The wedding of my Professor…

John Paul and Michelle or better know as Chi had their wedding ceremony!! Before I start Chi is my professor during my college days where I took up my culinary arts degree and we worked together in a hotel chain for my training. Last Sunday I was able to take coverage of her wedding ceremony as one of her photographer. We all started early in the morning for all preparation needed by the bride, groom and families. It was quite a long day for everyone of us. From the hotel, church up to reception we all had fun and end it with a big smile on our face! I’ll share some of the photos that I took from last Sunday! 🙂

Congratulations again to fire chief Paul and Chef Chi!! Best wishes!

Sulyap Gallery Cafe & Restaurant: Experience a Taste of the Past

Last week I had a chance to travel to San Pablo, Laguna with my friends and cousin for business. A friend of mine who’s from San Pablo recommend this historical place for us to have our lunch. It was an impromptu trip so I was not able to bring my camera so have to make the best out of an Iphone.

When I went inside the restaurant I really feel living in a spanish era from the tables, chairs, windows, paintings, photos and some vintage items.

Instead of waiting for our food at our table we went to their gallery / museum. Where they showcase vintage items and furnitures, it’s a must visit for place vintage lovers since everything in the museum are personal collection.

After the museum we head back to the restaurant and had our lunch.

Speedfest by Autoindustriya.com

Philippines maybe advertise as a 3rd world country but there are still plenty of great stuff to see and enjoy aside from the beaches and natural scenery. Wanna know why “It’s more fun in the Philippines.”

Last February 2012 Autoindustriya.com (AI) organized an event called Speedfest where car enthusiast and racers are invited to join. The event consist of Gymkhana, 1/4 mile run and mile run drag. So where in Philippines was this held? AI rented the whole Subic International Airport for the event, where runway was used for the mile runs and the plane docking area was used for the gymkhana. Anyway I’ll cut the chase, I’ll show you some of the photos that I took during the event.

The Ford GT could be the fastest car in Philippines. It ran 205 MPH in one mile making it the fastest car during the event.

Will these photos fit the slogan “It’s more fun in Philippines.” I’ll say hell yes! It was a successful event, there was no bad incident or accident during the event except for some blown engines but those are normal happenings in this kind of event. Are you looking for more of it? We all have to wait for the 2nd speedfest event maybe this last quarter of 2012! I hope you enjoyed it!

Noriter Cafe! The perfect place for coffee!

Recently I’ve done a photoshoot for a clothing company that was held in Noriter Cafe. It’s located in Estrada St. corner Taft Avenue, no one would expect that such a home student feel like coffee shop exist in the area. The entrance is only a small open door that immediately  leads to a staircase or 2nd floor where Noriter is located.  I’ll be posing photos of the place to give you the feeling of being there at least visually :p

This is the wall where you can design your own cup and share it to the world!

The tables that are full of photos, polaroids etc! Which is very nice and don’t forget you can also leave your photos 🙂

This is their order counter together with their colorful menu! The price range of the drinks and food averages 130, they have plenty of drinks and food to choose from. I tried their cookies and cream and their iced tea which happens to be really good for the price and size! You can click on the pic to see their menu!

The flying objects!

This are just some of the detailed shots, you should see it for yourself there are lot more great stuff waiting for you! There’s a section where you can remove your shoes and sit on the floor, lay down etc! To some that they feel it so homey they sleep on it and not to mention the PDA session as if no one else is there! haha :p Overall I really like the place you guys should try it and see for yourself!
