BCI Asia Awards 2013

First thing, apologies for not having photos during the event. I have to admit, we arrived late and imagine yourself entering the venue with some delegates staring at you while the speaker is giving his speech. But of course before that, like any other events, we have to go through the registration process - giving out namecards, getting our ID cards and goody bags :D

So after the welcome speech, dinner was served - chinese food!! Hyped to the max, favorites are coming my way - sharksfin soup, steamed fish, mushrooms, almond desserts & ++.. Honestly speaking totally forgot about the rest but definitely it was surely dimsum! Good thing about that night is that I went there equipped with my fine dining skill, so not much to worry with the number of utensils on my side of my plate and yes, food is being serve individually to every guest.

While having dinner, the programme continued. One amazing thing that night is the guy who did the sand art, gotta find the video to share with you guys. He was AMAZING!! To be like him, you need to have THE talent. Then came the awarding part, top 10 architects, developers, etc.. If only I have a copy of the programme then I would be able to recall more but then again this is a late post xp.

Enough said, now I'm excited to share with you what's inside my goody bag :) at least some photos to put up here..

Food Trippin Shots

For all the wants that I've been dying to achieve, another target in line is taking great shots. Whatever subject it may be it's not something I plan to make a career out of, but producing nice ones effortlessly is all good to me. So for today's subject - it's gonna be all food! 

For the love of food, I want to capture the essence of their taste thru how they look. That's how you sell in business anyway, right? So let's go through them one by one..

Test 1: Pork Belly

Home cook belly at mause by yours truly :D added soy sauce for flavoring.

A night to remember: CNBlue Blue Moon World Tour 2013

Okay, before we get all hyped and start spazzing from the amateurish photos I must say it was one h*ll of an experience that night. Kudos to the organizer and boices for making it successful! Yay, more concerts come!! :D just to share some thoughts, the decision to watch the concert came last minute. It popped into my head the night before the show, but good thing quick arrangements were done with the help of the gadgets and the internet. I'm sure all fans would agree when I say "we just need to get it done so we can see our idols!"

Enough words and more shots! Here goes...

Thanks to the seller for making our night possible.

Before the start of the concert, fans screaming when they turned off the lights.

... of Career Life

See you Cebu, Hello Singapore!

A difficult line I have to say or rather a very difficult decision I had made. I find myself unexpectedly in this situation to which I believe can bring me a step closer to my goal, that is to give my family the best of what I can give back to them. Happiness is what I want to achieve not just for me but for people who are truly dear to me and share it around to others, like what they say we only get to live once so must make the most out of it. 

Choosing a career path may sound easy but loving what you do when you start working is a different thing. In my case, it has been a dream to provide my family a home where we don't have to live in a worry so that leads me to take up Architecture. Being in this field one must have lots of perseverance and patience, frankly speaking if the creative line is in the blood you've got the passion to succeed! 

But.. It's not just about being a designer, you must also know how to run the business. Experience showed me a lot, so being a successful professional architect and the process of becoming one is quite challenging. I'm not saying this to discourage anybody, in fact it is a very interesting career. You would get to learn a lot researching on the other field of studies to incorporate into your design. It's just sad to see how other people halt midway realizing this is not what they want to do. The years of experience I had taught me to open up my mind and understand how things should be, thus I'm able to love what I do. You don't hear it from everyone when they say they had fun at work despite having up and down moments.

MYOH - Make Your Own Havaianas 2011

Another post due, MYOH Cebu ended last July 31. I was able to go there for the exclusive media event last July 27 before it was opened to the public the day after. I could say this is one of my most anticipated event yearly, take note ONE meaning there are still plenty to count. ;D

MYOH started years ago in the Philippines. I believe it was 2003 that havaianas hits our country's shore, but it was not until later that I became addicted to them. So here's a shot of what I got myself made, it's the 4th for this year. 

The menu for that evening's event, media, famous local personalities were everywhere. And we just arrived there from work and almost drenched in rain, good thing our umbrellas came in handy.

I wore my Marimekko for that special event, motto: wear havaianas on a havaianas event!

 The cute lil pins that would go into my new pairs. &lt;3

Me showing off my ticket for the 2 free pins. :D

Lastly, Me and my guest, Cath. and together with us is our assembler Pao and another staff you help took a picture before. Thank you! 

The experience has always been amazing year by year, the number of my MYOH pairs has been growing as well. It all adds up to my wonderful collection of havaianas, it would be great showcasing them all but I need to gather those lovely pairs first.. Locating them isn't that easy anymore with plenty of boxes all piled up.. lol 

Anyway, I'm looking forward to another year of fun loving customization of my favorite flip flops brand - havaianas! Thank you for the invite and for the happy memories of making my own pair. &lt;3 &lt;3 &lt;3

xoxo,
