This was a really fun shoot to do! These celebrities are actually quite funny and quirky, making the job very easy for me!  Sam Milby took his speech bubble very seriously – he even made his own motorcycle and he worked on it for about an hour (“I was the best in arts and crafts when I was in school!”).

These were shot for World Vision to advertise their 12-Hour Famine Campaign. This event is happening on November 19, 2011 at the Ynares Sports Arena in Pasig City. You may also visit their Facebook page here for more details.

Watch the video for the campaign, filmed and edited by my husband, Leo Ilagan:

I Say \”NO\” to Hunger!

For events (weddings, baptisms, parties, etc.), see you again some time next year!

I wasn’t aware of the lunar eclipse until I heard the news announce it the night it was due to arrive! And, wow, was it a perfect time to witness eclipse: the sky was crystal clear! So crystal clear that several stars were visible, twinkling in the sky (very rare in Manila these days), and the moon was absolutely radiant.

I have never seen a lunar eclipse before and as it unfolded before my eyes, I could not help but wonder at God’s amazing creation and power! It also reminded me of what a teeny, tiny speck I am compared to the universe and whatever lies beyond.  What a great comfort to know that my God – who created and loves me – is an ENORMOUS God and nothing is in beyond His control.
