Spiral, Sofitel Hotel, Manila

It has been a while since a special occasion to be celebrated by the family. We wanted something different as a change of pace to our usual customs and decided wisely to splurge on this place. Food is excellent. Everything is to die for, even the ambiance and interiors.

Another 365 Days

JUNE 11 1983 - Fate spewed me out to live in this world.

I was always thinking about a birthday post. And never thought of what to post. At the last minute, I decided on this.

Since I am a photographer, I amassed a collection of my favorite photos and memories for the year that was since my last birthday. This takes you to a glimpse of what the days brought and the moments captured 'till this years birthday came along.

It's another dose of LOVE.MADNESS.HATE.HOPE.SORROW.INFINITE JOY.

Here's to life. And thank god I am still alive and living.

These are my top 3 favorites. Click on the images to see the rest of the photos that did not make it.

Here's to another 365 days.

Happy Birthday Aries!

April 23, 2009
Don Henrico's Manila
I've heard and experienced a lot of birthday gimmicks in restos, but this one is new. Imagine the service crew shoving a big birthday hat on my friend's head and singing her birthday wishes while it is not her birthday.

Bagets, Junalen Edward for short, will be going to Singapore to work. Leaving all of her friends here in Manila to wait for her gifts for them *wink.

I-Post
ELJ Building, ABS-CBN
When people get bored, they grab something. Some grab a book. Most grab their digital portable gaming consoles like PSPs. I, when boredom slams me into dullness, grab my ever lovely Boris my camera. Although, I admit I always try to find a chance and reason to shoot. But, this time I really was bored while waiting for my material at the editing bay and I decided to shoot a bit to pass the time.

Tuloy Po Kayo sa Balai

--Feeling Twilight! Ylang-Ylang Leaves straight from the trees!--

March 28-29, 2009
Club Balai Isabella
Talisay, Batangas

We were invited by the owner of the Resort to this very welcoming and very homey place right smack below the mountains of Tagaytay. My Friend, Chard, was hit by a very nasty migraine and the owner of the place had her people pick some Ylang - Ylang blossoms from their estate. All in all it was a very tranquil and very fun place to visit even for the weekends. Try hitting it up on google for their very affordable rooms and villas.

Live in the Flesh!

--A Drag queen at O bar, Malate--

March 24, 2008
My close friend and former housemate Ninoy migrated to Singapore to work in better pastures. But, homesickness struck him and went on a vacation for a short time back here. We had a get together that started with a videoke-thon at Music 21 then ended up with an all-nighter at O-bar Malate. Then we have the girl in the pic...
