Lud Lim

Another happy chinese customer I had was... Lud Lim. He's a chinese businessman fron Binondo. He confessed that he loves to travel and he's also very adventurous when it comes to food. No wonder he landed having his dinner with The Artist Chef.


I felt humiliated when I wasn't able to play a background music during their dinner. My music player exploded. So unlucky of me that day. Despite that they were able to enjoy their dining experience.


The famous Mango and Shrimp Medley


ME, in action putting the dressing


With Lud is his fiancee. I wonder if they are married already by now...

Lookie... Joanie's Rainbow

When I was a kid I always believed that there's a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow, but things change when you grow up. Now I only believe in rainbows and not in the pot of gold. No matter how colorful life is, stains and dirt always challenge its brighter side. And I interpreted this thought thru my painting decade ago. College days. I wonder where this painting is... Wherever it is, I'm glad that it came a long way. The most favorite deviation in my deviantart and now it's being featured in Deviant News and one of the most popular stories. A nice birthday gift :-)

Let's J-it!

Advertorial Ad I did for Boom Labrusca. You can see this ad in APPETITE and COOK magazine this May and June issue, I think. And you will also see him officially in the Jufran Sweet Chili Sauce TV Commercial.


Print Shoot @ Subject Matters Photo Studio in Blanco Center


Another photo with BOOM.


Photo Trip during our Jufran TVC last February taken by our producer Desiree Pe.

Carrots Alemany

The lady with the rosy white cheeks... I wonder what is her secret. Let me ask Carrots Alemany, a preschool teacher, married with one kid. Her secret... living her life the way she's always wanted to---like teaching at a preschool somewhere in Dela Costa, Makati and taking care of her little baby. Obviously simple things in life that will make us happy will surely manifest in our aura as a person. Look at Carrots. She's so lovely and pretty. Aside from her intangible secrets, Carrots is not into meat, but veggies. Her proof, when she also ate the salad of her husband and end up not finishing her paella. On the other hand her husband finished the Perth steak that I prepared.


Carrots is with her husband---A businessman who owns a sugar mill in Bacolod City. I think her husband belongs to a clan similar to the families of Anton Lagdameo and Jules Ledesma. They all have one thing in common---sugar mills. I find this couple so elegant yet so humble.
