Princess

While the entire Mindanao is troubling with electricity during the Easter, I decide to grab my camera and invite my young friend to pose for me. We have been planning this shoot for months and it took us less than 20 minutes to finish this shoot because the weather did not permit me to continue.

Nevertheless, here are some of my favorite photo from another newbie model/subject, Allyne. 
Giving my special shoutout to my crew this day, Tita Nene, Tita Vivian, Ate Sheila and the whole bunch of 'kulit' students from Cotabato Moo Duk Kwan.

2014 Summer Teambuilding

It Blue Warrior's biannual teambuilding and we head back to our campsite in Buda!


Many people believe that martial arts is not a team sports but I would like to share that in the past 14 years of my experience being a karate-ka (student) and an instructor, teams are still important even if the nature of martial arts in most competition is individual. 

Whenever we play or participate in tournament, teamwork has played a vital role in the success of each members and I think this is true in every aspect of our life. Our teams--be it our family, friend, classmates and acquaintance are our support group that catches us in times or trouble and lifts our spirit when we are down. True indeed and especially in Moo Duk Kwan, NO ONE GETS LEFT BEHIND.

So here are some snippets of what our weekend was. Feel free to grab photos as the full set of album will be uploaded in Facebook later tonight.
