Three "M"s and Two "J"s

Tatlong "Maria"

 Mich del carmen / Michelle Gumabao / Melissa Gohing

Met these fine young athletes - only this year [2013]. ->Mich, at the UAAP [She's Adamson University's UAAP Courtside Correspondent] ->Michelle, at the UAAP too, through occasional Behind-the-Scenes, On-the-Spot photo opps.

->Melissa, - I actually bumped into her at the Resorts World [early November], as I was exiting, after shooting Women's World 10-Ball Pool action.  Melissa was just hangin' out  w/ a common friend.

Dalawang Libero

 Jheck Dionela  and  Jennylin Reyes

Just so lovable together - { More so, if you are a die-hard a volleyball fan } - and you see these two "little" liberos" [just playing w the 'L"s here] together  -  you simply have to take their pictures - together.  Kapag nagkakasama sila - Pre - Cute lang talaga sila tingnan !

They're Two of a Kind - Both are Liberos. Jheck played for Perpetual NCAA Volleyball Team while Jen played for the NU UAAP Volleyball Team.

Jheck has won an NCAA Championship, while Jen has won a Shakey's V-League Championship.  Both are now presently competing in the on-going Phil. Super Liga Volleyball Tournament - Jen is w/ the Cagayan Team, while Jheck is with the CIGNAL Team.   Jen's actually just a few inches taller than Jheck - but who cares

Took these four "snapshots" inside the Blue Eagle Gym during 'Fastbreak 2" 

 - a Fund Raiser [exhibition basketball game] [for the Yolanda victims] organized by Mav Gonzales / Josiah Albelda and Kiefer Ravena - w/ A Whole Lotta Help from their Friends.

One Thursday Afternoon

30 Minutes at the Atrium

[ONE FC Open Workout] [Resorts World]

A few captionless photos here -  -  -

When I arrived at the Resorts World Atrium - { Man, I felt so sluggish ---even drowsy-- - having NOT slept a wink the night prev - had to finish some very, very urgent work -}  .   .   .  Just non-chalantly took snaps here and there - when I should have been more inquisitive [my bad] and sociable w the fighters - Result -Don't remember any of the fighters name 'cept for Banario

ONE FC Director of Public Relations Loren Mack and 

GMA Correspondent Sab Magalona

 

     I do hope Sab finds time to check out my flickr site and blog.

[gave her my calling card] 

Dude, the 2 photos above are just "too generic/bordering on boring" shots - [No offense to Sab - NOT her fault !!] - I blame myself for that.  Could have - w/ a little Tact & Art Direction --- I'm sure ---  crafted the kind of images like the one's I'd shoot Behind-the-Scenes at the UAAP !! - Whatever .

 Well, the candid ones below - are more decent  .   .   .   Puwede Na  .   .   .

 

 Anyway - Two Parting Shots follow :

Anthony Suntay, Provocateur Head Honcho Charmaine Cruz

and Honorio Banario gave me a few precious seconds before I left.

Kean, Peach and Anthony too.

Thanx Guys.

------

From the Resorts Worlds - I wanted to go home ASAP and sleep - but had to proceed to the Canon Service Center at Magallanes [for the obvious reasons]. At the Service Center I ended up falling asleep, while waiting my turn.  I swear ! -I could have slept for hours on end !! - had it not been for my turn [they had to nudge me sev X]  {Next time I'll bring a pillow - Ha! FYI - total nap time ->30 minutes !!}.  After a few streches - I still wanted to go back to sleep but - 
[ y - a - w - n ]  

Well anyway  .   .   . Had my 2 DSLRs checked, followed up on my lenses under repair  - then had to leave for the Mall of Asia [PBA Philippine Cup].  -
