Breaking Through The Arts

Today, we started shooting Rosswill Hilario's dance video. He invited me to join the production team. For sometime now, I was being told to join the arts with my interest in production design. I, initially, exposed myself behind the scenes observing tapings for some TV soaps. Now, in this collaboration, it was an immediately realized project that I am getting hands on with on various aspects. It started from scratch of brainstorming for the story to the full production on the shooting days. Here are some behind the scenes still shots I tried to take while cameras are rolling.

Treasure Hunting in Thrift Shops - My Mom's Influence

I was asked to help out in Auntie Rose's Kabunyan Thrift Shop located in the second floor of Hansel Arcade, a commercial building along Aurora Boulevard, corner of Imperial Street, in the bustling business center in Quezon City, Cubao. 

I was already 5 months off from being unemployed after I originally planned to go back to school, supposedly, to take up law. Then, my allowable period to be enrolled has passed since I passed the entrance exams and interview in one of the leading schools of law in country. Maybe I am not set to get into Law School, I may not have my mindset to it. So I may not really molded for such... I am not much of a smooth talker anyway. There may be other plans for me to be into. And I realized that I need personal income. So, although I went on with bar operations with our Restobar back home in Baguio, I found something more interesting to do, getting into retail, via my old time favorite, Thrift Shopping.
