Life's a Beach

 As they say Lyf's a beach and what better way to enjoy it is to have fun and relax thus last Friday, after our sumptuous lunch, I heed down to the public beach of  Abu-Dhabi . Upon reaching the beach I saw what I am seeking for! hahahah sea of men all over the beach and showing their glorious bodies. Bongga but really my intention there is to breathe some fresh air plus of course the added bonus of vitamens! Indeed totally awesome and beautiful!Anyways, after all this is life! lets enjoy it to the fullest! ( Photos courtesy of witsandnuts.com, panoramio.com and sas.ae).

BOLD PRINTED SHIRT- MY FAVE

Ever since I have this shirt which I bought from Forever 21(Men) I always wear it either weekly or during occasion. I find it so fashionable that even my blog friend Dylan a.k.a  jogels blog blog about it because of its similar style with New York Project Runway Designers . As in I really had a good laugh comparing me to that and somehow its flattering - thanks jogels. But really I luv any kind of bold printed shirts. For me its very expressive and eye catching. And anyone wearing this kind of shirt somehow have something to express either for fashion, arts, self-vanity or just plain nothing.

Pinoy Supah Models in Greater Heights - MABUHAY!

2010 is an International Modeling opportunity for Filipinos. Every where from Paris-Milan-London-NewYork Fashion Designers like Marc Jacobs, Givenchy, Gucci, Rad Hourani or Dianne Von unveiled their collections  for their spring/summer or fall 2010 and any unique model like pinoy has the opportunity to be booked or not or experience sheer delight of runway fame. 

Anyways, after browsing all the independent fashion blogs and fashion websites, I got to know this two pinoy models who successfully penetrated the competitive world of Fashion.

Monique Lhullier Fall 2010: NINDOT as in Impressive!

Monique Lhullier NYF Fall 2010 were so impressive. The Queen of Red Carpet rocks! Every fashion Editor's review tagged it as Fierce or well crafted but not safe. And as they said some has copycat pieces that reminded of Chanel suits. Whatever! but the thing is it may look like Chanel but the piece still has its own Monique Lhullier's touch. Well as a Pinoy and part Cebuano(char!) I really take pride of what shes doing. Sad to say she did not booked one Pinay model to take part and model her collection, I guess its about the image that shes portraying because I have heard it here in UAE that her wedding gowns etc are well-received and patronized by Royalties in  the Middle East and in Europe. Anyhow, heres my favorite pieces from her collection(photo courtesy of  style.com).

Into the limelight!

www.dubizzle.com

Every party scene here in Dubai or Abu-Dhabi, there's always their version of Paparazzi! I have a share of this limelight way way back before when Trilogy was a hit party venue but now nothing as in no more trilogy and then currently,  Mitzi invited me to cum and celebrate her Birthday last FEb 12 in Dubai and so we decided to go to 2 OCEANS Club Dubai where the latest of glitz and glamour of Dubaians are here. They flocked, gathered and party.

And now I am sharing to you my public mileage in some Dubai party sites. Well I am no diva or having a tag price to my head but at least I enjoy life and now after a long hiatus from the party scene etc I'm back to be scene, heard and party!

I just need to wish her a happy vonggatic trip to Viva Italia MILANO.Si! senor! I am so happy for her shes conquering now the Europa and ganda do not 4get my PRADA charring penecitos chi!! Via con Dios gnda!

Jinx or What!?

I got a message from a dear friend saying " she will resign today coz she got a big fat offer". And so I sigh! envy! happy for her. I dunno why oh why, to think my friend is quite okey and the last time I met her just this past few weeks, she was no plan or even an attempt to move or find a job. Lucky for her, her former flatmate called her and ask her to apply for a certain company-they are really looking for a smart savvy admin staff and voila she got the job with a 5 digits figure. Bongga!

And that I told her why U not me (joke)! You know what! I have been looking, searching, finding  for that elusive job and that elusive figure. BUt sad 2 say no one even bother to offer me that thing!! and so I think, that maybe I was being Jinx or what!!!I feel bored, empty with my current work actually but atleast I still have my work (Thanx God for that)! because if I calculated it all, I think I had applied around 100 companies to date and nothings happened. Though there were few who called me but to my dismay their offering me a menial rate not even higher than what I am receiving now. LOL!. Come to think of it, do i have to exchange my job for the same rate with same work but in a different company/environment/people that I need to adjust & conform again?. Of course Not! As mader J commented no ones died in BOredom/Emptiness etc.  Things would gonna be okey  and soon they will come to u as what my lucky friend told me(crossing fingers)I hope ...hope ....hope not centeno(K) but cigarette(time for it)

WOMEN SPRING/SUMMER 2010 PIECES: I ADORE!

HERES MY LUV IT -WERQ IT SPRING/SUMMER 2010 PIECES FOR WOMEN! FEROSHOS! GLAMOROUS! ETCHUS! SPRING FOR ME IS SOMETHING FLOWERY/SNAKEY OR NATURELY PRINTS!

Mens Spring 2010: FashionPiece(s) I heart!

I am not an Editor or even have the authority to review or write about fashion but because I luv Fashion and I have an eye for a queer guy  thus, heres my fave(s) for Mens Spring 2010:

Mediocracy or Not!

Sigh! Every time some one died either a relative/brother/sister/or even 3rd/4th degree affinity of a Filipino staff in our company- expect that somebody(a pinay) will come to any staff and ask for any donation whatsoever! As in everytime! Well, there is really no problem with that but its just that I happened to overheard from another nationality saying that why Filipinos are doing that every now and then. Thus, I am thinking if that is a mediocre thing to do or not. After getting ideas from my friends here and from my colleagues who are non-filipinos, I came to realized that we should stop this because it is so demeaning to know that we are beggars here or something. Well, for me its okey asking to close friends or townmates esp. if they know the dead person but we are just colleagues of a company and you are tying to come to every desk asking for it and showing a pitiful face with matching blah blah blah you know! It is really frustrating and sometimes its like we have a filipino syndicate thing here that everytime there is a demise, we are doing it!

Thats why just today, one Pinoy Engineer told me that the wife of Mr So and So (a filipino) is died in the phils and that we need to do something blah blah and to my retort "that Sir, if you do not mind it is not my job to do that mediocracy thing because one thing for sure Mr. So and So they did not even bother to ask for help. I think just being there to emphatize and sympathize with him is enough but if you are willing to do that thing you can start doing the rounds to every staff here asking for every penny". I will never do that! Because one thing I never divulge except to my friends and family that something or someone is died in my family. For me its a personal thing not unless if I come to ask for help and beg.  Thus, I am thinking to openly inform those Admin Staff that they should not do it unless the bereaved family or staff is asking for financial help in written or so but for sure they will debunk my idea because for them its one way to help and show(s) their support as a colleague and as a Filipino countrymen or kababayan. Well anyway whatever!

Wanted: Challenge

I will admit now, my work is really boring. I need something that is challenging or even a little bit pressure. I start my day twitting and then if something came up like pile of documents or something I just put it aside because If I do it right away, I have nothing to do for the rest of the week. So I'll make sure that until thursday which is our last day, I still have something to do and work on.

But day by day or as time goes by, I feel like things are not going smooth or I mean its getting more boring! well, probably because I do not have friends also in the work. One of my friends already left and got a better and well-paid job. Anyways, I am still trying to sort out things and even check & observe the market becoz its still some kind of down and slow because now a days,  no company gives a bigger and better salary . I can wait for the right oppurtunity! And Once it will knock on my door, I'll grab it riteway!

To go or not to go!

My friend Mitchi is bugging me again to travel with her. Its because its her birthday this coming FeB! And as per our plan we decided to travel this time to Luxor, Egypt. As we agreed, Once we can book with in our budget(hotel and ticket) then go go go ever!

But as I think and rationalize about it, Its not a practical to go this time because I have a plan trip ahead this coming May- My Backpacking Asian Adventure with my Singapura Friends. Guvah an Budget!(as we express it in our lingo). Well I am hoping and crossing my fingers that she can get me much lesser than our budget. Because with that, I can meet both ends of my Travel Budget for my 1st/2nd quarter travel trips. But really, Luxor is always in my travel lists for this year because as an open museum city, U can see everything from their big statues of pharaohs to there gothic inspired columns or I mean the remnants of the past of their Gods and Goddesses is really out in the open field. It is not enclosed like any other countries. The vast of their ancient culture and civilization is wide open and every one is invited to explore and experience. 2 GO or Not 2 GO? well see come this February!

My 2010 fashion finds

Well, well after I wrote about my churva 2009 lookbook, I just realized of coming up also of an idea of writing about what's the fashion for 2010!or A Fashion-must-haves that we need to look forward for this year's spring, summer or fall! And here's my lists now na:

2010 A New Beginning

For me 2010 would be a better and creative life for me hahahaha and that as per from an Astrologer. Well, I wish and hope that this year would gonna be a good year. But anyways, 2010 for me would be a resolution for a new beginning to spend less, save more and enjoy life as it is.

For quite sometimes this has nothing been realized but I guess this time it would be materialize little by little. Because drastic action I guess will just be vanished into thin air. Starting it in a little way would be a good start for this 2010.

1. Firstly, I would like to stop using plastics ever and instead use organic or biodegradable thing. Lets say credit cards/plastic bags etc, instead use paper bags and cash which is obviously made of paper.

2. Minimize excessive partying because I am not getting any younger anymore instead more into watching movies or dining and spend more talking.

3. Enjoy life do not mind the future but of course save for the rainy days. LIfe is a serendipity sometimes you will never know that people who are conscious enough with their heath etc etc are more prone into having cancers/etc....so enjoy life do not take drugs but just enjoy.

4. And the last but not the least Work in accordance to your job description/contract and do not push yourself because sometimes nothing or you cannot reap sometimes what you sow!

Thats all and I hope we all have a better life ahead this 2010
