XOXO Wedding Photography Workshop by Nelwin Uy

The minute my friend Dylan of Vatel Manila posted about Nelwin Uy’s first wedding photography workshop, I panicked. I browsed through the course outline and decided it was the workshop I’ve been waiting for, which included the entrepreneurship of  photography- wedding photography to be exact. I signed up quickly before slots ran out.

Then it hit me, why would a photography noob like me want to learn about making money from an enterprise where my skills are still mediocre?

The thought that it was no less than Nelwin Uy giving the workshop, I jumped at the opportunity, not thinking about the current level of my skills, because it was simply a rare learning experience.I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to be a wedding photographer but if I’m going to indulge myself in photography, I might as well learn how to earn from it.

Meeting the Guru

For someone highly esteemed in the wedding industry, one would probably expect a man with a bloated ego. However, Nelwin Uy proves that humility and success are not mutually exclusive. From the replies to email, to meeting us at the venue, he was very warm and courteous. He made sure that every attendee was personally welcomed. He extended his hands and introduced himself as though we didn’t know who he was.

Wealth of Inspiration

I’ve attended a few photography workshops before but XOXO was something else. The volume of information provided honest, practical, straightforward, yet inspiring knowledge. Coming from a guy who walks the talk, you just know you made the right investment.

The realization that he was speaking in front of a crowd for the first time overwhelmed Sir Nelwin. He was so apologetic about it, claiming he wasn’t born a public speaker. To us, it was perfectly understandable. The room roared in applause, assuring that everything was fine. Witnessing his flaws dispels the rumors that he is an alien who shoots crazy beautiful out -of this -world images.

Nelwin Uy is amazingly secure in his status that he didn’t mind spilling the beans about the ins and outs of the business to people who could rise to be his competitors. He was telling his stories with no trace of arrogance, even advising on disciplining oneself regarding finances and how not to give in to whatever new gear is in the market unless absolutely necessary.

Guest speakers were invited to talk about the methods that could help boost a wedding supplier’s business. Jana Simpao of Bride and Breakfast introduced her site and gave tips on blog-worthy photos. Dan Matutina, a graphic designer, emphasized the value of design and branding. Marbee Go, the editor-in-chief of Wedding Essentials Magazine, encouraged the submission of photos to their publication.

Walking With The Giants

My classmates in the workshop were mostly established photographers from different parts of the country. I was a midget walking with the giants. But talking to them was a learning experience in itself. Seeing the beautiful shots posted in their respective websites made me want earth to swallow me whole out of embarrassment, but as Sir Nelwin mentioned in the workshop, photography is creative a skill that can be learned without being a child prodigy. True enough, creativity and good taste are innate but skills have to be acquired through experience. Mental note to self: practice, practice, practice! I cannot let my precious XOXO knowledge go to waste.

I’ve been debating with myself whether or not I should post my own outputs. Admittedly, my abilities are not yet ripe for the picking but I got to start somewhere.

Whether you're a professional,a hobbyist like me, or simply a Nelwin Uy fan, be sure to sign up if ever he offers another workshop in the future, and make it quick as slots tend to fill up in the blink of an eye. I assure you , the investment will be well worth it.

Garnier Pure Active Skin Solutions

My teenage nieces managed to keep blemishes under control using Garnier products. I haven't really tried Garnier skin care line despite the raves because with my problematic skin, I've lost hope in anything that promises solution to acne.



I've mentioned time and again how zits can be a self-esteem crusher, especially for teens whose hormones are going berserk. But there has to be some way to get them out of this rut. School opening is just around the corner, making them prone again to stress and breakouts.

It's just timely that I got hold of 2 new Garnier products to try: the Garnier Pure Active Multi-action Scrub and Garnier  Pure Active Anti-imperfections Cooling Roll-On when I have an impending pimple on the nose, yet again. I've always thought my skin needed some expensive out of this world secret potion to calm my blemishes down, and not some drugstore brand found ubiquitously at grocery stalls like Garnier. With the testimonials from my nieces, it ought to be worth a try for easing the burden of  blackheads, acne, and ugly marks left.
Will these bring back my hope on acne-busting products?

Garnier is a leading European natural beauty brand that uses whenever possible carefully extracted nature-based active ingredients. It boasts of the proven efficacy of its products. Pure active line helps target imperfections and marks.


Garnier Pure Active Multi-action Srub

A creamy scub with gentle micro-beads containing purifying salicylic acid, an antibacterial active, combined  with regenerating Herbarepair from blueberry extract to visibly fight 6 signs of acne day after day. It helps target blackheads, imperfections and marks, for clearer looking skin.Pure Active Blackhead clearing scrub helps skin feel clean and purified.

How to use: gently massage on wet face, lather instantly. Rinse off with water. Avoid eye area.

Garnier Pure Active Anti-imperfections Cooing Roll-On

A concentrated formula containing purifiying salicylcic acid and HerbaRepair that reduce redness in 5 hours and imperfections and marks in 2 days. Its fresh non greasy formula of salicylic acid quickly dries out imperfections instantly. HerbaRepair, known for its regenerating and repairing properties, helps to improve skin, minimize redness and fade out marks.
How to use: Apply directly onto and around imperfections and their marks as soon as they appear. Continue applications until they have cleared. Avoid eye area.

I will be putting these 2 to the test and let you know how it turns out. If these stay true to their promises, I should be seeing improvement in a week's time. Review will be up by then.

Adding the Elegance and Style for a Stunning Evening Gown

Manila, Philippines – February 2012 – As another shock, The MEGA Young Designers Competition (YDC) gave a challenge different from the usual aesthetic of each designer.

A break from the challenges, a relaxing and fun trip to the Manila Ocean Park was awarded to the remaining designers. It was a wonderful experience that had the challengers forget about the impending challenge ahead.



Fashion mentor Angela Alarcon met with the designers after their break to introduce them to a key person who will serve as the guest mentor on their latest challenge.

2006  YDC finalist Veejay Floresca is one of the most sought after designer of this generation. Veejay has already received both local and international awards, proving his passion and talent on his craft.  It was a pleasant reunion as one of the most successful YDC alumna shares his insights and experience to the aspiring new faces of the competition.



The remaining designers were tasked to produce evening gowns. As always, the designers were surprised to hear the new challenges as some of them have little or no experience in creating evening gowns. It was a big deviation from their normal look but they need to wow the judges with their creation.

Two designers will once more be eliminated as only six designers will be given the chance to show a finale collection. As the competition inches closer to the last episode, everyone grows more and more anxious to know the last designer standing.

Who will be the grand winner on the MEGA Young Designers Competition 2012?

Catch Generation MEGA Season 3: MEGA Young Designers Competition every Saturday at 7pm, with replays on Sundays at 10am, only on ETC.

Generation MEGA Season 3: MEGA Young Designers Competition was created for television by the MEGA Publishing Group. For the latest updates, visit www.megastyle.ph. Like MEGA on Facebook <www.facebook.com/megamagazine> or follow MEGA on twitter  < www.twitter.com/mega_magazine>.

Female Hair Loss

MUA In Scrubs' note: The following article is a guest post by Becky Mackay

A thick, glossy head of hair can be a woman’s pride and joy and it seems to be a generalisation that only men are susceptible to the hair loss process. However, hair thinning and loss also commonly affect many women, who may feel less equipped to deal with the change than male sufferers.

Female hair loss can occur for a number of different reasons and finding the cause of your condition could be the first step towards treatment or acceptance of your change.




  • Telogen Effluvium:


This is a stress related condition or a reaction to certain medication, which promotes a hormonal reaction and the shedding of hair from the scalp. Connected to the growth cycle of the hair, telogen effluvium can occur suddenly, but usually gets better naturally over the course of six months.

  • Alopecia Areata:


This hair loss is caused by an autoimmune disease, which causes the white blood cells of your body to attack the hair follicles, causing hair production to slow and the follicles to shrink. This can affect patches of hair or the entire scalp and although the hair stops growing the follicles themselves are dormant rather than dead, meaning hair growth can begin again.  However, research is still inconclusive about how to artificially induce this returned hair growth, so at the moment the sufferer must wait for the hair to naturally begin its growth cycle again.

  • Androgenetic Alopecia:


This is related to the hormone levels within the body and is generally an inherited condition, from either the father or the mother. The genetic information that causes this type of hair loss involves the production of an enzyme called DHT, which if over produced causes the hair follicles to create thinner and thinner hair strands, until they stop production completely. This can affect both men and women, with the hair loss in men affecting the crown and hairline, while in women the loss is noticed at the sides and top of the head. This condition cannot be stopped completely, but certain lotions, including minoxidil can slow the process of balding and thicken the remaining hair. Hair transplants can also be used to increase the thickness of the hair, but are generally considered a last resort and are often more effective in the treatment of male hair loss.

  • Chemotherapy:


This anti-cancer drug is used to destroy cancer cells, but unfortunately it also attacks other cells within the body, including the hair follicles. Chemotherapy doesn’t always cause this reaction and you will know within two to three weeks after you begin your chemotherapy treatment whether you will suffer hair loss. You may also only lose patches of hair, or feel tenderness in your scalp, but losing all of your hair is also a possibility.  However, you can prevent the loss of hair during chemotherapy with the use of a cool cap, to cool the scalp and reduce and in some instances prevent, hair loss. Cold caps can come in the form of a gel filled cap or a cap refrigeration machine, which must be worn some time before and after your chemotherapy begins. However, chemotherapy hair loss isn’t permanent and once you stop receiving the drugs your hair can start growing back again.

  • Pregnancy:


During pregnancy your body produces more oestrogen, which promotes hair loss and hair production. However, once you have given birth the levels of oestrogen drops and your hair goes into the shedding part of the cycle. This usually occurs 3 to 4 months after the birth of your child and 60% of your hair can be lost. However, 6 to 12 months after the initial hair loss your hair will return to normal. You can do certain things to prevent extensive hair loss after pregnancy, which includes using conditioners and shampoos which contain silica and biotin, avoid tight hairstyle such as ponytails and cornrows and add vitamin B, biotin, vitamin C and vitamin E to your diet, although always consult your doctor before making any dietary changes.

Hair loss can be a demoralising situation, but many conditions are only temporary and new solutions to hair loss are being found every day. However, finding support and understanding could be the very best thing you do after hair loss and many groups now exist to help you discover people who can empathise with you and help you come to terms with your situation.

Ways To Send Help For Sendong Victims

I was supposed to post about Sendong 2 days ago, but then I decided the emotional outbursts I earlier wrote wouldn't help much. Instead, I am reposting this compiled information  from Bayanihan Online on where you could channel your help for those affected by the typhoon. As of writing, death toll has risen to 1000.  As you may have heard from the news, Cagayan de Oro (the city where I live) has been the most ravaged by Sendong, along with Iligan City. People we actually know have either died in the flash flood or are now homeless. We're doing everything we can in our little ways to help but a lot of families are still in dire need of assistance.

Local celebrities like Angel Locsin, Anne Curtis, Kris Aquino, and Vice Ganda have spared time in distributing relief goods here Cagayan de Oro 2 days ago. Whether or not it was for media mileage, as some critics have made an issue out of it, bottom line is that they've helped increase awareness on what's going on here. We appreciate their efforts to help out and bring smile to the people in evacuation centers. Local government sectors from other cities like Davao City have pitched in too. The generosity shown by everyone who reached out gave life to what Christmas is all about.  If you want to do your share, here are the ways you can help:
