    I thought taking portraits is as easy as clicking that button of the camera or hitting that circular tool in our digital camera. But after attending two sessions of Huawei's "Behind Portrait Photography" Workshop, I learned a lot - more than a lot! Sorry for this exaggeration but Ms. Sarah Black and Sir Veejay Villafranca really shared amazing views and suggestions during those activities. One of the most important notes in getting amazing portrait shot is the tool - the kind of Camera and this time, I found it with Huawei's latest smartphone engineered with Leica, the Huawei P10.

    On June 1, a group of Cebu Media and Bloggers gathered in Chateau De Busay for a preview on what would this workshop looks like with the Country's Top Fashion Photographer, Ms. Sarah Black. “The most iconic portraits are defined by outstanding lighting and clarity of details. Working as a lifestyle photographer for many years now, I always place a premium on how these two elements are reflected in every shot I make, and the Huawei P10 makes this very convenient. They instantly give dramatic touches to every photo, revealing interesting stories or realities of every subject that are rarely captured even through words,” Sara Black shares.

    Now, here are some of the amazing portrait shots that our friends from Cebu Bloggers Society took during the June 1 workshop.

    Summer is not yet over as our beloved flip-flop, Havaianas brings back the most anticipated Customization event of the year, the Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH) 2017! I was born in the year 1987, so I can relate to the 90's generations - why am I telling this? Oh dear, #MYOH2017 sets foot into a different time and, hands down, it's one of the best decades ever, the 90's!!

    Every year, Make Your Own Havaianas (MYOH) lets Havaianaticos step into a different place with the fun themes that inspire the total flip-flop customization experience. And this year is the coolest ever! Here are my top 5 reasons why?!

    1. It's the 90's baby!

    We already experienced the colorful Brazil, sunny Hawaii, and kawaii Japan! This time, let's do the 90's! The '90s was an awesome decade. From the music to the fashion, the movies to the TV shows, the toys and games, to the slang, and the list of reasons goes on and on. It was a simpler time.

    2. Pixel-inspired Commemorative Pair is Love. <3 <3 <3

    It comes in a classic black sole with pixels, inspired by the 8-bit video games that defined the decade. Cue in the nostalgia.

    3. Throwback 90's-themed Pins are total must-have!

    The pins are also '90s-themed and they are totally rad. The choices include throwback icons of a TV, cassette tape, boom box, and a video game icon. There's a pin that simply says “I ❤ 90s” for those who lived through this rad time.

    4. Enjoy your "Glow in the dark" Pins. (wink)

    Back in the day, bedrooms were a whole lot cooler if they were glow-in-the-dark. So, Havaianas has come up with glow-in-the-dark pins that come in five super fun designs: a lightning bolt, smiley, star, and lips.

    5. MYOH2017 has two legs in Cebu, Ayala Center Cebu (June 9-12) and SM City Seaside Cebu (June 15-18). 

    In Cebu, this year’s MYOH will have two legs.  Head to All Flip-Flops Ayala Center Cebu on June 9 to 12 and All Flip-Flops SM Seaside City on June 15 to 18 for something very cool, or as ‘90s kids would say, totally phat. For the first time ever, Havaianas makes use of 3D printing technology that can print pins before your eyes.

    Last weekend was filled with styles and tasty treats as Shangri-La’s Mactan Resort & Spa celebrated its latest installment of Mugnâ series in collaboration with award-winning Cebuano designer Neil Felipp at the Lobby Lounge. Aside from Cebu's pride, Felipp's collections, the event will also highlight on the chicly-designed cupcakes by the resort’s pastry team.

    Detailed metal craftsmanship utilizing locally-sourced materials, dabbed with a touch of ethereal elegance are iconic of Neil Felipp’s creations. The young designer began his journey at the University of the Philippines–Cebu, under the tutelage of Kenneth Cobonpue. He has since received accolades for his work, including at the Look of Style Awards 2014, for which he was sent to the United Kingdom for further studies.
