Dear Leyn

Im only 15 and 5 feet tall at medyo chubby ako, ano po ba ang magandang fashion ngayon para sa shorts dahil laging shorts ang suot ko tuwing aalis ng bahay at ano po ang mababagay na sapatos at damit. Mag bigay ka ng magandang store sa SM at bigay ka ng fashion tips para sakin.

Thank you and God bless you.

love lots
Kath

Dear Kath,

Oh hey kid. Hehe.

The tops/blouses appropriate for shorts depend on the shorts’ length, prints and style. You should be collecting different kinds of short pants so you have a variety of options. For example, if you wear knee-length shorts, a casual shirt fits better than a dainty looking blouse. On the other hand, if you prefer a girly outfit, most chic blouses look better on mini shorts unless you wear the high-waist style…

It’s almost Christmas and a lot of people have been googling about Kris Kringle Ideas so I might as well post some of my senseless suggestions. Last year, I posted an entry about sa Mga Regalong Nakaka-Umay and I hope this time, people would bother to give something more personal, useful and creative to their monitos and monitas.

Something Soft
Initial ideas that come into our mind are cute and fluffy displays like stuffed toys and useless plushies. Since a lot of people have been staying in the office most of the time, it’s better to come up with something that can give comfort to people stuck in a cubicle for 8 hours.

Suggestions: Neck Pillow, Stress Balls, Thermal Socks, Bedroom Slippers, Bra Padding (lol), or if you’re rich – a Rubber Boat

Something Long
Forget about kitchen utensils because it’s not a wedding gift. Make an effort to know your monito/monita’s leisure. He/she might be into fashion, music or books.

Suggestions: Belt, Skinny Neck Tie, Leggings, Drumsticks, Guitar Strap, Earphones, ID Lace, Bookmark

Something Small
Think of something compact yet functional. Anything that has something to do with travelling and communication is one good idea because people prefer to bring smaller things when they’re on the go.

Suggestions: USB Drive, Travel Toothbrush, Bluetooth Headset

Something Round
I’d suggest a gift that can be for everyday use. Perhaps anything practical or you can use at home.

Suggestions: Lock & Lock Food Storage, Steering Wheel Cover, Fitness Ball

Something Funny
That plastic poop available in Blue Magic is not funny. Enough said.

Suggestions: Statement Shirts, Tagalog Humor Books, Retro Wigs

I’m not a fan of the Twilight Saga and I haven’t read any of its books. Pero dahil hindi ako papayag na wala ako sa uso ay nanood ako ng part 2 ng Twilight, ang New Moon. We were laughing the whole movie time especially that we were seated next to screaming fan girls and gay people who kept on whispering side comments whenever there are shirtless guys on the scene. Laugh trip.

I’m pretty sure some of you have already read some reliable New Moon reviews so I won’t take this seriously. There are just a few points that caught my attention:

Bakit tuwing lalabas si Edward Cullen ay slow motion ang effect? Okay sana yung unang scene na lumabas sya para may oras pa magtitili ang mga fans. Pero even on the 2nd, 3rd, 4th appearance, slomo parin ang paglalakad.

Bella stands too close to anyone who talks to her. Parang may kissing scene sya lagi.

Sorry Team Jacob, pero hindi sya close-up material.

Ang cheesy nung setting na tumatakbo si Edward at Bella sa woods. Once more, in slow motion.

Walang masyadong aksyon at puro salitaan, but who cares? Mapapansin pa ba ito sa kabila ng walang humpay na scenes ng mga machong lalaki na may perfect torsos?

Ang cool ng mga man werewolves, naka-shorts and rubber shoes lang buong movie, umulan man o umaraw. Amazing!

And again, never ending exposures of topless boys flexing their pecs.

This movie is recommended for Twilight fans who are so in love with the princes of the book (or for some plain viewers who just want to see a bunch of shirtless men), but for casual moviegoers like me, I guess not. Regardless of the dark concept, cheesy lines and emotionless acting, I’m still watching the next movie and hoping for improvements…

…and less abs.

To add volume to your figure, wear a horizontal striped top for it is more fitting especially if you’re skinny. On the other hand, vertical striped clothes are recommended for fuller bodies. Know the basics!

Thanks Xyla for this fan sign. Much appreciated.
