march on - tambokikoy's

talk about packing it in, the second week of march was hectic to say the least. glutton for punishment. fresh from a centerfold photoshoot over the weekend, monday, 09mar is yet another shoot.

tambokikoy's chicken and pork inasal around the mandaluyong-maysilo circle. owned by adrian and treena tecson, the trendy cul-de-sac offers whole chicken inasal, boasts of high-profile clientele (TVC producers and directors, cinematographers, photographers, make-up artist and an analyst with morgan chase), and diehard adobo magazine fans! teddy catuira, award-winning TV commercial director was the joint's first customer! try and beat that!

we could have produced a TVC that night, and marketed it, too!

fine IX - no. 3 ben sherman and the centerfold

three days of ocular on foot. a dozen sched changes. a week of fittings. and a rockin' red corner boxing day of a shoot! kristine reyes and company-ben sherman, stylist millet and lourd ramos, al de leon and tin-the makeup forum and photog-fantastic mark nicdao and the 11 individuals of this year's top agency and contenders.
merlee jayme was a knockout in red. bebot ngo's makeup TKO.
my idol from ASAP's 2007 conference, jimmy santiago wowed me with his ingenious presentation of jingle-production to a video-oriented audience. jimmy was a revelation: hip and dapper! way to go!!

fine IX - no. 4 what's ahead, eHeads?

yes, we all know the eraserheads reunion concert story. on again, off again. and yet again. with the brand's sponsorship a matter of massive controversy, philip morris never had it so good. department of health-DOH and its cohorts have presented the cigarette company the much-needed advertising it so wanted to prevent philip morris from using. tsk tsk tsk.
postscript: sans ads, the stage was all lights, band, music. simply a spectacle! thanks, DOH.
