The Final Run: The Amazing Race Asia Season 4!

Wednesday, December 08, 2010

It's down to the final 3 teams in The Amazing Race Asia Season 4. The Philippines has been looking for that elusive win since TARA started (Remember Marc and Rovilson, Geoff and Tisha?). The Richards will probably get it but who knows?! Father-Daugher team Natasha and Hussein or Best Girl Friends Michelle and Claire may come up and take this away from them since they know Singapore like the back of their hand!

The challenges have been really getting tougher! From shaving their heads off for a Fast Forward ticket to eating exotic food from other countries, this has been a really awesome thing to watch. I'm rooting for the Richards though because they REPRESENT!!!! (Saw them too at the TARA4 launch, such great guys!) How I wish I could do this too! I'm sure I'll try to audition for next season.

No one knows who will win this on this final run so make sure you guys tune in to AXN on December 9 at 8PM Jakarta/ 9PM Singapore, Malaysia, Philippines / 10PM Hong Kong.

Looking for that One in a Million


In this part of the world it is pretty hard to hook up with someone that would perfectly match you. I should know because I've been single and dating on and off for quite a number of years now and true enough almost all my friends ask me when I'll be settling down. I am a little bit irritated because whosoever made that rule and getting a partner just to be happy must be laughing at me somewhere high above. I know there is some truth to that but I'd rather take my time making this choice. I'll be the one spending my lifetime forever with her anyway right?! I'm a catch too and not to brag about it but I'm one of those choosy guys who would rather make the best choice or nothing at all. My standards are high and if there were Jersey City singles here that would probably be my first choice. I'd like to have someone more suburban and quaint and not the type of raunchy ones you often see in the clubs. I would like her to be someone smart and articulate. I want someone who can catch up with my humor because most of the time they just don't get it.

I am still optimistic though that someday that perfect person will suddenly appear and make me fall into my knees. I'll love her with all my heart and I'd be loyal and truthful to what we'll be promising in the altar. It's the perfect thing for someone who hopes for the happy ending everyone's been dreaming of. I'll take this one step at a time!

To inspire everyone let's listen to NEYO!

Hungry for a Photoshoot !

I'm going to let you take a peek at some of my shots. I am hungry for a photoshoot so please bear with me if I sound a little off now. It's been a long time since my last big photoshoot and it would be a big challenge for me to do this on January but I think if my friends and I bring this thing together we can do it. I wish there was an angel who could provide me with the location I want. Money would not be a concern though since if I invite a lot of photographers over that would probably cover the costs. I also have friends who can do professional make up and styling. When and how am I going to do this? It's still in the air but since I'm dead envious of the others who are still doing fashion shoots I'll drop them a bomb here. Ready?

Here are some of my shots from the defunct Nocturnals... this was from the Avant Garde Wedding Shoot. Here we go!






I knew fashion photography was something I should do after I got my shots published on the Digital Photographer Philippines magazine. I felt all the effort and hard work that I put in on this craft paid off only after a year. I want to shoot again with my peers. It's just sad that some of them lost their way. I hope in one way or another I could still get some of them to help get a big shoot in order. It would be such a waste to throw away some of their talents, I've seen some of their works too. I hope one day we'll shoot again. I hope so... I really hope so.

Life is a Dance Floor


I always go out every weekend because I have lots of friends in bars and clubs around the metro. I love house and trance music and I can never get tired of it. To tell you honestly I also went out just this week and boy did I enjoy the songs played in the club. I love going out because I am single and that is one of the perks. The passion for music though is really getting to me. I also want to be a DJ someday but I never got into the norm of how to do it. Software mixing is another subject and I know someday I'll get the hang of it. If I get high quality dj usb leads that might get the balls rolling. It'll be easier to combine and do a mash up of my favorite pop songs and make them house or a little bit electronic. I've seen some of the best and my current muse is Ministry of Sound UK. Why am I going to have problems with that?!

I'll try and stay away from those 80's hits because they are pretty bland. Some kids don't like it so if I plan to have a party of my own to hone my skills on this someday, I'll stick with the plan. I have some of them somewhere here but I think it would be good to mix them up with some of my photos too. This would be good for presentations and music videos just like the one I made for a shop. I'll try to make this work sooner than you think. I'll be a DJ and that is one of the few things I'll do this year. Wish me luck guys!
