Stu & Stellar Atelier

Marcia Cruz / Stu Balmaceda / and Anna Romero

give me a few precious secs - to show their true colors.

 One thing I've been learning is [the hard way, lately] -> work is work AND it has to be done well AND finished on time - wether one is paid, a fortune, or a pittance, or nothing at all - wether one works with the coolest guys in town, or the worst asshole[s] in town, wether one's working hours are managable or insanely insane, wether one's bosses are compassionate or unforgiving.  It's either one is committed to it or not - no room for ifs and buts or half measures.

Occasionally, though, one is fortunate to get to work/team up with people who are just fun to be with.  If good company makes a meal a feast, then most certainly good company makes work feel like play, something one looks forward to.

This post is just about that one simple dude, Stu. I've worked with the guy several times already, as part of a team, working on several modest projects, as of late [last June, we were together in Subic, along with another business colleague and good friend of mine, Rick Olivares]

[back to my still cam] prepares to speak.

 Come rain or high water - the job has to be done.
Philsports shuts down the lights - yet, the Team continues to work.

 Light Moments
Why Not ???

Maybe, because we get each other's jokes or
 just enjoy talking about guy stuff - There's never a dull moment w Stu.

The Team has worked on several locations - the  NU premises [near Legarda], the Moro Lorenzo Gym in Ateneo [was featured in an earkier post in this blog], the Philsports Arena and, more often than not in the offices of Stellar Atelier, editing videos and stills, along with the other two guys from Stellar - Karlo and Ago - whilst sharing junk food and/or green jokes - and talking about girls.

Actually, I've started to miss helping out the guys in Unit 23P of One Gateway Plaza [near Robinson's] [that's where Stellar Ateleier has it's office].

 This girl too [below], another member of the Team,

 is fun to work and hang with.

Alexandurrah ! [her Blue Tooth ID]

Why always absent [is it a "family thing" again] ?

 [I still don't have a great portrait of you] !

Plano raw mag iinuman tayo pagkatapos ng mga project natin !!

Oompaloompah !!
