Bohemian Fashion Enhancement

Thanks to the folks at Basement salon I ended up
with just another bohemian fashion enhancement.
I kinda like it although I have to change the red
eyebrows back to normal. People started staring if
you know what I mean.
A designer gets his parameter set, an
artist sets his own.

050129 Cruisin', not for bruisin'
ALL ABOARD the luxury liner that
is spelled with a capital G—Gucci at Greenbelt
4 showed off its Cruise collection via a nocturnal
showdown of bubbly and booty.
Bamboo bag handles, vintage-inspired
logos, metal bag charms and lots of pink make this
collection perfect for that weekend Tali trip or a
visit to your next door neighbor's jacuzzi party.
The "launch! launch! launch! party! party! party!"
crew was in full force, cruisin' the collection that
was built on pastel and floral hues. To balance the
fun, fully made-up matrons rushed to the cash registers
and took the "kerching-kerching" route to
happiness. Georgina Wilson, with her
angelic ray-of-light presence, was the hands-down
head turner of the night. For 'It' couple, it was
a toss between Borgy Manotoc and Ornusa
Cadness (who's half Thai, half Kiwi) and Mike
Huang with new girlfriend Kathy Yap. Inquirer's
Alex Van Hagen and Super!'s Andy Maluche took pictures
of each other for fun.
Jenni Epperson was hopping around
the Gucci gallery shopping for "Good Finds,"
her smashin' new TV show on the Lifestyle Network
while Vicky Zubiri stylishly wore her sunglasses at
night. Oh-so-resorty!
So step out of your air-conditioned refuge
and check out this collection and be the talk of the
next pool party.

in hong kong named "ping pung" .
2. Andy Maluche -- a versatile German artist
who is a professional photographer, painter, sculptor
and comic artist.
3. a living Mud Crab
My friend Ka Ming from Hong Kong publishes a online
and paper magazine called : Pink Work.
I find it extremely cool but check it out for yourself:
I asked the waitress for a ball pen and
she stoot next to me kind of expecting me to write something
down.
At that point I didn't know yet what I wanted to write
so I wrote this. At least I didn't look stupid.
Sometimes I write in the bathroom because I am too shy
to write in public.

050115 A cry for…HELP! …the
victims of the tsunami
There is almost nothing that isn't funny.
That has been my life philosophy for the longest time.
It is still mostly true although as hard as I try
I can't find anything funny about that huge disaster
that hit our neighbors.
Hey, its perfectly alright for you to go out tonight
and have some fun.
There is no point in feeling guilty about that.
But maybe, later when you are about to order your
next beer or mocca latte
pause for a moment and remind yourself about all those
people who probably still don't really know what hit
them. Then, take that money you earmarked for that
drink and put it in a separate pocket. On Monday you'll
send it to one of the many organizations who are helping
those people, ok? If you do that for me I'll hereby
graciously allow you to order you next drink and I
hope you enjoy yourself tonight because it won't help
anybody if you feel miserable too.

Some idiot was telling me
that the art thing ceases to be fun
when you have to do it for a living.
Fuck you, you asshole!
You are not taking my fun away.
In the last weeks it happened a few times that I
partied my ass off and then I couldn't find it anymore.
To be on the safe side I decided to tattoo my home
address on my ass.
If somebody finds it they can send it back.
I am up to my neck in speculation but
that's a lifestyle
WHAT: Premier
of Mano Po 3.
There were so many shining stars that I had to bring
some sun glasses for everybody just in case. And since
it will be published on New Year I thought some blowouts
might be appropriate as well. You never know when
those can come handy.
WHERE: At the upscale cinema 10 of SM Megamall.
WHO: You tell
me, you know those guys better than me.
WHY: About 16
years ago Vilma interviewed me on her show. I was
one of the Mega Hunks. Then, she promised to buy me
some popcorn as long as I agreed to never to come
back on her show again. I kept my promise and I thought
this premiere would be the perfect occasion for her
to fulfill her’s to me. When she laughed me off,
I just talked to her husband Senator Ralph Recto and
when that didn’t work I asked Christopher De
Leon for help. Well, to cut a long story short, I
didn’t get any popcorn.
