hope you can tell me about how this one works..

working on my christmas card

2008-11-06T19:50:00.000-08:00

my first attempt....hmmm... i can easily change the colors...

my adobe illustrator self portrait experiment

2008-10-31T08:26:00.000-07:00

Adobe illustrator---i'm an addict for you...i love to do artwork and I am not that talented using my hands, but my imagination is limitless and you just release my thoughts and put it right in front of me to play with and be seen by the world... so this is only the start of the many

play...play...play....

oh isn't this sooooooooooooo much fun....

Apple Picking in Cherry Hill, Lancaster PA

2008-10-14T03:24:00.001-07:00

A very nice day, is this the Indian Summer? It is still too warm for fall and I am not complaining. It is perfect..

Yup, Annie Ursua, my room mate in the past is doing her modeling stint...and I try to do some on my own, the crops are aplenty..

And we chose the Fuji apples, and I don't know what these yellow fruits are, did not bother to ask, but anyone who does, leave the info in the comments, that will add some knowledge... but hey, not knowing some stuff will not stop the world....

Annie, trying out the goods, hmmm, I wonder if that is safe though, I was thinking you really have to wash it first. And more apple pickers....

Hmm, too much apples don't you think? and it is perfect for family time...

Time to pay the goods. 6cents per pound is the market price, with the economy turning sour, I hope my apples are sweet....

The apple picking gang..annie, lowella and Merbert, visiting from Ireland,, as I say, an Irish Filipino...hahahaha

Still it was one of the best days just to be out there, I wish I was in that air balloon.....

babels...

The View from the Eiffel Tower

2008-10-06T10:05:00.000-07:00

A clear day....

The elevator ride was packed....

But the view is breathtaking...

The air is cool.....

And walk our way down the steps....and they said they will replace this with a higher tower in the near future... but this one is just splendid....

amish county

2008-10-05T08:46:00.000-07:00

The Amish people know how to follow rules... I think they have a book somewhere to check if they are not going astray. If every one has to dress up in one way, no matter what the season is, limited colors, hairstyles and fashion....hmmm....it is a real challenge....and they are just up to it. And yes, they are still the most gentle people I know.....no Vogueing around here...sorry Anna Wintour....

Hmm....does the kid think I'm a rainbow since I am so colorful?!!!! I wonder...

Amsterdam

2008-10-05T06:31:00.000-07:00

Yes, the city that floats...countless of canals and amazing architecture make up this city. Man has mastered nature, The Netherlands have found a way to just like my blog- let it flow- they have accepted that they are surrounded by water and to survive they worked their way arround it and lived fabulously----ha! beat that description for shallowness!!!!! though the water is not!!!

so every corner is perfect, an art, I just go walking home and every where you turn, you can just point and click your camera and it's all there for you to capture. Yup, I walk home, in two weeks that I stayed here, I realized everywhere can be reached by foot. An old cobblestone NY, hmmm but I guess all other parts of the world is too...

there are lots of entertainment but I did not go to that Casa Rosso, hmmm, maybe I should have....next time maybe.....

yup very colorful and tried to be modern...

and some self-portraits of the place that I will count as one of my fave....luv...luv...you amsterdam....i will see you soon....

Babelski.....

madrid peeps

2008-10-01T19:15:00.000-07:00

the view of Madrid, I'm cheating, I actually took this picture on my way out of Madrid, I had to take the train from Paris to get to Madrid because my plane left without me and it is because of Let's driver, he was doing personal errands before taking me to the airport, oh well at least I had the train ride and it was on between May 13-14, so officially it is one of my most memorable birthdays since I don't know where I was when it struck at midnight, I was in the borders of France and Spain, and the backpackers in the train sang a happy birthday to me--it is one of my favorite birthday story...

Then in any place we still went shopping---an outlet--La Roza in Madrid----with Augusto and Ling--my BFF...

and as I have said it is not always the place but the PEEPS you are with that make the place a HOME...... well pics of Spain and France.....soon....

Bruge- I missed Colin Farrel-- just see the movie then

2008-10-01T02:47:00.000-07:00

I am amused by the movie Bruges, I was excited to see it because that place was so magical for me. I never thought that it will be one of the funniest yet smart movie I will ever see. Ralph Fiennes' character even thought that Bruge is one place that people should see before they die..not being morbid here but, yes... just see the movie then..and you will be surprised...

But as you can see, Bruge is magical, it is a place where you are surrounded by ancient structures. It is a Renaissance faire all over and you will be filled with wonder... and make you think of all the Fairy tales you have read...

I will be back for more.....

Saratoga

2008-09-30T05:20:00.001-07:00

The artsy jazzy horses of Saratoga...they are in every corner, it will wake up your imagination and encourage you to make up your own customized horse as you go around looking for your destination....If i will jazz-up a horse it will be......hmmm...once i mastered the adobe illustrator i will be able to post one here....remind me....

yup, it's warm but I have to wear this, just because my friend is getting married, Judy Ann Geli to Dave Robinson. Hey Jude turning to Mrs. Robinson--2 songs for you Judy... We have been friends since we were in Grade School, in Ateneo de Davao University...seems like a long time ago..and yes and that is even a continent away....

reception at the Gideon Putnam Hotel in these Pictures with Tim and Wing Chua.

the hotel-Saratoga Springs-- and the room...I can not complain... and the French restaurant in the lobby is worth a mention....yup you get it, the secret in French cuisine---butter---even with clams...

downtown, the church and some parting photos....

Niagara Falls

2008-09-23T09:29:00.001-07:00

The power and beauty of Nature. That is all I can say. You can feel the rush of the river and in its coolness and mist, all your thoughts are washed anew.

Yes, I am drawn to it. Drawn to the power of water, it's purity and promise of life...

Inside the falls, and yes the raincoats are free, but with all our thoughts of helping mother nature we agreed to recycle them. And that is the view from our room. Oakes Hotel is the best in Niagara, as in any other it is all about location, location and location.

yup we went out and hit Dragonfly, Here I am with my Lancaster buddies, Beryl Bas, we arrived in the US on the same day and flight. Then Lowella Evangelist and in the Breakfast table there is Kaye Estampador who is now in Jackson Florida, whom I will visit someday.....

PCAD Fashion Show

2008-09-23T03:16:00.000-07:00

So this is what I did for my summer 2008. I took up summer class in Pennsylvania College of Arts and Design and learn in a period of more or less 60 hours total, I learned to illustrate, use watercolor, make a pattern and most of all sew. Yup, I did, sew 2 dresses and hmmm, I'm proud of it hahaha....

Chrissy is so dependable, I can always ask her to model for me. Besides she fit into my dresses like it was made for her. Actually, I gave this tiger dress to her after the show. And yup, that is the audience. Hehehe parents and friends of my classmates.

So here are some shots of the show, and that is my black and white dress and tiger print dress. I know it could have been better, but hey, give me a break, I don't know how to sew in the first place, and now I have more respect for all well constructed dresses out there, it is not easy.

My lunch mate in her own design, Helen Kho and Mae my teacher.

thanks Beryl and Tim for coming to see my toe dipping in fashion design. And yes this is my recycled dress, made of ribbons and some Christmas trimmings which i think of Marushka.

Whatever that means. OOooooo I really love Christian Lacroix. hahahaha.

But I have to keep my day Job. But if ever I see a beautiful garment I can't help but think I can really make a good interpretation of it. The mall rack is soooo mass produced.

cebu in NY

2008-09-23T02:36:00.000-07:00

I was excited to hang out with my old friends from Cebu when they were here in NY to launch the Beach House book by Jing Ramos. The book is a must coffee table book for all Cebuanos because as I have it in my house, all my friends are amazed of the paradise that we live in. Hmmm they are wondering why I am here, oh well, we have to work to put bread on the table hahaha. But we will always have Cebu.

Then we had breakfast at Dean and deLuca, Jing, me and OJ Hofer. I like OJ look here, the scarf really gave the punctuation and he looks so slim.

then, some fun fittings and poses in Blanc de Chine in 5th Avenue NY. Emmanuel Hamoy is fabulous!!! I tried to do my own projections hehehe but I guess I have lots to learn. I don't do this everyday, you know, I used to in Cebu and all those Red Wine in Mivida really helped a lot.
Gosh! Mentioning Mivida gives me away knowing that it was ages ago, but still as everyone knows it was OUR place that be....and it lives on...in every party people.....hahahaha

the vicuna shawl, is $6,000.00, so this is for posterity only. It may be worth it I know, it feels so soft and warm like no other, but the tag is hmmmm.....sinful.

till then...

my taste of fashion week in NY

2008-09-22T10:13:00.000-07:00

i have always been a "fashionista" or I would like to think that i am. But I am more on the sane side when I create a look. But I realize I dress up according to the people I go out with. I am more daring when I go out with my other fashionista friends in Madrid, NY, Paris, HongKong, Manila, Cebu or Davao. But I don't go out with them as often anymore and now I'm in Lancaster, PA, only the Amish people are daring in their fashion---hahaha. but no disrespect whatsoever.

so as I said a taste of Fashion Week in Bryants Park when I was just excited to be outside the tent hoping for celebrity sightings when a fairy god yoga instructor, Otto Cedeno (Director), asked me if I wanted to see the show. Ahhh....well ....let me think.....i actually have to do some...are you serious????!!!!! of course I want to see the show, I have always dreamed of seeing one and these events are close to impossible since it is by per invitation only...so yes, I said in all I can not believe my luck, as I went past those burly guards and got into the infamous Bryant tent, I was actually, IN, and moreso, I got a seat.....and pics to prove it......

thanks, OTTO, till next fashion week---2009 perhaps, I missed 2008, just because....

more broadway on broadway pictures

2008-09-22T06:52:00.000-07:00

broadway on broadway is a must for theater lovers because you are able to take pictures of the performances, some even record the whole show in video. If you like freebies it is also the place to be. Just hope that the weather is fine. So here goes the pics

one blog at a time

2008-09-21T21:56:00.000-07:00

yup, that is how it will be

one blog at a time

i have always wanted a forum to share all my ideas, pictures and excitement to everyone and blogging is one way to reach out and do that.

So in these postings you will be able to read on my experiences and perhaps you will find yourselves in them as well

i admire my other friends who are doing this for years and really learned the ins and outs of blogging like organizing their picture layouts and even posting links and some are even doing this as a profession. Bloggie Robillo is one, he is even part of a published book about blogging. I admire their passion to write and share not only themselves but the Philippines as well. They are best representations of the Filipino culture and reading their blogs gives you an insiders look of a local. Another blogger that inspires me is Dennis Manon-og, his blog is Nomadicpinoy.com and it is very impressive. The world he is seeing is being shared to all of us. I worked with him briefly in the past and it is a pleasant surprise to run into him in New York as we have a common friend visiting us here from the United Kingdom., Erwin Justaga. So we were able to update ourselves on our lives and hang out like the old days. So this is a start then, you will be able to read your names and remember the things we have done.

yes, one blog at a time..... and some pictures too
