Family Tree

Family Tree | Photo by Jacq Yabut

So here’s the hierarchy of our family. As I have said in some past posts, I have no father present that’s why I love my sisters and my mother. :)

From the top is my Inang Reyna, Dolores Carbonera.  Then after her are my sisters (all married):  Gina Bensan, Janet Gonda, Beth Panis and Lanie Liveta. That’s me at the bottom obviously.  I’m a fat pig now. :’(

This was taken by Jacque Yabut, when we went to Tiendesitas. :D

Love ‘Em, Hate ‘Em

This pic is actually a part of a set that I will be releasing within the week or so. Well, no biggie though, it’s not for commercial purposes; I just wanted to take pictures and have a set with Jacque.

The set is inspired by the song “Like a Boy” by Ciara. The song wants to question the “what if roles were reversed” and the men are the ones getting toyed around.

Summer Heat! Summer Colors, Summer Love

Summer is here, it’s official! Introducing this year’s theme for the summer.

Inspired by the Sunsilk ads today here in the Philippines, “life can’t wait”.

I made these ones after out Puerto Galera adventure. Hehe. I made two, one for Jacque and one for me.

You have to really dig them summer theme. Ahhh summer. :)

Overshadows : Fashion Eclipse

Reversal. Eclipse. Tides are turned.

This is Fashion Eclipse, an annual event held by the Communication Arts Department in De La Salle University Dasmariñas. Participants are the two courses under CAD, Communication and Broadcast Journalism studes. This is to showcase the skills of these students in the design world, infusing it with objects from media. Here are some pics taken from the event.

And oh, kudos to Broadcast Journalism Program Council (this year’s host/organizer) for pulling off an awesome show that time. :D

This is Sam, the president of Broadcast Journalism Program Council plus the host for the event. Hmmm, it seems that he has soem resemblances with Boy Abunda… I didn’t know that, until now. XD

This year’s theme is of J-Pop (if not mistaken) or Harajuku-inspired outfits. some did manage to show a design that has fusion of media and the said theme. Some with the theme only, and some, just made a design. Tsk. (I’m a fashion critique now? Whoa. @_@)

And oh, I tried my best in capturing good shots. Some were just to dark, because the venue is really dark. And er, I don’t have a dSLR, but I think my Sony H7 was able to handle it. :D
And disclaimer, I am not a fashion photographer, but I would love to learn though.

This girl was a strong contender. I thought she had the looks and the posture. Even the body was like of a model; it’s just that she didn’t win.

This is Denise, a friend of mine. I didn’t know she was in the said fashion expo. Cool. She looked good, but her outfit… was… well… I don’t think it’s really in line with the theme. Hers looked more of Moulin Rouge like costume.

For the girls, it was this young lass from Com 22 (I think) that won the female division. She had a nice posture, also gifted with slender legs and a knack for posing, reason enough for her to stand out from the rest. She wasn’t the crowd favorite though.

Melai is. :)

This is Melai, the crowd favorite. She had a very model-ish posture at the stage and yes, she had a nice outfit to complement her moves. Very funny girl too. Or, err… guy? Haha. Kidding, Melai.

There are also guys in the competition. Here are some of them.

But this next guy, he was the one who stood out from the guys.

He was the one who made almost all the girls stand and clap (even my girlfriend was cheering and shouting for him. Tsk. Woe is me). And oh, he was the one who won the award for best male model.

Cool thing about this year’s competition, the winners received not only certificates but also 50% discounts for some workshop for models.

‘Til next year! (If I am available to shoot again) :D
