What's keeping BeaAlonzo busy these days? Well, she does have an upcoming teleserye on ABS-CBN, "A Love to Last", where she will once again be proving her acting mettle, this time alongside Ian Veneracion, Iza Calzado, Tirso Cruz III, Enchong Dee, Julia Barreto, Khalil Ramos, Vin Abrenica, Ronnie Almonte, and Irma Adlawan.

But aside from her on-cam projects, Bea still finds time to pursue her other passion, behind the lens. No, she is not delving into any directorial job just yet, but she does love to get behind the camera particularly when she is shooting pictures.

In fact, her love for photography has made her a perfect brand ambassador for Fujifilm. As someone who values having a reliable camera in capturing memories, Bea is quick to comment that "a camera phone is not enough." Thus, she makes sure she has her Fujifilm mirrorless cameras with her especially when she goes on her solo travel escapades.

Recently, Bea has grown to love Fujifilm's instax cameras and is learning to appreciate scrapbooking as a hobby. "I have started hanging the instax prints on the walls of my room, the rest I keep in a box for future scrapbooking use," she shares.

What delighted Bea more was when Fujifilm launched its Photo Diary, and she was very hands-on in demonstrating how she could easily gather her favorite photos and create a printed album in a few minutes. Developed through Fujifilm's Image Organizing Technology, the Photo Diary makes it possible for anyone to have their own coffeetable-style book instead of the traditional photo album in preserving and sharing their favorite photo collections with friends and family.

Now that Christmas is just around the corner, Bea is also busy with her Christmas gift list. She does have some pretty amazing gift ideas that make use of her love for photography and all the convenient ways to print pictures these days.


Here are some of Bea's do-it-yourself or DIY Christmas gift ideas:

Make a calendar. Use your instax to take snaps of whatever catches your fancy or moments that are fleeting. You can also print them using the instax Share SP-2 printer. The Share SP-2 lets you edit your photos first before you print them. The next thing to do is to attach the instax prints to a store-bought calendar.

Mark it with a bookmark. Books don’t grow old. They function not only as a physical copy of stories with characters, lines, and moments that we carry with us as we go through our lives. If the person you’re thinking of giving a present to is a big Paulo Coelho fan like Bea, why not take a photo of a river (one of the Portuguese writer’s books is entitled “By the River Piedra I Sat Down and Wept”) with your instax and embellish it with the print?

Create a wine tasting journal with instax photos. Wines are never missing at Christmas parties. Start by choosing well-loved wines. Take photos of bottles, labels, etc. with your instax. Attach the photos to pages in a notebook, and write down flavors, aromas, vintage and regions.

Delight with a hanging mobile with instax photos. Liven up the room of a gift recipient with a hanging mobile decorated with instax photos. Add text and embellishments on the photos as you wish, and then clip or tape the photos to strings. Tie the strings to the sticks and hang the completed mobile from the ceiling.
