So, it’s been months and I guess I owe my readers an apology for my wavered discipline. I haven’t been blogging in a while because I’m part of this:
Anyways, it’s been a long time since I gave away something, so let me give you all something to be excited about (even if it’s just something small). Since my blog has partnered with FWD, I will be giving away some...

Again, late as ever, here I am with my Top 12 shots for 2012. I can’t post pictures about our new year celebration for reasons I cannot disclose, but let me make up with these :) Enjoy! These are not arranged in any particular order :)
Took this during one of our camps. It was the first time I caught somebody candid on cam laughing with this type of framing following the rule of thirds...

Well, I figured since I am finishing my work early again today and I now have more time to blog, I’ll blog about Christmas first. (I can’t post new year yet since I’m on Social media except blog and TV fasting). It was a great day. Had two parties from both sides. First was for my mom’s side where we had lunch at Ma. Christina in Alabang, the...

Last Tuesday, December 11, I was invited to attend MEGA Magazine’s Privé Style series featuring the upcoming collection of SM Ladies and SM Accessories… Twas a fun night! Wasn’t actually planning on going, but then everything fell right into place and my friends called me up and I had 10 minutes of wardrobe change and zero HMU hahaha. Anyways… Enjoy the photos.

Last November 29, 2012, I was given a rare opportunity to cross out four of the things in my bucket list which are:
Participate in trying to break a world record.
Break a world record.
Model on the runway for an official fashion show.
Model on the runway with celebrities.
With that being said, Thank you AVA, Glorietta, Bambu, Globe Tatoo for making this all possible for me. Though...

Okay. So, it’s my first photo shoot ever. Got to use my Nifty Fifty too so that’s awesome! A friend and I were volunteers for Sunday worship and he started doing this smile and he asked if we could have an insidious peg shoot. I said yes and here are the results! I’m happy! Tell me what you guys think :)

My Style Statement from The Ramp Crossings
Many times people look for fashion and say, “Well, this sucks”. It”s either I have no size, nothing unique enough or something too unique. Where do I get the right stuff with the right price in the right and proper context of modern and class?
Still searching? I’m assuming you still are because if you’re not, then you wouldn’t still be reading now, would...

Last October 9, 2012, I had the privilege of attending an event by my glossy favorite MEGA Magazine for their collaboration with my second home, SM Megamall. I was actually apprehensive at first because I had work that day. I get off, usually, at 5:00 and the event was to start at 6:00 and anyone who commutes from Makati to Ortigas know how Edsa can screw you during rush hour! To cut the long...

Note: There will be lots of complaints during this post, but also lots of “hooray” moments. I learned as a blogger that although I do prefer seeing the good and writing about the good, I should also right the bad parts of something if necessary. It’s part of being honest to my readers. With that being said, I always want to be part of the solutions rather than the problem. So, I will give my...

Here’s why I think Cybercrime law limits our freedom of expression: First, it does protect us from forms of harassment, but in itself, we are being harassed by the law because we cannot express something, even if it’s good or true or tactful, for the reason that if there is even slight misinterpretation, we can actually get jailed for it. Second, can you imagine courtrooms after...

We live in a world of instants or at least that’s what the majority agrees to. I am not a fan of majorities because even if they are sometimes wrong, they divide out the right. In this case though, I believe what they’re saying is true.

As an aspiring visionary, I require myself constantly to scratch beneath the surface of the ice and find the drench coldness of the truth underneath....

Okay. I know this is a bit late, but I just had to do a review!
This first set of garments from the collection, I didn’t really like that much. It’s too simple for the taste that THE Alexander McQueen left us with as his legacy. He had a knack for putting on a hinge of attractive abomination to his clothes that never grew lax. He was a man that even with subtlety left us in states...

Okay. So lately I’ve been talking to my dad about my future and stuff since I plan on resigning within a year’s time. I’ve been telling him that many things have been demanding many things from me and it’s stressing me out… what he said next wasn’t new, but it hit me then. He told me “Can you afford it?” He said those four words with such directness that it hit my intellect bull’s...

Penshoppe FanCon 2012
Penshoppe has been no stranger to international endorsers… in fact, I think it’s safe to say that it pioneered HOLLYWOOD when it got Mandy Moore back in 2003. Since then, I have to say, I fell in love with the brand having my jeans back then being Penshoppe and only Penshoppe. What I like about the brand is that it’s easily wearable without the fuss of...

Loooong Weekend
All right. What has been happening so far? Unfortunately and fortunately, a lot. I finally had rest for the first long weekend I’ve had in almost 8 months of my employment! Imagine that! Well, if I blab about it, I’d be talking non-stop. So, let me just give a summary of all the things that went down and you can just enjoy the pictures :)
First off!!! We had decided to have a last...

The Self-Indulgent Blogger
The self-indulgent blogger is a whore, he seeks to satisfy his lust of self-affirmation and virtual acceptance by bombarding the self with greed and pride instead of passion and connection.
I came across this post from IFB (http://heartifb.com/2012/07/30/the-b-word-is-blogger-a-bad-word/) and it gives us an interesting perspective of the word “Blogger”. Is it good, is it bad, is...

Anyone… and I mean anyone who’s been following my blog would know that I’m crazy obsessed with shoes. Boots, dress shoes, sports shoes, sneakers, so you would imagine my gaggable moment when my mouth just dropped when @americaneagleph tweeted that I was one of their winners for a gift certificate and I didn’t even have to do anything to win it! This has already happened twice, the other with...

Okay. So, this is the latest post as late can get! Well, a lot of things have been happening and I’ve been soooo away from my computer at times. If I were to be in front of one, I’d probably be working and stuff like that or updating. I’m actually going insane because I’ve been so disconnected from the world… I can’t even update my playlist.

This site is ANTI-SOPA
I took it upon myself to send out a message to the world about the dangers of SOPA and PIPA. Many sites, major and minor alike, including Wikipedia, 9gag, Google, Youtube, Yahoo and others have opposed this. For good reasons, I agree with them. The odds of oppression more than suppression screams as an outcry of abuse towards the artist.

The SOPA and PIPA Acts supposedly aims to...

Dear Smart,

I thought that If I would be even more patient with you that you would give me what I want, faster than what I had expected, but you broke my heart. It has been 3 weeks...
