Evelyn's Baby Shower

Here are some pics from Evelyn's Surprise Baby Shower last Tuesday, 12/9/08.

In Your Face!

Photos by: HBO

I know I haven't posted in over a month, but I've been extremely busy lately with our year-end, the holidays, and everything else. I promise as soon as the holidays are over, I will post more regularly.

Anyways, this isn't really about me or photography related but I can't help but be so happy about Saturday's beating of Manny Pacquiao on Oscar Dela Hoya.

It was a night to remember regardless of who you were cheering for.

It was a star-studded event with so many A-list (and not so A-list) celebrities,
of course most of them were there for Oscar, but it was damn nice to know that they got to see up-close Pacquiao pummel on Dela Hoya.

Nothing against Dela Hoya, but it was irritating how many had predicted that he will knockout Pacquiao in as early as 4 rounds. Whatever! They obviously haven't seen Manny fight or was simply in denial. I did feel bad for Oscar, I really did. But hey, he still got at least $50M plus PPV, and more.

Manny is now the most powerful man in the Philippines. He trully deserves it. He makes me even more proud of being Filipina.

Getting out of the Slump

2008 Figure Olympia Top 6

To be completely honest with you (and to myself), I haven't been dedicated to my workouts for quite sometime now...almost 4 years to be exact (and 15 lbs later). Bench pressing, squatting 135 and leg pressing 400 lbs are now a distant memory. Long gone are the days when I used to spend 3-4 hours a day at the gym sweating until I'm ready to hurl and pass out. Where on earth did my motivation go? Of course I can justify some of the reasons like job promotion, a side career, and responsibilities with family. I guess I can keep dreaming about my old self, but that's not gonna get me back in shape so I think it's time for me to get out of the rut and draw up a plan as to how I will get there again. Obviously my number one goal is to drop the unwanted excess weight I have accumulated over time. Once I lose it....then what?! My desire to compete is still there (somewhere up there). I just feel like I need to aim for an ultimate goal and competing in figure is just that. At this point I can't quite decide yet since I have so much going on (and something always come up). I guess I'll have to give it a little more time and come up with a decision...maybe once I get past the unwanted excess weight and see what shape and mindset I'll be in then. All I know is I'm not looking forward to eating countless eggwhites, oatmeal, and chicken breast! Oh and not to mention countless hours of cardio.

E-session :: Meesha + Neill Part II

Here's the second part of Meesha & Neill's engagement session. We had such a blast at the shoot and it just so happened to be Neill's birthday.

Meesha & Neill's E-session

It's almost 2:30am and I can't believe I'm still up after playing 4 hours on the xbox, but I can't help but post a couple of teasers from today's E-session with Meesha & Neill. They were the perfect couple to work with, I felt like I've known them forever. Stay tuned for more!

It's Official!!!

My website is up and running!!! I'm so excited! It's still a work in progress so I will be updating as I process more shoots, but overall I'm happy with how it is right now. For more up to date posts, continue to check this blog (link is on the actual website). Anyways, here you go...hope you like it! :)

A very LONG "camping trip"

I hate saying goodbyes so I'll just say "See you later" for now. I'm glad the boys got to spend some male bonding time Saturday before Louie leaves this Tuesday to join the US Army. We wish you the best in the next chapter of your life. We hope you find what it is you're searching for.

Now, on to the funny shots we took.

Louie and his Starbucks posedown

Louie and his Zoolander face

Louie and his fist pump

And finally...a normal shot

Back to School

It's officially back to school today for the little princess. We were planning on going to Disneyland during Labor Day weekend, but unfortunately we can't because I have a wedding and an E-session to shoot for Sat and Sun. So, I decided to take the family to Monterey on Saturday as our last activity for the summer.

Dori! Where's Nemo?



yes, that is a jellyfish and I would hate to get stung by that...



...and these.





















I love turtles so I was a bit disappointed because they didn't have 'em...this one is just a picture of a picture :(
