Twenty Three 3.0

How awesome could a contemporary art complex get?

Dr. Joven Cuanang, neurologist and art patron, held nothing back when he converted his private villa into one of the most inspiring art galleries I’ve visited so far. It is known now as the Pinto Art Museum. It’s not only an art bank but also a showcase for modern Mediterranean Architecture and expansive and beautifully landscaped gardens. It became a haven for different sorts of artists and photographers. Not surprisingly, it is now a famous location to do photo shoots for weddings, birthdays and whatnot.

Summer of 2013, flower crowns were everywhere!

Twenty Third 1.0

One of the things I DON’T look forward to at the start of every year is my birthday. I don’t want to sound emo but now that I am in my early twenties, I want to be forever stuck in the moment – or for bit longer, at least. So many things to do so little time. I feel one of the few perfect times to start building a name for myself and doing the things that make me happy is today and today seems to be gone as quickly as I can get things done. BUT I know, I know – Live the moment. Life is not a race. I’ll get there when I get there. *Repeat to self.

Twenty Second 2.0: JAN 2013

This got to be my most favorite set of photos of all the sets I have done since I started my pseudo-modeling hobby. I have always wanted pictures against a setting sun. I don’t know, it has a beautiful effect on the hair that I love. Finally, Daryl was able to produce a few for me! Cheap thrill.

Twenty Second 1.0: JAN 2013

January was a great, great month! You could tell by my lack of social network participation the past 3 weeks. I was so loaded with work that I didn’t even have time to breathe.. and sleep! Hey, I’m not being sarcastic here. It was a great month, really. Who wouldn’t agree that work is a blessing? Repeat after me, WORK IS A BLESSING. Haha.

In between long overtime hours in the office, one on top of the other freelance works (which I will blog about soon) and more of those long overtime hours in the office, I’m so proud to say I was able to squeeze in a photo shoot for my twenty second birthday. Yes, I just got older last January 31 (remember the date!) and I couldn’t be happier with the turn of events… and outcome of the photos, if I may add.
