Amazing Body

Last Tuesday, our group Lumad Basakanon had a meeting. The agenda of the meeting were about our bookings and victory party. Before the meeting started, my co- dancers were amazed with my figure. They were asking if I am taking fat burner or any remedies that I applied or performed. They even told me that it would have been great if I had that body during the Sinulog Festival.  I just simply told them that walking up and down the stairs makes me slimmer and looks great.

After that conversation, I went to the choreographer’s house and played “Plant versus Zombies”. After one hour of waiting, we finally started the meeting.

Sinulog Photo Contest : Mikhail Arrogante Rules!

His photos are really amazing. A photo can only be excellent if you are professional. However, due a new technology today you can capture a certain subject and uplift its beauty with an aid of digital cameras. Having a digital camera is vital now days.  Capturing the significant moments of your life is one of the most valuable and indispensable way of living the life to the fullest.

His winning piece subject is the Lumad Basakanon contingent. It was shoot with full of energy, vibrant and life.
