* Boxer Edwin Valero kills himself

I was shocked when I saw in one of the newspapers that the WBC Lightweight Champion Edwin Valero (28) killed himself in jail by hanging himself using his sweat pants. He was arrested for killing her wife Jennifer Carolina Viera (24) in a hotel room.

* Genie (SNSD) Photoshoot

Cloud Nine cosplaying Girls' Generation (SNSD)

Eventhough I only slept for an hour I told myself I can't miss this SNSD (Genie Theme) photoshoot at Belair Makati (Sir Richie's House). It's been a while since my last photoshoot and this is my first time to do a shoot in a studio. A total of five photographers including me, Sir Richie, Kira, Rowen and Yuber and the nine models who would portray the famous K-pop girl group SNSD "Girl's Generation" Jobel, Tza, Haze, Mai, Jem, Ivy, Trisha, Ann and Carina. The shoot started around 2pm and ended around 8:30pm, it was very tiring but it was fun and it's worth it. Each photographer did get a chance to take 5 photos per model and 2 photos per group shots. Lookign forward for the next photoshoot :)

Mark, Me, Arra and Alex

MIAS is one of the major car event held yearly at World Trade Center Pasay City and I wasn't able to attend the first and second day. Like the previous MIAS the event featured new car models, exhibits, beautiful models and customized cars. Ticket is only for 50 pesos. Photographers, Buyers and car enthusiast gathered for this event. I was able to see my friends in the said event (Photographers, Officemates and Models) and took photos as well. Arrived around 3pm and left around 8pm. The event is really nice and I'm loooking forward for the next one.

* FHM March 2010 Issue with Bangs Garcia

Yesterday (April 13, 2010) is the schedule for the FHM March issue autograph signing. I already had my copy signed by Bangs during the FHM-X Party so I came in this event so that Iwa could sign my copy as well. Unfortunately only Bangs is there to sign the FHM March issue. Even though it's a little bit disappointing I can say I had fun because Bang is really really pretty and nice, saw my friends as well who regularly attend FHM events. The line is not that long and the event ended around 7:15pm. I really hate it when there are bouncers in the signing even though they are really not that needed in that event because they are really that strict, c'mon dude we are not in the Club for you to do security like that. Anyways hope the next event would be better.

* UFC 112: Invincible

/Abu Dhabi, UAE | April 10, 2010/

I was really excited for UFC 112 when I saw that Anderson Silva will be fighting Vitor Belfort, but Belfort got injured and was replaced by Demian Maia. I liekd this UFC event because Mark Munoz did win against Kendall Grove, it was also nice watching Matt Hughes and how he defeated Renzo Gracie. The BJ Penn and Frankie Edgar fight is also nice, now there is no licking of gloves for the Prodigy because he was defeated this time. The Silva and Maia fight was fun to watch for the first and second round and got kinda boring during the following rounds. Silva won by decision.

* My Photos at Rogue Magazine April 2010 Issue (The Wire Section)

Rogue April 2010 Issue featuring Bea Alonzo

Heart Evangelista

As with my previous blog last month, I mentioned that some of the photos I took for the event called Mode du Soleil Event which is an fashion and cocktail party featuring Anne Curtis, Heart Evangelista, Mika Lagdameo and more. I was excited with the April issue and hoping the photos that I took is already there, this morning my Rogue Magazine arrived and saw my photos and I can say I was so happy. The April issue with Bea Alonzo on the cover is really something new and very classy, like the photos of Bea Alonzo which is photographed by Mark Nicdao. Issue also features the candidates for Presidents for the incoming election. Hope you could grab a copy of it. :)
