The weather was perfect for a photography session (Photo by Alex Ebio)

I was with my friends/Officemates who happen to be also a member of Photoville International, a photographers group in the Philippines. We had agreed to wake up early in the morning and do a photo-walk session and capture moments and sceneries at the beach. Here are some of the shots I have taken;

One of the particular subjects I spend time the most were the little kids at the shore and a group of fishermen getting ready for their chores.

It was a great day to bond with friends, to learn new things and do new activities and to forget about work even for a day … hehehe. For sure, we will be back very soon to enjoy another round of summer outing here in Morong Star Beach Resort!

Shot at the ground floor of F*ART

The celebration was held at F*ART Fashion ART, located in 24 J. Erestain cor. K-1st, Kamuning, Quezon City last Saturday, February 4, 2012. I came late at the said call time, but the program started kinda late, so I was still early. The celebration could be felt even without entering the shop, for a band serenades everyone who passes by the place.

LIghts and Music at the entrance of F*ART

Fashion ART (F*ART) is a store conceptualized by creative sisters, Happy Andrada and Viva Andrada, who want to give space for Filipino talent to bloom and grow. Viva and Happy are amazed with what Filipinos can do. They believe in Filipino talent. They encourage others to be proud of what Filipinos can do. Since its onset in 2007, F*ART has consistently been a place where young, fast rising Filipino fashion designers and artists showcase the best of what they have to offer.

Fashion ambassador Happy will represent the country at Czech Republic’s Top Style competition in February; London’s Alternative Fashion Week and Toronto’s Alternative Arts and Fashion Week, both in April. Thou I didn’t had the chance to meet her personally, I’m still hoping to get to know her very soon.

It was a long night of celebration, food was serve and I was delighted with the different sweets on the table.

Delicious

One of the best activity the guest could do in the event was the unique Photobooth called “Flipbooks” it was a new concept where in you will be taking different shots in motion. Compiled into a small book that called “Flipbook”. I don’t have the opportunity to try it, cause I’m a bit shy plus the line was a bit long too, and I felt it is more perfect to do it in groups for it to be more fun.

Everybody wants to try the Flipbook

The sisters - Happy and Viva, with their Mom!

The crowd started to fill-up the place around 9pm, specially on the 3rd floor where the main event is being held.

Look at the crowd at the 3rd floor ...

It was a great experience, thou my overcoming of fear of socializing and my goal to meet new people in this new field hasn’t materialize. I just hope I could do it again sometime. But all-in-all it was a wonderful experience, it was a great event organize by Viva. And I hope to be invited again in their upcoming event in the future.

Congratulations to the sisters! more years to come, and thanks for inspiring everyone and to be driven to go even FARTer!

One Republic

Just like to share the song by One Republic entitled “Secrets”. The musicality as well as the lyrics are great and I think a lot of people can relate to it. Enjoy the music!

SECRETS by One Republic

I need another story | Something to get off my chest  | My life gets kinda boring | Need something that I can confess | ’Til all my sleeves are stained red

From all the truth that I’ve said | Come by it honestly I swear  | Thought you saw wink, no  |I’ve been on the brink, so

Tell me what you want to hear  | Something that were like those years  | Sick of all the insincere  | So I’m gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don’t need another perfect line | Don’t care if critics never jump in line  | I’m gonna give all my secrets away

My God, amazing how we got this far | It’s like we’re chasing all those stars | Who’s driving shiny big black cars | And everyday I see the news | All the problems that we could solve

And when a situation rises | Just write it into an album | Singing straight, too cold | I don’t really like my flow, no, so

Tell me what you want to hear | Something that were like those years | Sick of all the insincere | So I’m gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don’t need another perfect line  | Don’t care if critics never jump in line  | I’m gonna give all my secrets away

Oh, got no reason, got not shame  | Got no family I can blame  | Just don’t let me disappear | I’ma tell you everything

So tell me what you want to hear | Something that were like those years | Sick of all the insincere | So I’m gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don’t need another perfect line | Don’t care if critics never jump in line | I’m gonna give all my secrets away

So tell me what you want to hear | Something that were like those years | Sick of all the insincere | So I’m gonna give all my secrets away

This time, don’t need another perfect line | Don’t care if critics never jump in line | I’m gonna give all my secrets away | All my secrets away, all my secrets away

Happy Eating Guys!

CrossfitMNL have already two branches here in the Philippines (01-27-12)

I woke up early in the morning getting ready for the challenge prepared for me as I tried out the workouts in Crossfit Manila. We’ve visited Libis branch with my team and upon entering, I said “Oh it’s actually looks like a warehouse turned into a gym”, Paulo (coach): Well yeah, all our branches looks like this … 

The open space are allocated for group exercises and workouts

The ambiance would be quite new specially for people who opted their long time working out in the popular gyms in the city hoping it would give them best results for an accumulated time. Well it would really depends on how determined a person is to obtain his personal goal.

Coach Paulo Tatad is very accommodating and even told me to come back and do a session for free ... Thanks coach! (I actually made that up! LOL)

In Crossfit, the workouts are a combination of Cardio, Track & Field, Plyometrics, Rowing, Gymnastics, Kettlebell and Weightlifting. You will be doing the workout together with other Crossfitters of all ages and all fitness levels. It’s actually like attending in school performing the regular P.E. class.

Coach Paulo Tatad entertained us and toured us in the place. They do have very minimal equipments that they use in their routines. Coach Paulo is assigned to do the class in the morning and lunch while Coach Miguel Dy Buncio, the onwer  and is also one of the coaches is assigned later in the afternoon till evening.

Some of the equipments found in the gym

According to Paulo, trainings are per-session basis, around 10-12 students per class. One session could last up to 45 minutes to an hour . Crossfit exercises are considered as high intensity and constantly varied exercises which means youll never repeat the workout.

The Benchmark which I thought was a list of all the names of the students was actually a lists of the names of all their routines. Theres Diane, Danny, Cindy, Elizabeth and a lot more. Coach Paulo said that some of the names here were assigned by the owners in America as a tribute to some of the famous American Soldiers.

Listed here are the different routines they offer. Routines are done as much as you can in a limited time only.

Php 750 is the drop in rate. If you plan to avail one month training with 6 sessions it will costs you Php 3,750.00. A lot cheaper if you will avail the 6 months package or 1-year package. They are also offering Unlimited trainings which starts at Php 5,000.00 for 1 month.

And the time has come! Coach Paulo told me that all the hosts that visited the place have tried something as a challenge. For my challenge, Coach Paulo gave me an 8-minute Cindy Routine. Who’s Cindy coach?

and this was the challenge as Paolo listed down what I will be doing.

Cindy Routine is a combination of push-ups, pull-ups and squats continuously done in a limited time. It’s one heck of a challenge! This is me before the challenge starts, I’m kinda looking fresh here, wait until the training ends.

before the training ... ready to rock and roll!

According to Coach Paulo, the oldest enrollee done the Cindy routine 8 times for 8 minutes, my challenge was to defeat that record. Too much pressure on me … huhuhu. As a starter, I was tasked to do 5 push-ups – 10 pull-ups – 15 squats in 8 minutes. Did I beat the record … you’ll find out later.

Cindy Routine

Check out my feet in the pull-ups, Coach Paulo have already putted a green rubber band to assist me in my pull-ups. It was so darn difficult!

This was the most difficult part of the routine, doing 10 pull-ups!

The coaches are very hands-on and will always check if your doing the exercises rightfully.

15-squats per routine

As I’ve said, the routines could actually be done at home, minus the coaches. But it would definitely better doing it in here specially with the coaches who will push you to your limits and will make sure that you will reach your goals, plus the fun idea of meeting new friends/classmates and having the same goals in a class.

I was pushed to my limits, let's see how many routines could I do.

According to their website, “CrossFit is not your ordinary workout, but it is for ordinary people looking for extraordinary results.” I could say, It’s quite true with my short trial.

8-minutes have pass and in the few seconds before the timer ends, It’s seems like every body was in slow-mo and time was ticking very slow.

Still fresh? Looser!

It was a defeat!!! I’ve only finished 7-routines in 8-minutes, just one more set and I was almost equal to the oldest student. All-in-all, I have done 35 push-ups, 70 pull-ups, and 105 squats in totality. If only Coach Paulo have said that if I defeat the record he would give me a sponsorship for a complete session! I have had done better! Hahahaha!

So who are the people that are to try in this gym ..

• Is bored to death in your gym routine;
• Is looking to shed those extra pounds or reduce the waistline;
• Thinks you don’t have time to exercise;
• Is looking to get faster or stronger in your sport, OR
• Is no longer seeing results with your current training regime,
