I have recently started catching up on my blog and I saw this old post that I drafted a bazillion ages ago. It would’ve been senseless for me to just chuck it out to my trash bin plus I took great photos (debatable) so I might as well post them.

A perfect example of a great photo…

I am on the second row to see all the fashion action…with a glass of champagne in my hands, of course.

The theme of the show is a boat deck as you can see in the first photo. Very cool and quite frankly, I think this is my go-to style whenever I am feeling casual. Solid colours, clean and crisp. Very nice!!!

More photos  after the jump…

My favourite were ladies’ shoes. Not that I would wear them but if you notice, they are boat shoes on a wedge.

I lurved the stripes, shirt and coats. All basics that I can easily mix and match.

I know that it has been over a year since this happened but it was because of this show that I am frequenting Regatta and I have been a satisfied, returning customer to date.

Thanks, Regatta.

I have not posted anything for inspiration but this will do for now.

Above is the photo of Michael Phelps in all his bodylicious glory for Louis Vuitton.

If only I could look that good in a bath tub. Well, I would settle to have everything from the neck down.

Throw in the bag, too!!!

I know. It has been a while and it is seen through my rusty blog title making skills…but this is too yummy to pass up.

Here is Lady Gaga’s promo for her new fragrance “Fame”.

Shot after shot, it is reminiscent of her “Bad Romance” video which made her unforgettable.

Enjoy!!!

LOL! I just thought of posting this photo while I was on my way to SMX Convention Centre (near Mall of Asia) where the Philippine Fashion Week was held.

I was in a pretty happy mood despite the traffic jam ahead of me.

Even had a “cheer me up” snack waiting for someone.

I needed some back up while doing this mini coverage of mine and this made it entirely relaxing and even more enjoyable for me. Btw, I went to Lord Stow’s Bakery in Mall of Asia for some iced coffee and cookies. Delish!!!

Meet him after the jump…

Meet my personal assistant for the remaining two days of Fashion Week, Athan.

He did everything for me. Take pictures, wait in queue and even push people aside when I am about to pass. Even better, he would stare people back whenever they stared at me, get me my drinks and reserve my seats. Love love love it!!!

What’s more important was I was able to just really sit back and enjoy the shows while all the dirty work was taken cared of. I got to meet some people, mostly because they are somewhere near my vicinity, despite me being shy.

YES, I AM SHY!!!

Oh, and just to save whatever dignity I have with the grossness of the photos I took from the previous day, I would like to blame the really bad seats I had. I was like in the back rows because I was a mere spectator but all of that is changed because of this plastic card…

HELL YEAH!!! From this moment on, I was throwing the I AM MEDIA card and get in first before most people and get special seats for the perfect view.

Before I forget, I would like to thank Runway Productions for the pass. I am very grateful and none of this would’ve been possible without u. Heartfelt gratitude.

Now on with the show!!!

I wanted to keep my look very casual for my second day at Philippine Fashion Week. I was wearing a suit the the day before and I wanted to keep it a little more fun this time. Besides, I have been talking about colour for the previous collections that I saw and it is just proper for me to walk the talk so to speak.

What I had on was a Folded & Hung top, a Jeffrey Rogador oversized track pants, Pedro shoes and my blue Louis Vuitton Riviera (which I actually gave to my mum so technically, I borrowed it). Oh and uber huge brooch that perfectly matched my top which I got from Malaysia.

I wanted to wear it a lot higher on the waist just to look a little different and to hide the huge belly that I have been sporting lately.

More photos after the jump…

To contrast my casual look, I kept my sleek by brushing it up to show off my perfect face. A little James Dean, if u will.

Here is a shot that was taken of me when I was off guard (honest to god) using my Samsung Tablet when I was making a call. I just found this hilarious because this is how u talk to the person on the other line…

…and this is how I want to hear what they have to say.

LOL!

I sincerely enjoyed my second day in Fashion for a good reason.

Stay tuned!!!

Coming from the Oxygen Show earlier, I thought it would be a little blande for me to see more blacks. Don’t get me wrong I LURVE  black because it gives me all access to everything crazy but another full line of blacks and neutrals is a little too repetitive for me.

Coming into Marlon Rivera’s Holiday 2011 Collection felt like that at first, only because of the colours, but I was in for a surprise when I saw some colours towards the end. I was like revived back to sanity and the clothes totally got my attention. They spoke to me…and they said grab me while u can still see me on the runway.

More after the jump…

Like I said, started out with mostly black.

Then bam!!!

There are more colours that I saw actually but alas, my photography skills failed me. (

This is my favourite!!! Give me that cape!!!

For the final looks.

Love the layers and the fit. Layering in a tropical country like the Philippines is next to impossible with the heat but how they are draped and the material seems light enough to let the skin breathe. Fashion should still be comfortable, noh?

And that’s it for the first day of my Philippine Fashion Week…which is actually the fifth day but I only got there that time.

More to come…

I was searching for live performances of Beyonce for Run The World in the wee hours of the morning just to keep my mood up while I blogged and came across this hilarious spoof.

Watch and enjoy.

I can’t help but focus my eyes on the back up dancers. They know nothing about dancing but they sure kept up with “Beyonce”.

Who run this mother…board!!!

As u can see from my very first photo, my photography skills are below par which is quite a shame because the clothes that M Barretto is showing here is amazing.

I WANT TO WEAR THEM ALL!!!

Mr Barretto, if u happen to pass by my blog, please throw some my way. I will gladly show them off and photo whore (which apparently I am quite good at).

So much more photos after the jump…

This is the first men’s show that I saw and I was definitely excited. Men’s fashion is a little on the rigid side and playing around with it is a little bit difficult so I am really interested to see what is out there…boy was I glad to see this!!!

Love the suit!!!

I have those suspenders and that loose necked top. Idea!!!

I also have that red jacker in a vest version. Very Michael Jackson circa 1980s.

This is my favourite piece. Purple extravaganza!!! Would love to wear green shoes with that and play the guess the vegetable game.

There a few women’s pieces but given my bad photography skills, this is the only clear one I got.

The crowd started screaming when these people came out so I am guessing they are celebrities. Sigh…now I know I have been gone from the Philippines far too long.

And the last look.

This is not the last that I’ve seen of the men’s fashion line for Philippine Fashion Week.

I am salivating and generally inspired to dress up again!!!

Now how’s that for starters?!?!?

I am now continuing my posts on the adventure I had through Philippine Fashion Week. I know I know it was ages ago but who cares, noh???

Anyway, here is the ESAC Holiday 2011 Line. I love the bright colours and the material are mostly bling bling shiny. U know I love everything shiny.

More photos after the jump…

This is actually my favourite dress. I don’t know why I can’t get over my love for purple. The disease has been on for months now.

Theses clothes I can see being worn by brides/brides maid’s (did I spell that right?)/god parents/debutantes.

It is a little bit typecasted for my view but I lurve the use of colour, nonetheless.

Final walkthrough…

And a final peek at something that I wish I could do.

That’s it…NO MORE CARBS!!!

I have been working on so many photos that I have amassed since I’ve hibernated from blogging and my neck is hurting like a bitch.

Anyway, before I continue with my way overdue Philippine Fashion Week posts, let me segway (???) this feature about the most important Filipino in the world me in a motivational blog called Motivation Malaysia.

Just like any interview (as if I have done hundreds), I was asked questions and answered to the best of my abilities…very Miss Universe-like.

Read the full article here. It is also run by the person who convinced me to start blogging, Syafique. Follow Syafique on twitter here and MotivationMY on twitter here.

Be sure to like my feature because if u are reading this, u obviously like me.
