53115

   Today was pretty chill. We didn't do much, which is highly unusual, but fun nonetheless. Today my mom had a shoot for Mega Magazine. This has got to be the fastest shoot Ive ever been to. We were in and out of there in less than thirty minutes! Most shoots take hours, depending on the number of layouts.


Heres a little "Behind The Scenes" action. 


When I entered the room I was shocked to find that it was completely empty (other than what was in the picture above, there was nothing else).






For those of you who don't know, my mom is a model. And has been a model since the age of eighteen. She represented the Philippines in the 2003 Ms. World pageant and placed top 5. Recently, she decided to on take the daunting task of blogging. Be sure to watch out for her first blog post!

Mens Health Training Combine

  Earlier this morning (6am to be exact), my parents, Nicci, and I attended the Mens Heath Training Combine. This was an event like no other, designed to get "You Improved" by pushing your body to the limit. To be honest, we arrived a little late. So I wasn't able to get many pictures. But heres a glimpse of the event.


The combine was held at Sparta, a top-of-the-line gym in Pasig.


Hurdles and obstacle courses were set up outside. 


And on the inside people were trained and worked out by coaches.


Hosts announcing the highest scoring athletes.

With the editor of Men's Health Magazine.

Well there you have it. Although I didn't work out, I sweated buckets because of the heat. So I lost some calories! Anyways, I had a great time at my first combine. Cant wait to join in on the next one!

Veloci White Party

   The other day I had the pleasure of attending the Veloci White Party held at The Palace Pool Club. This was my first ever pool/ all white party. All I can say is that the people behind Veloci know how to throw a party.




The event/ fashion show was held to showcase their new watch designs and the new face of Veloci, Catriona Gray.



Now, I know if I were you, I wouldn't want to be reading about the show. Id want to be seeing it. So here you go. 


Host: Nicole Anderson 


Catriona Gray kicked off the show with a brief performance before walking down the runway. 






Hideo Muraoka, the male face of Veloci. 



I applaud, and have utmost respect for these models. Modeling is not as easy as it looks, especially when you're modeling an accessory. You have to try your best to take the attention away from your face and onto the accessory. Thats quite hard to do given the fact that the audience instantly looks at the face. But these models pulled it off fabulously. 


Game time! After the show they called up a couple of brave souls to participate in their games. 


David Guison, menswear blogger. Fun Fact: he inspired me to make this blog.


Catriona and I


With Inah Estrada, an up and coming actress in the Philippines. 


Well, there you have it. Thanks Veloci for a great time! And congratulations Catriona and Hideo!

American Eagle Summer Kick-Off Party

   Last week my parents, Nicci, and I attended the American Eagle Summer Kick-Off Party held at High Street. The store was electric and vibrant, filled with happy people and summer vibes.


Ive passed by the store millions of times and have never seen it this lively. American Eagle makes me miss home so much! My cousins and I used to go to their States branches all the time. Im so glad they brought one to the Philippines.




The pineapples were like icing on a cake, topping off and giving more effect to the summer vibes.

One thing I love about going to events filled with bloggers is being surrounded by people that share the same passion as me, writing. 


At the event we were given frames. We were asked to use them to post a picture about "Anything and Everything you love about the Philippines". The first thing that came to mind was our uniqueness. You will never find a country as unique as the Philippines. Our unique culture and diversity is, in my opinion, what makes us the best country in the world.
