New Web Site

Sorry for the delay guys... but the reason I haven't updated this blog is because I finally have my own DOT COM!!! =)

Check it out at WWW.BRILLDELAMERCED.COM

Photoshoot. Nida

So during the video shoot, I took the time to grab Nida to take a few shots. I told her to pose right by the garbage. Sounds gross right? But hey she posed the SH*T out of the dump site. Plus it's not really as dirty as it sounds. It's pretty clean for garbage... I think I even saw one of the flies wearing a tuxedo... that's how fresh the garbage was. Anyway... check out Nida on her website HERE.

Nida is a cool, down to earth cat from Queens, NY. 

I hope to work with her again.

She made the job easier haha

behind the scenes

Here's some behind the scene shots for BDubdez music video Choreo (I would post up more but I accidentally deleted them after I gave the copy to my boy Alfy.) BDubez is a rapper from Brooklyn, NY that I met during the shoot through Alfy. He asked if he could use my studio for a video shoot. How could I say no?! My studio will be part of a music video!!

So they came today and Devin (who I also met a few days earlier) came early to set up the green screen. Then the rest of the crew came by. I don't want to spoil anything so I'll just give you guys some links.

Here's BDubez's MySpace and YouTube.

it ended pretty late!

I'll update you guys once the music video is complete.

For now you could just stay tuned!

Photoshoot. DJ Nano

Had the pleasure to do a session with DJ Nano today. It's such a small world, let me tell you. This guy has known my sister for years and his mom is good friends with my dad. I also saw DJ Nano on the stage at the Philippine Independence Day Parade... I never really realized it until I saw photos on Facebook. (I think I even took a couple pictures of him during the parade). Anyway you should click HERE to see a couple more pictures.

His website is still under construction but feel free to google it.

Philippine Independence Day Parade

Here comes the Philippine Independence Day Parade for it's 12th year. Every year is more successful than the previous. I can say that this year will be it's best because the president of the entire committee is no other than my dad. He's been giving a helping hand to this committee for I-don't-even-remember-how long. Anyway.. if you haven't yet attended a this fiesta come visit next year. It's always held on Madison Ave, NY and is on the very first Sunday of June. Google about it! =)

Jordan's Back

No... not Michael Jordan... sorry for making you even THINK that.. I wasn't really trying to hint it. But I'm talking about my friend Jordan who lives by the school. And when we want to ball all we had to do was scream out his name and a couple minutes later... he's coming out of the house, open his fence door, walk to the court with slippers, and is ready to ball-up with his newly showered self and gelled hair. It might be hard to imagine but that's just how he rolls.
This time around, though, is a bit different. He cut off his hair... and... oh wow... that's basically it. He's ball game is still not up to par, all his moves are the same, still misses the hoop... I don't know.. I think he should go back to the PI. =) jk Jordan. I missed you bro!

Happy Birthday, Noele!

I just want to give a huge shout out to my friend, Noele. Happy Birthday Noele! I've known you for only half a year and it's always been fun. From playing basketball, random pic messages, the photo studio, and playing with our dogs (even though Junior is really whack) it's always a hilarious moment. Well here's to you and your day to celebrate!

Random Pics

So I just arrived back to NJ today from the Philippines and I'm feeling super tired. I won't be able to post my photos of my visit because there's about 3,000+ of them. Plus I don't think you would want to see sad faces and tears... I went back to the Philippines for my grandfather's funeral. Although I did post up some Photo Of The Day pictures HERE. Those are the photos of the Philippines I felt good about to share. Here are a couple random things that I thought you readers might also like to see...

Banana Cappuccino...

it's REALLY not as bad as you think... 

Bacardi... about $12 there...

it's $10+ more expensive here

... and of course.

Happy Birthday, Jake!

Happy SURPRISE Birthday, Jake! Even though you totally didn't deserve if for finding out about it =P. Long story short, Jake's surprise bday was suppose to be last night to roll in to his REAL day. Unfortunately, it was cancelled... so Noele texts me and says to have the surprise tonight. And we did... Jake, you better have been surprised!... and take care of my old and rusted Razor scooter (it's my present to him).
