* Happy New Year [2010]

I just wanted to greet everyone a Happy New Year! This is my first entry to my blog this year and I said to myself to blog more this year. Alot of things happened during 2009 good times and bad times. Some things made us jump from our seat because of excitement and happiness and some made us cry and felt us alone. I'm sure many thing have been learned and let's all face the new year positively. Best wishes to everyone and thank you for being part of my life in 2009.

* My Puppy [2 months after]

Our cute puppy started to be with us around last week of October. Before she was really quiet and shy but now she is always hyper and wanted to play. My puppy wanted to eat everytime and she eats everything even fruits, chocolates and vegetables. She's heavier and loves to run all over the house. It was really nice when we first heard her bark and she does that everytime especially with our visitors. My puppy is really sweet everytime me, my Mom or my brothers would arrived, she is already in the door waiting for us waving his tail. Even though it's hard to clean his poops, I'm still happy we had her in the house :)

A lot of things had changed and happened for me this 2009 and I can say Christmas would be the last one. This was the first time that I spent Christmas eve at work.

* GE Money Fierce and Fabulous 3rd Annual Townhall

/ 12.20.2009 | Palms Country Club Filinvest, Alabang /

2nd time to do modelling

The original date for the company's Christmas party was supposed to be the 13th but it was moved to the 20th for some reason. This is my 2nd Christmas party with my company GE Money Servicing Philippines. I am excited and at the same time a little nervous because I was included again to represent our Portfolio (Chervon) for the Annual Fashion Walk Off, I can say last year was really not cool. The theme of the party is Fierce and Fabulous (Red) so everyone is wearing red. Party started a little bit late, us and the other models are seated in a different location. Speech was given by the Site Leader and Awards and raffles are also given.

Team Stu

Food was served and it was great, I can say I loved the Sushi and Salad. After eating the Boss from different Portfolio's danced and it was really nice, Dance contest also happened after that and finally the Fashion Walk Off, Carlos Agassi (model, actor and body builder) was one of the judge. Everything went well and all the designs are great, unfortunately we didn't win but that's okay. Party ended around 10pm and we took photos with friends and teamates during the party.

* FHM Philippines December 2009 issue with LJ Reyes

The first FHM event for December 2009 was supposed to be last December 11 but unfortunately cover girl LJ Reyes was sick during that day so the FHM event was moved to December 19 (Saturday) and will be held at the same location as always at teh Robinson Galeria Movie World. I was not feeling well during that day but I told myself this would be my last event for 2009 and I at the same time I wanted to meet LJ Reyes and have my December issue personaly signed by her. FHM meet and greet with LJ Reyes is scheduled from 6pm - 8pm and I arrived around 6pm and the line is not that long compared to the previous signings. The event was hosted by Sam YG of Magic 89.9 FM and the signing started around 6:30pm.

LJ Reyes (Lourna Jane Pujeda Reyes) by the was is a runner up for the second season of GMA 7's reality TV show Starstruck, she mentioned that her birthday is December so she thinks that maybe this month is the month that she should try posing for FHM, which is her first time as well to pose for a men's magazine.

my favorite photo inside the mag

LJ Reyes was really nice and friendly during her meet and greet and even asked for continuous support for next year. The event is very organized and it went well. Till the next FHM event for 2010.

* It's a Wrap: Rogue Magazine Christmas Bash at Encore

It was also my first time in Encore (lol) last time I was here was during the Embassy days which is a long long time. Anyways We arrived around 9pm and security was really strict, we registered and we are given the latest issue of Rogue Magazine (which is really cool) back issues are also free so I took the Rogue issues that I don't have. I was able to get my DSLR cam inside. It was open bar from 9pm onwards beer, vodka, jimbean, soda and more. Food is also being offered by the staff in every table. Party is really nice and the crowd is cool.

* UFC 107: Penn vs. Sanchez

/12.12.2009 FedExForum, Memphis, Tennessee/

History from Wikipedia.org

On October 21, it was announced that a previous matchup between welterweight contenders Thiago Alves and Paulo Thiago had been changed to Alves vs. Jon Fitch because Fitch's opponnt for UFC 106, Ricardo Almeida, suffered an injury. Paulo Thiago fought on UFC 106 on November 21 against UFC newcomer Jacob Volkmann and won the fight by Unanimous decision.

It was then announced on October 30, that Fitch would again be without an opponent as Alves was forced to withdraw because of a posterior cruciate ligament tear. It was later announced that Jon Fitch will face Mike Pierce at UFC 107.

Paul Buentello was scheduled to face Todd Duffee on the card, but an injury has forced Duffee to pull out. Buentello faced Stefan Struve on the card.
A middleweight bout between Alan Belcher and Wilson Gouveia was changed to a 195-pound catchweight bout after Gouveia asked for a 190-pound catchweight limit, but Belcher gave a counter-offer of 195 pounds.

Main Card

* Heavyweight bout: United States Paul Buentello vs. Netherlands Stefan Struve

It was nice UFC event first is with the Florian and Guida fight next if seeing Jon Fitch back in the UFC then came the Mir fight, I can say I was amazed seeing how Mir gained mass and he looks big now. The fight was really fast and I'm looking forward for the Mir vs Lesnar 3 soon and finally the main event, Penn showed that he is the best at 155lbs outclassing his opponent Diego Sanchez. Penn showed his takedown defense and his striking ability hitting Sanchez hard and it all ends in Round 5 because of the cut Sanchez got.

* Mark and Gina Morfe's Wedding

/12/06/09 UST Church/

A good friend of mine ask me to be the Bestman for his wedding, it was my first time to do this and I feel excited at the same time nervous. I was on leave for December 5 (Saturday) then woke up early and went to the hotel where my friend is staying. I arrived around 7:30am and ate breakfast, we went up to the room and rest for a bit. After an hour we started to preapare and then the Photographers arrived and started taking photos of me and the groom. Around 12 noon we went to UST church and the wedding was held. I was the first one to walk to the shrine and I was so nervous but I'm happy everything went ok. The wedding is really nice but I wasn't able to take alot of photos because I am the bestman. Wedding ended around 2:30pm and then we took photos outside the church.

Click here for the photos that I took.

Reception is held at Magsaysay (in front of Diamond Hotel). I can say food is really nice, I was asked to do the toast for the couple and a little speech. My friends Alex and his wife and Robin was also there. Everything ended around 7pm and I went straight to work. A very tiring but happy day and I do congratulate my friend Mark and Gina, I know they really planned this and everything went out fine.

* Tayo and Taumbayan, Tayo ang Pagbabago

I was just informed by a friend that there was a concert that will be held at Makati Ave. so I said I would try to go there to kill time. I was walking around Ayala and I was able to see my friend She and she that Moonstar88 is also playing in the said concert so we walked together to Makati Avenue. It was not an ordinary concert it was a people's tribute to CNN Hero Efren Penaflorida and at the same time people who will attend are ask to bring gifts, food and donations that will be given to the victims of Maguindanao Massacre.

The event was hosted by Jim Paredes and Mikee Cojuangco, her wife Dodot was there and Senator Kiko Pangilinan. There's alot of people in yellow who are watching the event. I've heard that they walked from the Ninoy Aquino Statue in Ayala Avenue from 3:00PM and went to Makati Avenue, concert started 5:00PM. Some roads are closed that caused a little traffic but everything is ok when we arrived around 7:30pm. I was able to take photos of Moonstar88 as they perform and I was happy because this was my first time to attend an event something like this from a far it was like a rally but it was not. Hope everything would be solved and justice would prevail in the Maguindanao Massacre.

* Playboy Philippines December 2009 Event with Jacq Yu at Z-Bar Greenhills

My second stop for the day, I was invited by a friend who is current cover girl for the Playboy Philippines December issue non other than Jacq Yu to attend her event. I wasn't able to go the Playboy radio tour but I was able to attend the launching and press con of the December issue at Z-Bar in Greenhills. I arrived around 8pm at Z-Bar and Jacq was not yet there. Of course the Playboy bunnies are there and the playmates for the previous months. This would be my 5th Playboy event and I can say I do enjoy attending the Playboy launchings and parties.

Jacq Yu arrived around 9pm and of course photo ops in the Playboy wall. It was really cool that they are giving glow in the dark lolipops and Christmas candies in the registration area. Foods and drinks are served and also alcohol by "The Bar". I also saw some models who are I think applying to be a Playboy model. Phem Martinez the Playmate of the month is also present in the event and I can say she is really nice and pretty.

The Press con started and Playboy announced that they will also be having the Playmate of the Year contest just like with Playboy US where they will a chosen one between the 12 playmates for the entire year. After the introduction of the cover girl and the playmate is the question and answer for the press people. After the interviews is the signing of the copies of the latest issue. I'm happy because I was able to have my copy signed by both Jacq Yu and Phem Martinez. I was able to take photos of the inspiring Playboy models, the bunnies, the playmate and the cover girl. Saw some familiar faces and friends in the event as well.

with Jacq Yu (December 2009 Cover Girl)

I left early around 11pm because I still have work by 12mn, looking forward for more Playboy events like this and I wanted to say keep it up and congrats.

* Converse Sale December 3 - 6, 2009

A yearly sale by Converse held at SM Megatrade Hall from 40% - 70% off. Last year I was able to go inside and check the items on sale and I can say the price of the shoes especially the famous "Chucks" are really really low compared to the mall price.

Moonstar88

Just like last year Converse has a mini-concert event where shoppers can watch it. For this year Moonstar88 played again together with Paraluman for day 1 of the sale (Thursday). I arrived late and I wasn't able to watch Paraluman but I was able to watch and take photos of Moonstar88.

Now that most of us had our bonus, I can say this would be the best time to shop specially for Converse fanatics.

* Amazing Video by Black Eyed Peas

I just saw this video recently at youtube and damn it gaved me goosebumps. From one person dancing in front then everyone followed. I love this song so much. Enjoy the video :)

* Bigger Stronger Faster [movie]

Ever since the New Moon movie was shown almost every gym rat is talking about the steroids issue about Taylor (Jacob Black), a friend who also lift weights in the same gym where I life weights told me to watch this movie. SOme people in the gym as well are into steroids nowadays but not me.

I just recently watched this movie about Steroids, a documentary about the illegal substance or drug called steroids used by body builders, athletes and by other people for a different purpose. I was shocked and learned a lot after watching the movie. Stars like Hulk Hogan, Sly Stallone, Athletes and Arnold admitted they took steroids. This movie shows as well that some supplements are not "that" effective like Hydroxycut because the endorsers are also Roids users. This is a good documentary and also a life story of a family and how Steroids affected and changed their lives.
