Guess what I did two weekends ago? Endured a seven-hour ride to La Union up north. We arrived at midnight and even if it was pitch black, the sound of waves was unmistakable. I woke up and saw the waves.

Met with half-Aussie half-Filipino world-champion surfer Luke Landrigan at the San Juan Surf Resort in San Juan, La Union.

The story comes out in Entrepreneur’s March issue. Damn, a few more days and February is over. That was fast.

There was one night at work where we ended at around 11 at night from a studio shoot in the freezing cold Summit Studios. While the adjacent studio was blaring with Beyonce, Rihanna, and T-Pain for Cospomolitan’s October cover shoot with a lady I would describe as “the one with ginormous legs,” the photographer, art director, and myself were silently crouched over a small plastic platform surrounded by lights, taking pictures of a phone and a book. I was freezing and feeling pangs of hunger, and the only thing I had in my bag was bottled water and a banana I had put there before leaving for work in the morning.

This one’s for Mac World’s cover. I wish our studio looks like theirs.
