Great News..

Yesterday ( Thursday) I spoke to my wife in the Philippines.
She wants to come back to Thailand and see me again.
Both know we cant be without eachother and have decided work things out whatever the problem is.
Our love is too SPECIAL and STRONG to let go,just like that...
Im so happy for these news,and cant wait to see her again tonight ;)
Sorry If I got you guys worried and confused there for a while. But relationships are hard and not everyone is professional in the subject.
As long as people want to learn and do things better. We should always support that kind of belief. After all, it starts with your own belief's.
So this year wont finish bad after all ;)
Hope you will have faboulous time on New year and a great start for the next Year.
Much love
Patrick

Ps:

"Lucky' I loved your idea for the calender shoot.Thanks man.....
Same idea almost what French photographer Ludovic wanted.
Will take your idea under consideration and discuss it with Ludovic.
Keep you posted.
Patrick

For my ribbfit.blogspot.com I will update it shortley.

Announcement !

Now' YOU ' have the possibility to be part of creating my Personal Calender for 2007.
In January i will be creating my own personal calender that you will be able to order from my website. I know its a bit late,but better late then never ;)
My plan for the calender was going to be nude,black and white photographie. But since I have a very big Shampoo( Clinic Clear ) Tv-commercial for Asia pacific and maybe worldwide early January next year. Im not sure if the client would like that. So know im re-thinking the concept for my Calender.
Last week I had a meting with a great photographer from france(Ludovic Cazeba) www.cazeba.com
His work reminds me about David Lachapelle. Very Fashion and sureal. So his idea for the shoot was to create 12 different creative stories. With all these ideas in my head Im stuck in between of how it will look like.
I would like to ask YOU as my reader. Do YOU have any idea that would fit for my calender. All idea's will be taken under cosideration and will be very appreciated.
Please email or post it here under comments
Much love
Your supermodel.
Patrick ;)

Tuesday night out

Christmas Dinner with my modeling agency(Modemodels Bangkok).
dinner with the agency was great. had a fabulous time throughout the hole night. Afterwards,I ended up partying the night away at a ngithspot called"Flick"..
At the dinner we talked about how the market has changed alot in Thailand the last 3 years. There are many new smaller agencies opening up and undercutting the market by selling new beginner models for cheaper price. From my point of view. You also get what you bargain for ;)
So I gave the agency)Modemodels) my perspective on how my agency in Mumbai(India) going to be.
Currently the owner of modemodels havent spend much time for the agency(Modemodels,as he is involved with many other business ventures in Thailand.
And thats like having a ship without a captain.
The bookers at modemodels have been in the industry for very long time and knows the business well.
But still they need that extra guidance a leader only can give.
I really hope the owner is coming back soon,I know he will.
And I will be there to support them ;)
If you want to check their website. www.modemgt.com They are great.....

ps I wasent able to take any pictures or interviews yesterday. I found out in the taxi that the phone had ran out of battery,grrrrr....
But my friend (Nathan) from Syndey just recent emailed me some pictures from the Christmas night.
I look a bit trash here. But I guess thats ok as well,hee ;)

Exclusive: PETA AD CAMPAIGN WORLDWIDE

People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA), with more than a million members and supporters, is the largest animal rights organization in the world. Founded in 1980, PETA is dedicated to establishing and protecting the rights of all animals. PETA operates under the simple principle that animals are not ours to eat, wear, experiment on, or use for entertainment.

PETA focuses its attention on the four areas in which the largest numbers of animals suffer the most intensely for the longest periods of time: on factory farms, in laboratories, in the clothing trade, and in the entertainment industry. We also work on a variety of other issues, including the cruel killing of beavers, birds and other "pests," and the abuse of backyard dogs.

PETA works through public education, cruelty investigations, research, animal rescue, legislation, special events, celebrity involvement, and protest campaigns.

Me with old friend,Model Aaron from Canada.



Model talk with models Daniel and Sean.


Struting my stuff for the camera. Check out how i'm working the camera. A good tip if you want to achive more success as model. Practice and practice facial expressions and Body laungage at any time given. Visualize in your head,how the client would like his shoot to look like at the end.
This give me flashback about a model who I spoke with 2 years ago. He told me" I dont like working here in Thailand and Asia,the budgets are so low etc Bla bla bla".. I rather go back to New York and make one job a week,and make big money". Yes,he is so right. But he will be limited in what to give to the camera. Since lack of experience... Infact the money are greater in America. Depending on how you WORK IT !
I told him...I rather be here in Asia,doing jobs everyday'MAYBE' making a bit less. But what I learn is something you cant buy with money. That is'Experience". And this'Ex[perience' is to a great Value if you want to become a Topmodel and make those really BIG MONEY IN AMERICA. The key to success is not in thinking money. Think Experience first. My dad always use to tell me that. Patrick remember,always be in the best place where you get the best practice and then later the money will follow. I love my dad for telling me that.
Remember when working the modeling scene. Its important to know how to Act. This is really one of the most important key factors,mixed with good looks and great personality. Find your formula that works for you,and stay true to it. It cant go wrong ;)



Ps: I didnt get the Alcohol Print job for India with Studio Magenta Thailand.
