Thor: The Dark World Screening by Nuffnang and GLOBE (+ Review!)

Being a fan is not that easy. Browsing on Google, checking out interviews on YouTube, and spending most of your time online for updates in Twitter.

Oh yes, I was struck by the Hiddleston fandom after I watched Thor: The Dark World. (Hiddlestoners? Anyone? Welcome me to the club!)
 Believe it or not, I just knew/appreciated him after his performance as Loki in this movie. I wasn't really a fan of Thor or any Marvel movie... but I think this moved me.

Well, thanks to Nuffnang and Globe for tickets to Thor: The Dark World 3D screening last Oct. 30 at Newport Cinemas, Resorts World Manila. It was such a great treat during my sem break to be with hundreds of Nuffnangers and watch an amazing film. And YOU are the culprit to my fandom right now!

At the same time, GLOBE introduced their FREE FACEBOOK promo to all GLOBE and TM users!

One thing that kept me from posting this early is that I had to watch Thor 1 to be able to write and review appropriately. At first I wasn't really thrilled to see this film-- just with the 3D glasses though XD but I was really wrong and late! I didn't have a hard time coping up with the characters of the film, I've seen the brothers Thor and Loki from the Avengers movie and it was really a different take from there. Thor is more matured here and his romantic relationship with Jane Foster sparked up in this film... well we haven't seen much from The Avengers, have we? I really love that "slap". So romantic. EHEHEHE. Meanwhile (okay I can't stop laughing because of EHEHEHE), Loki became less evil of a villain... more of a mischievous comedian god. It's really Loki's Comedy Movie! Kidding aside, Tom had to take a twist from his evil plans of conquering the earth to help his brother. And his role in here is waay too good from the first and The Avengers! He's so lovable villain.

Twisted. Very cunning and funny. Teary eyed in the end. Great effects and storyline.

Spoiler? There will be a THOR 3. There should be.

The photo on the left was taken maybe a month ago from the Runner Runner screening also by Nuffnang and GLOBE. I asked my father to take a shot of me with Loki (I didn't know Hiddles that time), but since that I really find him amusing. Sadly (*insert a really sad face here*) there was no Loki poster on RWM, so I just managed to be with the thunder god.

Oh well, that's all! I hope you will watch it on the big screen too. If you could see the BTS on YouTube (fandom thing) you can see how hard it is to ever create that awesome scenes. Not just talking about effects, about everything, including stunts and the portrayal. One of my friends had been just accepted to BA Film and I hope him to be very well. Being a director is no joke.

So that's it! Hope you could drop by and leave me comments!

Philippine Fashion Week Day 4 : Long and Lazy

Hello!

The most awaited season of all fashionistas and bloggers around had came yet I was so lazy. No no.. don't get me wrong-- I'm really excited to what our local fashion designers have to present but some factors during that day drained my enthusiasm. First is the time of the show, 2:30pm! I have planned my outfit for the PhFW but then (I think) it's not applicable and very awkward to wear at daytime when the sun's shining very bright and it's hot. So I had to search through my closet again to wear something more "applicable". Second is the very untimely coincidence of road reblocking along EDSA!! It's like it's the only day I'll go to PhFW and arrghh!! Hello looong traffic!
And the last is that the head lights of my father's motorcycle was inoperative so we can't stay until dark and we have to leave SMX early.

Whew. But then I managed to go and meet up with my HRIM classmate, Irish! :)
It's her first time to watch PhFW and look! Loved her  outfit!




Bringing out the sexy back!

Here's my earthy "lazy" outfit. Haha XD

Even she has to endure the heavy traffic along Buendia, and still looks fresh!

We attended the show of Anthony Ramirez, Chris Jasler, Lizanne Cua, Melchor Guinto and Randall Solomon. It was worth the travel to see the works of 5 designers!

Here are their designs:

Anthony Ramirez's Sous La Lune collection
If you've been following Anthony Ramirez's Instagram account, you've already known that these clothes are now worn by celebrities like Danita Paner and Karen Bordador. Who wouldn't love the cuts and structure play in these designs? These kind of designs are so "red carpet ready" with minimalist and sexy design and celebs haven't recovered from the sheer and peek-a-boo trend yet.

This is the one worn by Karen Bordador. :)

And this is my fave! Loved the color and the black accents and the ruffles!

Ruffa Mae Quinto for the finale, wearing an off shoulder gown with strategic peek-a-boos that accentuates her curvaceous body.

The designer, Anthony Ramirez with his muse, Ruffa Mae.

Chris Jasler's Collection
His collection is a ready-to-wear smart casual design-- using jeans and shirt layered by formal pieces like polos and jackets, but with a hint of grunge.


This man came out wearing a very clean and neat outfit, then after a second, they dimmed the lights and someone was putting grease (or black paint, am not sure) in some parts of his suit!

And here's the result.










I loved how his designs are wearable, edgy and polished. I mean, it's a transition outfit like if you have a meeting in the morning and a casual date in the evening, just take off your jacket and you're good!




Chris Jasler, designer.


Lizanne Cua's Sibylline collection

We had minimalistic and edgy from the previous designers, now we will have a futuristic sans black and white. Lizanne Cua's Sibylline collection consists of colorful and color-blocking sheer, flowy and reflective textures. Perfect for summer in the beach, when you want to enjoy the sands in the day and the beach party at night. For sure you will stand out.













What's nice is that you can avail of her designs at The Vatican in Podium! Hmm.. want to try out some? :)






Lizanne Cua


Melchor Guinto's Collection
At the first picture, you might just deduce that it's a retro-inspired, and prints collection.



But the thing is their footwear,




they're wearing bakya! :)




You might think that it's just fine, because it's Spring/Summer Collection, and the girls would really love to wear bakya during that season.

Guys, I dare you.

To wear a suit,
a fresh looking formal outfit like this
(but in fairness, I loved the tiger design :)


wearing bakya.



Yep, all the models are wearing those. And we are the one's feeling uneasy for them.






Melchor Guinto



Randall Solomon's Collection
Fairies. Magical. Wedding.
Three words to describe Randall Solomon's collection.
  Intricately beaded gowns, embroidery and patterns, you will really feel dreamy and like you've been transported to a magical place. But the last few designs were in the shades of white and cream, perfect for magical weddings too. :)



Marina Benipayo opened the show with a beautifully embroidered gown.




And this is my fave from this collection! Feels like the petals have showered on her and have not left her dress. Awwww....







Also to close the show, Marina wore a beaded gown with a long ruffled tail.


Their headdresses remind me not only the forest fairies but also of a bride's veil.




I'm sure every bride-to-be wanted to try out some of his designs (even I wanted to take it all home and fit them! Hahaha XD ).



So that's a wrap! The Filipino designers are really creative and world-class when it comes to fashion! Let's support their shows and patronize their works. After all, it's Filipino made! Tatak PINOY!SLR selfies!



Love lots!

Shoe Designer for a Night

               If you're wondering why I've been MIA even if I already got internet connection and sem break has started in UP a week ago... it's because... I got sick and I am finishing my commitment to my college newsletter which will be launched on the first week of classes.
 But I really missed blogging! So here's a back-to-blogging post I wanna share with you!

  When creativity strikes, you shouldn't let it go! Especially when my mother started bugging me to "fix" her sandals. It was actually from my tita's friend and just gave it to my mom, she accepted it because they had the same size with her hopes that my "creativeness" could do something in this.

So here I am, a shoe designer for a night.



Think you could wear this sandal in this state? My mom wouldn't!
She wouldn't for months. I think. Especially when I tried to paint the wooden circles to try out (the other pair was the guinea pig) . So she started bugging me this sem break to finish what I've started.

The cover of the sandal is plastic, with 5 faded wooden circles and rusty metal circles. At first I really do wonder what was it like when it was new? It's not really my type of design of shoes. But there must be something that encouraged the previous owner to buy it.

Anyway, My mom doesn't want an OA design. Just, you know, to "hide" the 5 old circles. I used cheap materials to stylize this old sandal. Since I have an accessory shop business, I have a lot of wires and stuff. I also stocked bottles of paint for personalizing button earrings. So that's what I used: Wires, spacers, acrylic paint and super glue.

And this is the result,



TADAAHH!!



I painted the wooden circles with white and covered it with bronze spacers.Not yet contented, I added spiral flair with the bronze wire.

Tip: The super glue is not called SUPER for no reason. Be careful not to stick your fingers. Swear, it hurts.

Who would say that it's the same faded and rusty sandal, eh?
It's not

And now my mom likes to wear it now! Hoho!






Achieved ba?
