Finishing blog the following week recapping. Well, it is now Monday again and I have to really take the time to remember everything I did within the last few days. Time flies faster the speed of light once you cross a certain time in your life you know the quarter century old mark? Yes that’s where it suddenly goes 0-950 mph in .5 seconds and then you stop to reflect after the fact that it’s too late. That is why I definitely take each day more seriously conjoined with not taking myself too seriously. Who should take themselves too seriously? Just [View Full Entry]

Saturday afternoon we went and shot at a place called Mactan Oasis approximately ten minutes from Bigfoot for a couple more scenes. Kiss came and met up with us as well since she was my ‘supporting actress’ in this scene. We shot at this abandon building that I couldn’t quite figure out if it was still under construction, being reconstructed or taken down. It had this distinct feeling to it since it was so industrial yet sits along side a main road in this gated apartment complex. It’s a fabulous place to shoot for something raw and edgy. I started [View Full Entry]

It’s more then half way through my internship here at Bigfoot and things seem to be slowly getting underway. Well, I have to admit as of this point into this week; I can’t really recall much of last week in chronological order as my previous blog. So as I write my story which seems to be an endless supply of impulsive and random moments that have accumulated over the years, I continue to document them all and laugh about it along the way. So to start off from my music video shoot dating back nearly two weeks ago already, I [View Full Entry]

It’s been a week already since I was on Mindanao and already going into my fifth week here in Cebu for my internship. This past week was pretty relaxed to start off with, had a couple meetings with the Fashion TV department regarding shooting and also with concepts. We finally had a shoot last Thursday inside sound stage one with one of the fashion interns from India, and I also did a few scenes for a student here working on his director debut music video. So I guess I shall start back from Monday leading up to today which is [View Full Entry]

Last Friday night after work, I took off on a weekend getaway trip to another regional island south of Cebu called Mindanao. I packed my backpack for the weekend to see one of my best friends for roughly 36 hours of non-stop fun. My friend Mike, who used to live in Los Angeles last year, moved back here to the Philippines for his corn milling business in an area called Initao Beach. I haven’t seen Mike since last year prior to him leaving nor have I had the opportunity to take time to go visit him since I’ve been here. [View Full Entry]

Today is Thursday nearly three weeks into my internship here in Cebu, This week has been relatively quiet as we’re still coming up with concepts and ideas to produce with the inter photographers to capture with the limited budget we are given. On Monday we did the usual, so it’s wasn’t too productive, however on Tuesday we got together with the producers of Fashion TV Asia and brain stormed some concepts we can potentially achieve whilst here. Once we were finished with that meeting, Ken Ken who is our diving instructor took us to the beach for a quick moment [View Full Entry]

Philippine Adventure # 2 The temperature in my room is humid, strictly humid with the just the fan on, if I were to put on the air conditioner, it gets too cold. There is no particular number the Celsius or degrees needs to be when you feel sticky regardless. I’m starring at my computer writing my fifth installment of being here on Mactan in the ‘PI’ as it’s known. It’s half past 5 pm on a Sunday afternoon, it’s turning into night with the wind dancing around the island and the trees parading [View Full Entry]

Olango Island Sunday morning I met up with a few people to take a boat trip over to an island not too far from Mactan by the named Olango. One of the students here had invited me to join his group for the day and since it was my first weekend here, I wanted to make the most of it in every which way possible without completely exhausting myself. The previous night I didn’t do anything because I was so exhausted from the exploration around Cebu Island, so I managed to be prepared for the trip to Ola [View Full Entry]

Motorcycle Diary It all began Saturday morning, our quest to conquer Cebu Island on a hired 125 motorbike nicknamed ‘The Hog’. I met up with John, grabbed a shot of an espresso at the Fashion Café and we headed out. The mission started on Mactan Island where we are located, we rode passed the small towns, Cebu airport, crossing the bridge over to Cebu city. I was being the typical tourist in a new country taking loads of photos to capture the scenery and everyday lifestyle for the Filipinos or also known as ‘Cebuyans.’ Cebu/Mactan is centered in the middle of [View Full Entry]
