MCqueen's Final Pieces of ART

If ever I have the Top 5 lists of who amongst the Best Designers in the world, It has to be one of them - is Mr. Lee Mcqueen also known as as ALEXANDER MCQUEEN. For me, he is the most daring, fearless designer. The fact that every collections/shows he unveiled/created prior to his death were all dramatic, pure inspiration, and quite different from the rest of the monotonous designs.

I for one always believe in pure and raw talent which Mr. MCqueen proved and showed to the world that he has one. Well, given the fact that he came from a humble beginning and probably sheer determination, I believed that made him to be the best and unique in his craft.

This week I read/saw about his last collection which I am profoundly love it and shocked in disbelief that OMG his creations are like Paintings or Works of Art and that I foresee in 20 years time this will be the most expensive pieces to be auctioned at Christies(kidding aside) but probably it will! What else can I say but his final collection is pure elegance and royalty! (photos courtesy of Style.com)

Last Night I was thrilled to watch the awards night especially the Hollywood Stars who came down just for the event. Because of some glitches with our cable, I had to fix something but unfortunately I did not able to to do it so I surrendered. Upon waiting for my brother to come home and fix it, gosh, I slept and to my disappointment, I just watched the last part of the show which was funny because I thought the trophy decorating the stage was a sculpted one but to my delight when Kevin Spacey bid goodbye and touched him - he was kicking alive I mean a human(for that 3 hours show as in he did that mimicking the trophy) Watta job.  Anyway, here's the link of the list of  the winners/recipient for that prestigious award.

Santigold - Lights Out!

I have been a fan of this "lights out' fame group Santigold since last October 2009 when I heard their songs from one fashion blogger here in www.  Suddenly today, I chance upon 2 see  this pic (courtesy of  Rafe - of the famous Rafe bag - Thanks for d photo!) thus, I instantly blog them in the hope that my friends and readers will come to know and eventually like them too.
Promise! their music is superb, very relax and quite a beat that once you dance with the rythm you can't stop. Chos! but really I so adore them especially the songs "lights out", "Creator" and the "L.E.S artiste".
But my very fave is Lights Out especially the remix. OMG! So fashion that I dance with catwalking (hahaha). For me, they really  rocks!!!!

2010 World Sport Laureus Award in Abudhabi

I can't wait to see Hollywood Celebs, Famous Sports Stars, VIPs etc to come to Abu-Dhabi for this prestigious awards night which is considered to be an Oscars for sports. Aside from F1 Formula, finally come this March 10, 2010 as in tommorow, the world will come to know that there is a city called Abu-Dhabi who can able to host/stage major international event(s) such like this.
I would like to believe that one day one Filipino athlete can grab this elusive recognition.

Good luck Abu-Dhabi let the world know we can compete to any major cities around the world by hosting this event.

I hope and pray Roger Federer will make it to win for World's Sportsman of the year award. To check other nominees & categories visit the Site.

WeEk End @ SheRaton and the WaKE sTocK!

Even though the weather was not cooperating but still we have lots of fun. Its really good to be pampered in a 5 Star hotel because the amenities are world class. My Dubailandia friends arrived here in AUH @ around 3pm last friday - as usual its not what we agreed but because they are single ladies of course you will expect delay.

So after checking in, we checked the hotels amenities and of course we compared the hotel from the other hotels we stayed before. Again, its a competitive check between big brands like Sheraton, Rotana or Hilton. Well, weather we like it or not a Hotel is a hotel . Then late afternoon, we heed down to the WAKESTOCK festival - the event and the crowd was quite festive but the weather was so bad that after we went coffee, we straight ahead to go to our hotel. We actually plan that night to watch Maximo Park but sad to say it was really cold & chilling!so we just stayed in the room and enjoy every minute of it. Suddenly, we cannot stop our happy feet moving thus, we decided to went to the hotel's club called ZENITH and danced till the night away. Hahaha! so many boys so little time as in!

And the next day, we were in the mood for sunbath, swimming and cruise till we checked out. Watta week end indeed plus the sumptous lunch that Ate Jay prepared!WoW! Till next get away Bing, Bols, Mesh, Vonang and Charity!!!(Photo courtesy of Bols and Charity-shukran!)

Dubai's embattled Image

I am so sad the fact that Dubai has been put down endlessly. It so frustrating to know that Dubai has quite a lot of tragedies. From the the property crisis, to lift problem of the worlds tallest building Burj Khalifa and just to date, the Dubai Mall Aquarium leakage. OMG that aquarium is quite so high that eventually if it will leak  it will be a total flood.

I just wish Dubai will eventually free from all bad issues and that the government should over see to double check and fix things that will create problem or bad publicity to them. Anyways, all wounds heal so I hope and pray Dubai will overcome all these. Inshallah!!

Life in Abu-Dhabi

For almost seven years now in this city, Life here is incomparable. Abu-dhabi for me transcends its beauty  from being a quiet, sleeping city to now being touted as one of the richest city in the world and a roaring one. It has a tremendous plan of development in order to boast business, economy and tourism. The city itself is trying to follow competitive cities like Tokyo, Paris and New York  which I think stands out from the rest of the world.

As per wikipedia, the City is a diverse and multicultural. And that one can easily adopt especially if his or her nationality is more dense.  But what I love most of my Abu-Dhabi is its basically because of its unpopulated and what ever status of your life here either you are a CEO or a laborer you can be a neighbor because there is no especial surburb for rich not unless you are a local here. Well, my life  here is so simple yet so quality. Normally, during weekdays of course its work time baby but after work, if you feel like jogging, Cornice(a long stretch park fronting the beach) is just a few blocks away. Its one way also of appreciating the government's effort of making Abu-dhabi environment green.  During winter or cold period, walking  is the name of the game. Well obviously because the heart of the city is so small and its like a business district that one can only walk and hop from one street to the other. Eating out also here is not that bad after all, well not unless if you have a discriminating taste or palate. For as slow as  3 USD you can eat in some fastfood stalls here(just choose either Indian,Pakistan, Filipino or Arabic) or to whatever taste you like. And aside from it, City's fun is not also to miss. There are quiet a lot of bars to choose. From discotheque, jazz to rock bar or to some English pubs. There is really plenty to enjoy! Its just a matter of how you will spend your hard earned money.

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.
