Candlelight: the best birthday surprise yet...

last December 17, I celebrated my 24th birthday. Much to my surprise, my man Jeremy organized the biggest, most precious, and the best birthday surprise ever for me. Here's some of the photos of that night.

Katrina Manlutac's Debut Party 11.27.11

I was just supposed to shoot videos for that event. But Wella Fan, the main photographer of the event and the person who got me as videographer, had her flight from a wedding in Boracay delayed. So I helped Mao, her 2nd shooter to shoot some photos. Two pairs of eyes are always better than one right? :D Wasn't supposed to bring my Nikon D40 that day but at the last minute I decided to put it on my backpack with the intention to use it to shoot some BTS.

Preparation Venue: Eastwood Richmonde Hotel
Debut Party Venue: The Glass Garden

fishball food trip

was out yesterday and we were at Metropolitan Hospital in Masangkay and we decided to go for that fishball stand we were so fond of when my mom was confined at that hospital. so here's a few photos of our food trip. :D

the fishball stand at Masangkay. there's the kwek-kwek (quail eggs wrapped in flour), fishballs, squid balls, and kikiam.
