The Disappointed Beauty Queen

By Jameliz -
These are my shots for out portrait shooting assignment.

There were 9 of us in the workshop and we were grouped into 3 = 1 group per portrait concept. Our assignment was to take a portrait of the model as a beauty queen.

My groupmates and I formulated stories so that we can justify the lighting we want for our beauty queen. Here were my initial ideas plus the pegs, which I emailed to my groupmates:

1. Smallest Beauty Queen to Win a Pageant. I know i know, matangkad yung model. haha - pero pwede siguro ma-achieve ito pag yung angle ng camera ay medyo nasa taas looking down. 

Tapos if meron siyang mahabang dress, hindi natin siya pagsusuotin ng heels. hayaan lang yung dress magspread sa baba na parang oversized or something.

2. Wasted o adik na beauty queen. Nuff said. haha

3. Depressed beauty queen. Depressed siya because of failure. Mataas kasi ang expectations sakanya na makuha nya ang Ms Universe crown pero nabigo siya.




4. Sleeping Beauty queen. Etong beauty queen na ito may narcolepsy. Or pwedeng workaholic siya and sleeping is one of her prized activities. Pero interesting yung angle na narcoleptic siya. haha



The peg that won was the third one - depressed beauty queen.

And because Princess (the model) brought a sexy white gown, we opted to make the background black instead to make our lighting placement more noticeable. We lit her right and left sides with softboxes and filled the front with a reflector.


 
 
Our beauty queen may look a bit gloomy but her disappointment did not prevent her from looking as fierce as ever!

Movie views: "Moments of Love"

By Jameliz -

"Moments of Love" is a consequence of an old malfunctioning telephone.  The time-machine-like communication device connects the two phone pals, Marco (Dingdong Dantes) and Divina (Iza Calzado) who come from different time periods. They eventually fall for each other, literally giving meaning to the timelessness of love.  Reminiscent of "Somewhere in Time" and notoriously recognized as a rip-off of the Korean film "Il Mare," Moments of Love is short of good acting and character build-up. I understand though that Dingdong made a lot of effort to represent the character the best way possible. However, some of his excessive histrionics are uncalled for, which highlighted the film's shortness of emotional build-up. I just cannot understand how Marco could have fallen deeply in love with Divina to the extent that Marco cries and screams his throat off (in the course of a heavy rainfall of course) upon learning of Divina's death days la

MSG Kills Dogs -- But Not My Aunt's!

When we visited my aunt and grandma, I was unexpectedly welcomed by Duchess, my cousin's beautiful dog. It was very unexpected because Duchess had been sick since she gave birth to Chelsea. Her womanly part got so sore that it was sagging and very red. But that night, Duchess jumped on me very excitedly, like I was her long lost sister who came home from abroad. Chelsea, the only pet she gave birth to, was in her aloof but playful self. She's always been wary of strangers, and that includes me.

How to Enroll Your BDO Account for Internet Banking

Banco de Oro has become a fast growing bank ever since it was acquired by the Sy Group. Everywhere you go, you'll always spot a BDO branch or a BDO ATM machine. This is probably the best reason why I decided to open an account with them - besides the fact that most BDO banks are open until 5:30 pm so there's no need to rush just to beat the COB (close of business). Furthermore, BDO branches inside SM Malls are open until 7 pm so you can still pay your bills after you get off work. Anyway, as I've said, I just recently opened a passbook savings account with BDO and one of the first things I asked is if they have internet banking. The Account Officer was very kind enough to walk me through the process and it was after all fairly easy!
