You know I would really like to thank all my photographer friends who have been encouraging me to shoot more and more – and thus invest a little bit more into this hobby. To mind come friends like Elber, Anton, Jed and Markku.
And so yesterday I got myself a Canon Speedlite 580EX from Mayer (Hidalgo) delivered to the house.
I posted some shots taken with this with some help from Elber (behind model) and Knox (model).
Shooting for a food and beverage magazine has its perks. Aside from being able to binge after (hurriedly) shooting food, you get to meet a lot of interesting foodies and chefs who can teach you a lot about the F&B industry. So with slight hesitation to stray from my blog’s main niche (although I did get this from a food magazine shoot so it counts), I write this post.
Today I shall impart some “matter of fact” knowledge about house iced tea served in different establishments. Apparently the recipe for house blend iced tea in a good number of hotels and country clubs is no secret. It is simply a mixture of the following ingredients:
Two Parts Sunquick Orange
One Part Sunquick Lemon
brewed Lipton Tea Bags
The blend differs with the mixture of the three ingredients. The magic formula is two parts orange and one part lemon and mix these with the brewed Lipton tea bags. Aaand that’s it!
This may come as a surprise for most of you considering that the Blog Parteeh is already tomorrow.
A recent turn of events has led me to take a temporary blog leave for an indefinite period of time. These series of events has left me with little choice but to heed other priorities that may take me away from blogging.
I will still be around – you know how to reach me. Cellphone and email will do, but I doubt I will be able to answer your important calls within the next 8 months.
One of the biggest impediments to deal with when coming back from a vacation is the piled up paperwork. In the old days, this was usually piled onto your desk’s “in tray” but because of the digital revolution, everything – all 300+ emails are now piled into my email server.
And it sucks too because I never made any contingency to separate work mail from personal mail as my work mail gets forwarded to my personal account.
Ironic also, because that Getting Things Done book I bought is gathering cobwebs on my table too. Time for a change I guess 🙂 (yeah right!)
One of the best perks about the publishing industry is when you’re sent off to cover items that your magazine features. It just so happens that I’m shooting for a food magazine tomorrow till Wednesday or Thursday – and this usually means a gastronomic delight after every shoot!
If you’re doing the a magazine on F&B, you tend to attend less events, but you’re always surrounded by food, glorious food!
Proposition:
If tech journalist A needs to return the iPod after he has reviewed it, does it mean that food critic A should spit out the creme brule after he has sampled it?
Food, glorious food!
