Not The Tides You Were Thinking Of
This was all the way back in December, while I was living in the South and therefore was very near Tagaytay. Just a random night, drinking with friends in the colder spots here in the Philippines. Film scans, Nikon 53Ti.

Christmas Dinner 2011
Another one of my late posts, sorry! Film is such a hassle to maintain… anyway. Our annual Christmas party, some fool left the Panorama option on my little film camera on though, so the photos look… like this. Not too shabby though, they seem alright. Had loads of fun seeing these people again, been so long since we’ve all been together!

Sinulog 2012
I had an amazing time in Cebu last weekend! It was my first time in the Capital City of the South, and I was intrigued by the different culture they present, although the distinction was a little bit tainted by the fact that half of Manila was present at the time. I didn’t actually get to see the procession or street festival, but I still had a hell of a good time! Got to try Zubu Chon,...

Like A Brother To Me
I miss my best friend Lui. I didn’t really get to see him much over the break, hope we get a chance to hang out (like hang out legit) soon. He’s more like a brother to me than anything else. Nice to have someone out there who looks out for you when he can. I miss going on adventures with him. He also gave me an iPad 2 for Christmas (well, kinda…) which is amazing since my iPad...

Let's Go To Tagaytay
I miss going out on random adventures to the cold parts in the province with my friends! School makes things so routine. Sorry for my face in these photos, we were pretty wasted. Used expired film for these shots.

bright young manila feature
Featured in Chalk magazine a few months ago (really have to work on posting things on time!) for their Bright Young Manila story. Surprisingly we were made to re-enact a sleepover despite boys rarely having sleepovers, even more so a sleepover in which we wear all the bright colors of the rainbow. All that aside, the shoot was fun and I made new friends like the Dutchman Samir and Lee from...

[giveaway] shu uemura x wong kar-wai
Shu Uemura has partnered with award-winning filmmaker Wong Kar-Wai for their new holiday collection (you can watch the video here), and I was hired to cover their new line’s preview and release party. Their amazing new line is full of brilliant colors, and I noticed how it was mainly made up of blues and purples, with much emphasis on the eyes while keeping the rest of the face pale. I...

Just hanging out with Monica (http://thetangerinetree.tumblr.com/) and taking some night shots. Bahay Kubo is the native term for these indigenous little house that Monica has in her backyardfield beside her parking lot, haha. These shots were taken at about 7PM with no special lighting or flash.

waking up randomly in a bed that isn't mine
Woke up at my best friend Lui’s house at the crack of noon. We were joined quite shortly after waking by Nikki, who is awesome, and Denise, who is my cousin and similarly awesome. We were just hanging out, listening to music and watching funny things on the internet. Thankfully when Lui picked me up before we went drinking the night before he suggested I bring my camera on over to his house,...

halloween 2011
Halloween! This post only contains photos from our dinner party and a couple of photos I took with my neighbours after I got home from going out. I don’t have photos of any of the parties I went to as I was too lazy (and inebriated) to lug around my good old Mark II. Plus, since Halloween was on a Monday I went all out on the weekend before, and I didn’t have a chance to bring a...

Go Forth
Hype this look on LOOKBOOK.NU by clicking here.
Go Forth is Levi’s new global campaign, and I took part in a little promotional project for them here in the Philippines by going around a couple of shopping centres in Makati, spotting people wearing Levi’s and taking their photo in exchange for some Levi’s merchandise. You can see the photos I took of the people on Levi’s...

oxygen preview s/s12
Was invited to preview Oxygen’s new collection at their store in Trinoma a couple of weeks ago. Surprised to see splashes of color, I’m so used to Oxygen being monochromatic! They tied up with Marcela Gutierrez, a world-renowned illustrator, to come up with these artsy graphics for their new line.
Made a bunch of new friends at the event, always...
