Wrangler // Fiamma // Collective

*LONG OVERDUE POST*

Oh well. I still don’t have internet at home, and I am still hooking at a random wi-fi hotspot. God knows what amount of curses I’ve been hurling at Globe in a span of two weeks. I think I haven’t sworn so much in my life. Messing up with my internet connection is clearly a way to get me pissed. Shutanginamezzz!!!

***

Well anyhow, back to regular programming. I went to  Robinson’s Place Manila for Wrangler‘s fashion show – featuring their newest collection and brand ambassador, Daniel Matsunaga and Aubrey Miles (who wasn’t there.) I wasn’t able to come to their show last Fashion Week and I was really glad I made it this time – though I was really late. You gotta hate Makati traffic.

Didn’t catch the women walk

Was just in time for zeh boys. *lucky!*

I love this look!!!

I like how it is so my style – shirt x denims x boots. I just have to work out for the ‘ceps, LOL!

THAT. SMILE.

 He looks like a boy in a really masculine body. You gotta love that!

Wrangler all over, eh?

Andi Manzano hosted

I could’ve walked the ramp instead. I kid, I kid!!! Okay, don’t take that seriously haha.

NFFs!!! Ava, Krissy, Ana, Megann, and Keigh!

Had a quick dinner at Piadina with the bloggers. I had pesto.

Hanged out a little bit with Ava, Keigh, and Megann at Chatime – Archers branch. New girlfriends, I love!!! I then went straight to Fiamma after for Bobet’s event. The place was so packed!!!

I so love this photo of Adrianne, Megan, and Thysz. You can make a story out of it alone!

Mike, Bon

Why was a tabasco sauce in the table? Somebody perhaps took shots of this, LOL!

Human flood!!! That’s why we went to The Collective for Gold Panda’s gig. I didn’t stay though, had work the following day.

LOL at Ate Bobet’s face!

Quick bite at Happy Palace. It’s either I was so wasted because I haven’t had a decent sleep, or I’ll-keep-my-mouth-shut. 

Last Week in Photos

I’m the hippest smurf ever, LOL! I love that rocking chair at Sip, btw.

Visited Muji Greenbelt. Muji’s newest branch. I know, I know – all Muji branches are the same, but it is just so therapeutic going here and it’s very near my office. So I went, LOL!

I can do my entire Christmas shopping here, I swear.

Scissors. Yes, very smart eh?

Afterwards, I went to a meeting at Rockwell for a talk in Albay. I’m pretty scared and excited all at the same time for this.

Dinner with Jen. Long overdue birthday dinner. Had some tempura and karaage, then watched Zombadings. It still was funny even for the second time around. OH! Let’s watch Rakenrol next!!!

Store Shoot. For Binalot.

This guard called my attention. I tried to ignore him though – because I know what I’m doing LOL! I have a goddamn camera in my hand not a gun!!!

Franchise Asia 2011. Went here for work. I had a great time looking at the booths and tasting different stuff, as most participants were food companies. Also we won best booth!!! Yay for Binalot!!!

REAL CLOWN!!!! NOT A MASCOT!!!! ZOMG!!!!

Hello there, Wendy cosplayer!

Max’s booth looks like a lounge – and greets you right after entering the hall.

I love how this Bench booth (actually Suyen corporation booth) looks like a pop-up shop. But they were not selling anything, hehe.

Our friend Manels was also there. I didn’t get to see Mark though.

The Mini Cooper from Crystal Clear was back!

And yes, our winning homey booth. Don’t you love how Zen it looks like?

Community Creativity Camp at Beacon School. Had spent weeks and weeks preparing for this and it finally happened. Will blog more of this in another post.

I got to be teacher for a day

Super kulit kids! I think they feed on patience, LOL!

Milk tea afterwards. Finally tried Sip at Galleria. Will be reviewing the place soon!

All is fun but I won’t deny that my stress level is at the neck already. I need a bubble wrap. Or a really long hibernation. WEEKEND PLEASE!!!

Some photos from my BlackBerry Curve 8520.

After Ed, there is Mario

After the rave Ed Westwick has left the Philippines (as if it’s even over, Chuck Bass fly over here again!!!) here is a new face, Thailand’s Mario Maurer of The Love of Siam fame, for local clothing brand Penshoppe.

I cannot express how a lot of girls and gheys have been waiting for this moment (since 2008, even before someone found him) what with his looks that could kill and a body that definitely is too sultry for our eyes.

Who could resist?

A fan conference is set to happen on October 28, Friday, 1pm at the PICC, courtesy of Publicty Asia and Penshoppe, as co-presented by ABS-CBN, and hosted by MTV VJ Utt (who is also Thai.) But there’s a catch – you have to complete a stamp card to avail entry to the FanCon. For every PhP500 worth of purchase in all Penshoppe boutiques, one is entitled to a stamp. One should fill the stamp card of 10 slots to avail ticket to the event.

I find it too much of a hassle (and expense) though. I’ll just go to Thailand and find him there, LOL! Or wait til his rumored movie with Erich Gonzales (love triangle with Enchong Dee, perhaps? ❤) materializes. Anyhoo, I wish Mario got here even before everyone knew of him though.

ANNNNNNNNNND! I want to take this opportunity to tell the world how Thais make wonderful films. I lalalalalalalalalalove Thai films!!!

Love of Siam

Crazy Little Thing Called Love

Thai Life Insurance TVC – brace yourself for sadness in this commercial

And I love Thai milk tea too! Ok irrelevant hehe. But, Thai is ❤❤❤
