SM Malls Conquer both Ends of EDSA

Malling has been a modern Filipino past time. I could still remember when SM North was the premiere SM Supermall back in the 80's and early 90's and I think from there, the rest was history. But now malling is not just about shopping and watching movies, going to a mall is now a treat!!!

And SM just closed in on both vantage points in EDSA, SM North Edsa, and SM Mall of Asia --
















Random Shots over the weekend

"When Foreground is not necessary"
"Street Lights Sparke"

"Ray of Moonlight I"


"Ray of Moonlight II"

Guess what, we went to Tagaytay again over the weekend. Just when we feel we want to go, we just go and every trip as as exciting as the former - that's the reason why we always look forward going up the Ridge.

This was quite unique since this is the first time that we had seen full moon here in Tagaytay so I have to grab my camera and let the moonlight shed light to my photos. Hehehehe.

Paul Parajas and Dixie Bulaon Pre-Nup Pictures 12.27.09

Last week me and my friend and photo buddy Zar Cortez went on a photo walk down at the Ninoy Aquino Parks and Wildlife. Fortunately, we met two gifted photograhers Ed Altara (http://edaltares.multiply.com/) anf Warly Cunanan (http://warlycunanan.multiply.com/) who had a scheduled pre-nup shoot with two young couples - Paul and Dixie. They let us take some shots and taught us some techniques in taking pictures. Here's a lay-out I did with some of the photos I've taken with the couple. This is my first pre-nup shoot. I'll add more in the coming days.

Tagaytay Weekend

During the long weekend last week (November 30), me and my family went up to Tagaytay for the nth time. But even though we normally go up the ridge, Tagaytay would still offer a bit of excitement and surprise.
