Mark Lee: Canon’s Fashion Icon

I first saw Mark Lee in the Canon PhotoSkwela held at SM City Annex a few months ago. Since then, he’s always present in all the Canon PhotoSkwela series together with another Canon Fashion Icon, Margarita Lopez. His full name is Mark Emilio Malantic Lee.

I really find him gorgeous and mysterious. I guess all male models are. It was just recently at the Canon PhotoSkwela held in SM Pampanga that I asked for his name and email address. His handwriting is good and he’s very friendly. I really love his smile.

I found out from his Facebook page that he’s from Lipa City, Batangas. He’s a graduate of De La Salle University (Computer Science Major), played for DLSU Men’s Volleyball Team and worked for SGV & Co. I’m a bit surprised to know though that he’s still single! Isn’t it that good guys usually are taken? He’s probably just picky with girls.

About his career, he’s one of the models that participated in the Philippine Fashion Week. He was also a model for brands like Dockers, BUM, Wrangler, Antonov Vodka, and appeared on magazines like Manual and Cosmo Philippines.

He’s 6’ tall, wears size 10 shoes and is a Cancer. He has a tattoo on his shoulders which appears to be the old Tagalog alphabet Alibata. I would love to know what it means. I’m looking forward to see him again in the next Canon PhotoSkwela or probably the Manila Leg of the Canon PhotoMarathon.

I’m truly delighted that Canon chose him to be their Fashion Icon. Like Canon, Mark Lee is indeed delighting us always.

I sure hope that this DFA satellite office can also handle replacement of lost passports. Hopefully, I’ll pass by this office later on my way to the Road To Live Party event.

Let’s Help Derek Find His New Anna

You probably have seen the video of Derek before. He’s the cute boy who made a video for the girl of his dream named Anna Banana. He made a follow-up video thanking his viewers for the 1,503,826 hits of his video.

Finally, Anna Banana made a reply to Derek’s video but it’s not what we’re expecting it. As much as we wanted to have a happy ending for Derek and Anna Banana, we find her a bit – mean. Watch her reply to Derek:

The mean girl Anna Banana

See? She’s really mean. To think that Derek is cute – choosy pa s’ya? (she’s too picky). To make matters worst for Derek, his dad, mom and little sister saw Anna Banana’s rejection video.

Good thing Derek has a very supportive family (just like most Filipinos) that will do anything to help him overcome his heartache. They actually have an excellent idea – they setup a website to help Derek look for his new Anna.

The strongest connection are indeed at home

So dear readers, if you’re prettier than Anna Banana with a big heart (just like Derek’s family), why not make a video telling Derek why you should be his new Anna? Sounds fan right? Or you probably know a girl that’s perfect for Derek who’s not as mean as Anna Banana. My blog is actually accepting referrals! You may also visit the website that Derek’s family setup for his search for The New Anna at this website: www.dereksnewanna.com

Even telecom company PLDT is also helping Derek with his new quest. They’re actually giving away a Samsung Ultrabook and the chance to be part of the next PLDT myDSL commercial to the lucky girl. Interested (and qualified) girls out there simply need to submit a video entry on why they should be Derek’s new Anna!

I really wanted to help cute boy Derek find the right girl for him. Sounds like a noble thing to do. I hope this blog would be Derek’s way of finding the perfect Anna for him. Start referring your girl friends to Derek!

Ira Giorgetti: Canon User

Aside from Canon Ambassador and blogger David Guison, I also admire another fashion icon and blogger. His name is Ira Giorgetti. He’s a photographer, model and visual artist. He often calls himself a modern vampire. Well, he embodies the Anne Rice description of a vampire – good looking, young, articulate and stylish.

He recently posted a picture of himself using a Canon EOS 5D. I love his picture specially his asset – his eyes! I love the color of his eyes. I hope one of these days, he’ll stumble upon this blog and will provide us with some information about him like his (human) age and coven (location).
