Is it just me… or there’s something wrong with this ad?


While having random conversations with my friends, I came to realize that I’m not alone…

Kato: whymenlovewhisper.multiply.com… bwahahaahahahaha
Leyn: ang weird ng commercial na yun…
Kato: oo.. pag malaki ka na tapos may mens ka na sasampa ka pa ba sa balikat ng boyps mo??
Kato: may mens ka tapos nakadikit yung crotch mo sa batok nya habang tumatalon talon sya. erk. squishy yun.
Leyn: naka puti pang pantalon eh no.
Popoy: nung bday ni gerald pinasalamatan nya yang whisper.
Leyn: may linya dun pag buong commercial, “you know why gerald love whisper?”
Leyn: parang sya gumagamit eh no.

Wahaha! Thanks to these concerned people who inspired me to post this. I just hope you get our point. :P

Well hello there, it’s my Birthday!

Sa lahat nang mga nag advance greet, naka-alala, nagtetext, tumatawag at kung anu ano pa… MARAMING SALAMAT! Isa ito sa mga masasayang taon ng buhay ko, at syempre sikreto kung bakit.

May ilan din akong kaibigan na nagpunta sa aming bahay para icelebrate ang aking kaarawan. Maraming salamat sa inyo…

Sa aking pamilya na lubos ang suporta sa akin, sa aking mga best friends at sayo, kilala mo na kung sino ka… maraming salamat. You guys made me feel alive again.

Wahaha. Drama?

At tulad nang dati, ito lang ang araw na ang aking entry ay COMMENTS ON. Minsan lang to, parang eclipse… :D

I saw this familiar looking top in my mom’s closet and asked her where she got it. Sabi niya, she bought it from our maid para makatulong. Huh? I was very sure I already saw it somewhere pero nakalimutan ko lang na para bang dejavu…

…tapos isang araw habang gumagala sa mall, nakakita ako ng 2 magkaibang babae na nakasuot nang parehong pink & brown blouse na ‘yan.  Nakwento nga rin ni mommy na hindi nya susuotin ‘to sa labas dahil may nakita rin syang kaparehong damit habang nagsisimba. Then I just realized, it was one of those recognizable clothes from Natasha.

This blouse is sooo everywhere. And so far, I’ve been seeing a lot of people wearing these two designs:

Inexpensive and convenient: reasons why people are hooked with RTWs from AVON, Natasha, MSE etc. Well for girls on a budget, I’m not totally discouraging you to order from these sellers. Perhaps you could just pick those plain looking shirts to be safe.  The disadvantage of buying clothes from “walking catalogs” is that you could bump into someone with the exact same dress.

Eck. Awkward diba? :S

Petite Problem

Dear Sosyalera,

I am one of your million fans here sa net. From blogspot plang, you already got my full support. I am happy that you got your own domain na. Apir! Long live sa iyong dotnet.

Since model ka, I assume na biniyayaan ka ng tangkad and wala kang problem regarding clothes. Hay buti ka pa. Yan kasi ang problem ko, I only stood 4 feet and 11 inches lng kasi. My body is quite proportion and I dont have any problem about that.Yung height ko lang tlga nakakasira. Super hirap ako maghanap ng right clothes kc nga I am short. Sa petite section na ako nagsho-shop pro nightmare prin ang mga jeans -especially ung mga skinny-jeans. Halatang short ang binti ko. lol. Sa ngayon, I try to run away from jeans and look for other options. Any suggestions leyn? thanks!

Alea

Dear Alea,

Thanks for supporting! Wish ko nga lang eh million talaga ang readers ng blog na ‘to at nagiging piso sila lahat. Haha! Anyway, much appreciated!

Actually, I’m not über tall. My height is 5′6 lang. Fair enough compared to other *giant* ramp models. Though my thin and long arms make me look skinnier so I expose this asset. Basically, you have to be conscious of your lean parts and know how to flaunt them.

Tips for Petite Fashion:

1) If you’ll be layering clothes or dress in several pieces, you have to stick in one color. Dark tones like black, navy blue and maroon can make you look slimmer…

Photo Polished Much

I’m really captivated with posters and billboards applied with neat Post Production effects. I think Penshoppe Billboards for this season look nice with their sun kissed models and white wigs. I’m just not sure who’s the girl on this photo that gives the downside. Maybe the designers we’re too preoccupied polishing photos so the skin texture was so perfected that celebrities are hardly recognized.

Relating to this, Picture editing for ads doesn’t have to be crucial if you have beautiful  models with perfect skin. Just like these layouts…

“Ice Queen”

Photographer: Ely O.
Model: Joana Tan

No Photoshop enhancement applied here. Looks like Anne Curtis, right? But no. Sure bet she’s sweeter than Anne. And thanks to the lovebirds for lending me the photos. ;)

Last weekend, I watched  You Changed My Life with some friends para maiba naman ang kajologang trip. Well, the movie is erm… cute. And Star Cinema indeed has a thing with Weird Hairstyles.

I understand, having a trademark hairstyle can be a technique for the characters’ personalities to be remembered. Pero, sino ba namang maglolosyang na buhok like these, especially if you have the face? Are wigs included in costume design? Then I give the designer 1 point for effort.

Hay nako, they should have hired my friends instead…

Try blonde.

Barbie Doll turns 50!

It’s the 50th birthday of the world’s most famous doll! But even though Barbie’s now 50, she still looks perfect, elegant, fashionable and literally plastic. Anyhow, I’m not aware that the Barbie Doll “look” has evolved na. Medyo naging chinky ang mata at naging realistic ang face.

To give tribute to Barbie’s 50th year, Mattel introduced a new doll edition for 2009. And now I want one!  Parang Hollywood Celebrity ang dating and it’s specially made for Barbie Doll Collectors.

But the world isn’t kind to plastic dolls. Barbie also had controversies before. I had my mom’s first Barbie doll and I noticed that its old version had nice looking body with curves (minus the detailed genitals of course); compared to the modern Barbie with box-typed torso and false-figured boobs.  Yun pala, for the past years, cases had been indicted that Barbie Dolls are being used for sexual acts and pedophile exploitation. Wenk! So, Mattel Inc. changed her sexy form into a doll-looking built so perverts won’t abuse this child’s plaything.

And now on youtube, there are Barbie porn videos where dolls are naked and dubbed by sick people. Haha. Ang sagwa… and looks so wrong.


Pero kahit gawan pa sya ng scandal, I still adore this toy. Apart from all the Hannah Montana and technology craze, I’d still buy Barbie Dolls for my future daughter someday.

Happy Birthday Barbie!

Dear Sosyalera,

Dahil expert po kayo sa Fashion, sa inyo na lang ako hihingi ng advice about it. Hehe.

Nahihirapan ako pumili ng damit na babagay sa akin. Ang get up ko lang po madalas ay tee, jeans, flip-flops/sandals – which I know is baduy na lalo na sa panahon ngayon. I’m 17 year old, medyo skinny with curves ang katawan ko. Can you tell me what clothes will fit my body and the best store to shop for those? I also love layering clothes and I want to ask advice of what clothes are best for layering. College student po ako at nag-aaral sa school na walang uniform kaya nagi-struggle na talaga ko kung ano susuotin ko.

As much as I want to wear shorts outsides, I can’t. Kasi may mga scars ako na nakuha ko nung high school which are visible lalo na sa kulay ng balat ko (maputi). Can you also recommend any medicines/lotion na pwedeng pang lighten ng scars that really works?

And kind of unrelated: Magkano dapat budget whenever magsa-shopping?

Thank you so much Ms. Leyn and more power to Sosyalera!

- Den

Dear Den,

As you can read, a lot of full sized people are having problems with choosing their clothes as sizes are limited. With your case, you might be feeling uninterested with the usual tee & jeans outfit however having skinny built isn’t a big problem. Diba nga, models almost starve themselves for thinner bodies so they can fit in size 0. So enjoy, you can wear almost everything!

Isang araw sa YM, habang nagrerecommend ako ng website para ipakita ang layout…

leyn: o nakita mo na yung site?
tantan: oo pang babae yung content e
leyn: yaan mo na, fashion site yan
tantan: nagbabasa na tuloy ako ahahah
tantan: teka ano yung LBD?
tantan: LIBIDO?
leyn: gago!
leyn: Little Black Dress
leyn: HAHAHA
tantan: naman yan malay ko ba! may lbd pa kasing nalalaman =))
leyn: lalaki ka nga :) )

Ewan ko ba, natawa ako bigla at na inspire iblog ang moment na ‘to. Minsan, may mga terms na hindi maintindihan ng mga lalaki and vice versa. Mismong mga kaibigan ko nga eh hindi maintindihan ang ibang terminology ko dito sa sosyalera. ‘wag kayo mag-alala, hindi ako nagpapauso. Sadyang may mga salita lang nakakalito at iba ang kahulugan depende sa mambabasa. Tulad ng mga sumusunod:

Mary Jane – hindi ito drugs o pangalan ng porn star, isa itong klase ng sapatos. Kadalasan ay rounded ang tip na para bang doll shoes.

Chikankari - hindi ito tagalog ng Chicken Curry, isa itong klase ng embroidery.

Gore - hindi naman ito sugat. Tawag din ito sa isang klase ng accessory na nilalagay sa palda para magkaroon ng extra flair.

Mule – kung ikaw ay lalaki, iisipin mong isa itong alcoholic beverage. o kaya’y uri ng hayop Para sa mga fashionista, isa rin itong klase ng sapatos na walang strap.

Lapel - bukod sa maliit na micropono, term din ito sa isang style ng damit na kung saan may extension ang collar at nafofold depende sa trip ng nagsusuot.

Tulle - hindi yan circumcision at ito ay pronounced as tool. Isa itong klase ng silk fabric na ginagamit sa mga damit. At syempre, hindi ako maglalagay ng picture ng tinutuli diba. Like ew.

Jogger - hindi ito ang tawag sa taong nagjojogging. Wenk! Term ito sa 1-piece swimsuit.

Mermaid – Sirena? Hinde! Ito yung klase ng palda na hapit mula bewang hanggang lower-knee tapos may flair effect sa laylayan.

Bolero – lalaking mahilig mambola? Pwede, pero hindi. Isa itong jacket na maikli.

Tanga – o wag mo dibdibin. Hindi yan literal. Yan yung mga high-cut na panty na nauso noong 1990s.

Akshali, marami pa ‘yan. Akalain mo nga namang fashion terms sila diba? Kaya hinay hinay lang sa pag-iinterpret. At ang LBD nga pala ay Little Black Dress pertaining to black cocktail dresses na pinausong term ni Coco Chanel.

:D
