No Worries Food Truck Update

gsmanalo — Thu, 02 May 2013 02:25:35 +0000

As you may or may not know, I'm also part of the No Worries Filipino Vegan Cuisine team. We've been striving to get this food truck off the ground since our fundraiser with Indigogo. Shortly after our campaign, a string of events occurred regarding the food truck build-out. This update is for all of our supporters, compassionate donators and the whole No Worries team. We want to bring YOU up to speed and when you can expect your premiere Filipino Vegan Cuisine providers on the road. Chef Jay-Ar Pugao and I have a candid conversation of the events that transpired.

Real Estate Tour: 30 Miller Place San Francisco, CA

gsmanalo — Tue, 13 Nov 2012 22:20:57 +0000

Million dollar listings realtor Rich Lewetzow contacted me regarding a beautiful Nob Hill condo. I couldn't have anticipated the views from the unit as well as the slick style of the condo itself. It basically sells itself.

Gear list:

5DMKII, Canon 24-70mm, Rokinon 14mm, GlideTrack, 501 Manfrotto head. FCP & MBL.

I really wanted to do some timelapse of the view from the unit but was not prepared with controller. I just uploaded ML on my 5DMKII too and experimented with the HDR function. Not as clean as I'd like so didn't use it in the final product. I'm Mac based so there aren't any easy workflows for it quite yet. Plus, it's my first outing with it. Updates to come hopefully!

Enjoy!

15 second Spot for The Filipino Channel - The Palau'an Bird Call

gsmanalo — Mon, 22 Oct 2012 19:59:15 +0000

The Palau'an Bird Call from Gregory Manalo on Vimeo.

Kularts Presents the World Premiere: Palau’an Bird Call – Huni Ng Tandikan
Master Choreographer: Jay Loyola Music Score: Nick Obando Graphic Designer: Tina Besa Motion Graphics: Gregory Manalo

Commissioned by Kularts, Master Choreographer Jay Loyola creates a powerful new dance work inspired by Francisco Baltazar’s Ibong Adarna, a beloved Philippine epic of a dying ruler cured by the song of the mythical adarna bird. Loyola, an adopted son of the Tagbanua Tribe, creates a fierce contemporary dance story, blending the epic’s core elements of courage and healing, Palawan Island’s own beautiful but illusive tandikan peacock, with aesthetics viscerally anchored in Palawan’s vigorous dance, haunting chants, driving percussion music, and the indigenous belief in nature’s divine mysteries.

A principal dancer and associate choreographer for the prestigious Bayanihan National Folk Dance Company of the Philippines—Loyola has extensively researched, documented and participated in the rituals and dances of the tribal people of Palawan and the Philippines. His vision is to create a theatrical presentation of Palawan rituals and dances for the stage, so that audiences experience not only the original dances, but also understand the story and the context in which the rituals, dances, and music traditionally take place. This new staged production is performed by members of Bay Area dancers from Parangal Dance Company, LIKHA, and Alleluia Panis Dance Theater.

I've never seen homes in this area and I have to say they are quite beautiful and spacious especially for a condo in the city. It was a pleasure working with Beverly and from what I hear they already have an offer in! Congrats Beverly!
