He is my HERO

it was a tiring day, to just walk and walk and walk.. 
spent hours just staying in Malls,parks and arcades. 
I was supposed to be going home,
its just too long to wait for 7:00pm to go to 
SM Lanang and cover 
a Futsal game, but then everytime I feel like giving up, 
I tend to stop, and just
pray for 10 seconds. 

remember when I was talking to my previous 
post about me not having the equipment that I needed, 
and just be like gladiators,
shoot events in a hard core mode coz ive
 got nothing at all.

with those lil pauses and pray a little, ride a jeepney, 
get bored and stucked in
a traffick,pause and pray a little, 
this is where Gods hand does what he 
promises. I almost burst into tears today, 
waiting for the guy im meeting
with and I just waited long hours to just meet him, I mean, 
it could have been easier
for me to meet up with people if I have a cellphone, 
but then no, I need to walk, 
look for public internet cafe, log in to facebook and 
check my inbox just to
communicate to people.

with the Lord's grace, I am able to meet them up in 
person successfully.
more than that, Gods hands is just so amazing how he arrange 
all these,today he meets what I need to make films. 
which is a Go Pro
camera. The Lord is so gracious to the faithful 
servants He has, and 
once He wants you to do something, He provides. 

all of these are His blessings in disguise
I cant wait to see more of the action that he will
carve into this journey together with you. 
I am being blessed, and I pray God will also meet what you
desire in life. 

continue to be obedient and have a good heart!

Glory to God.

Summerfrolic After Party



we all came to different stages and highlights of our lives 
where we discover and re-discover ourselves 
with the different people we met along our journey, 
we may not realize it but this exists 
and what I see about my passion in Film and DJying is that we 
all have the opportunities waiting ahead of us, its all there,
not until you move a step forward in pursuing it you'll end up 
either be stranded in a dead end corner, or get closer to what 
you love to do and start seeing it even more sharper and clearer. 

one of the person I admire as a leader once said, a sword gets
 hammered a thousand times,gets dipped into the water,
get hammered again until it became a sword ready for battle.

that's why my Summerfrolic experience was awesome, 
experienced a lot of provisions which I can really say that its 
from the Lord who made my way to get great shots and footages. 
I acknowledge Him for his amazing ways of connecting people/positioning 
people in order to provide for you wether its food, 
accommodation, fuel for cooking, VIP backstage passses, 
strength to last a day of hardwork, transportation going
 back to Davao City and also opportunities. 

without his hand, my footages would be so dumb and lame.

Learning is everywhere

Learning never stops, it doesn't even choose an age bracket, 
what ever you do, put your heart into it,
what I call about what I do, its passion. Its basically not sleeping, 
not being discouraged with the "Nothings", focusing on something I have, 
not in something I don't have,connecting to the right people
 to work with,working over and over and over 
again and loving what I do.

I've never been so in love with documenting and event coverage. 
behind all the footage is not an easy life, its very ghetto which you don't see, 
shooting under the rain, going home late in the morning,sometimes 
stucked in a place where there is no transportation and
 there's only one choice, "to walk", 
make use of the resources around me, 
like in the event Liberalia 2014, I was the only one who is 
shooting the event using a digital camera, 
without mono pod,so I need to make some alternate solution, 
and using a normal tree branch as my mono pod,
 the rain was hard,and so I used a fiber glassware to cover
 the camera,me all soaked wet, no accommodation for I 
wasn't in the VIP list, so I just lied down in the ground and rested,really
 hungry for I've got no money to buy a dinner.so,to combine 
all the experience, I should be having all the reason to just be 
lazy and forget whats ahead, but since I love
 what I do, I'm fighting for it.

 I love the feeling that I know I'm making people happy with 
what I shoot and I know I'm stepping  forward with every film I upload. 

"If passion drives you, let reasons hold the rein"

Free workshops are always there, you just need to have 
a lil research online for the coming events and their venues. 
don't get discouraged with what you love to do, 
If you find it, go grab your dreams!

Magic Carpet ride of my life





Recently been having good laughters with random people, and it made me
realize that life isnt about the things,or the past happenings but its about
relationships. how you cherish and give value to the people that surrounds you.


I also love the way Im growing in my leadership, my creativity,being idealistic,

organizing events, to connect all these skills and be fruitful. I am surprised how
things fall into places which I never thought this day would come. I have no
background in Advertising/marketing and Public Relations but my Heavenly father
gave me such skill. It is new actually to see this concept on my hand and theres 
nothing I would do, but to give and share, reminded me about this qoute:


"We make a living by what we get, but we make a life by what we give"



There are only two tragedies in life: one is not getting what one wants, and the other 

is getting it. and I could say that ive been to the first phase,and im on my way pursueing 
life at its best. I love the places ive traveled,I love the people I met,my experiences
and I've learned to love myself and it is the beginning of a lifelong romance.


so,In three words I can sum up everything I've learned about life: "it goes on"

so I encourage whoever reads this article, to push through your passion,
push through your desires in life. you'll be surprised the things you desired,is
now in your hands.


Luke 6:10

“If you are faithful in little things, you will be faithful in large ones"

i'll see you next time in my next destination!

Davao City,Philippines 100% smoke free




Davao City has been named the first 100% smoke free City in Southeast Asia, 
when I read the news about this,it made me feel proud of where I am living, 
of course who else doesn't want to be recognized as a city whose known to 
be a "role model" against smoking.

in addition to that two months ago,May 2013 Davao City tightened its anti 
smoking Ordinance. I'm not a smoker so I'm pro to its new policy which now 
covers the use of all tobacco products, and that includes 
the use of E-cigars and Shishas.

surely it will be a fuss to smokers to adjust to the new ordinance that prohibits 
them to smoke in all public places,buildings,outdoor spaces, public,private 
and government-owned vehicles. many would be against this new policy,and 
many would be glad to support Mayor Rodrigo Duterte. Locals say this 
city is getting boring, No Fire works during Christmas break,
No Liquors, No loud Audios, No noisy motorcycles, less crime rate,
and now No smoking in public places.

wouldn't you like to have a vacation in this kind of City? its for you to experience
 the Scenery where I lived in, Davao City,Philippines

Underwater Fun

Now, I've feel blessed to meet people around the globe and get to have fun time with them. as you see when I was a kid I love to play around with my mom's camera, and able to make fun videos of myself but unluckily  way back 10 years ago the technology isnt that fast as today and so every time I get to have the chance to hold a good HD camera that isn't mine, I always thank the Lord for the opportunity that he has given to me. I am happy that I was able to shoot good underwater footage, explore the nature, capture moments and just be creative with the camera. it is a privileged to work in an organization "Global Impact" which I really grew a lot, God has provided these people around me for a purpose. you may think that I came from a rich family but no, my life is simple just like yours. so I encourage you to make something good with your resources to bless people, and if you have similar stories and interests like mine, I wanna hear them. ayt?
