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).

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

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:
