I’m supposed to shoot PETA’s Sa Post Office tonight but it’s been rescheduled to Saturday morning. I might as well go out and chill out tonight, even for a little while, even only over dinner. I have not gone out to just simply sit around and chill in quite a while. I am looking forward to this night! And I will get my hands on Diwa’s CD too.

Last Saturday, a group of people teamed up to hold the first Kikayism photoshoot showcasing our products: clothes, bags and accessories. Kikayism is a seller and reseller of clothes, accessories and bags. Kikayism also puts emphasis on products that are handcrafted or locally-made. Kikayism supports other entrepreneurs so consignments are accepted and collaborations are promoted.

My partner PJ Valenciano organized the event while our other partner, Nikki Valenzuela, manned our little booth at the Flea Market in the Grillery Cafe & Gallery at Guijo St., right beside Saguijo Cafe. We teamed up with Alex, a make-up artist who also let us use her house in Blue Ridge, and GlamBox, an airbrush cosmetics company.

The following photos are not strictly product shoots. Some of them are make-up shots to be included in the make-up artist’s portfolio. PJ called them “editorials”. Me, I think I need to read more on fashion and get subscriptions to fashion magazines. (Sige lang, gooo lang nang gooo!)

I missed Top Junk’s performance in Ten02 Bar last year during Roma’s birthday party so this was the first time I got to see them perform… and boy did I love them! They got themselves one more fan (so much so that we are going to see them perform this coming Saturday, Sept 3 at 70s Bistro. Flush and the Toilets are also playing so that’s one more reason to go!)

I have uploaded the videos of the Top Junk performances from Amrei’s 30th birthday celebration at Route 196 last Saturday videos on the youtube account that I had to make just so I can have a place to upload videos to and share them. I’m new to this video-taking/video-making (like I’m new to “fashion photography” or the semblance of it), so it took me a while to make the videos brighter on iMovie. I re-uploaded the videos. They are now brighter but they are less sharp (which makes me a wee bit sad). It took me at least 3 hours each to upload the videos. I already took down the previously uploaded original videos.

Coming soon. Sorry for the delay. Check back some time soonish.

I first got introduced to Diwa online, on YM chat actually, by my friend Edwin Guillermo. I forget how long ago that was and most importantly, why. Last night for the very first time, I met Diwa and got to listen to his music.

Angku, Edwin, Diwa, Coy and Abet

I am actually embarrassed to say that I have never actually listened to his music though I am sure I’ve been hearing it a lot without my realizing it. After this performance last night at Amrei’s birthday party…

… I can now say, I am a fan. I love your music Diwa. Cheers to more music!!
