Lopez Museum celebrates 50th anniversary

Way back in high school, my classmates and I almost made it to the Lopez Museum as a part of the educational field trip. Too bad it was axed out from the itinerary the last minute due to some undisclosed reasons. I remember one of my classmates got really depressed since he’s into paintings, arts and the works.

I passed through the Lopez Link site awhile ago and I found out that the team is gearing up for a very special project as Lopez Museum celebrates 50th anniversary on February 18. It is a good opportunity for Museum lovers to take advantage of this celebration as a lot of programs are in-stored to the delight of the visitors.

Musicfest 2010 : Boyce Avenue, Jabbawokeez and Kris Allen Live!

So where was I last Wednesday afternoon? Well, I went to work at 1:30PM and left after two hours. I found myself together with  Judd, Carlos, Patty and Maki at Eastwood Mall. Why? Errr… we went there to catch the press conference of Musicfest 2010 featuring international acts like Boyce Avenue, Jabbawokeez and Kris Allen! Yes, these three artists are performing Live in Cebu today (February 5) and in Manila tomorrow (February 6).

Go Natural with Body Flavors!

Last December 18, I attended the Blog4Reviews Christmas Party. Though I was late for the exchange gifts and raffle draw, I was able to get my own goodie bag courtesy of one of the best organic soaps in the Philippines called Body Flavors.

It is not a secret in the world of vanity that most people would rather use the eco-friendly soaps rather than the commercial ones. Body flavors, which is owned by the very sexy Azenith Badana is one of the fast-rising soap companies today. In fact, they were even featured in Cebu Pacific’s InFlight Christmas 2009 issue.

So what is the edge of Body Flavors among it’s competitors? The packaging is very simple yet beautiful. It is perfect for gift-giving or for party and corporate giveaways. The selection of their effective organic soaps is pretty impressive.

Weekend Trip in Cebu City (again!)

Where did I spend my much-deserved weekend laag last week?The answer is Cebu City! Who would have thought that I went to Sugbu thrice last year?

I originally planned to attend the Sinulog Festival 2010, but I booked on the wrong weekend 😐 As usual, my weekend trip to Cebu is full of food, adventure and fun!

More Reasons to Love Cebu! :D

I am still organizing my thoughts as I type this summary post about my Cebu Trip together with Bong and Winston. Here’s a little preview on what to expect in this blog, in Senyorita and in Patay Gutom:

Luna Bar & Resto – The Newest Gimik Place in Greenhills!

My most-loved area in Metro Manila is Greenhills. Why? Aside from the fact that it is a perfect place for shopping to Tiangge lovers, there’s a number of malls, restaurants, coffee shops and gimik places there. It is also located in the middle of the North and South part and yeah, I live in this area 😛

Luna Bar and Resto - The Newest Gimik Place in Greenhills!

The only thing that I noticed in Greenhills is that there is a limited number of nightlife places. Most of the establishments here closes at around 1am that’s why I have no choice but to go home by that time.
Last January 16, I attended the first-ever event my friend Hannah organized! Together with Vince of WhenInManila.com, they organized the Grand Launch Party for Luna Bar & Restaurant, the newest gimik place in Greenhills!

Because I’m One of the Boys

One of the Boys – I am not really sure if this is the best place to write about this thing that is bothering me as of the moment, but I will still write it here since it’s my personal blog anyway.

Most of my male friends see me as ‘One of the Boys’. No, I am not a lesbian nor a bisexual. I am not wearing loose pants and shirts either. I am just plainly one of the boys.

Just like one of the boys, I wear slippers in the hospital

Just like one of the boys, I wear slippers in the hospital

To those who know me very well, it is an open fact that I have a lot of male friends compared to the female ones. Some were even teased to me, but nothing really romantic went in the way.

See, I never had a boyfriend. Some girls my age might be alarmed if they are in a situation similar as mine. You know, being around guys but you always end up as the rose among the thorns? You are very much loved and protected by the thorns and they will prick every possible bad element who would intend to hurt you.

PROJECT52WEEKS.COM – 52 Weeks, 52 Short Films

After acquiring my very own Panasonic DMC-LX3 as a Christmas gift to myself, I started my very own photoblog at Tumblr called LX3 Moments, wherein I will be posting one photo a day with a corresponding information about the photo. It is a known fact in the bloggers that photo hobbyist started with their own Project 365 Days.

Micamyx's Project52Weeks starts now!

Micamyx's Project52Weeks starts now!

Want to know the real reason why I chose the LX3 instead of buying another type of camera? I love it because it is handy, easy to use and I can possibly take HD clips. I am not a professional photographer. In fact, I don’t even plan to put watermarks on my photos (unless maybe if i am not as lazy as I am today). I simply want a good camera. That’s it.

Ok, enough of that 😛 Just last week, I mentioned to a friend that I am planning to start with my own online video blogging project. My aim for this one is to shoot at least one short film using my Panasonic DMC-LX3. I want it to be on-the-spot and spontaneous. I bought the domain right away and launched the site last Sunday 😛

DVD Player Hunting at OLX

Here’s another fact about me: I am a lazy shopper. Unlike most girls who would spend hours looking for a specific clothing or accessories in the mall and still enjoy it, I am the opposite. I may be a mall person, but I usually hangout there with friends in a restaurant or coffee shop. I don’t really spend my time in the department store of shopping stores not unless I really need to. Experience Shoppok’s convenience, where shopping is as easy as a click of a button. Shop from the comfort of your home, choose from a wide array of products, and have your purchases delivered straight to your doorstep.

Buying appliances or gadgets is no exemption. I remember when I bought my camera, I went to the store upon seeing an ad in a BPO Magazine. I went to the store with my friends and I think I only spent a few minutes there. I originally planned to buy a DVD player, but pft, I can’t really contain the large amount of buyers that day so I decided to just eat somewhere 😛

The Old Screenplay

Six months ago, I turned one of my short screenplays into a short film. Before the production stage of The 12th of June, I secretly wished that Jade Lopez would agree to give life to the character of Eloisa, who is a virtual assistant who took a one week break from her hectic work at home (nah, she’s not a housemaid, but she works at home). We shot the 22 minute short film in 14 hours. The first part of the post-production somewhat made me feel hesitant to further continue with the whole film. Thanks to those who believed in the story of the film, I was able to complete the whole thing with flying colors.

The 12th of June Script and Storyboard

The 12th of June Script and Storyboard

It’s been my dilemma for the past few days on which concept to shoot first. I have a number of ideas that I would like to write a screenplay for and eventually transform it into a short film. With the deadline I set for myself, I have to consider a lot of things – Schedule of my cast and crew, location, storyboard, equipments (camera, boom mic etc) and of course, the budget. It’s nice to have a lot of ideas in your minds, but the most challenging part there is to choose on which comes first or what concept to prioritize. If only I am a boss of a film outfit with tons of moolah – i’d probably produce a lot of short and full-length films.
