LIFEDANCE 2012 at the Boardwalk, see you all there!

Chandelier at the VIP lounge...beautiful isn't it?

At last night's rehearsal I was too starstruck to whip out even my iPhone at least when Bjornberg walked in the venue.

See you all there! Evolution starts at 1.30pm. Party till the sun rises Philippines!!!

3 more days...

Are you READY?

LifeDance 2012 happens this Saturday everyone! Brace Cebu...brace. It will be EPIC!!!

Since I'm part of the roaster of the production photographers I had been staring and staring and staring at my gears and all the past week, making sure every single item on my checklist is accounted for. The biggest event to happen in Cebu! 

Just like any photography assignment I go beyond the preparations of my gears. I always want to be appropriately dressed for the occasion. And this one definitely calls for the urban chic! 

Trusty utility belt for photography with the lens caps and all will have to sit this one day out (the affair goes for 15 hours...). Out the closet comes my more casual Gucci belt bag. I like to go bag-free, therefore, worry-free. 

 (I use a belt bag when in concerts).

 Definitely it will have to be flats. Comfortable blingy shiny sparkly flat sandals (you know me...) to last me 20 hours. 

Since it's given that I shall be flaunting my black LifeDance shirt, ahihihihi...I went BLING shopping. 

I was thinking silver...All silver wares are from Forever21 (ehem, they were on sale). 

I've got to have a color. Bright one! It's hot pink for the night. I couldn't resist newly acquired teal beads and crystals so I'll throw it in too.

See you all on Saturday!

Gates open at 1pm at the Boardwalk.

Do check out their Facebook page here for more details.

It's more fun at LifeDance 2012 !!!

Remember I once said I have yet to post our very first visit to a resort this summer?

Here we go...

Bounded by contract, it would only be after the tv commercial is shown can we post any photo of the shoot During the first week of April, both my kids had some parts of the Virginia Hotdog tv commercial. The shoot was at Imperial Palace Resort in Mactan, Lapu Lapu City. This was actually the second day. (The first day would be another blog entry, hehehe...)

Early calltime and delicious breakfast...

My elder daughter with the directors and producer

This is my daughter's scene

This is what you will see in the tv commercial...

Thank you Virginia Hotdog!

Thank you to the production staff!

Thank You Boss!

Thank You for the opportunity!

Thank You for wonderful friends!

Yeah... coz when God closes the doors and windows, it only means you will have to brace yourself coz He will open the entire roof!!!

You must have heard about the scuffle in this side of country when Dmitri Vegas and Like Mike had to cancel their Asian tour due to illness. Sad news indeed. Our fave DJ under the weather. 

But hey hey hey... have you heard?

CHICANE will play at LifeDance 2012 Cebu!

But wait, there's more... can you say: BJORNBERG?

That's right people, it is gonna be EPIC!!!

Have you gotten your tickets yet? See you in 8 days everyone!!!

Allow me to tease you...

(My very first pair of Havaianas 6 years ago. The limited edition Brazil's fauna and flora)

So mommies... how was your weekend?

We got really really lazy at the Shang...

Yep, Shangri-la's Mactan Resorts and Spa. This year was extra special. My mother came along for chill out weekend. Great timing as it was Mother's Day last Sunday and what could be more special?

Mother's Day is always a big production in our household. The night before, the kids would be whispering excitedly about any secret plans they have been working on the past week. Every year they do that. And it is just great!

Our 3rd beach resort rendezvous for this summer**

We always go early morning. We may not be able to check into our rooms yet (check in time is after lunch in most hotels) but we leave our luggage with the concierge and frolic around the resort until they do call us for our room. 

The mandatory photo op by the lobby hahahaha. Even their staff are apparently trained how to take good angles for Facebook postings. hahaha... I don't kid. ahihihi

My mom, daughters, hubby and me.

They didn't know exactly where we were going. I really tried to pack secretly but somehow they spotted our big blue bag with the swimsuits and all summer stuff.

My, how the kids have grown. Comparing this photo with that one I took last year on the same exact spot makes my heart flutter with joy.

Golf is always a must. Just before swimming.

Dinner.

We only stayed overnight but for all of us it seemed like a year! hahaha... just so many things to do in the resort. So many things to see. Such gracious staffs. We actually didn't want to leave. Ahihi... thank you Shangrila for making our stay a great experience. Until next time!

(More photos and posts on my other blog.)

**if you read back on my posts for this summer's resort visits, you will find this one only the 2nd, not the 3rd as I have mentioned. This is the 3rd, the previous post is the 2nd. Much apologies as I cannot yet divulge or post the 1st which happened last month. Soon my dear friends. Watch out soon for a pleasant surprise...
