the lady is a vamp

i adore lady gaga. at last, there's a breakthrough in the pop scene. she's talented, can sing and write, designs her own clothes and stuff and a visionary. she's pretty, really confident with her own body and sexuality. her songs have club vibe that makes me want to dance every time i hear it. i just simply lovett! 

only she can pull that head dress

super light blonde works on her and the lashes

her signature blue lightning symbol 

poshness

"I love women. I like them as friends, as interesting people to speak with. But I love gay men. I always say it. Inside me there is a gay man who wants to come out!"

well said victoria. i feel the same way too. :)

i love this mrs. officer look

so posh

but she looked way better circa 1997 during the spice world tour. i was such a huge spice girls fan that i bought the tapes and original metallic colored cds, watched the movie 'spice world' and was about to watch their concert when rumored to have a stop here last year but was canceled. i just hope when they do a concert again they're not yet spice grannies.

girl power ;)

bebe gandanghari

She's everywhere. From the time i saw his err.. her interview and ramp at startalk to blogs of fashionistas, celebrity gossip's and everyday people's. She's now becoming a pop culture because he was then a hunk actor, girls swooning over and even married a beautiful young actress. He's the first ever popular transvestite in the country which used to be a taboo. It helped that he was pretty (figuratively and technically) celebrated back in the day. And now the advertising industry who goes with the flow with trends and should do everything with a bang uses her as the host in the creative guild's Kidlat Awards. Good manager or pr person who handles him.  

the pink sisters

i so love pink. pink is the color of a woman. 

i was told that there's a near convent at my office where you can give special intentions and they will pray for you. so i went in times of feeling hopelessness.

the chapel is so peaceful and serene. i was delighted to see the nuns wearing pink and that's what they are known for, "the pink sisters." i wasn't able to talk to them and see their lovely gardens because it's lunchtime when i went there. mom and ate told me that they are very nice and accommodating. i'll sure go back and visit them at st. joseph's convent, dona hemady corner 11th street, new manila, qc.

Musical Work : "Ang Huling El Bimbo" by Ely Buendia

it's almost midnight and there's a delivered mcdonald's. i am pretty much hungry from my workout and so tempted but no. i have to fight the temptation. as i am controlling my food intake, i swore not to eat fastfoods. but this really witty commercial caught my eyes on its first sunday break. as an ex-member of the advertising community, i may say that this will win them an award. they did their strategic planning well that targets the yuppies in our generation who are the consumer of this fastfood chain. creative-wise, it has no branding in the copy/script but all logos/location is obviously branded. it's soft sell. the commercial jingle used is "huling el bimbo" by the 90s beatles of  the country, eraserheads. basically the song itself is catchy and popular that relates to the unrequited love concept. kudos to the team. i'm lovin it! ;)

push it

okay.. patience is a virtue but i need to push it. i've been working my ass off in the gym for almost two weeks now but it seems like it's not enough. my trainer told me the effect will take after two months but i think it's too long. a co-gym member has been doing all the classes offered and after two weeks she lost it. mine is half of what she lost since i only took the half of the total package. makes sense. well for now all i can do is stay focused and know what to do next time.
