Fanboy

Last Wednesday, one of the wedding photographers that I idolize, Dino Lara was in Cebu for a wedding. I read his status message on Facebook and wished I could meet him. And, drum roll please, what luck! I got to meet him that night and had dinner with him. I totally love his work. Wait, do I sound like a rabid fan boy? LOL. PS: Don’t mind the pose.

Space Battleship Yamato


I’m a sucker for space operas, and Space Battleship Yamato, (SPACE BATTLESHIP ヤマト) a live action adaptation of the classic Space Battleship Yamato (Uchū Senkan Yamato or Star Blazers for the whitewashed version) anime series fits in perfectly. The movie was released last week (December 1st) and Im pretty sure a lot of oldies watched this in the cinemas since then. Gar SMAP member Kimura Takuya stars as Susumu Kodai paired up with leading lady Kuroki Meisa as Yuki Mori.
