Silly Things Brides Say

January 15th, 2012

I am just browsing my Facebook right now and saw a friend’s wall post about a video with the title “Sh*t Brides Say”, curious enough I watched the video and it was freakin’ funny! It’s true though, from the movies, girlfriends, acquaintances that somehow I get to crossed paths with before their wedding day have said at least one from what they have mentioned in the video.

I think it’s because of the excitement, the adrenaline rush of living like a princess for a day. I don’t know, I don’t get it (well, maybe because I haven’t been engaged), I don’t get all the extravagant preparations for a marriage. I always dreamed of getting married one day too, walking in the isle with a long white wedding dress staring at my prince waiting for me at the altar kind of crap! That’s what I get watching fairytales as a kid, but then growing up and going in and out of relationships (whether it be platonic or not), it does not have a happy ending like the fairytales suggest. I know there are happy endings but its not like a glorified ones like that of fairytale scene which most people think their wedding is the closest to that reality.

Oops sorry I’m rambling about wedding and marriage like I know something from it. What I’m saying is that, what matters most is what you feel and not what you make other want to feel seeing you in that expensive gown and eating your best catered food. It’s just another day for them, but for you two who will get married, that is a big change in your life.

Okay, so I will try to understand how excited brides can be when they got engaged. If I will be engaged with someone I love the most then I would be really happy, I wouldn’t care if how, when, or where we will get married (I’m not even sure what would I feel at that moment, there’s no guarantee yeah?) and I wanted a clothing will be tailored to fit me and me trying to fit into that clothing. See, that happens when they spend too much on something not worth spending at. Anyways, I just don’t get it that’s why I find this video hilarious.

Philippine Fashion Week TV is Now on Its Season 4

I owe my friend, Mishale, for not showing up at the last Philippine Fashion Week event held at the SMX Convention Center. I could have shared wonderful photos from the event, but anyway, there’s always next time right? (Although Mishale would not want to set it up for me anymore).

What I didn’t know is that Philippine Fashion Week has its own TV production now handled by Runway Productions which is on its Season 4 now. Yes, on its 4th season and I did not know until I got an email from them promoting the season! Sheez! Oh well, what can I do, I’m quite busy with my travel blog lately and of course, juggling work and travel.

I am impressed how the Philippine Fashion Week has evolved, I didn’t expect they would go this far but I’m proud of where they are and what they have done. It’s like the talents can compete Internationally but its locally produced. I should not be surprised, because Filipino talents are truly world class, why not? There’s Monique Lhuillier, Rafe Totengco, Michael Cinco, Donny Barrios, and a lot more talents that are making names in the industry.

As for the awesome runway show of all time, fashion week will always be cherished by the metro’s fashionistas and for that, I know the Philippine Fashion Week will be bigger than it is now. Keep it up fashionistas behind the success of Philippine Fashion Week! Kudos to all your efforts, it’s bearing fruits, no worries! Catch them every Sunday, 6:30PM at Lifestyle Network!

Sole Sisters from Glampackers to Poorpackers

(Read their cool stories 2 who call themselves, Sole Sisters!)

I stumble upon a cool blog of two fashionistas whose main goal was to travel around Southeast Asia with style, probably thinking then ‘what the hell are these backpackers wearing?’ just like what I did. Then embarking into the backpacking scene trying to prove something about looking good while travelling, I think that would only last for few weeks and that goes for everye who will attempt to do the same.

Lois and Chichi, the sole sisters who admitted how backpacking can really change you. Now, they are self proclaimed Poorpackers from their previous claim, Glampackers. It’s no joke, you get the real zest of life going around countries you are not even familiar with. It changes not only your fashion taste, but you as a person will definitely change too. The fear of losing your way, running out of money, talking to strangers… All of them, suddenly out of the vocabulary to survive(oh its not that bad, I should say, to live by…).

Then a sudden change, turn, from being afraid to bold in looking for ways to make things happen. You start using your common sense and you realize that you can just live with things on your back (backpack) as quoted by my good friend Nicko. I’m so proud with these girls finding their way out of that egotistic world of glamour. Believe me, it’s totally different world out there and its more fun than just wearing uncomfortable stilettos (it’s such a humbling experience). You learn a lot from the experience and from people you meet (I learn something from these two as well), so why not make your learning more interesting? Move around, and let’s backpack around the world!

Unfollowing Twitter Non-Followers is Back

I have been a little slack writing, updating, or doing some work on this blog (I know, I’m guilty!) due to a lot of reasons but in short, I’m busy. First, I was busy looking for a job while travelling around Southeast Asia which made me a little busy to write about my travel escapades on my travel blog. When the backpacking adventure ended I became a little occupied touring friends around coming over to visit, and after that, I went looking for a job (for god sake, I needed a job after that touring around got me really broke!) and of course, I finally got a job.

So you’re wondering why I’m back? Because, I resigned! Oh well, long story…but it’s not really important to you anyway. The good thing is that I’m back putting some work on my blogs now specially here. I started working today, and what I want to do first? is to get rid of my Twitter non-followers that I’m following. Why? It’s just a waste of time, this is business and if I’m not getting anything in return here then what’s the point yeah?

I’m telling you this because I want to share how following your followers work wonders in your blogs. For those who aren’t following me for a long time I am following you and wasn’t doing anything about it, it’s all done and over. It’s time to un-follow you now. What? I have more than 3,000 people I’m following who are not even following me so I’ll start following people who are following me instead. You want to have cool reasons to un-follow or defollow Twitter followers that’s not following you? I have three.

With the help of this amazing Manage Flitter FREE application I saw online, it was easy to do it. It’s program is user friendly too! All you have to do it drag and click un-follow and you can delete 100 twitters at a time. Awesome, isn’t it? It is.
