THIS WEEK IN FOOD

Since my order of the Fujifilm XF1 (which I will do a review of soon) finally arrived last Tuesday (c/o Amazon), I've decided to take lots of sample photos to see what the little beauty can do. And what better way than to take photos of food! haha

FYI, I didn't eat everything here. Some of it are just photos I took of food my friends ordered. #defensive

2ND'S

ABSOLUT ELYX @ REPUBLIQ

I was invited to a swanky party thrown by Absolut for their new drink called Elyx last thursday at Republiq. I arrived late (sorry!) so I missed the program where I heard pole dancing ballet dancers performed(!). Good thing i was still able to take pictures.

THE #GLOBEGALAXYNOTE2 EXPERIENCE: BACOLOD EDITION

A month ago me and a couple of people were invited by Globe to experience Bacolod's Masskara Festival through the lens of the Samsung Galaxy Note 2. I almost didn't make it to my flight because getting to the airport was a bit of a nightmare. Thankfully I made it just in time. =)

NEW ZEALAND IN PICTURES

Last September, I went on a trip to New Zealand with my family. It was my first time going, although my parents have been there once before. We were there for a little more than 2 weeks and we were just road tripping all around the north island. Our first stop was Matakana, which is sort of like their version of Tagaytay (or if you want, the Hamptons). Then we were off to Auckland, where i met up with some high school buddies who had relocated there. Afterwards we it was Whitianga, a stay at a fully functioning farmhouse in Taupiri, a few days around Lake Taupo, then Napier (aka the art deco capital of the world), and finally Wellington. The most memorable thing about this trip for me was the food, which was pretty apparent to some of my friends who noticed i got a whole lot pudgier after the trip. LOL

Thanks to my sister for lending me her wonderful Fuji X10 during the trip. =)

Anyway, the photos. Enjoy!

WUNDERLIST

I have this weird obsession with making lists- of things I need to do, things I want to buy, or people I need to kill hug. So this app is simply just a godsend.

Available for almost any platform you could think of (OSX/WIN/IOS/BB/ANDROID), Wunderlist is a gorgeous looking app that is also packed with lots of features such as syncing lists across devices/platforms, as well as a sharing lists with multiple users. Before using this I used Google Tasks for my to-do list, and Evernote for my regular lists. Now all I need is this. I highly recommend you guys try it yourself.
