Last Sunday, storm and delubyo and all, I braved the baha and rain (sinong di mababaliw sa ulan?!) to attend The Feast's last session in Festival Mall. As one of the bloggers for FeastAlabang.com, I was assigned to write the article for last Sunday's talk...Ayoko namang biglang mag cancel! Anyway, I wouldn't regret going there in our center (For the south peeps: 2nd floor, near T&J!) ... actually realizing it was my first time to go there alone...Since my parents talaga ang active and servants pa sila dun. Anyway...carry din ang alone time, because then I watched this vid they showed to us during the talk, and just let myself cry:

I just wrote the Feast blog entry A Lesson From Our Athletes, and will keep you guys posted when it's published na online. :) Right now, I just feel blessed to (re)realize that I was never alone after all. And that in the end, it's not about winning, but finishing strong. "When you don't give up...you CANNOT fail!"
Amen!
PS: Another blessing:
Went downstairs awhile ago dahil sa napaka lakas lang na busina ng truck sa labas ng bahay..When I peeped through our window, I saw that they were delivery boys from Business World! Anagon Collection was featured last July 12 in their broadsheet! (High five tayo jan!) :D They gave me this complimentary copy (I really appreciate them going all the way here to send me one, wah! <3)...and since hindi clear ang words, check out the online version of this beautiful article by Ms. Victoria Vizcarra here: Juggle Art and Enterprise.
Thank you to Chai Muncal--the photographer of the pictures they published, and Jesrhel Co, the model! I was hoping for a citation. :P
More photos, from Chai this time, of RECONSTRUCT Collection here! =)
And most of all, thank You Lord for always pouring me with inspirations and love, especially now that you so-fully know what's in my heart. I love You, and all for You!
Megann linked to me this photo from Yvan Rodic's site (Facehunter). Note the wire gold headband of the third girl:
Which resembles my Golden Slumber Wired Heads! =) :
Finally! Second batch of photos from China Muncal (aka Chai) came few days ago in my email. First batch HERE! Still with the pretty Jesrhel Co as model. :)
I really love Chai's dreamy photos, that's why I chose her to photograph Anagon Collection's "classic pieces": The Golden Slumbers. It's as if the two-man team listened to The Beatles song while they were photo shooting...
Golden slumbers fill your eyes
Smiles awake you when you rise
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
Once there was a way to get back homeward
Once there was a way to get back home
Sleep pretty darling do not cry
And I will sing a lullabye
I'm so happy to have reached the 5 year mark in my little business. Is there a three-year itch thing in business, just like in love? ;p Also happy that my wire accessories made it through, still here thriving while trends and fads come and go. People still ask me if I'm looking for a full time "real" job. Seriously... 5 years, I tell you I'm actually still in love with what I am doing. ♥
Cheers Anagon Collection! :)
PS:
Win! Shoes and shorts in Death By Platforms big time giveaway! :D CLICK! :)
I had this "photo shoots phase" months or a year ago, where I had almost weekly collaborations with different photographers and models for my online shop Anagon. I realized that during that phase, people really text or message me online if they can model for my site, or be the photographer or make up artist for my next shoot, and all for ex-deal! Gah, those were the days, hehe.

I really miss photo shoots for my online shop, now the talented people don't really volunteer or take projects from products that aren't their style or something (but I understand). Other than that, everyone's so busy already, I can't even think of scheduling something! =/
Anyway, I had been planning to reshoot the oldest designs of my online shop, or what I call my classic Anagon pieces. naks. These are the wire art accessories from the Golden Slumbers Collection. And I am lucky to have a great photographer to do the photo shoot with her own model. I sent the products to her via courier (grabe ganon kami ka walang time or matched free scheds! =p), and a few days ago, she sent to me some edited photos via email. Here are the lovely pictures!!!
The cutest model. The best location. Dreamy photos. <3 I'm in love! :)
