Styling Sprees, 2006

Dug some old styling works I did way back in 2006, fresh from college and trying to find my way in the real world. All I know back then was I wanted to do anything that deals with fashion. After doing some styling jobs for FHM I met make up artist Myca Velarde, (whom I styled for the men’s mag) we would hook up and collaborate with young designers, novice photographers and neophyte models so we can beef up our portfolio. I would go through my closet and scoped out ukay finds so I can come up with concepts for our shoots. It was undeniably one of my happiest and fulfilled moments. You’re young, fearless and driven by so much passion that the creative process seemed mundane. I would commute all the way from Laguna lugging a bag full of clothes, accessories and dreams that one day I would be part of the local fashion industry.

When reality sets in and wakes you with responsibilities, bills and corporate allure, you forget the real reason why something makes you feel passionate and fulfilled. I am done denying what I really love.. and looking at this pictures gives me a sense of fulfillment that what you truly love will bring you to where you really are destined to be.
