It was a night that everyone enjoyed, the pool, the food, the drinks and of course the event itself.

* Haunting Pleasures: FHM Premiere Vixens Victory Party

Finally it's time to choose who will be the Ultimate Premiere Condoms Vixen. Event was held at LAX near SM Mall of Asia. It was down to 6 Finalist Paulene So, Sofie Garucho, Christine Marquez, Karen Bordador, Jahziel Manabat and Abby Poblador. It was my first time at LAX and I can say they are kinda strict with everything, they won't allow you to enter if you don't have an ID, DSLR's are not allowed and more. Place is kinda small for an event but for just a regular night out or party I can say it's fine. Event started a bit late and they had some games where a sexy dance contest for guys with two girls dancing with them, our friend Vince was really unlucky we all pointed at him and he was invited to join. Lucky he won because we are screaming "Take it Off" and the girls removed her shirt, unbuttoned his jeans and lowered it down and damn we are laughing and screaming out loud and of course he won.

Then finally the moment everyone is waiting for is the fashion show, all contestants who joined the search for the Ultimate Vixen was there except for Jem Milton. Kitty Girls performed and after that the finalist had a short sexy fashion show in their lingerie. The announcement of awards came and Sofie won as the most daring Vixen, and Jahziel and Abby won the sexiest curves. Now everyone is holding their breathe and waiting for the announcement of the winner, everyone was in shock when they announced that it was 3 way tie, everyone was like "What?" but anyways congratulations to the winners Christine, Karen and Paulene. Afterwards we went out and just hang out and grabbed some food at Shakey's Makati Ave. It was a nice and funny night and everyone went home laughing because of Vince.

* Run Rides Rave

Run Rides Rave is a whole day event that started with a fun run followed by a car show then bikini fashion show, a concert and a pool party held at Manila Ocean Park. Sponsored by the Philippines Number one Men's Magazine FHM this event was really successful despited of the bad weather. Ticket cost 400 bucks but the Fun Run and Car show part is free. Ticket entitles everyone to watch the show at Aquatica, two cocktail drinks, to watch the FHM bikini and fashion show and a live performance of Tanya Markova, EB babes, October 2010 Cover Girl and PBB Housemate Wendy Valdez and Letter Day Story.

It was like a soft opening of the Liquid Bar at Ocean Park, where people can drink, enjoy and get wet with the indoor pools. It was nice attending the event and meeting and seeing my friends enjoy the party.

* Playboy Academy Philippines 2010

This event was mentioned to me before by Playmate Sky during the Playboy Press-con last June. The event was called Playboy Academy, a fashion show event where the models would wear the Playboy apparels that would soon be sold in the Playboy store at Trinoma that would open soon and also the event is an inter-collegiate dance competion. Ticket is 500 bucks with free cocktail drink and a cool Playboy shirt (available in Green or Black). The event was held at Guilly's Tomas Morato and it was my first time at Guilly's, a lot of friends of mine are asking me to chill and hang out there. The event started around 9:30pm and the host of the event is Playmate Sky. There was a lot of freebies like Playboy dog tags, the paper weight glass with a Playboy logo (I got one) and magazines.

The fashion show was the first part of the event where me and my friends were able to take photos. After the fashion show is the dance competition with Celebrity judges and Playmate Echo Caceres and Dino Imperial, after a several performance the Playmate Sky introduced and promoted the latest issue together with Playmate Nhadz who is the current Playmate. Part two of the Fashion and then the continuation of the dance competition. The group from PLM (Pamantasan ng Lungsod ng Maynila) won the dance competition taking home 20 thousand pesos and a chance to perform in the next Playboy event this September called Rock the Rabbit Year III. It was a nice event and we enjoyed it even though the rain was really hard outside the venue. Till next Playboy event :)

* Unleashed: Digital Photographer Philippines 4th Year Anniversary

It's my first time to attend a DPP or a photography event, I joined the forum a year ago to get tips and ideas with photography and I can say I did learned a lot. Some of my friend are coming to the said event and I saw the program/seminars and the line up was really nice and take note it's free, all you have to do is to get the latest issue of DPP to get a pass.

my DPP ID

long line outside 8am

I have work the previous night so I slept for two hours and went to Fully Booked BHS, I arrived around 9am and the line was already long, I got my stub and my number is 242. Too bad some of the class that I wanted to attend was full but I was able to attend the other class as well (standing).

The registration started around 10am and when I got in they asked me to select which classes I wanted to join I selected Jo Avila's Light Painting, Raymond Isaac's The Real Approach to Fashion Photography in the Digital Age and LIVE shoot with Pilar Tuason. It was really happy I was able to have my lens and camera cleaned as well for free.

Lighting Painting is the first class I've attended and the class is about taking photos using flashlight as your brush or external flash, I've learned a lot with this class and planning to try it soon with my toys and action figures.

After the Jo Avila class we had lunch at Market Market then went back to attend other classes for Portraits by Pilar Tuason, Fashion by Raymond Isaac, Live shoot and the class with Xander Angeles. It was a fun and learning experience and at the same time seeing my other friends in the said event who are also into photography.

When: February 10, 2010 (Wednesday)

My first party for the year. I am glad that I was invited again for the Playboy Magazine's issue launching held at Lounge Tomas Morato. Since it was my off I decided to attend the event and take photos, saw some friends there who are also fellow bloggers. I missed the presscon because I arrived around 9pm and presscon started 7pm. I was given a free copy of the latest issue and it was a great issue I can say. Features are great mostly about Philippine Movies (history, etc) and it featured famous Directors. Playmates from previous Playboy issues are also featured inside and it was really really nice. Director Peque Gallaga is in the cover with Bridget Suarez for the January-February 2010 issue. Playmate Amber Dy's photos are sexy and very classy specially those black and white photos.

* 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.

* 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.

* Kate Torralba's Fashion Event at Rockwell Tent

/11.11.09/

Kate Torralba

It was my off and I was looking for a place or an event to attend, since I can't find any I checked out for my favorite band's gig (Up Dharma Down) and I saw that they will be playing at Kate Torralba's Fashion Event at Rockwell Tent, I was able to asked bassist Paul Yap if the event is open or by invitation and they don't know if it is. My friend who has a friend who works at Rockwell confirmed that it's by invitation only and I also sent Kate Torralba a message at Twitter and Facebook to ask and she confirmed that it's only by invitation.

Up Dharma Down (Paul Yap no in the photo)

Eventhough I am not sure if I could go inside the event I still went to Rockwell and saw a friend their and I was able to go inside. Good thing I was in a semi formal attire because most of the people who attended that event are in formal attire. Most are models and celebrities (Tim Yap, Tessa Prieto, Joey Mead, Up Dharma Down, Veronica of Kitty Girls, The Magalona Family and more) It's a fashion show where the models walked with the designs of Kate Torralba. Absolut Vodka and Wine are flowing and also the food is great. I was able to take a few photos of the event and meet Kate Torralba herself who also performed later that night.

* UNO Party at Aquaknox 10.22.09

I swapped my Tuesday off for a Thursday off for this event, The UNO Party for Facebook Fans at Aquaknox Restaurant in Makati. It's been a while since I attended an UNO event. The event was sponsored by Neo Laptop, San Mig Light, The Bar, Basketball TV and more. The party is different compare to previous UNO Parties where the cover girl will be introduced but this time it's just a party for UNO supporters. I am with my friends Robin, Vince and Carlo in the said event, it's open bar so San Mig Light is free from 9pm - 11pm. Internet connection is also free and the everyone ca surf the net through the strong WiFi connection in Aquaknox. Editor In Chief RJ Ledesma is there and said thank you to all who came, the event has games like beer drinking contest and raffles.

Saw some friend in the event and some personalities like Congressman Dan Fernandez and BTV's Lia Cruz. Got some UNO back issues (Cindy Kurleto and Celine Lopez). Took a few photos and the party ended around 12:30am. Went to Shakey's near A.Venue to eat afterwards.

* UNO Calendar Party "Eargasm"

It's been a while since UNO Magazine had an event nor a party and finally with a new editor in chief RJ Ledesma and with Dylan as the latest UNO cover girl, now I can say there is a reason to celebrate and party. Party was called Eargasm because 3 bands played during the party that includes Duster.

Party was held at Capones Makati, good thing I was able to find a swap (schedule) and I don't have work on this day. Party was sponsored by Ginebra and it's open bar. A lot of celebrities are present Geneva Cruz, Kitty girls, Dylan, Bea So....to many too mention just check my multiply site (http://reachard.multiply.com/photos/album/188/_UNO_Calendar_Party_presents_EARGASM?replies_read=38)

* Apl de Ap of Black Eyed Peas invades Club Ascend

It was 2009 now and I'm browsing facebook and saw that I was invited to attend the Apl de Ap event at Ascend. So I asked my friends if they want to go out but the thing is they have some things to do and work. So I asked my gf if she can come with me at Ascend and she said yes. It was a Saturday and I do have work at 10pm, I don't want to miss the event so I said I would just go on half day. A friend Andrew texted me that he would also be at Ascend so we meet him at Starbucks Bonifacio High, finally my stickers are complete :D anyways moving forward, We went to Ascend around 10:30pm because guest list is only valid till 11pm.

Ascend is not yet crowded and before 12am the crowd starts to arrive. Saw some friends and familiar faces in the party. Event started around 12:30am and I was able to take photos of DJ Mia Guzman and Apl De Ap. Crowd is going crazy and the music is great. Too bad I wasn't able to finish the event because I have work at 3am. But in a way I can say I enjoyed it and my 1st event for the year.

* Maxim 2009 Calendar Party

It's been a while since we heard something from Maxim, last event that I attended is I gues the party for Roxanne Guinoo at White Ave Bar in Timog. Suddenly I was shocked that they would have this party and yeah the good move for them to end the year with a blast.


Invites is needed to attend this party and good thing I got three, I gaved it to my friends Alex and Mark. It was really a good thing cause I'm on leave during the week and I went to ABS CBN to get my tickets and meet my friends in Glorietta. Arrived around 9pm and party has started already, wasn't able to get in because of the jam packed crowed in Warehouse 135 in Yakal St. Makati


So after several minutes we got in and damn it was jam packed. Mocha is already performing and there's alot of peeps and photographers. The event was hosted by Malaya and Phoem Baranda. Cover Girl for December Cristine "Eva Fonda" Reyes was there for a meet and greet, the Pinoy Fear Factor Girls and the Ran Online Calendar Girls.


Music is also great and alot of personalities. Left around 1am and grab a bite at KFC then went home. Happy to have my December issue signed by Cristine and by the Pinoy Fear Factor Girls.

* Black and Bling | GE X-Mas Party

It's my 1st X-Mas party for my current company which is GE Money Servicing (Alabang). It was held in a Sunday which I have work at 10pm. I'm excited at the same time not because of the annual fashion catwalk for the party which I myself is one of the participants. I did not volunteer to join but my team picked me during my off to represent our team wah. There are two in each team, one girl and guy. Anyways they made and designed the outfit for me and my partner. To be honest I don't have any modeling experience and this is my 1st time and it was really really scary. Yes I do attend modeling events but I don't have any idea on how to do the walk and pose. Sunday came and I went to the office to ride the shuttle from our office to Hillsborough (location of the party) The party's theme is Black and Bling so I wear blackk on that day. Bought Toki (my cam) and took photos of my teamates and my friends. Food is ok but I wasn't able to eat alot because Model (as they call) must be in the backstage on a given time and must prepare. Wasn't able to drink beer as well because of that. Battle of the bands first before the catwalk. Our account's band played a song by Mr. Big where my Supervisor is the bassist. After the battle of the bands, the moment came and we must now walk in front of the people. Damn I was so shy but just look straight and did not ignore the people screaming, taking photos and more. Unfortunately I didn't win as expected by my partner won *Yey

After tha catwalk I went straight to the office and logged in. I was 35 mins late haha thank God they did not gave me warning for that.

* Covering he Avi Siwa Event and Hollyweird Party at Ascend

After the Krispy Kreme event me and my friend Alex walk around Bonifacio High Street..Lucky we are we saw Miss Jen Rosendahl and had a picture taken with her ^_^

It is still early for the party at Ascend and we are starving already so we grab a quick bite at KFC in Market Market then our friend arrived (Robin) and we hanged out first at Starbucks to kill time while waiting for the event.

Around 11pm we decided to go to Ascend and good thing we are in the guestlist. We went to the VIP room and met Avi Siwa. We asked permission if we can take photos of the event and she said "why not?" so lucky we are (Me and Alex) we became the official photographer for the event.









We took pictures of Avi and her guest and also people in their halloween costumes. Saw The Flash, Katwoman, Queen Amidala and more. Too bad me and my friends are not in costume (next year probably XD).









We enjoyed unlimited beer and the VIP area of Ascend. Took photos of the people who party that night, saw some familiar face like the people from Tony and Jackey (Korean Hair Salon) where I am a customer *wink and also met new friends in the event. It was my first time to attend a halloween party *to be honest because usually whenever halloween comes I am just stucked at home or at the cemetery with my family but this year was different =)

Before the party ended we managed to have our FHM Magazine signed by Ms. Avi Siwa. Party end around 3:00am and we decided to eat first because we are really starving and then went home and rest.
