Ciao to Long Hair!

I've been thinking of cutting my hair for a long time, this morning when I woke up I felt like it was "the day" to really go for it. I lost around 12 inches of hair, and it was funny how a lot of people at the salon noticed and gave different reactions. The one who sweeps hair off the floor even had to return three times on my spot. I remember when I was a kid I used to have nightmares over getting a haircut, now I don't really care :)

I'm so proud of my short hair I even asked my brother to take a picture of it. Here's my new cut:

Hello 2011!

Happy New Year to all! Just dropping by to show you what I saw from my roof today:

first it was just a few pops, then it became like this...

I seriously think my neighbors are huge show-offs.

Happy New Year!

First Exhibit Ever

Hey everyone! Just a quick post, yesterday I went to the exhibit I talked about in the previous post.  This is my first time to have my photo exhibited, so it's quite a milestone for me. What's more, the one who contacted us for this exhibit said they're thinking of putting the photos in a coffee table book. I'm so excited :)

Have a great day ahead!

I Love Taguig!

Its been a month since I last blogged. Wow. Last night I was talking to some photography people and the conversation drifted to blogging. They all seemed proud of their blogs, while I didn't even want to mention mine. I am such a bad blogger. Why haven't I blogged for the whole month? I don't know. I was trying to think of what to blog about and thought of sharing some of the things I've been busy with this past month. I was recently invited by the city government of Taguig to be part of a team to shoot certain landmarks as part of their new campaign called "I Love Taguig". Taguig is relatively the new concrete jungle in the making here in Metro Manila, next to Makati and Ortigas, and the new mayor is looking for ways to further promote the city. I worked for a short while in Taguig before and was surprised to find that there was actually more culture there than just the office buildings most of us usually associate with the name of the city. Here are some shots I took of Taguig:

Since this post had nothing to do with fashion, and this blog is trying to be a bit more about fashion, I took some photos of kids skateboarding at night in the parking lot and kind of liked the effect.  It looks like it can be used for a local jean brand.

Have a great day everyone!

Highlights: Lyle Ibanez at the Philippine Fashion Week

Some photos I got from the Lyle Ibanez show:

What I liked about this show is the androgyne of the men's clothes. I can totally see myself wearing these cowl necks and glitter shorts.

Highlights: Freego at the Philippine Fashion Week

Here are some photos I took from the Freego show:  

 Every year my cousins and I go and support this jean brand and Wrangler by watching their shows.  I like this year's show better than last year, but I wasn't able to catch the whole thing because I was late.  Not being biased here but I actually believe Freego jeans are really rational for your denim needs. They have a good selection of jean variety to choose from, and the price is ok for their quality.

Black and Gold Stripes

The other day me and my brother coincidentally wore an outfit that looked so similar to each other I couldn't help but take a photo of it.  We both wore a black and gold striped tee with dark jeans, and we looked like crazy adult twins dressed up by obsessive compulsive parents who always want things to match.

Yesterday I met with an editor at a new magazine, it isn't final yet, but we might tie up for a shoot.  I hope it pushes through.  I saw the maiden issue of the mag and I liked it, though it's 80% catalogue and just 20% editorial. I think the people working there were nice too, so I really hope it pushes through.
Right now the country is expecting to be hit by another typhoon. It's already raining outside, and though I should be worried about the calamity, my mood is great.  I'm beginning to think I like rain more than the sun these days. 
Keep warm, or cool, wherever you are!
