It’s great to see Greenhills again. It’s been a long time since I went to Greenhills — the last time I went to San Juan doesn’t even count — and it was a good opportunity to revisit the complex after I attended a Rotary Club design seminar at Club Filipino. (Note: I was the delegate for the RC Mutya ng Pasig, District 3800) Club Filipino Speaking of Club Filipino, I only knew it as the place where President Corazon Aquino took oath as the first female president of the Philippines, but it feels similar to the Makati (Sports) Club in which I’ve visited for my work. ...

August 11, 2016 — SMX Manila I finished manning the seminar for the PRA Stores Asia Expo 2016 when I visited the SIP Expo — it’s the second time I did so — and I’m still astonished, more than ever, in the latest broadcast tech that’s there. Without further adieu, here are a plethora of photos.

These photos are taken from the FEBC Philippines studios at 43rd Floor of the One Corporate Center in Pasig, during my interview for 702 DZAS. If you want to know what I talked about, visit the Facebook page of the Philippine Business and Entrepreneurs Expo.

After doing a trip with fellow members of the DTV Pilipinas organization at the DICT Building in Quezon City, we stopped over to the UP Town Center to discuss the aftermath and future plans for the organization.

Here are the photos I took there. ...

(Also in the next segments of this post: Personal Events Calendar) I was at the Caliraya Resort Club in Laguna yesterday for our company outing, and I actually ended up getting more videos instead of the usual photos. The scenery from both sides of the Sky Bicycle route. One memorable scene there is the Sky Bicycle, where I rode a bike. All that I had to do is to close my eyes and scream when I’m in panic, and pedal all the way to the endpoint back and forth. ...

So earlier, I stopped by the Shangri-la Plaza Mall (after I attended a seminar), and I saw this exhibit by Rustan’s and the National Commission on the Culture and the Arts (NCCA). What really tickled my fancy in the exhibit is the salakot, which is made from half of a gourd. I’ve seen the salakot before in IBC-13’s award-winning “Pinoy ang Dating” opening billboard. I don’t know if it’s really called a salakot but it’s a hat that’s common to Filipinos starting from the Spanish colonial times. ...

After composing another experimental track yesterday, I went to Bonifacio Global City to hang out with cosplayers and friends at Terra 28th, the common spot for photoshoots. Aside from us, there are two other groups of photographers hanging out inside Terra 28th, which is great. I got an invite from Allineus, whom I met at the same spot months ago. Unlike other photographers who carries with them DSLR cameras, this guy brings in his Apple iPad — and yet, he knows what he’s doing. He’s a multimedia arts graduate, and he’s fluent in Adobe applications, which made me think “I should’ve taken that course if the school I graduated to has one”. ...

Taking a break from the recently-finished Tourism Lifestyle & Business Expo, here’s the photos that I took in the middle of the night. The one above is at Kapitolyo in Pasig at twilight, where there’s no one around. This one is at the Glorietta Mercato Centrale night market — a half-liempo meal worth Php50, just the right one I want to eat as a treat after being on the field for half a day or so. ...

There’s this event called “Batuhan ng Camera sa BGC ng mga Cosplayers,” which is actually another cosplay photo shoot with friends, and I placed this on today’s agenda aside from the WSFC Jamboree. Here’s the photos of cosplayers that I took: …and here’s more photos that I took as well — this time, from a behind-the-scenes perspective: Thanks to all of the cosplayers whom I have bonded with — let me know if you want to see your pics so I can send those to you. Also, thanks to Jus (he’s donning the female Yuno Gasai and I believe he’s a guy) for the nightmare fuel — yours are the best shots so far.

I’m up again for another quick post for this week. I’ve taken the headline photo from this hotel called Luxent at Timog Avenue in Quezon City. You are free to think negatively about this, but that is actually a sign for the restroom in the 5th level. …and this is how their lobby looks like. Cool. …and that’s another quick post. Looking forward to see you outside tomorrow as I go take a break from work. See you somewhere, friends.
