldn’t pass up the opportunity for the photo op.
Hi-5 Blogger Event
A few hours ago, I had the pleasure of meeting 5 energetic Australian performers — Casey, Tim, Lauren, Stevie and Fil-Aussie Fely — otherwise known as Hi-5. And, unexpectedly, I can now truly say that I am a fan.
[L-R: Hi-5's Tim, Lauren, Casey, Fely and Stevie]
Vibrant, bubbly, lively, vigorous and colorfully dressed are some adjectives you could use to describe the quintet… but that would be an understatement. As through the course of the informal interview, we got to know them as a group and quickly realized that their energy is simply overflowing and infectious. Tim mentioned that they feed off the energy of the crowds they perform for… but on this evening, it was on reverse, and I witnessed what made these five performers appealing to toddlers, young ones and kids of all ages — their zest for life.

office space
I’ve been itching to take photos for the past few days, but I’ve been going out to a lot of meetings and been doing a lot of research in the office. As a result, my itchy trigger finger has remained unscratched. But today, I decided to look for common things around the office to shoot.
… and here are the results…
