NOCTURNALS Shoots URBANISTA @ MAKATI!

Had lots of sleep the day before and was really anticipating this photo shoot because this was planned way ahead. The theme as you may probably have read in the title was Urbanista, I had some doubts on the title itself because I was always seeing URBAN CHIC on shoots but it was explained to me that this was going to be a little bit different. With buildings as a back-draft it seems quite appropriate because we will have a male model too on this day. It was that guy on the INFORMATICS life size thingy that was creeping me out everyday which I was going to shoot. I didn't know he actually looked different, more muscled than the cardboard box he was printed on for that ad. He was actually so familiar when I met him; and I just found out after the shoot that it was him all along. He's more goodlooking in person, but not as good looking as I am hehehe =)

Let me share a couple of shots from that shoot so you get an idea how I was able to capture about 3 of the models.... yeah I know, they were around 7 but I was not able to take pictures of them because of the different sets and errands I had to go to because we had some minor issues with the snacks we ate in Makati...

I'll tell you about the models later!

Christmas Cards Anyone?!

It's the most wonderful time of the year again and since we celebrate this holiday for 4 months in my country I have to plan my gift giving skills as well. You may already have read before that I have about 100 God sons and daughters who I need to give gifts to. Not to mention the adults who would probably be around the same number; and obviously I do not want to go bankrupt after the holidays so this one is for you!



Yes I know they are adorable! I found these christmas cards from 123PRINT.CO.UK and since my brother is in Ireland he could probably order me some of these so I could give them away here when he gets back on the last week of November. I am sure my friends and family would love them since they all can be personalized. It matters if they know that you care and took time to create these; and put small thoughtful notes on it. I would save a lot considering the high prices today. I would not want to spoil the surprise but I want to share these with my readers. It is the thought that counts after all!

Maybe you should check this one out for starters!

My New Baby Deedee!

It's a great buy so far, I tested it out on my cam after buying it and it was performing really well. The light was soft even if I was using Ziggy my TELE lens. It was a good thing I waited before I purchased something like this. =)

The DI622 is highly recommended for those who want performance for the buck. A simple firmware upgrade would even get it to support radio triggers and get this to work with all the things you need for a studio. Yeah i suppose I would like to have that soon! I don't want to quit my day job though.... (Hi Boss! heheh =) ) My addiction to portraits and photography itself is getting worse... I would not want to stop my self but if you think about it, everything seems to be getting into place. I'm lovin my work and hobby... hopefully there would be more in store for me this year!

The Importance of Health and DNA Testing

Today I was dumbfounded when I found a kid running around my Uncle's house. I barely go out and we seldom see each other. There was this little girl and the fact is; I don't know her. I knew my Aunt and Uncle kind of had a falling out period a couple of years ago but nobody in our family asked about it. There are some instances that you just have to keep mum about it so you do not get your relatives into an awkward situation; which you both probably would regret in the long run.

I am a bit suspicious that this is her daughter, but I am not sure. I am quite concerned that people may notice her too. What would they think about it? Rumors may spread and some of my relatives would end up ashamed of the situation. The kid may also be born from the helper he had 3 or 4 years ago. I hope I am wrong, but it is useless to speculate. I may have to tell my folks about it too but I have to wait things out. If there was a way I could do a DNA Test privately like what CYGENE Direct has then it would be better. I would not want this to go out and get blown of proportion.

I have read that this particular procedure also is done to people who would like to have their genealogy traced. If they are prone to one type or more of cancer then it would be detrimental for them to have certain treatments rather than getting a full Mastectomy or Hysterectomy. I saw in OPRAH a woman that had all her relatives genetically unfortunate to get Cysts and Ovarian Cancer. This was when she decided to proceed to removal instead of gamble stages of cancer in her body. It turned out to be the greatest decision she ever made in her life and it has inspired other people to also get checked. It pays to know how a simple DNA Testing can help you with your family's health. So for prediction and personal DNA Testing which you can do in the comfort of your own home, make sure you get CYGENE DIRECT a visit too. It works wonders!
