It is my pleasure to be part of the newest Neurobion Philippines' Digital Ad Campaign. After approximately 2 months, I am very excited and thrilled to see the result. It was my very first time to witness how a commercial was made. Well, I've been auditioning and attending casting calls because being on-cam is my thing and my goal, but the farthest I got was final screenings. Though, I was still feeling lucky to be part of it as a stylist off-cam because it gave me ideas on how to move once I got my projects already in the future. #claimingit #fingerscrossed. Thanks to my good friend Philip Malala who tagged me along for an extra hand. I am so happy that he is now doing what he really wants. 

Another thing which made this experience unforgettable was that we were able to style and work with Director Paul Soriano who just got married with TV Host/Actor Toni Gonzaga. He was so kind for letting me do a mini-interview in the dressing room while we were waiting for his next frame. I must say that he was inspiring and that he deserves what he has right now. For just a small conversation, he was able to share values to me which I think other people must know as well. You may check the video on the latter part of this post. I know, you are welcome. :)

As for Philip and I, you may check what we have done in between sets, eating, styling, palying, posing and eating on and on and on. I just love commercial projects already. LOL

STAR MAGIC BALL 2015 BEST DRESSED

Just when the fashion month is starting in New York, ABS-CBN's Annual Star Magic Ball 2015 gave us some fix for the season's freshest trend. Of course, everybody would try their very best, but only few will surely stand. Here are the list of the best-dressed attendees to this year's ball.





Maria Venus Raj, covering the red carpet. Everyone in the room should envy her almost perfect human form.




Nikki looks regal in this mermaid gown.

#BEYDAY, A WORLDWIDE HOLIDAY FOR THE GODDESS WHO IS BEYONCE

There is one quotation in my life which up to right now I follow and I mean very earnest to my heart. The very guide to my life and whole-being.

Always be yourself, but if you can be Beyonce, Be Beyonce! 

Explanation: Because BEYONCE. End of story

Now let's all summon the spirit that made us all kneel down to the only Queen B.



All the following performances were live and I think it is best to judge a singer via their live performances.

Even before, she have shown the world that she could still perform flawlessly in any form of harsh environment or situation like hair-stuck-in-a-fan or around a flaming stage.

TODD SNYDER SPRING-SUMMER 2016 / NEW YORK

Seeing Todd Snyder's collection makes me watch it so closely. Like, just look at his line-up of models, just gorgeous. The looks were oozing with masculine sex appeal and the casting did not fail to bring the story to the next level. Sexy, clean and complete, Todd Snyder.

TIM COPPENS SPRING-SUMMER 2016 / NEW YORK

I am always a fan of clean details and tailoring and this collection kinda gives me "ART". You know that cliche, when Art and Fashion collides. Tim Coppens gave it a cool try for the streets. The pieces were young and fresh. Colors were also there and something you can try for the Summer till it last.

ROBERT GELLER SPRING-SUMMER 2016 / NEW YORK

I can not explain it but something makes me want to wear these pieces without thinking twice. I can imagine wearing these on my trip to Thailand and ride an elephant. Or, aboard a small boat and see what's around the small islands of El Nido, Palawan. The colors perfectly match the blue ocean or the virgin forest, the red sandy desert or the grey rocky mountains. Each moment will surely be editorial with Geller's design.

RICHARD CHAI SPRING-SUMMER 2016 / NEW YORK

I love it every time Western materials get an Oriental twist. Richard Chai just warped the formal wear into this street-ready look. It has been happening around the fashion corner but Chai has another version for us to see. Gone are the days of super fitted clothes and say hello to baggy and loose pants. Wearing the collection would make me feel like I am in the streets of Harajuku or Seoul. 

OVADIA & SONS SPRING-SUMMER 2016 / NEW YORK

Talk about sleek and crisp details on styling. Ovadia & Sons definitely brought the game of normcore to the next level. It is so delighting to see white pieces paired with denim during summer. Not to mention, the leather jackets and coats when the temperature goes cool. There you have it, ensembles to keep you cool while waiting for the Autumn-Winter shows.
