Eat Well. Travel Often

SLOW SHUTTER APP

I love the lights. I love the streets.
I used my iPhone 4S in taking this photo with the “Slow Shutter” App.

It has 3 different types of shots. You can choose motion blur, low light, and light trail. In this shot, I used Light Trail. I tried to adjust the light sensitivity and capture duration to get that almost perfect shot. Unfortunately, I don’t have a tripod so it took me some time to get a clear shot. I tried standing up, sitting down, bending, and even STOPPED BREATHING! I also found wires from the billboards at the overpass to somehow bend it and form it like a tripod. Hahaha!

It’s a good thing that there’s no street vendor or “mysterious” people around the area but still I was very cautious at that time.

Well, all I need to do is to get a good tripod and try again! You also have to consider the weather and of course, the location. More practice for me!

Go to the Apple Store now and install the “Slow Shutter” app!

Storm the Dachshund

Jexx Hinggo 8:11 AM events , regular 0 Comments

She’s the cutest thing on earth! Storm is the newest pup in Hinggo Nation. She’s a 4 month old Dachshund and she loves to run and play… and BITE! Whew! She’s too cute coz she’s all covered in black fur, that you can’t even tell she has eyes! LOL.

We call her Storm after the passing of our dog Thunder, w/c is a Dachshund too. :) I had to look for a replacement coz it really saddened everyone in the house. I had problems in finding a new one. But I guess Storm is the right one and we know that God planned everything.

Now I realized that having a new dog is very expensive! LOL. She needs booster shots and vitamins, weekly check ups, and meticulous care. I’m glad she’s part of our family now. She gives happiness to all of us.

Welcome to the HINGGONation Stormy!

2nd Mindanao Photography Expo

I never thought I would become a model of a wedding photography expo! I don't even consider myself as a model! Hahaha! But what happened in the 2nd Mindanao Photography Expo was a blast and indeed, it was a very memorable one. My best friend Glorie asked me to join her in a wedding photo shoot in Abreeza. All I know was, we will just join a photoshoot with 2-3 photographers. Ambilis ng pangyayari at narealize ko na lang na nasa Abreeza na ako. Hahaha!

When I arrived in Abreeza, Ms. Roxie Dalisay from Hair and Make-up by Roxanne Dalisay already doing her magic to make my best friend beautiful. Ako? Anxious and I have a lot of questions about the event. When I realized na parang kami lang dalawa ang nag-aayos ng sarili, I asked her, “Bes, tayo lang ba ang models?” Sabi niya, “Oo bes, tayo lang.” Para akong nag #IceBucketChallenge sa gulat!

Then after all the chit-chats and preps, we finally met the speaker and strobist Mr. Alex Ruelo. And damn! He’s a cool guy! We had a live demo in front of like 50 photographers! Grabe! He asked us how to do this and that tapos picture sya ng picture. It was just awesome.

I really did not expect this to happen, actually. Thanks to my best friend for inviting me to her modeling world. To Ms. Roxie for making me look handsome. To Ms. Jenny Echano from My Skin Origins and Sir Allan Echano for the support. Ay grabe talaga. hahaha!

Happy Birthday Mommy

Jexx Hinggo 5:00 AM birthday , celebration 0 Comments

Last August 28, Thursday, me and my family celebrated my mom’s birthday at Viking’s SM Lanang. This was my mom’s 49th birthday and boy, it was expensive! Hahaha! Few months ago, my mom really requested to celebrate her and Carlo’s birthday in Viking’s. Since she heard there’s a LOT of food there and she finds it fancy.

After a few months of saving… actually I didn’t, I granted her wish and finally she can say she ate at the biggest buffet restaurant in the country, I guess. LOL.

I just wish my Mom good health. That’s the only thing I wish for her every time she celebrates her birthday. I love you Mom! More than anyone else! Mwah mwah, tsup tsup!

Kadayawan Invasion 2014

Jexx Hinggo 5:00 AM ayosditoph , dance 0 Comments

The city was invaded during the peak of Kadayawan Festival! Thanks to the wonderful minds of Spectrum Lifestyle Experience, we had fun in Kadayawan Invasion! This was one of the biggest and shall I say, the GRANDEST music festival to hit the city so far this year! I just can’t contain my happiness when I joined the team to make this party possible.

Davao was trending in social media for weeks because of this festival and… some unexpected moments that happened before and during the event. But hey! Can we all just party here???

The coolest thing about this party is that, it is more organized and secured. With all the bouncers, police, and accommodating event staff, you can just throw away your worries and dance with your friends all night! There are also wristbands for you to wear and they serve in different purposes. There’s a Fair Park for everyone who wants to cool down a bit and munch on sumptuous food. Freebies were given away from AyosDito to perk up the party! We also bought these cool neon and glow in the dark paints! Thirsty? Not to worry! They also have a lot of liquor stations! But of course, they were not served to minors. You can only buy alcoholic beverages if you have the black El Hombre wristband.

General Admission is at P350 and the VIP is at P2,000. For some, it was a bit pricy but they just don’t know the perks and freebies if you’ll buy VIP Tickets.

Anyway let’s go to the best guys who hyped the party, shall we? There were ACE RAMOS and NIX DAMN P, baby! Plus my favorite hype man MC PAOLO! And didn’t we tell you that there’s JULIO R too?! He’s too cute and he’s the youngest DJ to spin in the event! How cool was that?

Well, check my photos and tell me isn’t the stage stunning and impressive?

Of course, Team #BoryatNation was there too! There’s Lance, Oscar, and Yumi to party with me! They get perks too for helping me out in advertising this event.

Some guys took off their shirts and I’m glad no gal did the same! Hahaha! Everyone was there to party and enjoyed it with friends and loved ones. That was the main purpose of the event. To give an awesome experience using an awesome kind of music.

I’d like to thank my gals - Kaka Baltonado, Bianca Garcia Dizon, Tynne Reyes and to the dudes Janvie Tiu, Philip Marco Dizon!
