“Come play with me.”
Thus, the title of the photo shoot of Melvin with photographer Caloi. I discovered him thru that thread of comment-bogged photos.
This young-looking bachelor was one of the exoduses of Diaspora. He has ventured his luck in Singapore and used to have a modeling agency there. When his contract ended, he decided to come back and pursue modeling career while looking for a permanent job that he could land on.
I remember the day when I gasped because I was dumb shocked with his revelation of his age. He laughed and exclaimed that he is “often mistaken to be on [his] early 20’s.”
He was born in Tarlac on the 20th of July.
He claims to be simple yet I find him extraordinary. He graduated cum laude for two majors that he finished. He used to be a marketing executive, and tutor for Koreans.
He admitted that he has had a lot of naughty things done on his bed (hmmmmm how interesting!
I kept on laughing when he told me that he accidentally ate a glue mistakenly as toothpaste.
I asked him if what makes him happy. Then he stressed “[I’m] quite sentimental but [what makes me happy are:] the persons whom I love, fulfilling my goals, and of course money (laughs).”
In contrary, I asked him what makes him sad. He answered back “Missing someone, bored and having no money (laughs).”
He has done theater plays, ramp modeling, and castings in short films, and modeling in photography and print.
Melvin is a natural charmer who is ignorant that he is. I once commented on one of his perfect shots “I like the eyes. I like the nose. I like the lips. I like the goatee. . . I like the sexiness beneath the clothes.” Then he responded “Thanks a lot. I know I'm not that handsome but a comment like the one’s you gave creates confidence in me to continue my love for photography. Sincerely, thanks a lot.”
He is one hottilicious guy who exudes a plethora to offer, even without an execution of effort.
