Drifting Finals at Greenhills with D60KREW

There were awesome cars, awesome cars and awesome cars! It was a day for drifting, I had so much fun with the D60KREW... a few shopping stops here and there then we proceeded to the parking lot where they hold this event. Tom Alvarez lead the ceremonies and everyone's spirit was so high!

There were even some celebrities in the pitstop, some models too so everything was worth it to shoot. Let me show you one that I took with Ryan Agoncillo on the driver seat:

The actual drift run was nice but he kinda begged off on the semi finals. Some fans were disappointed, but hey I got these panning shots which is nice. That was all I was there for. I really enjoy the adrenaline rush you get when you almost get sideswiped by the cars. The small barriers were really not that much of help, but in looking at drifting in the Philippines I think it was still not at par with the Japanese guy who performed for the crowd. He was the only one who drifted really nice in the whole course. Filipinos had few stops in the course but his run was smooth and in unending lines. I really got goosebumps looking at it. I'll probably post some more shots when I finish post processing it. I'll also tell you about some more groups I met from photo shoots I went to this morning. It was awesome as this! I spent a long time with the guys till the wee hours of the morning over a tall Caramel Macchiato =) a great day indeed!

RICO BLANCO: A Real Performer!

I got the awesome chance to shoot in the concert of Rico Blanco. Yeah we have heard him on RIVERMAYA and other solo performances and this one was his night. There was also a band that performed in his front act that I really like but I forgot their name. It was sumthin with cars but I guess I would not be able to know that anymore hehe.

Here is a peek at some of the pictures I uploaded:

I really enjoyed that night because I found out how awesome of a performer he is. I was really an inch away from him at times and I found him very appealing. There were all types of people there from ABCD and E. I hated that part because some of them do SMELL... Eeeugh!... But that does not discount the fact that I enjoyed his set. For buying his album, I guess I have a lot to think about since I am not a fan, maybe if that were Eraserheads I would die if I would not be able to get one hahahah!

Under Pressure!

I think I would really hate myself if I missed episodes of BLACK GOLD from the TRUTV Actuality Series. It is on its second season and I was so excited to finally see it last August 19. I was really at awe how these men survive day to day. Every oil rig, drill and well derrick they excavate every day spelled danger for their lives and families. It takes a lot of guts to be in their shoes. I would never look at Diesel and Gasoline the same way ever again. I thought my work was tough in the air conditioned small corner office but OMG I was wrong. Getting dangerous and dirty shows how a true blue rough neck lives in truTV BLACK GOLD.

When these three men managed Rig 28, I was not quite so sure they are going to be able to do it because CHESTON was not that much getting used to the life of a rough neck yet. If I had some parts to like, it was the thought of Gerald Williams getting so frustrated over this city boy's incompetence with the situations on this rig. If only his Mom and Dad knew he would end up like this they would not probably agree on letting him go to West Texas in the first place. I think it is more of a calling if you end up with this job. I wonder how I would have felt if we traded places with one of the truTV BLACK GOLD characters. If that would have happened then someone might have gotten hurt. It could more likely be me! This is just not a career for anyone... you need to be like Gerald who lives and breathes rough. Even if he was a veteran at this, he still wanted to do everything safely or they could all lose their jobs and lives.

Black Gold has shown me a lot. To experience extreme temperature, pressure and conditions just for work; not to mention be good at it is quite phenomenal. I would love to do this sometime soon but I think it's safer to stay behind the table for now. I am sure truTV BLACK GOLD Healthcare would not be able to pay for my hospital bills. I have never seen anything so REAL in television than this one. I am one hell of a fan!
