Basics
I love outdoor photos!
How can I not? I can sit on the grass and look anywhere but the camera and boom, great picture. Not because of my prowess in modeling, if I possess such a thing, but the credit mainly goes to the sun for illuminating my skin in all the right places and to the trees for swaying in the background with a grace that beats mine. Of course, the skills of the photographer is a given, also the amount of difference post processing can give. But you get me, don’t you?
BTS: First Studio Shoot
One model, two photographers, all first- timers in a studio shoot!
It was fun learning, I never thought lighting can be so complicated! I thought when you have a backdrop and different lights on stand, beautiful professional photos can magically appear in the cameras, but it was really more than that.
Bellini’s
Do you know Popoy and Basha? Then you must know the restaurant! You know, the restaurant where some of the best scenes in the movie happened. Haha. One More Chance fan much? Well, I must admit, I liked the movie. 🙂
Forgive me food enthusiasts out there, I know the restaurant can stand on its own without any reference to a local movie. It has been around since 1999 and it serves the best Italian food in the Metro, or at least one of the few restaurants which does. Coupled with great ambiance, it is a definite must-try! I’m happy we chose Bellini’s for our monthly dinner, which happened August 3, which is a bit too late for July, but whatever. 🙂

Surprisingly sweet wine, on the house 🙂
The exact table from the movie! Lucky the place was almost empty when we arrived. Then it got packed afterwards, but we were still the last group to leave. 
INSIDE INFO: The exact night and time we were there, Basha herself was in the restaurant as well! She was in one of the private rooms with her real-life boyfriend. Well, that adds to the experience. Haha!

P.S. I am excited for our August dinner. We have set the date and Jill, all the way from Taiwan, will be joining us this time! (And Kim must, too) Also, Hiyas ng Arki, I am so looking forward to you! 🙂
