Discovered a new breakfast place in Bocaue. If you happen to be passing by the area or living nearby, you gotta visit the place.

We tried the pesto pasta and the english breakfast, and they are both superb. πŸ‘Œ

They also have a choice of Filipino and Korean dishes or better yet, click on the link above to visit their FB page for their offerings.

Here is the google map pin for the location

You can thank me later. πŸ˜‰

Got my coffee this afternoon from Hakki Specialty Coffee.

It may not look like much from the outside but it's totally different from the inside. You'd expect to see shops like this in posh neighborhoods or along tourist frequented routes and not in a laid-back place like ours.

A totally unexpected yet refreshing atmosphere. Plus the coffee's good! I got the iced Spanish latte.πŸ§‹πŸ”₯

I was supposed to do something else today but I ended "playing around" with my food.

Visit their shop if you're in the area of Southwoods or Pacita. They are located along Juan Luna Avenue in Chrysanthemum Village. You can also check out their FB page. Just click on the Hakki Specialty coffee link above πŸ‘†.

"Ask for help"

Not everyone started on the top. We all had to start somewhere and you should never be too proud to ask for help.

The worst thing that could happen to you is to be turned down or ignored, which is nothing new in life.

The best thing, however, is to be gifted with their invaluable knowledge and expertise to help you build your dream business.

Now, that's something that you wouldn't want to miss. :)

Here is a photo from a shoot for Zorn Palette.

"Reviews"

Have you ever felt "stuck" in your design and photography journey? Unsure if your are doing well or if your are producing good photos?

I do.. alot. Hahaha.. the photo above is an example.

One thing I'm trying to do to help me get through this is getting my work reviewed.

A very good part of the learning process is reaching out to selected people to review your work. 🧐

You need to be careful though not to be sucked into the social media void of pseudo-self validation by basing your work on the number of likes.

There are alot of good work out there that don't get the attention they deserve, but thats a topic for a different day.

I selected my "reviewers" based on these three simple questions.

πŸ‘‰ Who I think would give me an honest review?
πŸ‘‰ Who/what I want to be in the future?
πŸ‘‰ Which type of clients do I want to have?

It sucks to hear bad reviews but it helps alot in improving your work.

I guess that's what they call grit! πŸ˜‰πŸ’ͺ

Keep pushing!

"Nachos"

I got this DIY take-home nacho kit from Taza Maria. It was supposed to be dinner. πŸ˜…

For those who are grinding in their business, don't give up. You might not be where you want to be right now but you'll get there.

Surround yourself with people who inspire you and always put one foot ahead of the other. πŸ˜‰πŸ‘

Never stop learning.

I attended a workshop on product photography by sir Ricky Ladia over the weekend and came home with a bag load of great ideas and techniques for photoshoots.

Here are some of the photos I took during the workshop. Each one focused on a particular technique to help you focus on the subject and the brand you are snapping.

The wine bottle shot for instance was done using one softbox and illustration boards to control the light. It gave that rim light effect and highlighted the label perfectly.

The earring photo required me to learn about focus stacking and photo stacking in post-processing. One technique that I've been avoiding because I thought it was a pain in the ass to do but was easier than I thought, though it still requires a ton of patience.

Lastly, we got to play with water for the coke shot. We used an aquarium tank, one light on top for the can and another one for the background.

was our light source for the workshop and was gracious enough to lend cameras and lenses for the participants to use.

I use software in editing the photos.

Overall, it was a great experience.

Never stop learning.
