Frames for Me

I've been having headaches these days and I got some minor bad news from my doctor. I might need to wear glasses. I'm not really a fan of wearing them since I see how hard it is to maintain. Some of my friends have worn them since they were kids and it looked like it was a little troublesome; let alone not fashion inclined... and to tell you honestly I'm afraid to be in the same situation. I did despise wearing them until I found an on line store that gave me choices beyond my imagination. They have designer grade prescription glasses that are very affordable so who could argue with that?! I must admit I was afraid they would all be very pricey because most malls carry them around hundreds of dollars. The on line store initially had their frames around 8 but these guys are so generous they even have more on the $6.50 range. Who can resist that?! They also have virtual try-on frames so you can take a look at what looks good on you. You can just get a portrait of yourself literally uploaded and fit with your favorite frames. That's just not available elsewhere! Amazing!

So if you guys have that notion or think that it's not cool wearing glasses these days; just remember that you may not have found the perfect pair yet. It takes time... or maybe it just takes a simple place on the net like ZENNI to get you one that you would love. You won't regret these things if you start right in choosing what would look good on you. Am I right?!

Daily Moo's 10262010

I just did something wrong today but I'm not going to tell you guys about it. You might think I'm not as smart as I look heheh.

It's around 20 hours left before I lose a deal on CASHCASH for the Cream Halloween Ball. It's one of the best rave parties in Asia and I really want to shoot there too. They've got the best DJ's from Europe who'll probably be great at Electronica and House which I'm really fond of.

This week will surely be a very busy one for me because as a fashion photographer you can never go without fashion week every year. I never skipped one so I'm surely going to be in the sidelines again. I got one for the Penshoppe and AXE sponsored shows. Hopefully I get to see some people from the industry and get my rollerdecks running. I have 2 major projects in line and I need them for logistics. Thanks for the bloggers that hooked me up *hint hint* heheh!

I'm currently busy right now backing up my photos on DVD. I have around 50 on my archive. I don't want to fill up hard drive space and I'm saving the raw ones now. I specifically also want to backup my workshop with Xander Angeles so I won't be sorry if I have problems with my laptop. It acted up the other day but its okay now. That was just a hint of an upcoming nightmare I guess.

More events will happen soon so if you have read my previous entries, there will be more of that soon!

See yah wouldn't wanna be yah! =)

Artwork That I'd Adore

I've seen a lot of things this weekend that I couldn't get because I'm saving up for artwork that I plan to put up on our living room. Mom says we need one and who can argue with that. I wouldn't want to stare at a blank wall as a conversation piece and I kind of agree that we need some sort of a focal point. My photography would be out of place there because I mainly do fashion and the room's feel is more of classic and contemporary. If there would be something else I could try John Powell Prints looks good.

The strong reds and purple shade on the garden seem to be the perfect accompaniment to the hardwood furniture we already have in state. The darker shade would definitely give this difficult blend of pieces a more cohesive look since it will have a smoother transition on the walls even if we don't change colors. It's relatively a lot cheaper too if I go this path than purchasing the original one so if the time comes when I need to choose I'll tell them to consider it. After all it'll be numbered and hand signed as an authentic digital print. I'm ecstatic and feel a lot of people would say WOW at the sight of it. Imagine how they would react if something this beautiful lands on one of our walls. Mom's going to brag about it for a long time I'm sure!

Have you considered getting digital artwork? Do you have some at home? Care to tell me about it?

Funky Halloween Bowl at SM Bowling Center!

Bowling is one of the most pleasurable things I do in my spare time. I remember playing a couple of games a few years ago in Makati, Greenhills and Cubao that got me to a couple of pedestals when I least expected it. It was the perfect alternative for a sickly kid who couldn't play too much basketball outside because of asthma and the conducive environment of an air conditioned room was but a paradise. I didn't know I was in for more just this weekend!

I met with bloggers last Saturday at Mall of Asia. To tell you honestly I haven't played bowling for the longest time because of time constraints and work related matters but this was a gathering of sorts so I didn't hesitate going. Without any practice, I got there and met with the wonderful people of SM Bowling Center. It's a little small than the usual bowling lanes I frequent in Makati but this was a little adventurous since they carried a cosmic bowling theme right from the get go. I love lanes like this because it's different and it's what most of my friends enjoy even if it is a little dark. It adds more spunk to say the least and I was in for a great time as I spend my evening with new people from the blogging industry. SM Bowling Center Mall of Asia was such a gracious host... I never thought I could play bowling the same way again. Have you ever heard of FUNKY BOWLING?!


Just like you I was dumbfounded what other things they were doing to the sport. I was being all competitive in my head when all along I was supposed to play this great game with a different set of rules. It was totally different from the conventional game we had in our mind. We got to look at the different stances we had to make just to throw the ball. It was both entertaining and challenging. Some of the moves were really difficult but I guess that comes with the game. I was thrilled to be part of the teams that gamely did everything on the list. Imagine sitting down, throwing between legs, shoving with your feet, doing a moonwalk before you throw the ball. It was really really nice to see ourselves do something unconventional let alone obnoxious to the entertainment of everyone there!

We were served great food from Sunset Boulevard! Grab a bite there while playing!

You thought this is over? Of course not! This Halloween at SM Bowling Center (Oct 30 - SM Fairview & SM MOA; Oct 31 - SM North EDSA) Go Trick or Treatin while playing the FUNKY HALLOWEEN BOWL! They also have billiards, Wii, Rockband and photobooths for everyone's enjoyment! Don't forget to wear your SCARY/CUTE/GREAT/FUNKY costumes! See you there!
