Food Network’s Worst Cooks in America {Season 3}

Posted in Personal, Press/Features

Remember how I had that “special project” a few months ago?

Remember how I had some “special news” to share?

Well, it’s finally time to share my BIG NEWS with everyone!

FOOD NETWORK’S Worst Cooks in America, the hit primetime competition series that turns hopeless cooks into confident kitchen mavens, returns for a third season with two-time undefeated series champion Anne Burrell challenged by superstar chef Bobby Flay on Sunday, February 12th at 9pm ET/PT. The show pits Anne against Bobby, each leading a team of eight “recruits” in a grueling eight-week boot camp designed to transform these culinary disaster-makers into competent cooks. A $25,000 grand prize will be awarded to the winning contestant who achieves the most progress and best performance, in addition to bragging rights and victory for their culinary mentor.

As you can see, I will be one of the contestants on the show. So please tune in and root for me!

In the meantime, if you want to stay up to date with the latest news check me out on TWITTER AND FACEBOOK! Also, check out one of the promos for the show below! It’s HILARIOUS!

Farewell to 2011…..Hello 2012!!!

Posted in Personal

Photographed by Erich Chen

As 2011 comes to a close, I could technically showcase all the wonderful weddings and engagement sessions I’ve shot in the past year. Seriously, I have so many favorite shots captured of all my wonderful and dear clients. But instead, I wanted to do something different this time and just simply blog and pour my heart out to all my readers.

In all honesty, this year has been an amazing growth year for me. Not only has my business grown tremendously, but I feel like I’ve really grown up as a person as well. I don’t often like to discuss my personal life here on my blog too much. I mainly try to just focus on my clients and the lovely pictorials. But outside of my business, I’ve really dealt with a lot of loss this year that not many people even knew about. I had a very close friend of mine pass suddenly several months ago that really opened my eyes to living life to the fullest. My dear grandmother who raised me, recently moved to the Philippines for better 24/7 care. And I’ve also had my share of a lot of heartaches and bumps in the road this past year. But even though I had some heartaches and loss, my work has kept me smiling through it all. It’s kept me focus on what life is truly about which is simply being happy and making the most of it.

If anyone knows me, I go and get what I want in life. Nothing ever stands in my way. I always try to stay positive and keep focus. I love everything and everyone so hard and it’s simply because I am so passionate about living life like it’s my last.

So I wanted to take the time to remind everyone that even through the toughest of times, you can always prevail and things will get better. I’m all about spreading love and positivity in this world. You can never have enough of it! I hope that not only will my photos inspire you to keep positive, I also hope that my words will help you too. Life isn’t easy, but make the most out of it and stay positive! My motto this year was “Let your faith be bigger than your fear.” My faith is huge and I have faith that everything will be grand in 2012! I am quite excited!

So that is all…just wanted to say a big thank you for making 2011 sweet….but now let’s make 2012 ROCK!!!! I have a lot of ideas and goals for 2012 and I’m already in the middle of making it all come true! I’ll also be sharing some amazing news in the next week or so! So definitely check back for more info….you won’t want to miss out on it!
