This July, as Living It Up celebrates it's 1st anniversary, all yuppies are invited to join Living It Up’s Headshot Clinic. Raymond, Tim, Issa, Sam and Greggy know that having a fabulous head shot to post on your social networking sites is the way to live it up online.

On July 28, come in your hottest outfit, glam it up, join Living It Up’s Headshot Clinic “Go Glam” and have your portrait taken by ace photographer Niccolo Cosme and his team.

Project Headshot Clinic (HSC) is a brand new concept that merges Profile photos online and Advertising as we see campaigns, advertisements, and advocacies may easily be conveyed through our unique digitized headshots, online profile photos can be potential online billboards. Its major components are: registration, mass shooting, and mass uploading on social network web sites (as profile photo), which make HSC an effective and creative marketing tool. HSC creates curiosity and impact to those who are not yet aware or part of it.

Each portrait will be processed and sealed with Living It Up’s stamp of approval, and after a month participants will gather once more to party and receive their head shots. And the grand unveiling – 400 photos will be uploaded in online communities.

il host day one and hopefully il see everyone there! i miss the smell of chlorine in the morning, I just miss the entire "swimming competition" atmosphere and Im really excited to host this. Hosting a swimming event is so much different than other hosting gigs, for a minimum of 8 hours you have the mic and everyone will hear your voice at least every minute.

I was a swimmer for 13 years (more than half my life) and hosting a swim competition is my gift to the entire swimming community and the valiant sports itself. With more than 500 swimmers plus the parents, guest, etc, all eyes (and ears) are definitely on the host - there is no margin and there is no space for error. Other than the wild ruckus, the only thing i hate is the sun! hopefully it will be a cloudy day... oh well... nothing to lose... here it goes...^_^

It was such a thrill to watch the special advance screening of “The Dark Knight” last night in Rockwell Powerplant Mall.  Aside from its free (I won the tickets, thanks studio23); it was "cool" to be one of the few people in the world to watch it before it officially hits the theatres this week.

Ever since I was a child, I have always been a Batman fan. I could still remember the 1960’s TV show Adam West’s Batman and the “holy cow” lines of Robin. Fighting crime since 1939, DC’s Batman has no super powers, no radioactive bites or exposure, not an alien – He is just like you and I – a normal human being, well except for having the fighting skills, high-tech gadgets, and the extra billions, he would be close to “normal.”

Starting from being a comic book character, the cultural and media icon has appeared in 7 feature films: Batman: The Movie (1966 – Adam West), Batman (1989 -Michael Keaton), Batman Returns (1992 – Michael Keaton), Batman Forever (1995 - Val Kilmer), Batman and Robin (1997 – George Clooney)... 8 years later... Batman Begins (2005 – Christian Bale), and The Dark Knight (2008 – Christian Bale). What do you think is the best so far?

If you have seen most of the superhero flicks this year, then this is definitely a must see movie! It’s a film with interesting and consistent plot and twist that a Batman fan would love; it’s a film where you sit for hours hypnotized by the crafty lines and batman gadgets. It was even funny to see cameos of big celebrities doing some minor roles in the movie. Don’t worry, no spoilers here. For the entire "long" duration of the movie, I could not take my eyes off the performance of Heath Ledger - Amazing really! A standing ovation and iconic performance better that Jack Nicholson! 

The Joker, one of the greatest villains of all time, is a master criminal whose characterization has varied from a violent sociopath that murders people and commits crimes for his own amusement. Mr. Ledger described the Joker as a "psychopathic, mass murdering, schizophrenic clown with zero empathy” in which I thought he effectively portrayed.

Of all the mind boggling lines thrown in the movie my favourite would be "Why so serious?" - A line that would I believe be a classic movie quote. It made me think of things in life that we take abundantly serious...

How many times have we have fun per week? How many minutes do we enjoy our day? How many times do we laugh per hour? In this worldly frenzy, we have become mindless robotic race that have become "so serious" with life. It wouldn’t hurt to unwind, wouldn’t it? Most have forgotten to relax and breathe the fresh air; ironically, Mr. Ledger took life "too seriously" which led to his untimely demise in January 22, 2008.

I am a big fan of Mr. Ledger’s work; I used to watch “A Knight’s Tale” over and over again... According to the press releases, the australian tv and film actor died as the result of accidental intoxication/abuse of prescription medications commonly treating insomnia, anxiety, depression, pain, and/or cold symptoms.

With every second passing in life, we could never be turn back that time that we have lost. Find time to have fun, find that moment to enjoy, and definitely laugh more! Watch “The Dark Knight.” As the Joker said, let's put that smile on your face!

R.I.P. Heath Ledger.

Won tickets to Studio 23's Dark Knight Special Advance Screening! boo yah! Hehehe... ^_^

How many people do u know have reached such milestone? Its amazing to witness a bond, a relationship, a commitment, a marriage to last this long. With all the worldly frenzy, 50 years of marriage is such a rare feat isnt?

The belief in each other and the possibility of love. A decision, to ignore or simply rise above the pain of the past. The covenant, which at once binds two souls. The celebration, of the chance for two will always be stronger than one. Like a team, braced against the tempest’s of the world. And love... will always be the guiding force in our lives.

It's very rare to see in the past or today two people giving their hearts to each other, unconditionally. And, that's what true love really is. It's not this fairytale life that never knows pain, but it's two souls facing it together and diminishing it with unconditional love. With all the ups and downs, the fairy tale story of my grandparent's union is a proof that sacrifice, commitment, and love will indeed go a long long way.

Love stories are always intriguing since it gives every lovers a choice to be inspired and realize the existence of true love. Journeys are always exciting since it travels time and creates history. My grandparent’s love story, more than just a fairy tale, but a solid proof that unconditional love can survive the test of time.

Albert and Nena, my grandparents, are both alumni of Silliman University, located in Dumaguete City which at that time is known to be a “Party University." In one of their freshman welcome party for the Medical Department of the said university, Albert had a sight of Nena who was introduced to him by his younger brother.

 

Since Albert and his brothers were schooled in Silliman University since grade school and were known in sports, they always had the edge towards other male students, in short they were the "home boys" and the University campus is their "hood."

 

Nena, called mommy nens by us grandchildren, the

beautiful lady from Davao City is quite shy and very reserve. Being young and beautiful as noted by Albert, called big daddy by us. Albert claims she had the best legs and the smallest waist line (not that the she wears a mini skirt but he figured it out). Albert was indeed "love struck" was out there to impress Nena as being the "Man.”

Until 12 midnight struck, Cinderella time! Reality check! Albert realized he needed to finish high school!

 

Albert strived hard to finish high school and pursued Nena in College. Nena has no idea that her persistent suitor was younger than her. Albert triumphantly won the "lucky suitor award" and started dating Nena. Their first date was in Wurling Beach and Albert vividly remembered that was the first time he stole a kiss from Nena.

Years passed in college days and Nena had to pursue her medical studies in Manila. This college move never hindered Albert's love for Nena, he decided to take a janitorial job in the University to raise money and be able to visit Nena in Manila.

On July 9, 1958, Albert and Nena decided to get married after 7 years of dating. My grandparents was blessed with 6 children (my mom is the eldest) which made their 50 wedding anniversary journey worth the travel.

 

Having showered with love and joy by 13 grand children, "Big Daddy and mommy Nena" are thankful for God's blessings and provisions. It was amazing to witness something so rare and pure, its inspiring to know a story and pass it on let others know what love has given. On their 50th wedding anniversary we celebrate thanksgiving for love, good health, and strong family ties.

I love the scene from the movie Enchanted when they played this song, romantic and tragic at the same time. I feel like Patrick Dempsey every time I sing this song!! Hahaha... ^_^

You’re in my arms
And all the world is calm
The music playing on for only two
So close together
And when I’m with you
So close to feeling alive

A life goes by
Romantic dreams will stop
So I bid mine goodbye and never knew
So close was waiting, waiting here with you
And now forever I know
All that I wanted to hold you
So close

So close to reaching that famous happy end
Almost believing this was not pretend
And now you’re beside me and look how far we’ve come
So far we are so close

How could I face the faceless days
If I should lose you now?
We’re so close
To reaching that famous happy end
And almost believing this was not pretend
Let’s go on dreaming for we know we are
So close
So close
And still so far

So Close
