Taking a break from Boracay posts…

Limited Edition Dog Tag (Php400.00)

It looks like every one is in a hyped flurry to get their hands on these Ako Mismo dog tags. I credit it’s popularity to the fact that the demand is greater than the current supply but they really are nifty lil’ things more so when you think about what they stand for. I went ahead and bought these limited edition Ako Mismo dog tags. One for me, my little brother whose incessant nagging about the dog tags has pushed me to the brink of insanity, another as a gift for my kuya who literally wears his national pride on his sleeves, and 2 more on impulse. I’m gonna keep one in mint condition as a memorabilia of  what I hope is the beginning of a movement that unifies the Filipino people in taking an active role in affecting positive changes for our country.

Ordinary Dog Tag (Php40.00)

Since the profit of the purchase goes to charity it wasn’t a bad way to spend money. As you have probably noticed in the pictures, the limited edition dog tags are better and will last longer than the ordinary ones and since I’ve found myself with an extra dog tag I’m going to give it away. Just post a comment and tell me what your Ako Mismo pledge is. Best Answer wins!!!

I’m probably the only person I know who has never been to Boracay, so when the opportunity to visit this highly praised tourist destination made it’s way to my door step… well,  lets just say it didn’t have to knock.

I took this on our first day there, one of my favorite takes but still this picture does no justice.

Our arrival at Boracay was a gloomy morning, dark clouds partly filled the sky and I thought for sure that was going to rain. Things started to turn around by the time we got to the hotel though, the sun began to shine it’s savagely hot rays and Boracay once again became the island paradise that everyone says it to be.

Several months back I was browsing the web like I usually do when nothing else is worth doing and I chanced upon an article that talks about Forever 21’s venture into plus sizes. I found it curious..

It seemed strange that they dared to taint the image they’ve painted for their name. With the way they’ve been advertised who wouldn’t have it branded in their brains that Forever 21 is a clothing line for petite women and you know how size and social status go hand in had these days.  I for one try to steer away from the influence of stereo types or in this particular instance, capitalist commercialism, pardon me if I come off as a bit hypocritical but even those who recognize and acknowledge their effects can find themselves unable to resist. Getting on with my original thought, I was so off. No changes were made in the clothing line, they created a whole other brand for plus sized clothes called Faith 21 and I may be going out on a limb by saying that it was done so as not to stigmatize their reflection to the younger, hip-er consumers whose weight is proportionate to their height.. you know what I mean.

As a marketing strategy its the most cost-effective move to make. They maintain their preferred pose for the public hence preserving the general notion -Forever 21 is still for the young, hip, and socially acceptable fashionistas, but wait! If your body mass index isn’t in THE desirable range they still have something for you over at Faith21, ergo increasing profits by tapping into a previously overlooked market with out disrupting established business. I admit that there may be a chance that I’m reading too far into this whole thing but its OK because this proves that my brain still functions.

With that said, Faith 21 was launched May of this year, available only at selected branches in the US. It really is hard to find plus sized clothing that don’t make you look frumpy or like you have 5 kids at home waiting for their momma, so aside from hating the rationale behind the separate “labels” and the fact that they aren’t available internationally, I will be fair enough to admit that I am digging the look.

Slinky V in Berardi Helless Boots

It was back in 2008 that Victoria Beckham defied gravity by wearing Heel-less boots created by notable fashion designer Antonio Berardi. Victoria got tired of teetering and tottering in sky high heels so she wanted to teeter totter in heelless one’s (hahahahaha!)

Recently, at the Nina Ricci show during Paris fashion week,models were subjected to wearing shoes of similar concept except these had heels.. they just didn’t touch the floor. So why the heck do they have them there for? My guess is as good as yours. How the models managed to end the show with out any of them toppling over, I do not know… What I do know is these shoes are ridiculous.

I was chatting online with an old friend of mine when she says, “Have you seen the new Viao lifestyle pc? I rarely fall in lust (and love) with gadgets and this really is a must have.”

As any intrigued human would.. I googled it and seconds later found myself drooling. OKthat’s too much of an exaggeration, I was actually ogling, it made me wish I can return the new laptop my dad just gave me so I can ask for a Viao P series instead. Just like my friend I too am not the type to trip over myself with excitement over the latest gadgets but ladies this is truly love at first sight.

The Sony Viao P series has been described as beautiful, sleek, elegant, and useful; there’s no convincing needed there. The ultra mini note book measures 9.65″(W) x 0.78″(H) x 4.72″(D) and weighs at an amazing 1.4 lbs with a standard battery.It features a 8.0″ Screen with 31600 x 768 Resolution, 60GB HDD available or up to 128GB SSD and 2GB DDR2 SDRAM.

Currently the Viao P series in only available for pre-order at sonystyle.com. I think it’s just perfect for women with it’s stylish aesthetic features and it’s as portable as notebooks can get. There’s still enough time left till Valentine’s day and there nothing like the Viao P series in red to say I love you.

Summer is a commin’ and everyone will be a clubbin’! When clubbing, the first thing that comes to a girls mind is “What do I wear?!” *gasps*

This is a  somewhat understandable reaction cuz no one wants to be the frumpy girl of the night, so while browsing through the world wide web in search of my next favorite ensemble, I stumbled upon a website that specializes in sexy clubwear . They have mini skirts, micro mini skirts, sexy fitting tops, skimpy outfits, mini and cut out dresses which by the way is on the hot list for spring and summer fashion trends. 

Some would say that a woman must be conservative in her choice of clothing,  be well mannered, and proper to be considered a lady but we all need a day off to let loose and have fun. So add steam to the scene and be the hot little thing all the guys are want to meet. You’ll find all your skimpy clubbing wear here, after all what are sexy timeswith out flirty hither come outfits to set the guys into a testosterone fueled frenzy. *chuckles*

So if you’ve got the god given gift of a firm bod and a sexy silhouette.. all I can say is FLAUNT it!

Throughout the just-concluded US presidential campaign, Michelle Obama, spouse of president-elect Barack Obama, garnered rave reviews from fashion critics and viewers alike for her discerning mix of high and low fashion, even prompting comparisons with another stylish lady - Jacqueline Kennedy Onassis. A dress she wore guesting on The View made such an impression that it sold out on the designer’s website a few days after.

I think her husband deserves sartorial praise of his own. He dazzled not only with his eloquent speeches but also with the way he wore his suits with aplomb. For his January 20 presidential inauguration one designer was quoted as saying that Barack is the first president in ages that has the body and the bearing to carry a suit well.

A photo taken on his recent family vacation in Hawaii proves that even shirtless, the president-elect is one hot Obama.

OOOhhhBama!

1. A stain in the mind

You shit. You crowd out my own thoughts. Memories, sticky little suckers. Tell me, can I wash out the dirt in my mind? can I wring out my brain and hang it up to dry? No. It’s never gonna be like new. I’ve got a stain in my mind. Fuck you

    2. Deliverance

Nothing but a myth. Sorry

    3. Synchronicity

Who lost. Who won. No such synchronicity here. Get past your modernist delusions, there;re no more simple binary oppositions. In the continuum of space and time. Two, mayhaps even three or more, can meet and flirt and fuck and  share a smoke. No need to judge. For god’s sake don’t meta analyze! There are no losers, only players in a game with no stakes
