New Generation Clear Technology Expo in Shanghai
Mid-April, I was very fortunate to be included in the roster of media people sponsored by Unilever Philippines to attend the Clear Technology Expo in Shanghai. It was an event held at the Unilever Research and Development Center and around 60-70 people from 7 different countries were there to witness the revolution that is New Clear.
Did you know that Filipinos have the highest hair...

Shoe Post II
Happy Easter!
Eight months after my first shoe post, I finally found time to shoot these. It’s spring/summer after all, so I figured shooting my brown, beige, and summer-y pairs would be more appropriate than just updating my old shoe post with more and more black shoes.
Enjoy the 50mm f/1.4 goodness!

It’s been more than a week since I cut 5 inches off my hair but I only got to post these photos now because I’ve been so incredibly busy. I apologize for spamming your dashboards just before the Easter rush!

Candy Fashion Show - April 3, 2011
(From L-R: Rosanna, Laureen, me, Lissa, Camille and Lexi)
Candy Magazine held it’s first ever fashion show at SM Megamall a few weeks ago and I am so glad to have been able to take part in it in one way or another. Thank you to everyone who supported the show which was a huge success! I wasn’t able to take a lot of photos (or even bring my dSLR with me) but I hope I’ll be able...

Good news! Forever 21 is finally in SM Makati.

I went to the event with my good friends...

The Plump Pinay by Stacy and Danah
If I had to recommend a good blog to someone right now, I’d recommend The Plump Pinay. Stacy and Danah Gutierrez are my fellow Forever 21 brand ambassadors who share a wonderful plus size fashion, lifestyle and body acceptance blog.
Recently shot both of them in head-to-toe Forever 21, and was so impressed by the confidence they exuded in front of the camera. Had a grand...

I’m sorry for the offense that some have taken from the things that I was quoted in the video with Nina Garcia. Please know that my statements in the video were only excerpts from a longer on-the-spot Q&A that we did for that video. I didn’t mean to belittle anyone with my comments, and it’s also clear from how the video was edited that the editors didn’t see any offensive content with what I...

Pure Fashion Show
Last Saturday, I had the privilege to go to the Pure Fashion event at Enderun. I was invited thinking that it would just be a normal fashion show, but little did I know that the emphasis was on the word “pure”. I had no idea what it was all about until I checked the website out recently:
“Pure Fashion is a faith-based program that encourages teen girls to live, act, and dress...

Review: Party Eyez Jewel Brown / Vassen Super...
Thanks to Japanese Candy for sponsoring all my contact lenses.
These are 14.5mm ones that have a soft outer ring compared to most circle lenses out there. The enlargement is subtle, and not too in-your-face. The color is a little borderline brown and yellow, but I think they’re perfect if you really want your eyes to pop out in pictures. Brown lenses can get a little tricky since there...
