BKK2013

...in photos!

We stayed there for 4 days and despite the crazy heat (40 degrees celsius) it was still a massively fun trip.

Too bad we missed Songkran by just a few days.

But anyways, here are they are:

Of course we have to start with a hotel room shot

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

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!

PHOTOS FROM THE ESQUIRE PHILIPPINES LAUNCH PARTY

Oct. 5
The Peninsula Manila

I think we ended up spending most of our time at the lobby during the event because it was packed to the brim with people. Again, after a few drinks I totally forgot that I even brought a camera. Anyway, here are the more decent pictures from the night. Congratulations on the Esquire team for a wonderful event and also an amazing first issue!

BEHIND THE SCENES PHOTOS OF THE GARAGE MAGAZINE OCT 2011 COVER SHOOT

Gerald Anderson for Garage Magazine (October 2011)

A few weeks ago BJ asked me if I wanted to help out in the shoot for Garage's October cover. It was on a Sunday and thankfully the weather was very cooperative. It's always amazing watching these masters at work. As always, great job BJ, Eldzs & Fold, and Rey + Garage Team!

STREET DAPPER KINGS 2011

Congratulations to Ziggy, David and all the other guys who are part of this year's Garage Street Dapper Kings!

SUBSPACE

Last saturday, despite the ghastly weather, some friends and I decided to visit this much talked about place in Ortigas called Subspace. It's by Wilmer Lopez and Thor Balanon, who also own furniture, etc. store called Space Encounters (which I have yet to visit but am dying to do so one of these days). When I arrived, all i could say was "wow". The place is gorgeous! And of course they were playing k-pop music which just made the place even more adorable. They serve coffee, tea, pastries and sandwiches, which were actually pretty good.

Anyway, check out the photos from that lovely evening after the cut:

THE WEDDING

Last tuesday my older sister got married to her boyfriend for 7 years.

It was an incredibly wonderful and emotional day for our family.

WARDROBE CLEANUP

I finally decided to get rid of almost half of the clothes in my closet- Those that are too big for me now or the ones that I don't see myself wearing anymore. It was difficult for me to get rid of some because they held some sentimental value. But then again i needed the space so they had to go.

And what do you do after freeing up space in your closet? You go shopping, of course.
