FHM Autograph Signing April 2010: Kristel Moreno

This event coincides with the 4th day of the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS) 2010. I was at WTC as early as 1pm to take pictures of the models at the said carshow. Me together with some friends went inside and walk around the area to take more photos before the autograph signing.

By 3:45pm, we went to the lobby to join other fans to have our FHMs signed by no less than Kristel Moreno herself. The place isn't that crowded and the ambiance was just right. However, the presence of bouncers in this event made some (or probably most) attendees uncomfortable. They were doing their job in ensuring security within the area but their looks were like kinda harrassing the fans once they get close to Kristel. They would really stare at you and your magazine as she (Kristel) signs up for you. One bouncer even shouted at us for placing our bags on the floor. I don't know why he did that but for me its not right. We just placed our bags on the floor for a while for us to get ready with our turn and all of a sudden he shouted at us like he wants us to go away.

But anyway, we had our FHMs signed as well as our photos taken with Kristel. She's actually nice and charming and made her fans (including me) happy since our magazines were signed. I hope that for May, there wont be anymore bouncers to agitate the fans.

Manila International Auto Show Re-Visited

 

After 4 months since the Car Show I attended last year, I was able to attend this event despite that I've missed almost 10 car shows in the last 4 months. 

MIAS (or Manila International Auto Show) is held once a year (for 4 days) at the World Trade Center in Pasay City. This is where car manufacturers, owners, enthusiasts and the like meet to showcase their rides and share it with others. Also models and photographers (from hobbyists to serious ones) meet here to have a free photoshoot (not exactly free since entrance fee is at 50 pesos for the walk-ins XD ). 

I went there for two days to exercise my shooting skills again to see if I lost my touch or not. Together with some good friends (Richard, Alex, Vince, Roj, and Ralph), we walk around the place and took pictures of the cars first before the models. I always arrive there by 1pm and leave 6 or 7 hours later making sure I've enjoyed the most of it. 

At the end of the day, I enjoyed not just taking pictures of cars and models, but taking pictures together with my good old friends as well.

Here are some more pictures for you to look at and enjoy XD.
