I wanna see your Polka Dot-dot

I just came home from Red Dot's launching of Polka Dot. It's their new line which includes shoes, bags, accessories, and clothes that'll only be available exclusively at www.shopreddot.ph :) It was a night of shopping for the playful, sweet, edgy and young (even young at heart) girls!

Eric and I are super happy for Red Dot. Having been part of the preparation behind the scenes, it was excruciating yet passion in doing things we love got the whole of us. It was like work but more play at the same time. Working with Visionaire, Inc. (the company that owns Red Dot) is a pleasure indeed. :)

Because I can't wait for more legit pictures from friends and fellow bloggers of how the event was so fab and girly, i'm too excited to show you guys the not-so-many pictures i took. Almost everyone including myself was too busy and enjoying mingling with each other.

We arrived a little late..boo! :( Eric and I weren't able to watch the fashion video and video montage he edited. I was excited about that part too aside from the shopping part. Our eldest sister was super sweet enough to treat us to shop with a minimum amount. Haha! I got myself some wrist-blings and my other sister got herself a really cute sheer-topped one piece dress. I've been eyeing on a necklace and some tops but because we got there a li'l late, i guess someone must've gotten them items already or maybe i just couldn't find it from all the crazy shopping going on. :) Getting first dibs before it goes online, how awesome is that! We were like hoarders. Haha!

And how could I ever forget to mention, let me just say that the food was soooo good! Specially the cute dessert corner, i'd love to know where the macaroons came from! I never thought myself of having a sweet tooth until I had those sweets!

I will stop writing now so you'll know what I mean. Haha! I will update this post with more photos as soon as I get a copy of them. For now, here's a sneak peek!

Enjoy!

Royalties in Heels

It's been a long time since I last took photos for Royalty. China, the owner of the boutique who started out accepting pre-orders of fabulous shoes online is now one of the most successful young entreps in the city. :) She has branched out her business not only in the north but even up to Cebu.

Bloggers Meet-up

Usec. Manuel "Manolo" Quezon III, the Commonwealth President's grandson visited Ilocos Norte and wished to meet bloggers from the Ilocos grounds last May 4th. I was privileged to receive an invite from a fellow blogger Mr. Herdy Yumul who organized the whole thing.

I was hesitant at first because first of all, I'm a photo-blogger and I rarely write about issues in here. I am not as opinionated as most bloggers/writers neither am I in person and I always (only) blog about what I captured with my camera. But still, it was an honor. :) This is the first time ever bloggers from ilocos norte are coming together and I sure didn't want to miss it!

I had to run to the meeting because I had a photo shoot in the morning and we finished after lunch. I ended up being 20-minutes late. So uncool!

Sir. MMQIII's meet-up with us was very informative. There were discussions and all I did was listen and agree (by means of nodding) to some insights. It was nice to know that the government is now aware of bloggers and the power, risks, and capabilities of what blogging can do. I learned a lot specially about preserving our culture and how blogging has such strong influence to the social network.

It was also wonderful to see that there were quite a number of ilocanos who blog. The only ones i know personally were Blauearth, Surprisingly Kitsch, Ms Tricia, Mam Ritchelle Dejolde, Ilocos Futures, Doc Edwin, and the man behind Riknakem. I'm looking forward to another meet-up though and get to know more of the other bloggers as well. :)

Enjoy the photos!
