CHEERS TO 3 YEARS!


Woah! Let me welcome myself in blogging again! It's really been awhile. I read somewhere that it's hard to spot change everyday but when you look back everything is not the same, everything is different, there are things you might want to do the other way. But of course NO REGRETS to the choices you've made! I keep on asking God what is really my purpose? How can I do things differently? until now I'm at my own quest for searching my relevance in this world. There are desires of mine that I find it so hard to reach no matter how hard I try and as a human it's normal for me to cry out to the Lord. All of us have battles in our lives that we are silently fighting, hoping that someday we can overcome it. All what is happening to me is what God's plan for me. He is the engineer of my life, so I lift it all to him. "For my thoughts are not your thoughts, neither are your ways my ways" declares the Lord "As the heavens are higher than the earth, so are my ways higher than your ways and my thoughts than your thoughts." Isaiah 55:8-9. 

No matter how many crosses we carry there is always a reason to be grateful. Nowadays finding a decent job is hard and here I am celebrating my 3 years in my job.
I celebrated my 3rd year "employment" anniversary last week. I got hired by Accenture last September 19, 2011. This is not my first job but this is where I found genuine happiness. Happiness in working with people that are understanding, caring and kind. 


Accenture hired employees by batch, so in my case we were 11 when hired and yes we are still alive and kicking in the company except for Alvin who is now in Australia. Before our anniversary celebration typhoon Mario hit Cebu and paralyzed the workers in coming to the office on time due to heavy flood in the city. Jake was trapped in his place and was absent during this year's celebration. 

We celebrated it at Duz grill (click the link for their website) at 33A Fourth Street, San Antonio Village, Apas, Lahug, 6000 Cebu City.


The food was great and the personnels were very accommodating. 
Food photos grabbed from Cha Lato. We enjoyed our lunch as batch mates.  Let me show you our throwback celebrations over the years :)

2013

I just didn't celebrate my anniversary in 1 day but I spent the whole week last week celebrating it with the people I love and treasure. 


I really love to spend time with these guys. My respect and love for them are high as the highest mountains. They are very transparent and real. I really find sincerity in them. Thank you for coming along and saying yes to me when I said I was craving for La Marea's salted caramel brownie cup. Sorry gays for the craving blame it on the hormones! hahaha...


That night after I spent it with my high school best friends, Mel and Iyes. We are 4 in the group but Des is still in Australia and very focus in her studies I supposed. Can't hide it but I am waiting for December to arrive for Des to be back home for Christmas. :)


We ate at Brique (click the link for the website). A place good for dates. 
Lucky us! We didn't have any reservations made that day but we were accommodated right away.
After having dinner we decided to look for somewhere to talk so I brought them to Fujinoya.


Since I said my goodbye to coffees last July, my recent obsessions are teas and fruit juices (not powder).



Last Friday I wrapped up the week with my officemates over a not-so-pricey dinner. But it was so full of laughs, jokes and chitchats. Chowabunnga offers yummy food at a very affordable price, when I say affordable it means that my dinner was only for 100 pesos and it was already a Katsudon.

So to end this post, Let me raise my pink moscato champagne and CHEERS TO 3 YEARS and MORE in Life and Love. 

(Thanks Mike Lora for this drink)

CARRIE FROM DOWN UNDER


Carrie is a cousin of a best friend of mine, We first met 5 years ago when we had dance rehearsals for my best friend's debut. She's a Filipina-Australian studying in Adelaide, Australia. She's here in Cebu for a vacation. We had this shoot in Citylights Garden Condominium. Thanks to Mely for offering the place and Desy for the clothes. I shoot together along with Kaye Patrick Pableo.

I am not a fan of editing too much, I just want to fix or enhance a photo but for the 2 photos below I wanted to achieve a sun kissed look so I put more yellow and red. Let me know if it looks good or not.

Thank you

Let's call it Bohemian





When my friend Angie told me she wants to have a bohemian shoot I gave her a YES! I love bohemian concept it ensembles a beauty not everyone can appreciate because of it's uniqueness in nature. Curious as always I researched about "bohemian" and its origin and I found out that bohemian is someone who lives an alternative lifestyle usually creative and have an extremely different tastes in music, literature and fashion, It started in the 19th century in France when they believed that they have to stop living the conventional way and to start wearing and showing to the people who they are through the clothes they wear and the music they play. It was called the Bohemian movement although that movement ended however they left a large influence in the genre of music and fashion.

This photoshoot was made possible with the help of my friends in Accenture and my friend in YFC
Thanks Claire, Jesil, Riza, Mitch (Angie's cousin) and Nica (my friend in YFC) and also to my friend Aby for coming with me =)


Thanks to Angie for the make-up, Style Avenue for the outfits used and cheers to the other photographers who were with me in this shoot.
