Our Afternoon Delight

Posted on March 7th, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

It’s getting pretty hot here in Cebu and the rest of the Philippines. We are all experiencing a form of drought, commonly known as “El NiƱo”. Manila is facing the full front of the drought as water rationing is already taking place. Nonetheless, out with the negativity.

Twinkle and myself :love: tried out Carlo’s Batchoy, a restaurant, in BOULEVARD, Jones Avenue where they are famous for serving Batchoy and fried dishes. My girlfriend ordered their famous Batchoy while I went with the conventional fried pork chop. The Batchoy costs around P42 while the pork chop at P75 (that includes one cup of rice).

Batchoy is a noodle soup made with pork organs, crushed pork cracklings, shrimp, vegetables, chicken stock, chicken breast, beef loin and round noodles. – Wikipedia

Moreover, after our late lunch we headed to Mango Square Parking Lot. We actually planned on going to the parking lot a week or two as I mentioned it to Twinkle as an awesome shooting location (Thanks to Georgia Jauslin’s portfolio pictures).

It wasn’t the best time to shoot as it was in the middle afternoon, the light was strong and it was unbelievably hot. The Sun was scorching on us! However, this didn’t stop us from enjoying our time together snapping away with our cameras. We even had a few fans from St Theresa’s College who were waving from their auditorium.

Enjoy the pictures! :-D

Vroom Vroom at BMW Cebu

Posted on March 3rd, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

My fellow groupmates and myself headed to BMW Cebu, Nivel Hills, to interview them regarding their wholesaling aspect in relation to our ENTREP 35 subject – Retailing and Wholesaling in which we had to produce a report for the final requirement. Nonetheless, we had a blast at BMW since we were accommodated by the gentleman himself, Justin, one of the Vice-Presidents from ACC (Asian Carmaker Cooperation).

He was kind enough to show us around the showroom and the service area. Moreover, he gave us a spin in his unimaginable BMW convertible which is priced at roughly P4 Million. We cruised around Busay at 80km/hr and that’s going up hill! The true force and power of a BMW engine is out of this world!

My Valentine’s

Posted on February 22nd, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

It’s been more than a week now since Valentine’s and it’s only now that I am posting the pictures from the day. I spent most of the day with my girlfriend, Twinky :love: . We ate our lunch at Don Merto’s, the branch next to Sacred Heart Girls – Juana Osmena.

We both ordered their famous American Quarter Pound Bacon Cheese Burger with fries and coleslaw which costs only P145 each. A great deal indeed! :-) The burger was quite huge for the price yet it was immensely delicious. A BIG Thumbs up!

Man’s Best Friend

Posted on February 4th, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

Last week, Twinkle was invited to a photo shoot at her friend’s house, who also happens to be a neighbor and friend of mine too. I didn’t stay for the whole photo shoot as I had class that Friday afternoon – Law class. Nonetheless, I brought along my camera hoping to do some portrait photography of the two “models” (Andrea Martinez and Camille Veloso) instead I got a few shots of the countless dogs roaming around the house.

I used the 50mm 1.8 lens for these shots below:

The Swimming Pool

Posted on January 30th, 2010 by Jose Farrugia

Swimming is a relaxing yet rewarding activity in which one can burn several hundred calories just by swimming for half an hour. Prior to attending a debut the other Sunday I decided to bomb around and take pictures of the folks where I normally swim at. For those who are unaware, I swim at Sacred Heart Center.

Anyway, here are the series shots from my swimming pool escapade:
