Binibining Pilipinas: On #3, #18, and #21.

Sunday, March 7, 2010 3:21 7 Comments

Yes, I watched Binibining Pilipinas’ Grand Coronation Night earlier, live at the Araneta Coliseum. I was rooting for #3, Patrixia Shirley Santos, previously crowned Miss Bicolandia 2009. However, she didn’t get into the top 10. (Don’t worry, ikaw pa rin ang panalo sa puso ko. Whatdafuck?)
We were expecting #18, Helen Nicolette Henson, to bag one [...]

The Backstreet Boys Live in Manila.

Guilty as charged. I used to listen to the Backstreet Boys (a lot) back in high school and yeah, I think that for the life of me, I won’t ever get over these lines from their song Drowning:
“Go on and pull me under / Cover me with dreams, yeah / Love me mouth to mouth [...]

Pre-Musicfest 2010: Kris Allen, Boyce Avenue, and the Jabbawockeez!

I met Georgina Wilson yesterday. (Okay, truth is I just asked for a picture before she left. I’m a loser like that.)
It was Musicfest 2010’s press conference and in attendance were a truckload of press people and a small contingent of bloggers that included me, Carlos, Maki, Mica, and Patty. And on stage? Georgina Wilson, [...]

Happy Mondays My Ass.

Monday, June 22, 2009 17:22 4 Comments

I’ve come to hate Mondays: no car, stupid cab drivers (90% won’t let me in as a passenger), the usual weekend bliss hangover, no camera, no packed lunch, costly food and transportation here at Bonifacio High Street, and a whole lot more.
I’m a whiner.
I whine about Mondays just because.

I had to take a few more shots before I got back to Manila (Saturday afternoon), so I did: while driving. Here are some of the photos I took (from inside the car):
I wish I had more time and a bit more spending power; if I had, I’d have stayed one more night out there [...]

Three Days Captured.

Thursday, December 22, 2005 17:37 No Comments

The first day was spent in Divisoria and the Plaza San Lorenzo Ruiz area (in Binondo, Manila). The Divisoria shoot produced nothing of value, and the latter location produced but a few notable shots. If not for the four streetchildren who went up to me and asked, “Kuya, sama (naman) kami sa picture,” it’d have [...]
