It’s Sarah Geronimo’s cover on Luxe Magazine. After giving you a preview from the photo shoot, the actual issue is out now and couldn’t wait to share it! It’s the Pop Princess as you’ve never seen her before. I must say, she looks so fab! I really had fun during the shoot! Hope you like how the photos came out!

Guess who’s in today’s Style Weekend supplement of the Manila Bulletin?

It’s me and my new video podcast, “Raymund Isaac: Adventures Behind My Lens”.  It’s where you can see what truly happens behind the country’s most glamorous shoots…..plus more!  Wanna know what “more” means?  The first episode is the making of Piolo Pascual’s book, “Piolo: Revealed”, and everything and anything and a whole lot more that could happen in making the book.

Apart from viewing or downloading straight from the website, we are also on iTunes.   SUBSCRIBE NOW! 

Hu-waaaaaawwwww!   Not a biscuit, not a cake, not a sandwich….but ALL OF THE ABOVE!  For us with the sweet tooth, this is the best.  To quote AiAi de las Alas, “diz is really iz it!”, when it comes to yumminess.

I’m talking about Oreo Cakesters.  The picture in the box looks like your regular Oreo cookie, but if you look closer, it’s a cake instead of a cookie that hugs the vanilla cream inside.  Amidst that entire crowd at the S&R sale last week, I managed to sneak a box in my cart and enjoy a bit of heavenly bliss in the office.  The first bite got me dancing on my chair.  Sa sobrang sarap.I didn’t know whether to express my joy in Ilonggo, Tagalog, or English.  Kung hindi lang nakakahiya, I would have grabbed the other cookie which I shared with Manjo.  It comes in two’s per pack, and if I didn’t have good manners, Manjo would taste air instead of the cookie.  Sige na nga.  Because you’re my friend, I will share it with you.  (Sincere ba?)

So, now I’ve officially proclaimed a new name for this gorgeous snack.  It’s called Oreo cook-cake.  And if you and I are to remain friends, get your hands off my cook-cake, please.  Thank you.  (Polite naman, di ba?)

Now let’s see what happens when I put ice cream on top of it……­­­­­

Better late than never! The latest issue of WHERE MAGAZINE is out! The release of this issue was delayed due to the numerous amount of work we had these past few months. It was tiring yet very fulfilling!

Drum roll please! Here it is, featuring Sarah Geromino on the cover to calm each traveler during the rainy season with her charm and humbleness. I must say, I am a fan! Not everyday you see someone as down to earth like her. Together with humility is a killer talent, singing while dancing is a hard thing to do but Sarah G. does that beyond perfection.

 For all the techies out there, this issue is perfect for you. Know how to make use for your gadgets in planning hassle free travel plans by reading our featured articles.

And of course when you travel with Raymund Isaac, you will not miss out on what’s happening in the celebrity world as he shares his experiences in shooting the hotel heiress, Paris Hilton, partying with the glamorous Ruffa Guitierrez, and reaching out to domestic violence victims through stars like Boy Abunda, Ai-Ai delas Alas, Amy Perez, Marc Nelson, Mylene Dizon, and so much more!

Rare.  If there is one who suffers from it, it is kept a secret.  Medications are unknown as of this writing.  The symptoms suddenly appear before you know it.  The disease has vague definitions and boundaries.  It’s called Bi-Coastal Disorder.

My name is Mitzi, and I have bi-coastal disorder.

There.  I said it.  My symptoms started a year ago, when I suddenly realized that if planes were like jeepneys, I’d be working in Manila during the day, and sleeping in Bacolod at night.  But since they’re not, I spend a week in both places; juggling my life in various roles depending on what business I’m taking care of. 

I suddenly developed this uncanny ability to automatically switch between the Bacolod mode and the Manila mode.  Like a light switch.Like having dual personalities, but not quite.  Person is still the same in both modes, but just doing a different role.  And as stress may sometimes blur the patient’s thinking, I tend to forget where I am.  I sit at my desk, doing my Manila work, only to look up from my computer and realize, I’m in Bacolod and need to be doing Bacolod work.  Or when I’m grocery shopping at Rustan’s, and can’t find what I’m looking for, I call the saleslady and say, “Inday, diinganiangmantika?”Hay, ambot.

I noticed, too, that I travel lighter these days.  No need to bring clothes.  Why?   Sufferers have the tendency to have two sets of everything, so that we can breeze in and out of each city without having to worry about toothbrushes and underwear.  That includes computer cables, external drives, and an extra laptop. 

Because of my provincial roots, I am often asked to bring pasalubong.  Bi-coastal patients are obsessed and are very particular with the type of pasalubongs to bring to Manila (in an office where everyone is always hungry).  Piaya, barquillos, Caramel and Mango Tarts from Virgie’s, Napoleones from Quan, taba ng talangka, canned crabmeat, puto, and my ever famous adobo nakulay orange made by our kasambahay of 20+ years.  Even Piolo Pascual swears by my adobo and talangka.  Wait till he tastes the crabmeat.  He will probably ask me to marry him.  Sorry, hijo, I’m already taken.  (By the way, bi-coastals have wild imagination, too.)

Think you may be experiencing some of the symptoms I have?  Well, if you are, good luck to you.  No medication has been found yet.  But so far, I don’t mind not curing it at all.  It’s a good break between the big city and the provincial life.  Like having the best of both worlds.  Di bala?

Hi everyone!

 I am proud to share that I am one of the 14 Canon Brand Ambassadors featured in the Philippine Star today, September 2, 2011.

“He has been shooting fashion models for over 25 years. And because beauty is his specialty, international glamour magazines have been vying for his services. ‘An image should last the test of time’, says Raymund. ‘That’s why I create images that mix the classic genre with today’s interpretation of beauty’. “

 You can see the entire article and the rest of the Canon Ambassadors at page I-3

WARNING:

DO NOT GO TO BENCH SALE IF YOU DO NOT HAVE SELF-CONTROL. 

Where can you buy jeans at 850 pesos,  PERIOD.

MY DENIM JEANS SALE ACQUISITIONS: 10 PAIRS.

 Yes, you read it right. I got myself 10 PAIRS of Bench Overhauled Jeans.

From slim cut to skinny to detailed bottoms when reversed, I GOT it.

Check it out: Black and White checkered prints at the bottom when folded. 

Envy me red – I love that they have colored hemlines underneath.

So don’t blame me for getting a LOT of jeans.

So… what’s your favorite Bench clothing?

Hi there!

I wake up around 6am yesterday. Makulimlim ang araw at nagbabadyang bumuhos ang ulan, nakikisabay siguro dahil one of my officemate is leaving. Despidida day and cheat day for us.

I’m shocked when he delivered piles of microwavables. When I saw it, feast day din pala. He cooked tuna casserole, chicken BBQ, Caldereta, Shrimps and etc. Imagine! Iodine ang protein overload! But hey, I had a great lunch, munching those shrimp shells and chewing well-done chicken. I just can’t stop building rice mountains to my plate. It was just so good! My officemates noticed and poked me that I should stop eating baka kasi sumakit batok ko. Sorry na lang kay Marge (get well soon and eat well!) at kay Daniel. They missed half of their lives.

Sad.

Yesterday, Friday, August 19, 2011. Ago Coronado decided to leave the office for good. A good friendship is emancipating and I know we’ll see you again. Isang tambling ka lang naman from our office kaya try to bring more  next time kapag bumisita ka. I know, gagawin mo naman yun! Bwahaha! (In pa-sweet tone).

Well, there’s nothing permanent in this world but change or should I say ’ changes’.

Accept it and that’s a fact.

Ciao.
