Simply Obsessed

I am obsessed with what Victoria Beckham wore to LAX as she went to London for the opening of Viva Forever The Musical.
It's JUNYA WATANABE COMMES DES GARCONS CAPED TRENCH COAT! LOVES!

She accessorized with some Guiseppe Zanotti shoes, Rose gold Rolex, and a pair of oversized Cutler and Gross sunglasses. It shocks me that she didn't wear a dress of her design, not even the sunglasses! She has an amazing sunglasses collection! I am in love with the Victoria Beckham Audrey Sunglasses and the Chunky Aviator!!!! ;D

W./E. REVIEW

I've been very busy lately that's why I haven't been updating my blog but I had time to watch a movie. Can you believe it? It's W./E., the directorial debut of Madonna. So here's my review. I wrote this while I was watching the movie so I apologize if there are grammatical errors. Overall, the film had the great story but you might not quite get it due to, I'm sorry to say, Madonna's directing. :(

W./E.
- I don't get the Wally Winthrop story. I wish they just went with the Wallis and King Edward story. I
mean what was the point with all those research if only a few information is in the film.
- The shots were kinda off and like what the? I mean, there's a scene wherein David says to Wallis he will
marry her and all that while circling a tree, then after that the camera goes up to show the viewers a
tree. I mean, what's up with that? It felt amateurish.
- God, they smoke a lot not just King Edward but also the guard at Sotheby's what's-his-name. (Evgeni)
- Maybe it's because I've watched "The King's Speech" before W./E. that's why I think the actor that portrayed Bertie was kinda atrocious but I am comparing him to Colin Firth who won an Oscar for
that role.
- I don't get the part where they are dancing and a rock song starts to play. It was a wrong choice for
me.
-The part where King Edward delivers his abdication speech feels like a music video.
- The story was great. I just hoped there was more focus on the life of the Duke and Duchess of Windsor. It would be nice if they included more about their trips and meeting Hitler and stuff.

Rating: 5/10 Sorry Madonna! I still love you, though!

WASTED YOUTH

This was taken during the 21st birthday of one of my high school friends. We celebrated at Tides near ABS-CBN. I actually don't know bars so please forgive me. Anyways, God! What a night! Fun and booze! Haha!

And Tides has this "gift" for the birthday girl. Choco Topps with Banana on Top. And my friend pointed at me and said I eat it. And then, the boy holding it put it over his pants near his "you-know-what". OK OVER HIS PENIS! And  I was like whaaaa???? I WISH YOU WERE CUTE BUT NONE OF YOU WAITERS ARE! :)))))

Anyways, I wanted to have a night and day photo for this but with all of us being drunk (me not so much hihi!) and this night photo:

 THE PHOTO SCREAMS EPIC FAIL! HAHA!

 REMEMBER TO BRING SUNGLASSES EVERYTIME! I KNOW, I KNOW! WHY DID I FORGET?????? :(((

Artwork Shirt, Mogao jacket, Human pants, Milanos shoes, Mossimo socks, Parisian clutch

PS: My secret to not being that much drunk: WATER! Drink lots of water! I got drunk because of those chocolate shakes that I think has 45% alcohol! haha! So instead of vomiting the alcohol, you urinate it. BUT YOU DON'T DRINK AGAIN! :)))

What to wear to work...

Well for all the fresh graduates that has their first job right now, I would like to congratulate you! And now, you might be asking... what should I wear? Well, thanks to mint.com, here is a picture showing tips on what to wear! Good luck and have fun! :)

How to rock the Rayban Wayfarer!

SO... you gt yourself the Ray-Ban Wayfarers? What size? Is it 50 mm or 54 mm? I prefer than 54 mm because they're bigger and you know me, I like them BIG! :))

While people have established that Wayfarers look good on anyone and on anything. I'd like to disagree. Here are three evidences that they don't look good on everyone!

 Kourtney Kardashian

 I love the House of Harlow Nicole, Chelsea, and Sasha sunglasses but this Ray-Bans are not for you girl!

 You're so 3008 we're so two thousand late! But still, we look better in wayfarers than you do Fergie Ferg!

And... while you know the easiest way to go out is just either wear a dress, or a tank top or shirt with sorts or slouchy pants then put on your wayfarers and you look cool. But I suggest you wear your wayfarers (and any other sunnies quite frankly) while being a bit dressed up. You wear something nice okay? :))) Here are some suggestions to inspire you! :)

UPCAT

UPCAT 2012 is on August 4-5, 2012. And my sister is taking it! Go girl! Haha!

I saw her form and she wants to take BS Architecture or BS Business Administration in UP Diliman. Kaloka! Anyways, I passed her application form and boy was it a day!

1. I paid at PNB and it took me like 20 minutes til I paid for the UPCAT Application Fee (Php 450 + Php 25 pesos processing fee)
2. I rushed back to OUR to submit the forms. Thank God it took me like 5 minutes to fall in line and submit it. I thought I would be outside the OUR and wait for hours.
3. HERE'S THE HARDEST PART: We have to wait and get the test permit. I passed the forms at 10:45 am. I got them almost 1 pm. SERIOUSLY! Apparently it wasn't a first come, first serve basis. It's random. Depends on how it was filed. And I'm like whaaaa????

Anyways, I only knew of this now because when I took the UPCAT, my school took care of all of these for me. I went to Quezon City Science High School, Regional Science High School for NCR (National Capital Region) TARRRAAAYYYY!!!! And you know when it comes to science high school, it's like you're required to take the UPCAT! :))

So, there you have it. If you're going to take the UPCAT next year, my tips are:
1. Pay the application fee early!
2. Rush to your school principal and have your form 2 filled out!
3. Go early! Early bird gets the worm! :D

These sunglasses go with everything! Love!

Commuting to Greenhills and Divisoria

I am a proud commuter and I think I know my way around the metro (except for Taguig). There's little public transpo there haha. Anyways, there was an email that said
"IF YOU DON'T OPEN THIS, YOUR PC WILL EXPLODE"
I WAS LIKE, HAHA! I'm using a laptop!
But still I opened it just to be safe and OMFG! It says...

"Hi Markness,
Just wondering how you commute to Greenhills and Divisoria from your place"

I was like---> WHATTTT????

PS. I READ ALL YOUR EMAILS YOU GUYS NO MATTER HOW SILLY THEY ARE. I APPRECIATE IT ;)

So, I'm gonna answer your question
GREENHILLS.--> There's only one way I know how to commute to Greenhills to be honest
1. Ride the MRT and go down at SANTOLAN STATION.
2. If you came from the North (North Ave, Q Ave, GMA-Kamuning, Cubao), then all you have to do is go down the stairs. If you came from Ortigas Station and above (Taft Ave.) you have to go up the stairs and cross the high footbridge. :D
3. Then go straight ahead then turn right on the first corner. You will see either people lining up or jeeps that says "Greenhills." Pay minimum fare and go down "Shoppesville." Simple as that. :)

DIVISORIA. I have a lot of ways.
1. From my house, I ride a jeep to MCU. Then ride a jeep that says "MCU-Divisoria" THERE!

OR...
1. Ride the MRT, go down at Cubao Station, go to Gateway until you are at the LRT-2 STATION. Ride the train and go to RECTO STATION.
2. As you descend the station, you will see jeeps that says "Divisoria" Pay minimum fare. Usually, you can only get until Tutuban due to traffic but Divisoria is just a few walks ahead ;)

OR...
1. Ride the LRT. Go down to Doroteo Jose Station, go to the bridge connecting LRT and LRT-2. You will enter Recto Station. Go down the stairs.
2. As you descend the station, you will see jeeps that says "Divisoria" Pay minimum fare. Usually, you can only get until Tutuban due to traffic but Divisoria is just a few walks ahead ;)

Hope this helps ;)
If you have other routes, you can out it in the comment section. You're free to do so! ;)

COMMUTER UNITE! :D

PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK

This has been long overdue no?
Anyways. here it is.

I WENT TO PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK LAST MAY 26, 2012.
I visited 2 shows
1. Grand Allure Collection
2. Chris Jasler - Veejay Floresca show

Like a typical fashion week, in one seating you get to see more than one designer's collection.
Anyway, what I noticed
IT WAS UNGLAMOROUS. What a front. When I went there I didn't know that you have to fall in line, and with first come first serve basis, IT WAS UP ALL OVER AGAIN. So there I was in my outfit, falling in line. Good thing for my iPod and my notebook (from Starbuck's ;) ) I pre-occupied myself with music and writing.

Here were my notes:
- We look like hot messes.
- Apparently, I'm still dressed down.
- Lots of sheer maxi-skirts (so last, last, last season)
- Girls wear heels so high they just drag the shoes (tiis ganda!)
- A lot of people are cutting in line, uncivilized much?
- A lot of fashion dont's*

* I WANTED TO TELL THEM THAT LADY GAGA'S CONCERT WAS OVER. HAHAHAHAHAHA! THAT'S HOW FASHION DON'T THEY WERE BUT TO HELL WITH IT, IT'S "FASHION WEEK" GO!

So the first show I went to was by:
Chris Jasler
Melchor Guinto
Philipp Tampus
Veejay Floresca

They presented a 35-piece collection each.

REVIEW:

BAZAAR-BAZAARAN

Bazaar-bazaaran means "faux bazaar" or "pretend bazaar" and that's what I felt last Saturday.
I went to two bazaars. First, was the "Great Luxe Sale." Just by the name, I was enticed. Wow! Luxe! TARAAAYYY! And the admission was free! WOW! LOVES IT!

I DID NOT EVEN TOOK PICTURES BECAUSE OF MY UTTER DISAPPOINTMENT.
FOR A BAZAAR NAMED "LUXE" I CERTAINLY DO NOT EXPECT BIG SPACES FOR PENSHOPPE, PLAINS AND PRINTS, OXYGEN, MEMO, FORME ETC. I DON'T CONSIDER THEM "LUXE" NOR DO I FEEL LUXURIOUS WEARING THEM OK?

SO THAT'S WHY IT WAS FOR FREE?

The next one was at World Trade Centre. One jeepney away from SMX so fine.

The admission fee was Php 50 and they give you this ticket "Admit One" which is like one of those school fair tickets. Right then and there I should've suspected...
Anyway, it was the Megabrands sale and look at the poster!

WOW! A LOT OF BRANDS! THAT'S WHY IT'S MEGABRANDS. But usually, when people put up the brands there, it means they have a space to sell their products. AND WOW! I DID NOT SEE ANY OF THEM. They were just perfume, and I doubt they're authentic. And, you see they said "THERE'S EYEWEAR." All they had? Those Hello Kitty frames that bugs me to death as to why people want to have them and Rudy Eyewear. I want to tell them, "THAT IS NOT WORTH PUTTING THERE."

THEY HAVE THE NERVE TO CHARGE ME PHP 50 WHEN THEY CANNOT DELIVER THEIR PROMISE? HOW DARE THEY? I CANNOT BELIEVE THAT THERE ARE LEGAL WAYS OF RIPPING PEOPLE OFF.

HAVE YOU EVER BEEN FOOLED BY BAZAAR POSTERS? TELL ME ABOUT IT . GOSH THEY'RE IRRITATIONG AREN'T THEY? >:(

IS THIS DIY-ABLE?

Christina Ricci in a Christian Siriano for Timex watch dress.
Imma need a lot of watches to make this.
Maybe on a jacket no? :)
I think I got my mojo back! or zing! WHATEVER! I'M BACK! :)))

MDNA TOUR REVIEW

After watching countless Youtube videos, I can say I have a complete review of the MDNA Tour.

Watch out Madonna fans, spoilers ahead.

NOT BACK ON MY ZING YET!

Now, my email (itssomarkness@yahoo.com) has been flooded with "Why no updates?" email with some even saying "Are you dead?" I swear I was laughing and happy with all the concern from the readers. Well, I'm telling you...
I'M LIVE AND ALIVE...
Just not back on my blogging zing yet!

If you're going to look at my Blogger account, it has a lot of "drafts" all with fashion topics and I can't quite seem to finish them. It's like I need inspiration or something or I'm just sooo bored to tears. Anyway, I'm trying to blog with sunglasses on (yes I'm that desperate to recover) but I seem to be checking out ebay and otticanet for sunglasses so that I'll be able to buy them. Anyways, what I'm trying to say is I'll update this but not as daily until I get my zing back. I swear I'm trying my best. Anyways, thank you for all the emails. I really appreciate it. I thought this blog was just something I would share to random people but now it seems that I have readers. Readers that check my site to update themselves on me or just check out my random opinions on things...

ANYWAY I WOULD JUST LIKE TO SAY!
HURRAY! SOPHIE WON ANTM 18 HAHAHAHA!

She's my bet to win and finally! All my bets seem to be 2nd placers only but Sophie broke that streak. I think Laura lost for 2 reasons:
1. Kelly Cutrone's vote is for Sophie
2. Laura seems to always have "JABAR" or you know, sweat on the underarms. Watch ANTM and for every segment with Laura, she always has JABAR and to think she wears a gray shirt? OMG! :))))


There... thank you guys! Love you lots!

GRADUATION BALL

Now I am officially part of the unemployed population of the Philippines! Anyone wants to give me a job? haha! Anyways, this was the last day that we were together as batch! The Graduation Ball! The theme was Setting Sail: Caribbean Cruise Night and everyone was encouraged to wear something with the theme. And I didn't! hahaha! Well, I was on my own world and since this was the last time I might go all FASHION with my outfits, I pulled out all the stops. Not really! Hahaha!

I really love the short suits trend! I am so obsessed with it that I've been wanting to wear it to an event and well, this seems a perfect opportunity.

The inspiration: Diane Kruger in Jason Wu; Victoria Justice in Elizabeth and James; Gwyneth Paltrow in Giorgio Armani. I wanted to emulate Diane Kruger's so here it is:

AN EYEWEAR CAMPAIGN THAT MAKES ME WANNA BARK!

It's the Diesel Spring 2012 eyewear campaign! Enjoy! :D
