Movie Shirts

Wednesday, July 23rd, 2008

Got this as a gift from a friend who recently visited Thailand. He gave me 2 others, Taxi Driver and The Godfather. I like the packaging. It can be used as a canister for pencils, pens, rice, coffee, donuts etc. hahaha

I Hope the printing won’t be easily damaged. Fabric quality looks like it can stand 100 washes, on the 101st, it will crumble. hahaha

Hermès

Wednesday, July 16th, 2008

 

When I first saw The Devil wears Prada, I was just having fun with the macs they used. GEEK. I know. Anyway, I watched It last night again and now I’ve noticed, My eyes now look at the clothes & styling and now I actually understand the story and not just what macs & other gadgets they’ve used.


I am now familiar with what brand of paper bags the assistants are carrying, who  made what. well… somehow. I now appreciate fashion in a whole new dimension and all the things happening around it. This all started I think when I got interested in fashion photography. 



Last Weekend, I received a Hermès cologne. It has this serious vibe that makes me think I can’t smile when I’m wearing them. It smells a bit like your dad’s cologne but I really like it. If this was given to me like 2 years ago, I wouldn’t use it. I just want the ‘light’, ‘young’, ‘fun’ scents back then but now, I appreciate the ‘dark’ ones too. Now I want all of the Hermes Perfumes. So if you happen to want to give me a gift, You know what I want. It should be wrapped in a Hermès Silk Tie HAHAHA

Pepper Lunch

Tuesday, July 15th, 2008


I finally got to eat at pepper lunch. I don’t have any idea what exactly I can eat there and why is it everyone is talking about it.

Ordered the pepper beef rice something, double beef. Forgot the exact name haha. While ordering, there are medias that tells you have to cook it on your plate. quickly turn over the meat coz it cooks fast and miz it with the rice (for the meals with rice). And while your at the counter, they will get you a seat already. Now that’s customer service :)

 

I like the concept. It tastes really really good too! Can’t wait to try the other meals.

The only little gripe that I can complain about is the price. I spent P300 for my meal. I mean, I know it’s not another food chain but what I ordered is I believe one of the cheapest meals. A little price drop will be better so that I can eat more often hahaha. 

You know, food is not on top of my priority, Clothes and shoes is. hahahaha

Moleskine Bandwagon

Saturday, July 12th, 2008


They say if your an artist or a person who happens to work in a creative field, you SHOULD have a moleskin!

Well, I really am not that sure about that statement hahahaha. I’ve been wanting to buy a moleskin notebook before but I find it too expensive but now that I guess I’m a bit aware why it has such price tag, I finally bought one. 


I like the quality of paper. It’s kinda similar to that of the muji notebook that I got for like 10% of the price of this moleskin. But hey, this one’s a planner! 18 months! It’s just like paying Php 1.40 cents per day! Im really justifying the cost coz It’s so beautiful. hehe


l

look at the quality :) I just hope I will be able to use this. I currently have 3 notebooks in my bag but those are just plain notebooks. I have to use this one. 


 

ART DIREKTAAAAA

Thursday, July 10th, 2008

It’s been almost 2 weeks since I quit my job. Last night, the traffic head of LOWE called me and said they already have a contract for me. She just said I’ll be a consultant now meaning, my salary will now be regular coz I won’t be treated as a supplier. BTW, LOWE is really notorious for not paying suppliers on time.

Anyway, I came at the office to take a look at the contract. They already considered my demands and so much more! I’m now an ART DIRECTOR! with some perks that a regular employee doesn’t have. I don’t have that Health benefits etc but it’s all good. Im perfect, I won’t have sickness ever. hahahahaha

I’m thankful that all of this is happening. My transition from a trainee to a designer to ART DIRECTA was fast. I would like to thank our GOD, my parents, my partner, my friends, the neighbors, aling puring, aling simang, aling susan, ka boy, ka joey… and all. BWAHAHAHAHA

00001. Fine Finds. Folded and Hung Basic Polo Shirt

Sunday, July 6th, 2008

First got a bright green one when I wanted a colorful top while strolling in the mall. Personally I like classics with no brands as much as possible.

After a couple of washes, It’s still intact. 

When I saw it again, there are more colors! I wanted all the hues! BTW, they have like 10 saturations per hue.
