VIVA FOREVER

And it did happen... the much awaited reunion performance of the most successful girl group in music history---the SPICE GIRLS!!!

Syempre, sila talaga ang inabangan ng sangkabaklaan at sangkalawakan noh! di talaga ako natulog kakahintay sa kanilang reunion perfromance at the London Olympics Closing Ceremony.

True to the spirit of Olympics, alam nyo ba na ang SPICE GIRLS lang ang one and only pop group in history na may official "Sporty" member. Kabog!!! Pasok sa banga! (nai-konek ko talaga eh noh? haha)

Shet na malagkit!!!!!! Lakas talaga maka-bakla ng moment! After fourty eight years nang kakahintay at kakatiis sa mga walang kwentang performances ng ibang artists, may lumabas na limang taxi cab sa gitna ng stage... at BOOM!!!!!

Ang bongga lang ng ganap! Grand Entrance ang mga muher in their own Black taxi cab with matching LED lights sa body reflecting their own 'characters'.

Ayaw pakabog sa fashyon ng mga potah! Kanya kanyang ganap sa outfit! In fairness, true to their signature and classic style pa din ang emoteng mga outfits nila, syempre updated and more high fashion version nga lang this time! 

Emma Bunton aka BABY SPICE in Pink Maggie Cooke dress. Na-miss ko bigla yung magkabilaan niyang ponytail. haha

Geri Haliwell aka GINGER SPICE in Suzanne Neville Red Dress with Union Jack Detail. Taray! Kung maka-peace sign naman si bakla!!! haha

Melanie Brown aka SCARY SPICE in Zuhair Murad! Naku girl, ayaw ni J.Lo nyan! Inaagawan mo siya ng outfit! hahaha! In fairness naman kay bakla, ang sexy ng mga curves niya! 

Melanie Chisolm aka SPORTY SPICE in JD Sports White Jumpsuit. Sporty na sporty! At kung maka-birit naman s bakla, parang wala nang bukas! Haha! In fairness, moment nya yan, Olympics naman eh at since siya ang Sporty Spice, siya na din ang bagong patron saint ng Olympics. Chos!!!

\

Victoria Beckham aka POSH SPICE in Giles Deacon. Syempre papakabog ba ang lola Vicky! Wish ko lang! Haha! Kung maka-aura si bakla, wagas na wagas!!! In fairness, true embodiment naman talaga siya ng word na POSH. Shalang shala ni mader! Walang kupas!!!

And speaking of POSH SPICE, eto lang talaga ang pinaka KABOG moment nya sa buong performance. tawa lang ako nang bongga sabay slow clap! WINNNUUURRRR!!!!

 Sige, magkagulo lang kayo diyan, basta ako, a-aura! PAKAK!!! *sabay pout ng lips at pose*

AWAAAARRRRRDDDDD!!!!!

 Such a moment to remember. May mga bulung-bulungan nga na ito na daw ang last time na makikitang buo ang lima na mag-perform... bakeeetttt? mamamatay na ba ang isa sa kanila? charot!

Oh well, this will probably go down in history as one of the most celebrated and watched Spice Girls Performance.

Oh childhood memories... :')

Viva Forever. Viva Spice Girls...

GOLDEN MOMENT

The London Olympics sure did end with a bang---just how Brits do it, of course.

Apart from the most talked about Spice Girls reunion (which I will also blog about in a bit, haha) one of the moments that really got me up in my seat is when the British Supermodels strut down the stage wearing all gold (of course, dresses and suits by British fashion designers). It was a MAH-JAH FASHION MOMENT!

Hail the Golden Moment of British Fashion!!!

GO FOR THE GOLD!!! SUGOD!!!

From L-R: Lily Cole, Karen Elson (back), Stella Tenant, Kate Moss, Lily Donaldson, Naomi Campbell, Jourdan Dunn, Girogia May Jagger and David Gandy.

ATTACK MGA BAKLA!!!! Ginintuan ang labanan! Go for the Gold ang eksena! 

Ganda lang talaga ng moment! Lakas maka-tumbling! 

For sure, nganga ang lahat ng mga fashionistang bakla!!

To check the beautiful outfits they wore at the closing ceremony, you may see them on the a fashion editorial for VOGUE UK September Issue.

BONGGA!!!

Kate Moss in Alexander McQueen. The QUEEN! The One and Only! UK's better Kate. Yun na!

Naomi Campbell in Alexander McQueen. Kabogera talaga tong si Lola Naomi kahit matanda na! Hala! Sige! Aura!!!

Stella Tenant in Christopher Kane. Androgynous ba kamo? Oh ayan! Magsawa ka!

Lily Donaldson in Vivienne Westwood. Princess lang ang peg! Ganda gandahan lang! Kainis!!! Haha!

Karen Elson in Burberry Prorsum. Legs ba kamo? Ayan, maduling ka kakatitig! Hahaha!

Georgia May Jagger in Victoria Beckham! Yeys! Suot nya ang creation ni Posh Spice! Oh devuh! Level na nila McQueen ang potah! Haha! Inferness naman kay Georgia, manang mana sa tatay niyang si Mick---they got the moves!!! Kamown!

Lily Cole in Erdem. Lakas lang maka-freshness nito! Pwedeng print ad ng Downy High Fashion. Hahaha! Mukha siyang manika ni Princess Sarah. 

David Gandy in Paul Smith and Jourdan Dunn in Jonathan Saunders. Eksena talaga yung feathers eh noh? Ikaw na Jourdann! Ikaw na nga, ang mahiwagang sarimanok ng Britanya! Charot!!!

Basta eto lang ang masasabi ko.....

LONDON FASHION PA DIN TALAGA ANG PINAKA BET KO SA LAHAT!

Oh UK, adopt me!!! 

WHO'S THAT GIRL... IT'S JES!!!

Just sharing with you one of my happiest works to date as a designer---my Jessica Graphic Shirt.

What makes this special is that the girl printed on the design is one of my most treasured friends, my sweetiecake jessicake JESSICA YANG. :)

We were talking before about model Ornussa Cadness having been printed on a graphic shirt for Topman. Jess and I both thought it was super cool. And being a designer for Folded & Hung, (ehem) the country's one of the leading fashion brands (ehem), I decided to do the same with Jes, since she told me that it's also one of her dreams. 

Few months later, after design processes and product development, here comes the shirt I designed for her! The photo came from Jes herself, since the original photo of her that I wanted to put on the shirt was kinda "out of permission" to be used. But anyway, I really think the shirt design really captured what I wanted to express. 

I created a whole collection of graphic shirts inspired by her photo. And the collection (Yes, including this shirt) will be out on September at all Folded and Hung branches nationwide.

PS. Jess loves spicy food and so do I. I want to call the shirt Chili Chica Wow Wow coz it is so freakin HOT!!! :)

I really wish I made her happy. Besides, it's not everyday you get printed on a shirt and be sold all around the country. :)

FUNNIEST GYMNASTICS PERFORMANCE EVER!

Sorry guys, I just wanted to share this. This is freakin funny!!!

Still true to the spirit of the Olympics, this is a video of a man in drag doing Women's uneven Bars Gymnastics Routine.

I cannot even... OMG! LMFAO! :)))

BIRTHDAY WISH LIST!

Just today, mom asked me what I want for my birthday. I realized that it is my birthday again in a few days. I'm turning 25, and I can say that I am pretty much happy and contented with my life now. I mean, hello?!? where's the quarter-life crisis people are talking about?

Anyway, allow me to make a self-indulgent blog post for now (it's gonna be my birthday anyway). haha! I am listing down my birthday wishes (both realistic and unrealistic) *wink* and I'm sending my mom the link. haha! Maybe I'll send the link to my friends as well, so they would already know what to give me for my birthday which I will really really really like. LOL

Okay, so here it goes...


TRIP TO JAPAN or KOREA!!!

First, I love traveling a lot! And I have always wanted to visit Japan (Tokyo, Harajuku and Osaka) or South Korea (Seoul, Jeju Island) eversince but I never got the chance. Traveling abroad refreshes me, it inspires me, it makes me fat and makes me broke. HAHA. But seriously, these Asian countries are the ones I have yet to see and be amazed by. Oh  Lord, how amazing it is to experience first hand the fashion scene of these two major asian cities? I will die for sure!



BAGS!!!

Everyone knows already that I am a major baghag. As in MAJOR! I love my designer bags as much as I love my friends. HAHA! My bags are actually some of my best friends. It'll  definitely be a maj present if someone gifts me a Givenchy Pandora or even just the Marc by Marc Jacobs Burg Boxer Bag (images above). Or any bag from Prada will do. Balenciaga perhaps? Or maybe Chanel or Hermes? Hahaha. Daydreaming again... Anyway, I collect designer bags, not for the purpose of showing off but merely to satisfy my lust over their beauty and prestige. Owning them gives me confidence and drives me to work even harder in order to feel that I deserve them. :)



SHOES!!!

I love shoes, too. But not just ordinary shoes, lately I am kinda in love with elevated or heeled shoes. I like to think that "the higher the heels, the closer I am to God". Amen! I would love a pair of Demonia Creepers or maybe the Doc Martens Brogues will also be perfect! These styles I am totally digging right now. Any brand of shoes though, I do not mind. As long as they are either super stylish or that they are elevated (three-four inches high). HAHA



MAC!!!

I love Mac! I am not a super vain person or even a make-up junkie but I do appreciate good make-up and given the opportunity, I always enjoy having myself done. Their concealers and powders and every thing are all amazing! How I wish I have a complete set/kit of MAC Basic Cosmetics. Concealer (NW30), Foundation (NC30), lip liners and lipsticks (Nude), Eyeliners, Bronzers/Matte Brown Blush, and all their brushes!!! And I can already die beautiful! Gah! I know that if I weren't a fashion designer, the closest career that I definitely will have is as a make-up artist. LOL Anyway, aside from Mac, NARS won't hurt either as I also love their products. HAHA :)


iPAD 3!!!

I have had an iPad before but never enjoyed it that much so I let it go. Now I feel the need of owning one. I could definitely use it at work. I can sketch designs freehand on it and send it right away through email to my suppliers. It can also store images and be my on-the-go moodboard and design tank. Plus, it will also be easier to play Draw Something on it. Hahaha :))


PERFUMES!!!

I am not really a fan of perfumes. Actually, all my perfumes at home were all gifts. I never buy perfumes. But my stock is kinda running on low so I think I need a refurbishing and refill. My fave scents are: DSquared Wood, Burberry Weekend, Lanvin Eclat and Elizabeth Arden Green Tea Lavender. It is always nice to smell good all the time. :)



I still have more but I guess these pretty much sums up what will make me happy on my birthday. Haha!  Kidding!

I am already happy now, nothing more to ask for. I am blessed with a good career, a happy family, amazing friends and a wonderful life full of adventure, and exciting stuff. All these material things are just icing on top. Makes life more delicious as it already is.

So there! Hahaha!

I'll blog soon whether or not I receive any of the items I listed above for my birthday. LOL
