Goodbye Michael Jackson! (-_-)"

The Jacksons and a lot of other celebrities held the funeral of Michael Jackson in Staples Center in Los Angeles California. As expected a long line was drawn for the millions upon millions of his fans. I too am a fan, I would really never see an award ceremony anymore like they used to. I mean who would dance like that ever again?! He's the only one who can do that. Its just a pity too that some of the younger generation don't even know how big of a deal this is. There were even some detractors on twitter and facebook when I last saw the threads in ABC... its just too sad for them to only concentrate on the bad things he may or may not have done... he should be known for what he did right.

I think I was named after this guy even. I don't want to speculate things but I guess at that time when I was born, his name was really one of the most popular and being the strict catholic that my Mom is its a good thing that it also is a name of a saint... and so goes my name too.

I just want to say thank you to Michael Jackson... the world has mourned for this great man. We lost someone very talented, an ICON..an idol... I just wish the best for the ones he left behind... all of us.

Want to be On Top?

In the United States, real estate marketing is picking up slowly. The recent credit crunch has prevented most of the brokers and investors to employ different real estate marketing strategies. The Internet has been an effective tool to shorten the gap between those who want houses and those who need them now. Offers for pre owned and newly built homes can now be seen on most web sites and on line E Commerce stores like any other product in the market. If you grab the opportunity now, you will be ahead of the other ones in this industry. On Top Results provides services such as real estate web design so it would be easier for any company to compete on line. You always want to be the best. Nobody can discount the fact that in order for companies to survive in this day and age, real estate marketing should be their priority in order to be visible among the thousands of companies with the same niche.

Advertising is the way to go so your services and products would reach the ordinary consumer. Buying property and having it shown in the public will be the breaking point in the careers of most real estate professionals. While the slump is already getting out of the way, we should always consider companies like On Top Results to market real estate land and properties. They are the best one in the business today and it would be just crazy if people shy away from what could literally save their companies. Only the experts here can give you what you need right here, right now!

DPP KATIPUNEROS WILDLIFE MODEL PHOTOSHOOT 06202009

It was early morning when we arrived in Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife Rescue Center. This was a photo opportunity which I was excited about because of the previous notions there were going to be a couple of models that will be working for us. I slave away days in photo processing these shots so if there are one or two that are not perfect PUHLEASE FORGIVE ME! It's a darn 500+ photos and I don't want to throw away the other ones just because a few are prettier... we had a mishap in the morning because the model backed out in the last minute. When we went there to shoot, it literally was already lunch time when one arrived as a back up. This was huge since there were a lot of people waiting and inching to click their cams but since we did not have one around we just walked and waited and walked and waited. It was okay though since some of them arrived in the afternoon and we started shooting. Make up was awesome with Ms. Steph Rodriguez. She had something in mind for the shoot but she wanted our input since we are the ones conceptualizing the shoot. Rey Rana's dresses were awesome even in the sweltering heat of the sun. The colors just POP and I did not have that much problem with editing them. It was just watermarking I had some problems with because it was too many pictures literally taking me 2 weeks just for that.

Here are some of the post processed shots I took last June 20... I became a negroid afterwards because of the hot sun! Man! That was an afternoon shoot, so remind me to get sunblock next time! Hahahah...

Fashion Designer: Rei Rana
Make-Up Arttist: Steph Rodriguez
Models: Eunique Pineda, Princess Cabuya, Jhantelle Chua and Edison Subala

You’re the 1, Goldilocks!

I'm a sweet tooth. I can't tell you how many tons of sweets I've already consumed during my lifetime, but by the time I do you would have finished reading a whole set of encyclopedias. Never in my wildest dreams would I have lived without one thing in particular. No its not one of the three bears, but Goldilocks!

It's that quaint yellow and blue store we go to when we need to give that special someone the best Filipino food and the grandest cakes that are baked to perfection. I always get my friends to tag along with me every time I visit the store, to stop me from literally getting everything off the shelf. Being the foodie that I am, I only eat those which pass my meticulous palate. I only eat dinuguan cooked by my Aunt or the one in the store for the same reason. It ends up always paired with that butter puto that I also have for breakfast and merienda almost thrice a week. Every birthday in our family is celebrated with those awesome premium cakes they are well known for, I mean who has not tasted "Black Forest"?

My Mom adores the Ube Cake and Brazo de Mercedes which is pretty much a staple every year we celebrate her birthday. My Dad on the other hand always get his hands on Cathedral Windows and Crema de Fruta when he takes a break from the so called "diet" he goes through everytime he feels healthy. My Sister splurges on tarts, pies and take home bags of cake slices; with me taking care of the Marble and Chiffon flavors of course! I like the new Mango Angel Torte also and I got to share that with my office mates a few days ago. I take a break from the hot sweltering sun in the Goldilocks branch in Cubao (since it's near my place) and finish servings of Sago't Gulaman, Black Gulaman, Mais con Hielo and Halo-Halo topped with mouth watering Leche Flan which just makes my day! We are living testament to Goldilocks and the years that they have been part of our lives. This just gets better and better!

It's the time we share these things and take grace from God that we celebrate life! Every year, every day and every hour, the things we get from these will always be remembered. You're the one Goldilocks because out of the 7,100 islands the Philippines, there is only one place to enjoy food with my family. Only Goldilocks does that!
