<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Being another one of those "from the books to the big screen" type of movies, I expected Beautiful Creatures to be another cheesy shot at a mortal falling madly in love with some magical creature with the wiping-out of the human race or a the take over of a new world order as a result of the said love affair. Watching Twilight proved that idea of mine. However, it seems that not all movie adaptations of best-selling novels that are focused on supernatural love are bound to suffer the same fate that the Twilight saga had endured. Or even the romance of a mortal and a magical being: a vampire, a zombie, a wizard, or a witch. In the eyes of the public, it seems that if a movie is about something human and supernatural that became somewhat involved with each other romantically, it's bound to be a cheesefest complete with cheesy lines, cheesy characters, and cheesy endings. If you ask me, I'd rather have loads of cheese on my popcorn. Fortunately for Beautiful Creatures, that wasn't the case.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Never under judge a book by its cover. Or in this case, the poster, the trailer, and the ads for the movie. Seeing it in cinema lobbies, I told myself that I'd prolly be watching it when it hits HBO. But when I got the chance to see it, it was totally different from Twilight. Well, not too different. But different in the sense that it's actually good. It's no Titanic, yes. But we have to give the film credit for portraying teenage romance in a way that didn't squeeze cheese every scene. Moreover, some of the scenes were actually relatable, credible, and cute; something you don't see that much in magical love stories. Beautiful Creatures gives supernatural teenage romance a good name, or at least a better one than the entire Twlight Saga offered, said one critic. </span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">My personal judgement? It's a movie worth watching, yes. It's definitely not the best. But not all films have to be. The storyline is good. There's a lot of things to be improved. The director could have played more with the story but unfortunately, the potential wasn't fully utilized. But that doesn't give you an excuse not to watch it. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">And Emmy Rossum's there. You cannot miss out on Emmy as a dark witch. I can guarantee that.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Definitely a 7 out of 10. Not bad. Not bad at all.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Last Monday, I was invited to attend a press conference of a local film that was participating in the upcoming Metro Manila Film Festival this year. I not being entirely a fan of local films (Unfortunately. Yes, I know, it sucks) wasn't really all the more excited about this since I would be coming from school on a Monday. And I"ll be going there during the rush hour. On a Monday. In a taxi. So help me God.</i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i><br /></i></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<i>Ranting aside, I decided to go because firstly, I have never attended a press conference before, and secondly, it's for a local film. I haven't been really exposed that much to the Philippine film industry that much so I was hoping tat this conference may change something about that. The thing with me is I seem to have inherited our society's colonial mentality; especially when it comes to media and entertainment. I'm willing to change that, of course. I'm starting out with my fashion choices. Local media is naturally the next step so yeah. Here it goes.</i></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br />
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote, at Si Ako (whew that was mouthful haha) is probably one of the more familiar movies that we see each year during MMFF. What started out as Enteng Kabisote only became a series of sequels that are consistent blockbusters each year. It stars one of Philippine TV's prominent features, especially in the local afternoon shows, Vic Sotto (who, by the way, looks like a carbon copy of my father. Hahahaha), the actor-turned-senator Bong Revilla, and another industry big shot, Judy Anne Santos. During the press con, however, only my father's look-alike came since the other two had commitments; one of them, of course, was debating that time for the passing of the RH Bill. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">During the course of the press conference, Vic Sotto explained details about the movie and answered questions from the fellow bloggers who were there. I found out so many things about the people who makes these movies. "Bossing" relayed anecdotes from the movie sets and from the people who made the film. It's really an eye opener for me honestly. If there's one thing I got from this press con, it's a higher respect for our local film makers, and a more enthusiastic approach when it comes to Philippine films.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Seeing the trailer of Si Agimat, Si Enteng Kabisote, at Si Ako gave me a look at what audiences will be seeing when it hits the cinemas this 25th. And from what I saw, it's not at all bad. It's actually very good! The special effects are already at par with what some other international films are already producing. And aside from the amazing talent that they showed, the sets and the places where they shot the film are breathtaking. If I'm not mistaken, majority of the shots are done in the Ilocos province. Amazing really.</span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Now here's one kid that's definitely going to hit the theaters this December 25th!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Sorry for the lack of photos. The CD that contained them isn't working, unfortunately. Hmm, I dunno why though. Sucks.</i></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><i>Be sure to support the local film industry in this year's Metro Manila Film Festival. Entries will start screening at your nearest theatre by December 25. Check them out! Go Pinoy!</i></span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">This editorial has been long overdue because of my current school work and other stuff. What started out as a shoot for my school plate turned out to be a full editorial. I had lots of photos that I took that day and I decided that they shouldn't go to waste. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Since the styling of it reminded me of Xerxes, the Persian king in the film 300, I decided that it might as well be the theme. Also, if you're going to notice, there's only one look. We didn't have enough time to restyle and make other looks because technically, we just sneaked in the photo studio in school without permission! Thankfully, no one caught us and that offense was two semesters ago so it won't matter now. Hahaha. Because of my lack of time and the diversity of looks, I just edited the photos in different ways to prevent redundancy. </span></span><br />
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"><br /></span></span>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;">Anyways, I would like to thank </span>Joma Bernardo<span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> for modelling, </span>Kristin<span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> Cornejo for the hair and make up, and </span>Lois Ruiz<span style="line-height: 18px; text-align: left;"> for helping me set up the studio and lights. Thank you so much and enjoy</span></span></div>

If there's one thing in the world I'm pretty much obsessed about, it's eyewear. Classics to be more particular. But when these pieces take their share of distress and toll, damage is inevitable, of course. Don't fret though, there's always something you can do to fix it and even improve it! So I scoured the streets of Quiapo to find an optical store that can actually fixed mine. The price for new lenses is usually 400 bucks But if you bring 4 or more, they might actually discount you! I got each pair for 300 bucks repair fee. And if you look better than I do, you might actually find a place that might have lower prices! Just go and check it out there in Quiapo!</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I had this clear Clubmaster for a while now. I got it from a vintage store in a bazaar I went to. But the thing is, I wanted a pair of Clubmaster's that's tinted. Since I wanted those Ray Ban's, I had this pair tinted with a dark shade. At the rate my allowance is going, I simply don't have enough to buy my own Ray Ban's. So I guess this will do. For now, though. HAHA</span><br />

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> This pair I got from a thrift store somewhere. I assume this pair came from an old man (and a really old man at that) since the grade of the lenses were insanely high! If you put them on, I bet you'd see the other side of the world. Crazy, I know! Kidding aside though, this particular pair came across to me as a something that would look real awesome with clear lenses instead of tinted ones. I had the lenses replaced with a pair that doesn't have grade. Yep, no-grade glasses. Hipsters everywhere, rejoice!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">This, by far, is one of my favorite pieces. It's like a cat's eye; only more masculine, I guess. I also saw a pair of Giorgio Armani's in this style . I also love how it's really big. Not big enough to cover my marvelous face (Ok chos lang yung marvelous face hahaha), but just enough to give of some sort of authority. Think Anna Wintour circa 1990's; younger and boyish. HAHA. Anyways, I used it so much, the left lens cracked. Haven't used it ever since. So I had it fixed and added a darker tint to it. Why so? So I could stare at people and not be seen staring at them. Hoohaa!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I got this pair for 250 bucks at a recent bazaar. And by recent, I mean months ago. HAHA. Crazy how time flies. I got it without checking for the lenses. If you look at the right lens on the before photo, there is a square at the bottom right that's lighter than the rest. It looks funny when I wear it, honestly. It's like a patch of white spot that I forgot to retouch. Anyhoo, I had it replaced with a darker tint for the same reason as the sunglasses before it. It pays to see your dose of hot people without catching you stare at them. Naks.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last Saturday, I went (more like dragged, really) to do a shoot in UP for a shop that sells school merchandise. It was pretty chilly in the morning; thus I wore a sweater. That and because I wasn't really in the mood to dress up or anything. It was the first day of my semestral break and the last thing I wanted was someone knocking on my door at 6 in the morning, asking me if I could shoot some stuff. Well, we can't get all what we want, can we? </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Funny though, the weather that started out chilly became insanely hot after just an hour of driving there. I know Manila's weather has always been like a girl on her period; unexpected and if unprepared, might cause so much stress. Ha! But, kidding aside, wearing this gorgeous mustard sweater on a hot day like that was prolly one of the things that I find bittersweet; I look nice but I'm sweating like crazy. Upside is, it doesn't show. I'm not sure if it's a win-win situation though. Nevertheless, lesson learned: if you're going to wear something knitted, it better be thin. Coz it ain't Antarctica here in Manila so don't push it. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Maybe next time I'll stick to the plain polos, yes?</div>

I recently got 3 polos from a recent thrift shopping spree due to sheer boredom. Prior to that though, I was able to read in a magazine that printed polos are becoming a trend. Not that I haven't noticed it. I've seen lots of men wearing printed shirts that look so dapper and chic! Minus the floral ones worn by a particular ex-mayor of Manila though. However, that didn't stop me from trying to pull off the trend.<br />

I saw this particular shirt because of the prominent blue stripes printed on it. Turns out the blue stripes were actually trees! And what I thought to be leaves turned out be these fabulous tiny sparrows! It's details like these that make these shirts extra special. Turns out it's from Viktor and Rolf. As you can see, there's their logo in gold on the upper left corner of the shirt pocket. And the texture of the shirt is just light! Perfect for the unpredictable Manila weather. J'adore! </div>

After a few more racks of searching through dowdy shirts, I chanced upon this navy blue shirt with orange and yellow crosses. What I like about it is that it looks like plaid, but it isn't! And the color combination is just one of my favorites. I had to get it! For Php 130, it's not a bad buy! Awesome! </div>

This particular piece caught my eye because I don't have something in my closet that's in this color. Moreover, the print was something graphic without being to overwhelming like some shirts I've seen in the past. It's actually quite small in scale; I just zoomed it in for better viewing. Somehow, it reminds me of a wallpaper in an 80's inspired movies I've seen. I just couldn't remember which one. But this shirt is something that's definitely memorable.</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">If there is one thing (many things actually) in the world that I completely fall in love with, it's classics. Trends may come and go, but classic pieces are definitely forever. That's why I love scoping through my dad's old stuff and finding vintage pieces and accessories that totally complement my look. It's amazing how the stuff my dad wore back when he was in college is still relevant to today's fashion. I can't say the same for my mom, of course. Obviously, I can't wear her clothes. Well, maybe not all her clothes, but some, yes. One thing is for sure though. Boys should always look to their father's closet's for inspiration. That is, of course, once they hit the early adult stage of their life. Haha!</span></div>

Some of the awesome leather accessories in the photos are actually products of a new shop that's going to open soon! It's called Torquey. Basically, they'll be selling classic leather accessories such as bags, wallets, suitcases, and many more others that will definitely last forever. The Macbook Air sleeve and the suitcase is just one of the many items they'll be selling! It's owned by one of my friends. And of course, the dapper movement is one thing I support passionately. It's about time men know how to dress up more than in a casual manner!</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
They'll be launching their shop soon! I'll keep you posted! :)</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It's been a really long time since I posted a new blog entry since I was busy with lots of things; school, extra-curricuars, and the occasional family time and social life. Besides, I have to admit, this blog isn't really my top priority as of the moment. However, it still a significant part of my life right now so I try to give time to it as much as possible.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A few weeks ago, we had a retreat in Caleruega, a real awesome place in Batangas. It's high up in the mountains and the views are nothing short of spectacular. Moreover, it's just a stone's throw away from our high school retreat house; it makes me feel emotionally attached to the place more. As much as I hate retreats, it can be refreshing to go away from the city every once in a while.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As anti-emotional as I can be, I can't help but reflect (even if I was forcing myself not to) on the things I consider significant in my life right now. Things. Personal things. And I guess it was some sort of re-revaluation of what was going on. It's insane how 3 days out of the city can make you think. I'm not exactly the most religious but then again, I'm not really so sure. Anyhow, I guess it's important to think of the current state of things when you're given a chance. Because when you don't, when will you?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Going back to Manila, I felt like I had a fresh face. A newer take on things. And with a fresh face comes a fresh phase; a better outlook on life. I just hope it sticks with me for a long while. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
As for the outfit, went really chill on this one. The sweater was prolly the only thing that made it a bit dapper. Funny how I wear thin clothes on cold weathers. Oh well, a life of opposites. HAHA</div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last August 24, I went to Il Terrazzo's Ariato for Ignite Il Terrazzo, an awesome launch of the newest lifestyle hub in Quezon City. I came straight from my class so my outfit wasn't exactly the most prepared. Nyaha. It was my second time to go to Il Terrazzo that night. The first time was a few months ago, when we had to look for some place to eat in Tomas Morato. The good thing about Il Terrazzo is that it has a lot of establishments that offer a wide variety of services ranging from fine dining, fitness, technology, event venues, and so much more! It truly is a lifestyle hub of different sorts, all rolled into one.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for the party, it was simply amazing. We arrived by 9:30 PM; by that time, there were only a few people. But come 10 PM, more people arrived and that's when the fun really started! And to add to that, the simply divine music hunk, DJ David Callum, arrived to start spinning! Gosh, heaven, you guys. </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Went home a bit earlier than the others; but definitely not as sober. HAHAHA </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br class="Apple-interchange-newline" />Yesterday, the family and I went to Tagaytay to make the most of the long weekend that started last Saturday. It feels great to be able to roll down the windows of the car and not smell the smoke that usually greets my nose in Manila. Ah, the smell of fresh pine trees; it's euphoric, really. And the great thing about going out of town is the dressing up part! Since it's a bit colder up there, I donned something thicker and cozier than I usually would in the city. I wanted a no-fuss look so I grabbed my favorite striped sweater and brown pants (my other jeans were in the laundry nyahaha), to my regret, a pair of white sneakers from Converse x PLAY CDG; my personal favorite. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went to Picnic Grove and expected lots of people to be there. True to our expectations, hoards of people went around in groups. It was actually hard taking an outfit shot since there would always be photobombers everywhere. HAHA. But really. And the last time we were there, we really got good shots. Check <a href="http://jonardmanilakid.blogspot.com/2012/06/mountain-blues.html">here</a>! However, when we got to the same place, we found two lovers laying in the grass where we were suppose to take photos. Awkward. Really. In the end, we had to look for another place. We found somewhere really nice but... would we do it?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">It really was a question of will power since it was somewhere risky; the perimeter of the forest grounds were fenced and it was incredibly slippery. Would we do it in the woods? I guess to be able to do great things, one would have to go out of their comfort zone, take risks, and just do it. Worked for us. Really nice photos, don't you think?</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Would you do what it takes to do great things? Even if it was as simple as taking a good outfit shot.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Would you?</span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I know this post is basically not in season since it's technically raining all over Manila at the moment. However, I think a nice reminder of how awesome the sun is might be good for everyone! I had these outfit shots last summer. But for some reason, my laptop refused to show it to me until now. Weird, I know.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">We went to this obscure beach somewhere in the Quezon province during our stay there last April. As you can see, it was gloriously sunny that day and wearing pants was just not an option. So I did the usually unthinkable; and that's to wear shorts! I never wear shorts when I go out. I have hideous legs. Really. I'd like it snuggled under breath-restraining skinny jeans usually. But since the occasion called for something more relaxed, I had to let that go and do my thing. Nyahaha. And I totally not regret it!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shirt is a favorite of mine. It's a shirt from a collaboration between Matt Groening, the creator of The Simpsons and PLAY x Comme Des Garcons. It was originally long sleeves but I didn't like it so I had the sleeves cut off. Also, the blue and white stripes just got me! Shorts are from Ralph Lauren, straw hat from Zara, gold aviators from Divisoria (ha! Cheap yeah!) and bag is obviously from Marc by Marc Jacobs. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Hope this post brings some sunny cheer to your rainy days!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As we all know, the monsoon winds and rains have been heavy upon us for the past few days. What I thought would be an awesome week of no classes and fun was only met half-way. Yep, we didn't get classes. But fun wasn't there either, sadly. Luckily for me, (and a vast majority of us, I believe) there was a roof above my head, food on our table, and my family's been with me through the whole ordeal. Others are a bit unluckier. Floods ravaged most of Metro Manila and along with it, the things that many people hold dear. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">They say every cloud has a silver lining. It's true in most cases; just like this one. It's funny how it takes one disaster to unite our country men to move and help out each other irregardless of social standing and class. I've seen people from all walks of life moving together, no prejudices, to help out others in need. I think a new twist to a common saying is needed: "Divided we fall, United we stand".</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">In the spirit of helping, all is not good news. As sad as it is, there are some people who take the opportunity to give more credit unto themselves than what they actually deserve. Using these times of </span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">calamity</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> as a platform for popularity and fake integrity is a bit disturbing. No offense, but I've seen people seemingly shout out to the world that they're helping. I mean, it's not a bad thing. I guess it would be ok to get some credit for the good things you do. But that wasn't the case. I've seen people tweeting fake reports, wrong images, false news, and more other things that actually cause more distress than help. Tweeting images from Ondoy's time just to get 50 retweets? Spreading news about a widespread Meralco black out? Not cool man.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Forgive me for the harsh observations. But you can never deny these things. I applaud anonymous donors who give out without acknowledgement. It doesn't make them any greater than the people who also give out. However, it does make the sincerity of the help given much more believable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
How about you? Did you help out of sincerity? Or out of popularity?</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I mustache you this question.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><i>This is merely an observation. A cloud of thought that's been bugging my brain for the past few days. I mean no disrespect to anyone. </i></span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Aivan, Nicole, and I had a shoot (and a very spontaneous one at that. HAHA) a few weeks ago somewhere in Ortigas near Megamall. We were wearing these amazing pop art shirts sold by Aivan which is really cool, by the way. During the Super Sale Bazaar, a month ago, the shirts were a huge hit so we thought, why not shoot a totally awesome street style look with it! It was a brilliant idea, honestly. And that idea, I present to you now.</span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The shirts were printed with pop art from Roy Lichtenstein, I believe. I'm a huge fan of his work, honestly. Some people who love pop art mention Andy Warhol as their favorite. But Roy's is my personal pick. His choice of colors and use of bold shapes just gets the life out of me. And to have a shirt that has something inspired by Roy was just seriously cool.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was thinking of a way to give the photos that pop art appeal. So I thought of desaturating the background and letting our outfits pop out! A pretty ingenious idea, actually. Did the post-processing too. I think it might have been a bit too much but I guess pop art really does <i>pop</i>!</span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
</span>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Thanks to Aivan for the shirt and to Nicole for taking the shots! We need to have more of this often! </span></div>

<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have always loved the allure of black and white photos; especially ones with just the right amount of grain. It gives off that nostalgic feel; of memories gone by and time passed. It's amazing how photos can contain the emotions of people, freeze a smile in time, and preserve a memory in just a snap of a shutter. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Drama aside, I thought about posting these photos because I don't want these snapshots to rot unseen in my hard drive. I personally think people should take photos of other things beside themselves because you never know what you're going to get sometimes. It's also a good outlet for creativity. And you don't have to be a professional photographer. Sometimes, a hobbyist can take just as good photos. You never know, it just might be the thing you're going to be good at.</span></div>Jonard Paltenghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02598999725307220265noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2300444693155662672.post-2055884759880612402012-07-23T06:11:00.000-07:002012-07-23T06:11:02.426-07:00Cool for School<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I wore this outfit to the Alcatel One Touch launch in Bella Ibarra several weeks ago. From my usual outfits, this has to be one of my chillest outfits since I came straight from school and went back. The navy blue sweater,one of my favorites, is speckled with gold flicks all over. And the thing I like the most about it is it shimmers in the light; like an Edward! HAHAHA If you know what I mean. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Basically, this is how I would look like in school since we also wear white polos as our uniform. I guess this look minus the OS bone tie. It just shows that you can still be chic in school; even in a uniform. </span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I was invited by a dear friend of mine to attend the Alcatel One Touch launch in Bella Ibarra, a really nice events place near Quezon Avenue. The place was filled with different personalities from both the showbiz world and the blogging world. The food was good, the people were better, but of course, the new Alcatel phones were the best feature of the day!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">With new smart phones dominating the mobile industry, it's high time that Alcatel launch their own range of smart phones at an affordable price! Smart phones usually come with a hefty price tag; but not Alcatel's. The thing that I like about these phones is the fact that they are both inexpensive and stylish without losing their function as a smart phone; a rare combination nowadays. And I'm sure people out there are looking for good smart phones that are good for the wallet too. Make the smart choice; get Alcatel One Touch phones now!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last July 19, Nicole, Aivan, and I planned on having lunch at Yabu in The Atrium at Megamall. Kelly was suppose to go with us but wasn't able to because he had work that day, unfortunately. We also planned to shoot Aivan's new line of pop art shirts that are seriously awesome, really. The day was long and the sun was behind the clouds; the day couldn't be more perfect.</span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Ordered loads of cabbage salad from Yabu. Really, it's the only place that can make me finish my veggies. Honest! Then after lunch, we went to the overpass near St. Francis Square to do the shooting. The whole thing was spontaneous, unplanned, but totally exciting. People were staring, no doubt. We actually thought the guards would restrain us from continuing the shoot, but lo and behold, they did not! Then I remembered, we were not in Makati. HAHAHAHA. </div>
</span><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">After a few minutes of shooting, we decided to grab donuts since all three of us started running low on camera battery. Chilled in J. Co Donuts while they were scouting for Wi-Fi. Never really continued the shoot after wards. HAHA. But it was a fun day nevertheless.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As many people (I think many are. Lol ) are aware, I used to spend a lot on clothes. Like, a lot. And since my parents encourage saving up for something we like, I'd usually have to spend days of filter feeding and water dieting back in high school just to be able to buy shoes from Topman or those nice shirts from Zara. It was no easy task. The benefits were great though; we got skinny as a result. Back in the days, if you were gay and skinny, you're fabulous. So we, the skinny bitches, would go shopping for stuff and look great at the same time; it's a win-win situation. Or if I'm lucky, I'd get sent all these fabulous jackets by my aunts from abroad; even if the jackets were meant for countries that lie on the northern hemisphere. It was a comfort disadvantage but definitely a style advantage. And a popularity raiser too. I remember having one of my motorcycle jackets being borrowed by my friend in the other section. After recess, it would be in another section. It's the same case after lunch. I'd have to trace my jacket not only in other sections, but also in the other batches for safe measure. But that was in high school. And with the price of fashion getting higher than my allowance, I had to find a way to sustain my craving for new pieces without sacrificing a whole week's worth of recess and lunch.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Then someone introduced me to thrift stores. Oh God, the glory of thrift stores! Where have they been all my life? I was actually reluctant at first; the shops made me sneeze like hell and wreaked of old clothes. But once I spotted the vintage Givenchys and the old Diors among the Bossini pants and Chinese clothes, I was sold! It found it insane and mind-boggling how these fabulous clothes end up in places like this. I felt like I was rescuing long forgotten luxury and bringing them back to life. It was surreal.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">So now, what I'll do is share these fabulous finds and maybe inspire those people who think that fashion has to be expensive to be fabulous; not that it isn't true, but then again, a cheaper alternative is always better. I'll be posting stuff I found that's sure to inspire the fashion adventurer in you to dive in to the experience and maybe, just maybe, get awesome stuff like I do. </span>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">I got these boots from a thrift store near SM Centerpoint. I remember squealing in delight when I saw them. I was eyeing these particular boots on mrporter.com, a website that's basically my dream closet. These are around $200 on the website. I got to haggle it from 700 pesos to 450 pesos. And in such pristine condition! Gosh, amazing.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">Now these 2 glasses are some of my recent acquisitions from the Super Sale Bazaar. Online, these would fetch around $150 to $275. Even more! So when I saw that these glasses are 250 pesos and 150 pesos respectively, I just couldn't say no! It's insane, I'm telling you. And it looks so vintage too!</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">These rings, however, ain't really that cheap. It's from Forever 21. But since the rings I usually buy hit 400 pesos to 700 pesos, I think it's only fair that I consider these cheap since it's 160 pesos for 3 pieces. Not bad. Not bad at all.</span><br />

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size: x-small;">When I saw this leather envelope/clutch in a thrift store, I just had to have it. I've seen many of these kinds of bags in bazaars and I'm telling you, they're 600 pesos and above. So when I saw this and found out it's only for 200, I grabbed it and paid. It's now one of my fave bags because the leather is so soft. And it's not the type of leather that feels cheap. Amazing, really.</span><br />

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">There are so many things in my closet that I got for a really cheap price. It's amazing how the universe seems to provide me with all the things I want but for a really, really, really, lower price. It's like I'm cheating fashion; the hundred dollar look for a huge fraction of the price. A lot of fashionable people will attest to this. So if we could find things like these, definitely so can you. </span></div>

Day 1</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
I needed a look that can easily be transformed into my uniform for school since I had to go to class by 5 PM that day. So I looked for a white polo and put on my usual black jeans and boots. The olive green military jacket just went so well with the boots and aviators! Very military chic which I don't really do much often. The crown of thorns also made an appearance since it complimented the gold aviators I was donning. I think I might have been inspired by Lady Gaga's "Alejandro" and "Black Jesus (Amen Fashion)". Very appropriate, don't you think?</div>

Day 2</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Decided to mix brown and blue today! It was a bit hot on the way to WTC so I put on my favourite PLAY shirt which was a collaboration between Comme Des Garcons and Matt Groening. The brown pants plus the brown brogues pretty much completed my look. The blazer from Zara came as an after thought since it was cold inside the tent. By the way, I made the star-studded blue leather wrap myself! I can be a bit of a craftsman sometimes when I'm bored. And can I just say? These vintage brogues are just fabulous. The scuff marks and the patina looks even better in person.</div>

Day 3</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
For the third day, I opted to wear something a bit darker than usual. Got my denim shirt on with my fave motorcycle jacket. And here's a trivia: this is the very first jacket that got me hooked into jackets. Really! I had it since I was 2nd year high school and it has been borrowed by no less than 20 people already. I love it to bits. Anyways, the OS black bone tie really went well with my dark themed outfit so I had to put it on. The usual black jeans and the Doc Martens made it look tough, I think. I also put on two watches because I always find myself running out of time. So why not wear two watches? HAHAHA Kidding. I have always loved the appeal of multiple watches ever since I saw Giovanna Battaglia wear it. It's a personal touch, really. The LA fitted hat really "capped" the look for me. Now if only I could wear leather in this weather, I'd be a really happy kid.<br /><br />Thanks to Nicole and Aivan for taking my outfit shots!</div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Last July 13th to the 15th, the Super Sale Bazaar was held in the World Trade Center tent. It was obviously one of the most anticipated bazaars here in the Metro since a lot of people came. And by a lot, I mean, A LOT. There were so many fashionable people! Not only the buyers but some of the sellers too! It's an absolute treasure trove of different things ranging from designer items, trendy pieces, to hi-tech kitchen appliances, make up galore, and even toys. It was such an experience being able to sell here since I usually go to the Super Sale Bazaar to shop. </span></div>

I guess everyone gets together in the name of shopping. It was really fun seeing people and interacting with them; the things they like, what they look for, and many other things. All of the excitement happening under one, cozy tent. It's a more personal approach to shopping, I believe. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The days might be tiring and the food may be pretty damn pricey, but all in all, it was a great experience. I can't wait to go to another bazaar; not only to shop but also maybe to sell!</span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">You guys should try it some time. Lol.<br /><br />Thanks to Nicole for inviting me to sell! I owe you big time!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> If there's one thing you should know about me, it's that I am seriously obsessed with glasses of all sorts. I usually buy really cheap ass ones so that if I lose them, I can easily replace them; for practical reasons, honestly. </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">I have lots of glasses already but I've been looking for wooden ones. It's hard to find ones of good kind. When I find them though, it's a bit pricey. Sad. But the one boring afternoon, I found a way to make those cheap ass plastic frames into something more...special, I guess. After experimenting on broken frames, I finally found a way to make it look like it's made of wood!</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Disassemble the frame of the glasses. Make sure that you go easy on the part of the frames that contain the lenses because they are prone to damage easily. And be sure to keep the screws! As you can see, the temple on the lower part has already been turned into wood.</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> Get two sandpapers of different roughness. One should be rougher than the other. I used a 120 and a 140. Ask your father, local carpenter, or a hardware store about this. </span></div>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As you can see, this is the 120 sandpaper. It's a bit rougher and you'll be using this to remove the gloss and make the frames a bit rougher.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYGdi4OOIpdFNf4UN8_JtXnLxmHx3-l7hUznZqDBb5QKGRf1WY2ToC1DDXqBaZkxBR-ua54bmatW90FOhmnl2LB9K02pMElhLbGzo5R2U_tysV-foSWSuTrCz6N4tuA9dK99hTDMXLqc/s1600/6.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em; text-align: justify;"><span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><img border="0" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjuYGdi4OOIpdFNf4UN8_JtXnLxmHx3-l7hUznZqDBb5QKGRf1WY2ToC1DDXqBaZkxBR-ua54bmatW90FOhmnl2LB9K02pMElhLbGzo5R2U_tysV-foSWSuTrCz6N4tuA9dK99hTDMXLqc/s1600/6.jpg" /></span></a></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> The 140 has a finer surface yet it's still rough, trust me. You'll be using this to create the "wood grain" which will finish the look of the wooden frames.</span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">First things first. Please be careful when sanding the frames. You might scratch your skin and trust me, that's not a good thing. So what you do is you sand the frames in one direction. I repeat, IN ONE DIRECTION ONLY. No criss-cross sanding. You won't find a tree or wood that has a criss-cross grain, wouldn't you? </span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><br /></span></div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another thing, make sure to sand it under a stream of running water from a faucet. It makes sanding easier and gives a smoother finish. After that, dry it and it's done! It's that easy!</span></div>

<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Who would have known that what started out as a joke on Twitter between 3 bloggers would eventually turn into a reality. The Bookworm Brigade was that joke; an idea of sharing books between fellow book lovers and voracious readers alike. It's amazing how people can get together and meet new friends through the power of books! It just shows that books really do take you to places.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
Last June 30, 2012, Jonver, Cariza, and I turned Moonleaf Maginhawa into a mini book sale. People from all over Manila and beyond gathered for one day of books, friends, and a cup of Moonleaf tea. I honestly thought there would only be a few who would go but the turn out of people who supported our cause was amazingly many! It's just really inspiring to see and meet people who share the same passion as you.</div>
</span><br />
<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Another awesome thing is that we were able to share books not only with fellow book lovers but also with children who don't have any books at all! To all those who donated books for Global Shapers, thank you, thank you, and thank you so much! It's insane how people can get together and do something good for people who need help. And the good thing is, it won't be the last Bookworm Brigade! We've talked with some people from Moonleaf and it looks like we're going to make this a monthly thing! So if I were you, you better get your books ready because the next one is definitely going to be soon! Watch out for it and I can assure you it's going to be more awesome than ever.</span></div>

<span style="color: white; font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Reading books have always been one of my favorite past times and I would go to pretty much any length just to get a good read. My close friends know that I always have to check out book stores and leave me there to wander for hours. There is something about reading books that seem to take over your imagination and steal you from reality to a world that is very much unlike our own. So when Jonver, Cariza, and I had the idea to have some sort of book trading event, I knew that I simply cannot resist it. And with that, we give to you The Bookworm Brigade.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Nothing beats a day out of the city after a week of pure stress and scholastic obligations. The family surprised me and the siblings with a trip to our place in Batangas and then a side trip to Tagaytay. It's amazing how a few hours out of the city can rejuvenate a tired soul.</span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">The thing about these trips is that we get to dress up and it gives me an opportunity to document my outfits more since I can't really take photos of mine on a daily basis. So I go all out. And it's also these times that I get some of the best photos; photos that I can honestly say are really pretty. </span></div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
<span style="font-family: 'Helvetica Neue', Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">As for my outfit, I wore a chambray polo from Gap Kids in XL size (HAHA), my fave navy blue shorts from Ralph Lauren and a grey cardigan from my father's closet. The white Bally shoes are also one of my favorite things that came from my dad's closet. I love how my outfit gives of that preppy resort type of vibe which I really tried pulling off; and pulled off I did.</span></div>
