Always Be My Baby.

Finally responded to my friend's invite to dine at Chica-Chica!
Derby's currently the Food and Beverage Manager for San Antonio Resort and after several months of texting, tagging and sending invitations, I finally stepped in the restau. :)


It's my baby bro's birthday today.
And since ze other brother, won't be around until Saturday, we opted to have the affair this weekend instead.



See that? Derby's Burger! 
Haven't tried it yet, but I'll definitely, next time.

Spaghetti Ragu. 

 Cheesy Chicken.
(More like Chicken ala King, only topped with mozarella and parmesan)

 Grilled Salmon.

Cream Dory.

How unfortunate though. Derby's off-duty today. Tssss.
But we tried their food anyways.
Mom said they taste better with Derby cooking them. 
I wanted to agree. :P




 Happy 11th Birthday, Jepoinkpoink!

We had a heart-to-heart talk yesterday.
Me: Will you still be my baby even if you're a big boy na?
Jeph: (sits on my lap and nods)
Me: (kisses and smells him all-over)
HAHA

What I wore:
(It's not you're eyes It's the camera and our faulty settings.)



Maxi skirt!!

 bag from mi Grandma.

brogues: Easy Spirit.
Veiny feet since forever. Sorry. 
Trendelenburg position's the only remedy to make them look normal for a few seconds but that would be very inappropriate to do there.

Pimples, ugggh!

It's his birthday, too!
Happy Birthday Tito!
My baby bro was named after him. 
He's Felipe Neri, my bro's John Philip.
Both born on the feast day of St. Philip Neri. :)

And...
Introducing my new favorite dessert!
Bye-bye blueberry cheesecake...Heee
 Silvanas.
Mom orders them from Cebu. 
I don't know if they have that in Iloilo, but I'm praying hard that they do!
Crunchy outside, creamy inside.
Delightfully yummy.

Finally.

I'm not much a fan of Charice. And my emotions don't even jive with the words because I don't have anyone in mind.
But for the record, I've listened to this song for more than 20x already--just tonight.  <3 <3 <3
Nan. 
Here we go again.
Screw false alarms.
Screw Intimacy vs Isolation.

Budding Teen Vogue à la Mode: JOVEL BIBOSO

Define inborn talent.
It is neither taught nor bought.
It just is.
Like breathing---you take in, you give off.
Zero effort to exert.
It just happens.
It just is. 

She's had no mentors.
No formal training. 
And she's not even of legal age!
But she intends on taking photographs until the day she dies.
How she does it?
One. Inspiration.
Two. Practice.
And three...

You have to read on to find out!!

    HOW TO NAIL A GOOD PHOTOGRAPH
    ---Jovel's way.



    RULE #1.
    Skip the modelling agency.
    The gorgeous ones--preferably of German descent--are available just around the corner.








    RULE #2.
    Set a good, versatile location.
    Where else could that be?
    There's no place like home. :)













    *gasps* 
    The daily sunset view from our subdivision's river sidewalk.



    RULE #3.
    Think High Fashion but don't forget how young you are.
    Be wholesome. Be VERY wholesome.






















    RULE #4.
    Make them swoon via a good-looking couple.





    *That's my nephew up there! Ooohlala. Someday I'd be in-laws with these pretty lasses. 
    Hey Mikko, you got to make that sooooommeeedaaay far from occurring. Studies first! <3

    RULE #5.
    Do it fast.
    Capture movement.



    RULE #6.
    Don't forget thy self.
    Acknowledge vanity.





    RULE #7.
    Dream on.
    Step out and be the fangirl that you are.
    Go gaga over _________.


    Mela: Where do you want to see yourself ten years from now? 
    Jovel: Having a dinner date with Francisco Gaudencio Lupe "Bamboo" Belardo Manalac in a romantic beach!
    (I swear I had no idea what Bamboo's real name was if not for this interview!)

    RULE #8.
    Love God and your country.



    RULE #9.
    Make Your Momma Proud.


    Rule #10.
    Always stay grounded.


    Mela: Best compliment you've received so far?
    Jovel: (referring to a friend's remark) Sis! You are the Queen of Fashion Photography!
    (And her response? Hindi naman masyado! -- Not really! Haha)

    Her young mind says Whatever happens, happens.
    But I say, with your optimism, Whatever happens, you'll definitely go a long way.
    Soar high, dear!

    More of her works in:

    Thanks Jovel!
    I think I'm going lesbo over your cousins.
    They're too pretty!
    Sure I see them every Sunday at church, but your photos captured their best features---
    I couldn't be more mesmerized. :))

    HI guys!
    I'm still on busy mode. 
    But Jovel and I are planning to cook a collaboration maybe next week.
    That's a big MAYBE.
    I hope we could push through before classes start.
