Glimpses of Manila

The Manila Polo club is a place I hold in very fond memory. Me and my cousins and brothers used to go there all the time from Karate lessons to swimming. It was a place of awesome memories with my friends. If you have time to pass by please do. I hope you enjoy it as much as i have. =)

Start of being a Loser

I have been overweight all of my life. Since I was a child, I have always been over weight. Eating has always been enjoyable for me. Unfortunately the food that i have enjoyed is also harmful to my health. Fats, Sugars etc, I love all these things. Not caring about the consequences of eating such things if done for a very long time will make you an Overweight person. Today is the first day of my journey of saying, "I cant take it anymore and will do everything i can to fix the hole i have made for myself". I will document my journey so it will help me stay on track. Thanks very much for passing by. I intend to lose all the weight by a regiment of strict diet and excersize. Wish me luck.

New Toy for Blogging =)

I have been using my 5d mark 2 for a while and in my opinion it is just unbeatable. Unfortunately there are places i cannot take the cam comfortably such as a golf game or just everyday walking around.

That's why i decided to get the G10. It was a toss up between the g10 and the lumix but the additional compatibility of the G10 to my cannon items such as remote trigger and Flash made all the difference.

I've been going around testing it and the IQ is very very good. Ill give more input with this item as i continue to use it. =)

Most Powerful Man in the World Uses Canon 5d Mark 2

Barack Obama's new official photo is the first official presidential portrait taken with a digital camera, according to Obama's Web site.

It's also the first official presidential portrait taken with Canon's sexy new EOS 5D Mark II, too, as Daring Fireball notes. ("No flash, 105.0mm focal length, 1/125 exp, f/10.0, ISO100.")

I've always loved Canon. I also enjoy that he uses the same kind as me. Way to go Mr President, You have my vote.

FBS is born

As a collector I collect lifesized pieces. I enjoy them so much that i got to talking to other lifesize collectors. Most of them had the same complaints, no one does the pieces that they really want.

I set out to begin FBS. I am a sculptor as well, but my skills are no where near the very good sculptors of our country. I needed some one very very good. We took a trip to the town of Paete and there i went to look for a Sculptor who can do the pieces that we want. I wasnt easy cause before you can find someone your happy with you first have go through others who dont really fit the bill.

Back to my PAETE trip. I was asking around and I met this young man who really just looks like a boy. He was tending shop and beside him where the most beautiful portrait sculpts i have ever seen. I approached the young boy and asked him where was the man who did those works. He answered that he was the one who did these pieces. I was in Awe, Apparently he has been sculpting since the age of 8. He is extremely good and through proper direction he could only get better. I decided to pay him twice what he was making and thats how FBS was born. His name was Gemmo Villaverde. In a little town in Laguna. Barely the size of Glorrietta and Greenbelt. I remember walking through that town and being taken back by the sights and sounds. Thank you PAETE.

Art Producer Part 4 "The Filipinos Unite"

When we were at our lowest every filipino collector carried the load and we all tried to mend our broken name including HM. We are a different group from a year ago when we were ridiculed. Now people look at Filipino Collectible Craftsmanship with new respect. Our pieces sell for high prices at ebay which shows that everybody is appreciating the Art pieces coming from our country.

Collectors from all over the world now know where the Philippines is. None of this would've been possible without the tribulations that bought everybody together in the first place.

The Filipino "can" compete with anybody. We only need unite and endure.
