It feels like just yesterday when I developed a certain addiction for clothing and style. When I realized how big an effect they were to my life.
You were my biggest inspiration, sir. You taught me well.
Your creations and ideas were a great part of my life.

To one of my first [and most] favorite designers,
I thank you deeply, from the bottom of my heart.

It still hasn't sunk in to me that I am actually getting my break in the Showbiz industry and will star in my first show on Primetime. Everything that has been happening to me so far are just so overwhelming and I feel that once it actually hits me, I will just breakdown in tears of genuine joy. I am truly blessed.

Thank you Lord :)

As you have seen on my previous post, I was a part of the 60 years of soap trailer because I have a show and I am finally getting my break! It is just so amazing how God never lets me down. How everybody saw through me. That I am dedicated to getting there and I want this, and I am ready.

The photos are behind-the-scenes shots from out trailer shoot for our new show.

Thank you Paul Refol for doing my make- up! I loved it :)

An Honor and A Blessing it Truly Is

2010-02-01T06:37:00.000-08:00

This time I don't come up with my outfits anymore cus I have awesome stylists to do this for me! Behind the scenes photos from the 60 Years of Soap Opera plug shoot. I am so dearly honored that I became apart of it, specially as a newbie, it is really a blessing to do this shoot with other amazing and beautiful stars like Angelica Panganiban, Shaina Magdayao, Angel Locsin, Maja Salvador and Judy Ann Santos! Woah! What a pleasure it is to be in one trailer with all of them.

I took photos of a dress my mother wants to give away for auction for Ondoy victims.
I scarlett red from New York that's been with my mother for 25 yrs. She gave it to me already, sadly it would need some alterations at the back for me to fit in it. :(
I might not be a good photograph that's why it doesn't really look so wonderful. But trust me-- IT IS!

Mehhhhhhhhh. OK.

2009-11-12T21:28:00.000-08:00

Here's the thing. I don't post regularly because for one, I don't go out and I haven't started work yet. Plus, I am highly addicted to fashion and everything connected to it, but I never apply what I know.

Just recently, I was told that being that I am a part of the industry, I have to look the part 24/7 WHEREVER I may be. Mehhh. I wanna stay in here, so, fine.. If it means not being allowed to be a fashionably knowledgeable fashion victim, OK then. I shall apply, and it shall start right about NOW. ;)

Me Love

lovely nail polish with the exact same colors as the ones in the picture above.
MAC lipsticks in NEON red and orange :)this Chanel travel bag for my toiletries and make- up and other 'everyday necessities' for work
the classic Ray Ban. Don't laugh. Yes, I never bought myself a pair after all these years.
a really awesome hat, specifically a top hat cus that's one style I don't have still. Fyi, I am a hat collector. I collect hats by which are never worn. EVER.

Advanced Happy Holidays you all! I'll see you (with my presents) very soon! :)

"I wish for you on a falling star,
wondering where you are

in the warm sunshine"

--during my birthday last June.
wont say anything abt my outfit because you could hardly recognize it.
Ill just outfit repeat for you guys to see =)

Just rekindling memories that happened earlier in the year. It feels like just recently when it was January 1st of 2009. Very recently, it will be Christmas again and then another year's ahead.

I must say that this year for me is yet again, one of a kind. Wondrous and surprising at the same time. This sums up to... AWESOME

I am hoping 2010 we'll be a doubly amazing year for me and everyone else!

2009-09-30T09:34:00.000-07:00

So, I am on very loose schedule right now, since everybody's still getting back to their normal lives after the recent typhoon that ruined many households here in the Pl (Philippines). Hence, I have no work till Sunday.

Anyway, I was just watching The New Guy on the Telly a while ago, and so I am so in the mood to talk about one of my favorite actresses/ people in Hollywood.photo coutesy of wordpress.com

ZOEY DESCHANEL!!!

I love how she is so bubbly and giddy and funky and cool and her awesome, hilarious fictional bands. One is Suburban Funk, from The New Guy where they performed Play that Funky Music White Boy... (dunno the title!hah)

photo courtesy of theframe.com

and of course Manchausen by Proxy from Yes Man! which I was kind of obsessed with for a time.

photo courtesy of dominorecords.com

Plus how much of a "Zoey noob" could I get that, I recently discovered her REAL band, She & Him, an indie- folk band, which apparently is as good as her acting! I am so relieved! Joy!
In conclusion, she really IS AWESOME. :>

Super Typhoon

2009-09-26T07:31:00.000-07:00

For the first time in months, I did not need to go to work or anything, today. All I had in mind, was to spend my Saturday at home, blogging. Sadly.....
Bagyong ONDOY had to ruin it all!!!entire outfit is from Speedo

I was not only a Fashion victim today, I had to experience being a natural disaster victim who was practically homeless for 5 hours. Luckily, we have friendly neighbors above us who opened their house to us. My family and my neighbors in LGM, who I've been friends with my entire life.
My friends and I all tried to help save other neighbors in the ends of the street, who got stuck in their houses. I literally swam on the road, where you could smell the stench from the canals and see dead dogs floating everywhere. (It was the saddest thing ever.) On a lighter note though, we, including our belongings, were all safe. Plus the fact that my friends (who I consider my family) and I, got to reunite once again and be together.

Update!

2009-09-22T07:17:00.000-07:00

To anyone who cares!

Before I get back to the posting of photos, writing reviews and such, let me update you guys on my life so far.
Yes. I am facing the biggest problem right now, for I have [temporarily] stopped going to school. I was a fashion student in a University here in Manila, but as I was fixing my papers to move, and from there, my life has run very differently and not as I had foreseen. I am back in the Showbiz industry, in which I am very happy and excited about, but it just hurts me that I don't seem to be able to balance my time in it with my love for the world of fashion. Luckily, these two worlds aren't so far away from each other.
SO, my new site will mainly be focused on my life as an actress (and hopefully as a vj). I'm hoping I wouldn't lose readers because of this, because I guarantee this would still be as interesting, if not way more. I promise though, to still let my entries concentrate in its artistic/ stylish side. :-)

I kind of restarted my year through the Star Magic Grand Ball held last August 30, 2009. It served as a self-proclaimed comeback for me, since it was the first Televised event I had attended after 8 months of living the "private" life.

I was thinking of throwing a thanksgiving/ victory party for me, with my closest friends this coming Halloween. I don't know though, if it's possible to happen. But I'm hoping I could find a way to push through with this and just have one night off with my lovely friends.

Theme: Beautiful, Dirty Rich!

There are a whole lot of ideas that have been stuck in my head for months already, some have actually worn out. It's so sad that lately, I've been having no time to blog at all-- Or stay home and rest for that matter. The last time I had the freedom to put my ideas to life and have fun with my friends was 2 months ago. It's sad, yea? But I made a commitment, I'm happy to live with. I will update soon.

Shoe Shennanigan

2009-08-08T12:36:00.000-07:00

So since I haven't really had the chance to go out, dress up and shoot and all, yet, I have been obsessing over the soonest opportunity to get new pairs of shoes.

I most definitely need to reload THE ultimate shoe pile in my room.

[NOTE: These are not in order of my top preferences]

The Balenciaga "Lego" shoe (from a deleted blog entry). Now I know a lot of you might contest being that they don't seem very appealing. Thus, making it look unwearable. But aren't they just epic? They cost over 4,ooo US dollars so they surely are of great quality. Me like

The Balmain stud shoe by Giuseppe Zanotti. There are also another pair by Giuseppe Zanotti that I really love. I was never really a fan of the Gladiator shoe, but his version of the Gladiators are ust so sexy and I cannot wait to get my hands on a pair of them

These Fendi wedged shoes that remind me of Star Trek (from a deleted blog entry),

Nike SB Blazer- optical (though I'd go for the low ones as well since high cuts don't really suit me),

The Marc Jacobs and Fendi Jelly collection which are also so retro. Very 80's. Me love.

The Christian Louboutin Privatita Slingbacks. It also comes in fluorescent green-- also with the signature red soul, which I think is what I would want to buy.

Doc Marten's in hot pink of course (I am just so bummed they don't have a branch here in the Pl.),

And last but not the least, The zebra fur platform pimp shoe with see- through aquarium heel! These are so fly and retro I love them. You tell me if it's a YES or a NO. =)

The Chanel Gun Shoe designed by Laurence Decade. Gun by Karl Lagerfeld. This design was part of the Chanel 2009 Cruise Collection

All pictures courtesy of google =)

That is all for now, I shall add more once new ones have popped in mind.
I promise my blog will fully resurrect very soon!
