Nutrition Month Culminating Activity at MakatiMed Posted on Tuesday, July 30, 2013 | 0 comments

Yesterday, I hosted the 39th Nutrition Month Culminating Activity organized by the Nutrition and Dietetics Department of Makati Medical Center. 

I feel honored that they chose me to host the event because food is very close to my heart.  

That's me hosting with much gusto as I introduced the chefs who will do the cooking demonstration. 

Chefs Allen, Ana, and Martin showing the audience how to make French Toast with Peaches and Cream. 

Among the three, my favorite is Chef Martin Babasa because he still looked fresh even after the cooking demonstration.  It was so nice of him to pose with me during his cooking break.  I came to know his name through a friend on Instagram.  

I had so much fun yesterday considering all the tension I had to go through before I was allowed to host the event.  

I'd be more than happy to host the said event next year and I hope they'll inform me ahead of time.  Had I known? I could've worn a vegetable inspired outfit.  

San Juan Posted on Friday, April 26, 2013 | 2 comments

Working in Makati while living in Fairview gives me all the chance to snap the most random things that I get to see on my way to work.

One of the buildings that amazes me is the San Juan City Hall. The building looks so clean, simple, yet you know that it has some lavishness in it.

I should think that it is one of the good things that the Ejercito's have done in the city. The construction did not go smoothly though and that I am sure of because I saw some protesters outside the construction site. And until this very moment, I am still puzzled how the government of San Juan got rid of them.

Here is the photo of the said building with the photo title "San Juan."

iPhone Photography Posted on Thursday, April 25, 2013 | 0 comments

iPhone Photography is the art of taking pictures using the iPhone. Gone are the days when phones were only used for sending SMS, making calls, and playing a game called "Snake." If you still do the three, you must be using the old Nokia 3210 which was state-of-the-art when I got hold of it for the first time in 2001.

Due to the development of smartphones, capable of doing an endless list of tasks, I can only count with my fingers the number of times I thought of buying a DSLR so I can venture into photography. I thought that having one is impractical because you don't get to snap photos of the most surprising moments in your life. These surprising moments are among a few of those memories you want to cherish.

Because of this, I thought of venturing into iPhone photography because of the convenience it gives when taking the most random photos of things and events.

My first photo for the iPhone photography project is entitled "Sandigan."

Sentro 1771: Where Good Friends Eat Posted on Tuesday, April 16, 2013 | 0 comments

Trisha in polka dots

Last night, I met up with my very good friend Trisha for dinner. We've noticed that we only get to see each other at least once a month given our busy schedules. She works as a flight attendant and most of the time her schedule does not jive so well with mine but when we get the chance to, we see to it that we hang out either for catharsis or for some good company. When I say good company, it also means eating and not being guilty about it.

It still amazes me how I lost almost 37 lbs in a span of 1 year and it also amazes me that I wore the same shirt on the same date just with a different year.

The photo on your left was taken at The Distillery along Jupiter Street last February 20, 2011.  That was the time I met up with my dorm-mates from college, Ivan and Dwight for a night of drinking.  

The photo on the right was taken at Figaro in SM Megamall last February 20, 2012 when I met up with my BFF after she attended a wedding here in Manila. I wanted to bring her at the BGC but unfortunately her uncle was so strict that we should just hang out somewhere near Shangri-la EDSA. 

I plan to lose more weight this year by following a healthy diet and be more serious with my exercise.  On a ligther note, I plan to wear the same shirt too on February 20, 2013 and I will post it here. 

Wish me luck!
