Titanic... This won best photography.

I loved this one, too... Bea Soriano and Belle Daza.

This was BJ's entry... Kim Chui and Marc Nelson for Memoirs of a Geisha. Zero editing and raw, I loved it! Made it stand out amongst the sea of heavily-photoshopped photographs. It was also Mark Nicdao's favorite. Good job, BJ!

Photobooth funnnn

BJ invited us to attend the Velvet Oscars Tribute at the Ayala Museum last Thursday (March 4). They have a yearly exhibit of stars modeling for the country's well-known photographers depicting different movies that have won several awards at the Oscars. The photographs were so beautiful and a lot of stars graced the event. The set-up was pretty but the photos were mounted on several locations so the lights were all over the place, which made venue scorching hot. We kept going out to take a breather and we stayed behind the dividers to keep away from the lights.

They had delicious h'orderves, overflowing champagne and wine the entire night, plus they handed out sets of postcards with all the photos that were exhibited. It was a great event and I'm looking forward to the next one!

Went for a quick trip to Cebu last weekend since CIE invited us over for their annual production called FYI. Riz and I sang a total of 4 songs with the band. Our brother sang with some kids, too. It was super fun! So happy that I got to see so many CIEans again and we're pretty excited for the alumni homecoming and concert this coming October.
Mum recorded our performance and gave me her memory card but I don't have a card reader for the Sony memory stick! Will upload it sometime this week...
I miss Cebu already!

Glimmer

One of my fave nail polish colors- GOTH by Orly (the silver sparkles aren't too visible, so I like it.)
my cousin dubbed that as the "galaxy ring"

Lunch at Mr.Jones

my cousin's Sarsi float and my ice cold water. Today was a suuuper hot day!

Riz's strawberry iced tea :)

The only salad in their menu- Garden Greens. For Mr. Jones's healthy friends! :))

Ooohyeah, truffled mac n' cheese!

My cousin's the only meat eater so she got this- tapa overload!

Lots of people have been raving about this new diner called Mr.Jones at Greenbelt 5. Every time we drop by to have dinner there we end up being on a loooong wait list so in the end we always give up and go to another restaurant. Luckily they're not as packed during lunch on weekdays so we got a table, but we still had to sit outside. Super hot weather + leatherette seats DO NOT mix well. LOL. The place was super cute, too! Mr. Jones is by the same people who's responsible for my other favorite restaurant, Chelsea.

Everything we ordered tasted real good! It's just sad that this resto isn't very vegetarian-friendly (not much choices for us in the menu). We had to request for them to take away the bacon in their mac n' cheese, but it was still super good. Truffle in mac n' cheese! How exciting is that?! Their tapa was soo tasty according to my cousin, but she was just disappointed at how much fat they included in the slices.

Would love to try out their desserts, potato wedges and milkshakes next time!

-All photos taken with my LX3.-

forgive me for shakin the camera too much. i was trying to be... stealthy. heheee

Whenever the beau comes to town it's mandatory that I finish all my plates/designs early so I can have the weekend free with him and some other friends. I always look forward to such weekends! Nowadays I don't force myself to go out on weekends unless I have friends visiting. I feel so guilty whenever I go out because of the pile of work I have to do and the energy I waste. :)) And NO- I will not say that this is a result of getting old. Eeep.

The beau organized a get-together for his brother to meet some of his fans (LOL) last Friday at Mario's. It was a pretty interesting night since that was when I realized that he was getting recognized by a lot of people already. Everywhere we went- from the nearest 7/11, gas station and grocery store to get some drinks for the condo- people would come up to him, say hi or ask for a picture. Funny how reality shows can make people gain sooo much popularity over a span of 6 months. Even when he was late for the guest list at the club, he got in for free and was told that he didn't have to pay cos he was a "celebrity". Oh gosh those words just send some really bad pulses up my spine. LMAO.

Saturday was pretty chill- chillin at the condo and bein a doggy-sitter. Twix is just too cute and now I reaaallyyy want my own little pup already. It's gotta be a Yorkshire terrier OR a teacup pomeranian. My apartment's small and I want one I can bring inside malls.

Sunday- watched Wolfman. I was expecting more from it but it turned out to be... BLAH. I want to watch a really awesome movie soon! ALICE! Hopefully my uncle will organize a premiere showing somewhere. Heeheeee :)

This weekend Riz and I are gonna be in Cebu to perform during Centre for International Education's annual school production entitled FYI. Hopin to see a lot of familiar faces! Will be flying out immediately after school (hopefully my professor will allow me to defend my design on his lunch break eeeeep!) so expect the usual haggard face on stage! LOL
