* Kiefer Ravena Charity Game for Sendong Victims

01.06.12 | FilOil Flying V Arena, San Juan

My first sports event for 2012 and it's a basketball game. My first time as well to take a basketball game so I was so excited about it. The game is organized by Ateneo's #15 Guard Kiefer Ravena which is a Charity Basketball game for Sendong Victims in Mindanao, the lineup is consisted with Celebrities and Musicians like Gerard Anderson, Rico Blanco, Luis Alandy, Jose, Tado, Jon Hall and more and Collegiate players from UAAP and NCAA like Baser Amer, Kevin Alas, Sam Marata, Joshua Webb, RR Garcia and more. PBA Legend Allan Caidic and PBA MVP James Yap also joined the 3 point shootout where the Triggerman won the contest. It was an entertaining and fun game and it was nice that an event like this happened at the same time funds will be donated for our fellow Filipino who needs help in Mindanao.

Even had my Jersey signed by Kiefer Raven *jersey from Jerseyhaven

* Solenn Heussaff Album Tour

I wasn't able to watch Actress/Model/Survior Solenn Heussaff's album tour at Festival Mall Alabang. Already met her before with the Rogue Magazine event but this time she is promoting her first album. Had an opportunity to have a photo with Solenn :)

* Burlesque: FHM Philippines 2011 100 Sexiest Party

My second tme to attend an FHM Philippines 100 Sexiest party and this time I can say the set up is better but getting a ticket is very very hard. Thanks Vince for giving me a ticket. I was able to get a good position to shoot this time using my 70-200mm f/2.8 Sigma lens.

Here are some of the photos I took during the event.

and of course FHM Philippines Sexiest Sam Pinto :)

* Meet and Greet with Playboy June 2011 Cover Girl Aubrey Miles

Because of the recent typhoon, the Meet and Greet of June cover girl Ms. Aubrey Miles was moved to June 30, 2011 at Odyssey Gateway Mall Cubao.

Playboy asked me to cover the said event. Playmate Sky (Playboy Playmate and 99.5 RT Jock) hosted the event. The event started around 5pm and the fan had their chance to have their Playboy June 2011 signed by cover girl Aubrey Miles and Playmate of the month Allysa Samonte. Other playmates was also present in the event like Plamate Billy, Jobie and Survivor Echo Caceres.

The event lasted for an hour and glad it was organized. Glad my copy was also signed. The photos that I took would show for the August 2011 issue.

* FHM January 2011 featuring Carla Humphries

It's my second time to meet this month's FHM cover girl Carla Humphries. It was a good start for FHM Philippines to have a new cover girl and the FHM issue itself is very nice and classy. I can say that FHM magazine has evolved and ay time passes by it improves and becomes better that's why FHM is still the number one Men's magazine here in the Philippines.

Anyways back to the cover girl, Carla Humphries is a commercial model and actress here in the Philippines. She apperared in different TV shows like Berks and more, She also appeared in movies like First Romance, First Day High and more. Carla was really nice and I'm glad that I had my FHM copy signed.

* Meeting Ellen Adarna again :)

After 2 years I was able to meet Ellen Adarna again, thanks to FHM. Ellen Adarna's meet and greet was held at Robinson's Place Galeria Movie World and it's been months or I can say years since I saw the line that long. Everyone wants to meet Ellen Adarna who was before an internet celebrity and now everyone has a chance to talk to her and have a photo with her.

Event should start by 6pm but it started around 6:40pm but it was ok and it's worth the wait, when Ellen came there are I think 6-8 guards and looks like in a police or marine uniform but the good thing is they are not strict this time.

Had my chance and had my latest FHM issue signed and showed Ellen our photo together way back 2008 at Ascend and she was surprised to see it. Thanks FHM and Ellen Adarna for ending my 2010 with a blast, more power and looking forward for your issues next year :)

* FHM December 2010 with Ellen Adarna

It was an early Christmas gift for FHM fans for their current issue. Ellen Adarna is the cover girl for FHM this month with Xander Angeles for the photos.

Almost everyone knows Ellen Adarna from being an online celebrity through her friendster then to fame, her photos are all over the net and mobile phones. Ellen Adarna is now in showbiz appearing in different shows in GMA 7 including Bubble Gang. I was lucky to met her 2008 at an event held at Ascend and she was really nice.

The Latest FHM issue is very classy and surprises it's readers (as always) with it's contents, for the current issue they featured the Premiere Vixen winners Karen Bordador, Christine Marquez and Paulene So, they also featured the Eye Candies led by Nestle Garcia. Former Mocha member Grace Oracion is also featured and more.

FHM is getting better and better and looking forward for the next issue and of course the event for this month's issue.

* Pool and Pole FHM Vixens Victory Party

Christine Marquez, Paulene So and Karen Bordador, the winner of the FHM Premiere Condoms search for the Ultimate Vixens throws a party at Liquid Pool and Party Lounge at Manila Ocean Park. The Eye Candies are also there to perform and to entertain the people who attended the event.

Vixens

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

* FHM November 2010 featuring Ehra and Michelle Madrigal

For the two months in a row now I skipped attending the monthly FHM Autograph Signing but good thing my magazines are still signed (Thanks to my friends). This month FHM featured the Madrigal sisters, Ehra and Michelle who is also one of the castaways in the on going show in GMA 7 Survivor Philippines Celebrity Edition.

The issue was very nice, it featured the 1971 Meralco Reddies which is considered the toughest basketball team assembled in the Philippines, RRJ girls, reviews and of course the nice and classy photos of the Madrigal Sisters by Doc Marlon.

* 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.

* Clavel Sneaker Magazine with Paloma at Urban Athletics Greenbelt 3

with Clavel Cover Girl Paloma

I missed the launching of the shirt and magazine held at The Attic and also the Autograph signing at Greenbelt so I told myself to attend the signing at Urban Athletics store at Greenbelt 3. They are also selling the Paloma Kikstyo shirt and Clavel Magazines and every purchase comes with a very nice poster. It was nice seeing Koreans having photos and having their magazine signed by Paloma.

* Clavel Sneaker Magazine with Paloma

This is my second Clavel Sneaker magazine the first one was with Jinri Yuriko Park on the cover and now a friend of mine Paloma. Saw the behind the scenes photos in Japan for this shoot. The shoot is for Kikstyo an international seller (also online) of shirts, caps, hoodies and more. I checked the website www.kikstyo.com and saw their items and it's very nice.

Clavel Magazine is mostly about shoes, reviews, news and the latest about the sneakers world. The issue was very nice and sexy. The photos are really nice and classy. The launching was held last September 18 at Attica in A.Venue and too bad I have work and I wasn't able to attend.

Anyways Autograph Signing will be held in the following venue

September 25, 2010 Saturday, 4PM
BUNKER, Ronac Art Center, Ortigas Avenue, Greenhills, San Juan City
Beats by DJ ARYAN and Special Guest DJs!
Booze available too!

September 26, 2010 Sunday, 3PM
URBAN ATHLETICS, 2nd Floor, Greenbelt 3, Makati City

* FHM September 2010 Issue with Bianca Manalo

Bianca Manalo

It's the "BER" month and FHM has a new cover girl beauty queen (2009 Bb. Pilipinas - Miss Universe) and actress Bianca Manalo. The September issue is a dual cover where Bianca is on the other side while Cesar Montano is on the other side. There's a lot of good interviews like the one with Senator Cheese Escudero.

The issue cost 150 pesos and it's all worth it, I like the photos of Bianca Manalo, the reviews and the other content of the issue.

The Autograph Signing for Bianca Manalo was held September 4, 2010 at Robinson's Movie World (6pm - 8pm). The line is not that long and I can say that the signing kinda sucks, until now I can't figure out not only me but other FHM supporters/fans why there is a need for bouncers (not one but two) in the event. They are so strict it's like we are at the high-end bar. To FHM staff if your reading this I hope you could make improvements with your autograph signing because those bouncers really doesn't belong there. There's a lot of signing that happened without any bouncers involve and it was fun and successful. They only allowed one signature at the cover of the issue which is fine for me. Hoping for more improvements and looking forward for the next issue.

* FHM August 2010 Issue with Priscilla Meirelles

This would be the first time that Priscilla Meirelles would cover for FHM Philippines. She already covered for other Men's magazine and finally FHM. Priscilla was born September 5, 1983 from Brazil and won the 2004 Miss Earth pageant held in the country.

The August issue is different from the previous FHM issues because of the 3D pages of the magazine. Photos of FHM babes like Angel Locsin, Cristine Reyes, Katrina Halili, Iwa Moto and more from previous issues were featured in the August issue in 3D and the issue comes with the glasses to enjoy and see the 3D effect in the magazine. The issue also featured the Premiere Vixens. The issue also has a gimik guide where the coolest place in the metro is located.

It's my 3rd time meeting Priscilla and I can say she's tall and she's really really nice as always.

* FHM 100 Sexiest Party 2010

It's my first time to attend a 100 sexiest FHM party and a good friend Vince gaved me a ticket for the event. As expected there's a lot of people mostly guys are falling in line outside World Trade Center. We are able to get inside around 8:30pm. There's alot of booths inside for GBX, Premiere Condom, Citizen Watch and RRJ. Beers are also being sold inside 50 bucks per can. The set up of the stage is for me not that good because for us Non-VIP ticket holders we can only see part of the stage because photographers are in front of the stage taking photos. So what we could only do is just watch in the big screen, I didn't put an effort to take photos in front because it's kinda hot in the venue because there's a lot of people. Bad thing as well is two of my friends and I've heard other people including models had their fones stolen in the said event.

The show was fine and the ladies, models and celebrities walk and ramp in the stage. There is a magic trick performance which is also part of the show. Iwa Motto, Sam Pinto, Saicy Aguila, Premiere Vixens and more ramp in the stage and lastly FHM's 2010 #1 in the 100 sexiest women in the Philippines came from above the stage in angel wings non other than Angel Locsin.

Too bad I wasn't able to take photos during the fashion show but I was happy to see my friends in the said event, wasn't able to attend the after party at LAX because I'm also not feeling well. Hopefully a better stage set up next year. Congrats FHM :)

* FHM July 2010 Issue with Sam Pinto

Sam Pinto (Samuelle Lynne Acosta Pinto) born December 11, 1989 is a fashion design student, commercial model and also from the reality show Pinoy Big Brother: Double Up is July 2010's FHM cover girl and photos by Xander Angeles. Together with the the July issue is the 100 sexiest list where Angel Locsin is back on top at number 1.

Sam Pinto

The autograph signing event of Sam Pinto is different this time compare to the previous ones, there's alot of fans who fall in line to meet her personally. With the management of FHM they only allowed a sign at the cover of the magazine.

follow her at twitter: http://twitter.com/pintosamuelle

* FHM June 2010 Issue with Max Eigenmann

Max Eigenmann

After missing two FHM event finally I was able to attend again this month's FHM Autograph signing, I can say I got excited because the cover girl is new and to be honest I haven't seen her in the tube (because I don't watch the tv too much). The event was held at the Robinson's Galeria Supermarket area and I thought I will never make it because of the traffic and good thing I was able to make it by around 6:30pm. The security this time is not that strict compare to the previous signing where there are bouncers and at the same time the line is not that long.

I can say Max Eigenmann is pretty and she smiles to the person who would ask for her autograph although she's doesn't talk and like everyone says it's like she's not in the mood in signing the magazine but anyways possible she's tired from a taping or whatever and for me I am glad I had my copy sign. Keep on voting for the 100 sexiest woman at http://www.fhm.com.ph

* Photshoot with Jennifer Lee

I was invited by a friend who works in a studio named MyStudio in Metrowalk Pasig to join a photoshoot with Viva Hot Babes cutie Jennifer Lee. I can say I am a big fan of Jennifer Lee and it was really a great opportunity to take photos of her. Me and friend Alex arrived in the studio around 4pm and the shoot ended around 8pm. The concept was headshots and the fallen angel theme. Really enjoyed this photoshoot, because the studio is very nice plus our model Jennifer Lee.
Here are some of the photos yesterday :)

more photos just check my multiply

* Rogue Magazine's "It's all about the Women" Party

My second Rogue Party for this year and also my first time at NUVO in Greenbelt 2. Event is called "It's all bout the women" with the beautiful ladies, open bar (Skyy Vodka and Jose Cuervo Tequilla) and great music. Party started around 9pm and ended 3am. Meet my friends at the event and saw familiar faces. Rogue Cover girls Alexandra Rocha and Cristina Garcia are also in the event.

* 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.
