Had a Vintage Valentine x Young Love x Fifth Code Lookbook x Stache Magazine shoot today with Esme, Lorenz, Elisa, Pat, Angela and Ariana. Hands down one of the most tiring shoots ever but I was so happy I got to model for Fifth Code! Such an awesome brand, all of the clothes are amazing! Then had some yummy mango shake & siomai after! Didn’t get to eat isaw though but I had fun! Watch out for it in the next issue of Stache Magazine!

Finally reunited with my Moleskine after so many months! My family and friends know that I enjoy drawing more than anything, so I think it would be a good idea to share something that I’ve always been passionate about. I hope I can post an artwork every week, I guess that would keep me motivated to draw again! Here are some of my works:

I like drawing dead trees. They’re so haunting and really easy to draw! Plus they look best in black & white.

No particular story behind this, I just like drawing girls haha! Had a hard time choosing if she should be a blond-y or a brunette. 

Something inspired from watching too much Nat Geo. Haha this is one of my favorites!

Lazy-eyed dog is lazy. Haha this is how I wanted my future dog to look like, but got a better one! Wooot!

The anus hand gesture. Back in highschool, you’re not allowed to look at it hahaha I don’t know why!

Again, something inspired from Nat Geo. Haven’t seen a panda in my life! *sadface*

Tried drawing the house from The Notebook (the movie) and failed, it looks like Microtel hahaha!

What I would look like 10 years from now. Haha I look super stressed (but still in a blazer haha).

Hipster wolf. No particular story behind this lol.

Tried to go minimalist on this and failed, yet again. Nothing inspiring about this drawing hahaha!

Something I learned from color rendering class. For the hipsters out there haha. 

Unfinished work. Tried making it look like a scene from fast and the furious but the car I drew doesn’t look bad ass at all! Hahaha!

Dream. Used an old toothbrush for the splattered effect. Okay that’s about it! Haha will post more of my amateur artworks soon!

Okay I’ll try my best not to sound like such a fan but this day has been awesome in so many levels! Finally got to meet Georgina Wilson! My friend Bang invited me to come with him (he helped George out in styling her outfit for today’s show). George was so stunning and really nice! She even told me she’ve seen my blog and she was honored ‘cause I blogged about her! *blush* hahaha! Was able to watch Showtime live too! Ethel & Vice were so funny! Hahaha I had so much fun today! Make up by Pong Niu (www.makeupbypongniu.com) and hair by Jeri Sebastian. Both so talented people! Some photos at the dressing room before & after the show:

It’s showtime! 

Just thought of updating my blog ‘cause the wise Yvan Rodic (Facehunter) told me to post everyday, sigh. Haha brought my cam to school today ‘cause I have a new project for this magazine which I really find cool and I’m so happy to be a part of it! Will tell more about it soon! Here’s a few snaps from today:

Lunch with Russel, Fibert & Sha at the caf. My first time to try their lasagna! I usually just order lechon kawali or boneless chicken and coffee jelly. Not bad!

My gorjazzz friend Kim Chanpongco. You have to see her new commercial, she said “i like” hahaha! So proud of you Kimmy!

Meet Kaye Pernia. They call her queen. Hahaha so pretty!

Rachel Kong. She’s so cute!

My dancer friend Toy. He gives the best love advices! Hahaha! 

Herschel Uy. I like calling her Herischzhicullhh haha

Met a new friend today! His name’s HH Lee. When you say his name you gotta say it through your nose hahaha

What I did today in 2D Animation class. Had so much fun drawing this with a stylus pen!

A true hipster looks best with unwashed hair! Hahaha should I get my hair cut? It’s getting pretty out of control hahaha

Attended my grueling six-hour post-production class earlier, edited for five hours and our video runs for only a minute! But good thing my prof’s cool & I’m classmates with some of my blockmates! After class, I met up with friends at BK then went bowling! It was girls vs boys but the boys lost hahaha so embarrassing. Kim was so good wtfff & we noticed some strangers snapping pictures of her haha! Btw, her commercial aired last Wednesday for Sun Cellular! I haven’t seen it yet though! Anyway, had an awesome time bowling! Best stress buster haha! Dinner at Krocodile Grille but then my fam was also near the area so I decided to join em for dinner. It was a best of both worlds hannah montana moment hahaha! Had so much fun with Kara, Vince, Eunice, Bryan, Louie, Ice, Ron, Banggo, Gigs, Philip, Macy, AC, Kim & Russel! Thanks for today guys! 

Spent the last few days of my one week vacation working! Well I would’t call it work ‘cause I was having fun haha went to the Bob Sinclar party last Saturday, then slept for a few hours then went to church. Already missed it last Sunday ‘cause I was in Tagaytay so I forced myself to go. Then had lunch at Amici (yay it’s not self-service anymore). Went home to prepare my clothes for an interview, got picked up at around 3. The on-cam shoot went pretty well! I had fun answering their questions + great food + great company! Haha brought my dog (he was the star of the night haha) with me but he peed countless times and stole the cameraman’s food haha! I was also holding him during the interview, felt like a socialite hahaha kidding! Had dinner at T-Boy after (thanks Raj for the yummy dinner and instax picture!). Thank you Raj, Aline, Nicole, Chey, Jon & Alison. Till next time guys! Back to school tomorrow!

First of all, happy new year! So sorry if I haven’t been blogging lately! But the holiday craze and finals week are over so I’m back to regular programming hehe. Spent my birthday during finals week so I didn’t really get to enjoy it much this year. Plus the holidays just passed so everyone still feels so full from noche buena and media noche haha! Had a simple celebration, here are some photos:

“I wear blazers all-year round, they’re my staple.” —-upon hearing this from a video asking individuals what their personal style is, I wondered what it would be like if, just like in the 1950s, guys would be sporting blazers daily. You don’t have to wait for prom or a wedding just to wear one as my designs are meant for everyday use. When it is quite difficult to be noticed in a group of four, as there are 4 pillars in a building and 4 legs to a table or a chair, the fifth item, almost always makes one stand out.

The ideal client is one who does not take himself too seriously. Yes, he is wearing a blazer but he is still approachable just like  without him wearing one. He can wear it with a graphic tee and a pair of Chuck Taylors or dress it up with a bowtie plus some dress shoes; it does not matter because the look is still effortless. With a James Dean meets Chuck Bass demeanor, the Fifth Code client realizes that although clothes do not define him, this is not a reason for him to dress poorly.

Both blazers (brown military blazer and two-toned gray blazer) costs Php2,500.
