“Man, being reasonable, must get drunk; the best of life is but intoxication.”

Day 2 of Uncle Ange’s “Youth Night“. 10.11.2008. el Salvador.

We had loads of fun at the recent photo shoot for the Milka Quin summer line (naks!).
I think ate Milka is still sorting through the gazillionjilliontrillion images that were taken last Sunday. We’ll publish those photos soon. In the meantime, here are some behind the scenes shots to keep your excitement at bay.

Mark was busy frolicking with sea turtles underwater, so I took over clicking duties at the beach. This goes to say that I take full responsibility for all the blurry, out-of-focus shots. Freakin shutterspeedthingamajigs eluded me. Sorry. But I digress.
Our easter weekend was full of intrigue. Xyzha was especially passionate about “spreading the word.” Hahahaha. […]

Before Baby left for the States, Hastang asked Fruhlein to lend her vocal powers to “Old Lovers’ Mantra”, an original Hastang song. I wanted to invite everyone, but Fruhlein threatened mutiny if I did. So, I reluctantly gave in to the wishes of our very shy guest performer.
Tanawa ang nawng. Paminawa ang tingog. Gakurog. […]

Evidently, Khyle is one of Mark’s favorite subjects. He now has an extensive collection of Khyle’s impish smile, occasional tantrums, signature antics, and general kakengkuyan (among others).
Quoting Mark:
A lot of people have been bugging me to post this little guy’s photos. So here are some of them.
This is Khyle, YanYan’s nephew. The one and only […]

Tita Aida
Siya ang tunay na Mrs. Redoble. Hehehe. At the risk of attracting unnecessary controversy, let’s give her the “legal wife” label and be done with it. Let’s just say that Tita Aida is so excited to see her hubby again but is looking forward to catching a new hubby as well (bweheheheh), and leave […]

Guile chronicled Hastang’s recent trip in his very detailed blog post. Read it to get a sense of what Hastang went through. It’s vicarious living of sorts for me.
More pictures are available here, here, here, here, and here.

“Hastang Night” in Maru Bar (Feb. 15, 2008)

This past weekend, we rocked with Hastang in Maru Bar, joined a leftist rally on the streets of Makati, frolicked in Ayala Avenue, relived (and reenacted) our insanity at the Centennial UP Fair, shivered in the unbelievably cold breeze of Tagaytay, gaped in awe at the elegance of Sonya’s garden, discovered the perfect venue for […]

Kirah celebrated her 7th birthday last night.
Venue: Toralba St.
Menu on the table: sinugbang isda, kinilaw, lechon, lumpia, pancit, chocolate cake, biko, etc. (*burp*)
Biggest revelation: Kahlil has a girlfriend! Yahoo!
Happy birthday, ate Kirah!

We were planning to bring Khyle to Corona del Mar early Sunday morning. Our plans were all set, Mark canceled his band practice, and we even went to bed early just to make the 8am curtain call (“early” being before 5am. heh).
At 10am on Sunday, I stirred from a deep sleep to check my […]
