Glee’s Darren Criss in Manila

It sure is a merry Christmas for Gleeks in Manila because Blaine will be coming to town next week. Darren Criss,  the 23 year old Filipino-Irish hottie who appears in Glee as Blaine will be performing live at the Ayala Malls on December 21 and 22, 2010. Mark your calendars as Santa delivers Darren Criss to you on December 21, 2010- 6:30 PM at the Greenbelt 3 Park, and and December 22, 2010 -7:00 PM at the TriNoma Activity Center.

Darren Criss joined the cast of Glee since the “Never Been Kissed” episode of season 2, in which he sang the lead vocals of the Katy Perry song ” Teenage Dream” with the Dalton Academy Warblers. The cover took the top spot on iTunes upon its release. Darren plays Kurt’s mentor and potential love interest. Although he plays an openly gay student in Glee, in real life, he’s straight and admits to having a crush on co-star Heather Morris, who plays the funny blonde cheerleader, “Brittany.”

Before his heartthrob status as a Glee star, Darren used to part of the theater company Team StarKid, formed by theater students at the University of Michigan. He essayed the role of Harry Potter in their production of the musical comedy dubbed as “A Very Potter Musical” which became a youtube hit.

MDs On The Runway II

I have a confession to make. Although I run a beauty blog and claim the domain to the vanity department, I’m not a stilletos type of girl. Well, that is, until the need to wear them arises. Two Sundays ago was one of those rare events that warranted me to steer clear of my regular comfy shoes, to join my fellow doctors do the catwalk, on the “MDs on The Runway II” Fashion Show.

This is the second time that the Misamis Oriental Medical Society (MOMS) organized a fashion show featuring the works of one of Cagayan de Oro’s top designers, Gil Macaibay III, modeled by the doctors of MOMS themselves. The event held last September 26, 2010 at the Grand Caprice was well- attended by bigwigs from both the fashion and medical world. This was a fund-raising project for the benefit of cancer patients of the Northern Mindanao Medical Center, a cause that’s clearly close to my heart. While it was fun to be a model for a night, it feels good that the revenues earned from this project will help pay for the treatments of cancer patients.

The Misamis Oriental Medical Society’s current president, Dr. Emily Ceballos, is a fashion plate herself, which explains the glamorous route to the group’s fund-raising event. Dr. Andresul Labis, (aka the one who discovered our modeling potentials), spearheaded this project. In behalf of all doctors, we’d like to thank Gil Macaibay III for his generosity in co-sponsoring the event. It was such a surreal experience to have been able to model his fabulous designs.Who would have thought that at our age, we could still be walking down the fashion runway?

Thanks are also in order to creative director Dennis Almazan, who choreographed our moves. The hair and makeup for the night was provided by Gil Macaibay’s team, while Roger Lactao and team handled the photography. The stage design was creatively arranged by Flower Matters.

I realized that walking in heels is a skill, which makes me all the more in awe for supermodels like Tyra Banks. For a first timer in the runway, walking in stilletos in a pretty, long dress with train was like mounting a balance beam. I was concentrating so badly on not turning the event into a comedy bar. The heels of my shoes frequently got caught up in the hemline of the dress I modeled. It makes me wonder how Kate Moss and other runway stars are able to pull it off effortlessly. Hopefully, I did not murder the Gil’s creations.

We had fun so much fun that evening, and it was a rare experience I was fortunate to have been part of. Below are some photo and video captures during the event:

Cinematica in CDO

Parc Cruz… Ku Manahan.. If either of these names ring a bell, then you must have been bitten by the photography bug. These are  two of the Philippines’ most respected photography giants who will be coming to CDO for a one day workshop. Dubbed as Cinematica Cagayan de Oro, Parc Cruz and Ku Manahan will be teaching Kagay-anons the essentials of lighting, photography, and post-processing, on September 12, 2010 at the Cagayan de Oro Polymedic Medical Plaza conference room.

When I saw the event’s poster tagged on facebook, I immediately contacted the person who posted it, who turned out to be our resident in Obstetrics during senior clerkship in med school, Dr. Carl Tan. An obstetrician and photo enthusiast in Cagayan de Oro, Dr. Tan is co-sponsoring the event with Hundred One Events & Exhibits.

About the Mentors

Ku Manahan took the musical route to photography by shooting concerts, band profiles, and singers. He’s done press photos, website photos, and album inserts for various local musicians. Capturing rock star enigma, the drama of fan hysteria, and human interactions in events that he covers are his melodious ways of expressing the beauty of music through the still and silent nature of excellent photos.

Parc Cruz has come a long way from experimenting and exploration, and defying conventions in photography. A self-taught master lensman, his inclination to the arts and movies earned himself a distinct brand of emotionally powerful and cinematic photos. Each shot reflects his visions of the movies playing in his genius head.

Music and movies soulfully translated into beautiful images.. what more can a photography student ask for? When these two are offering the rare chance to teach you the tricks of the trade, grab it! Even CDO gurus like Dustein Sibug are recommending  this workshop to everyone interested in photography.
