Yabang Flip Flops

March 4, 2010 – 4:00 pm
Filed under dear sosyalera, pet peeves

sana po gumawa ka din ng article regarding sa mga may account sa any social networking sites na nagpopost ng mga picture ng sangkaterba nilang havaianas. akala siguro nila sosyal tingnan ung mga ganun e.

yun lang po. salamat.

Akalain nyo nga namang may naglilitrato pa nito hanggang ngayon samantalang Spartan at Beach Walk nalang ang value ng Havaianas para sa karamihan. Para sa concerned citizen na ito, ‘wag kang mag-alala dahil outdated na ang pagyayabang nila.

If you’re really a certified flip flops addict, you shouldn’t just buy a certain brand just because it’s popular. Honestly, the quality of my first Havaianas (2005) is totally different from the latest pair I bought. It kind of degraded. And I can say that other flip flop brands may surpass their quality. Here are some of them:

Grendha
Designed with gems, stones and embossed prints. It can replace your flat sandals without looking too casual.

Flojos
Flojos stores sell varieties from rubber flip flops to fashionable glittery sandals.

Fit Flops
Hey show offs, eto ang kolektahin nyo. Fit Flops are not just your ordinary rubber slippers because of its platform design and durable material. Price ranges from 2990 to 3490 pesos.

Sa totoo lang, Havaianas ang gamit ko sa pang-araw araw na buhay – paglalakad, pagpunta sa mall, pagda-drive, pamalo sa ipis, etc. Hindi ko naman pinangdidisplay. Pero dahil patok parin pala ang picturan ang Havaianas, eto ginawa ko na rin…

Kaso isa nalang ang pares ng Havaianas ko, ni-camera trick ko nalang para kunwari marami din akong Havs. Sosyal!

Wenk.

Pinoy Cast of Characters

March 1, 2010 – 4:00 pm
Filed under movies, tv programs

Isa ako sa milyung-milyong Pilipino na hindi mabubuo ang araw na hindi nanunuod ng TV. Kung anu-anong series na nga ang nasubaybayan ko mula sa sosyal na Gossip Girl hanggang sa pang-masang Rubi. At sa ilang taong pagkahumaling ko sa TV at local programs, may mga artista at karakter nang nabuo na sa isipan ko na mukhang hindi na magbabago. Yung tipong unang tingin mo pa lang sa artista, kahit hindi mo alam ang storya o iba-ibang programa man sila masali, ay alam mo na kung anong role nila:

Dick Israel - Gumaganap bilang lasenggerong kumpare o kaya manggagantso.

Jason Abalos - Ang role nya ay 3rd wheel sa isang relasyon. Wala kasi syang ka love team kaya kadalasan sawi sa pag-ibig mula sa bidang babae. Kung hindi naging pari si Dominic Ochoa sa May Bukas Pa ay sya na ang 2nd runner up sa karakter na ‘to.

Alessandra de Rossi - Nagmamaldita o kontrabida. Laging pinagkakaitan ng pag-ibig at naninira ng relasyon.

Ryan Eigenmann - Bad boy na mayaman. May tendency na mang-rape o makipag-basag ulo dahil hot tempered sya o lulong sa drugs.

Kitkat, Tuesday Vargas, Kathleen Hermosa at Nikki Valdez - best friend ng leading lady na laging may side comment. Kadalasan, baduy at colorful sila manamit.

Beverly Salviejo - Maingay na tyahin o chismosang katulong.

Kris Aquino - pa-goody ang karakter. Kung anong kinadaldal at taklesa nya sa paghohost ay sobrang lamya at pa-drama ng kanyang mga role. How ironic.

Chinggoy Alonzo - Ang rich daddy. May kaakibat na Don sa unahan na pangalan neto. Kadalasan ay may sakit sa puso at pag namatay ay pag-aagawan ang kayamanan nya.

Lilia Cuntapay - White Lady.

Marami-rami pa yan, paniguradong may naiisip ka rin. At in fairness, swak naman sa acting at itsura nila, pwera kay Kris. Mas makatotohanan ang dating ‘di tulad ng mga artistang mainstream – mga mestisong gumaganap bilang iskwater o conyong mayaman na baliko naman mag-ingles.

Meet the Parents

Hi!

I really find your site helpful especially in the fashion section :) I just want to ask what type of clothing can I wear in meeting “the parents”? :) Thank you.

Trx

Dear Trx,

Good day! Basically, meeting “the parents” should leave a good impression so stay simple, that’s it. Although, your outfit should also portray your personality. For example, if you’re a girly gal, stick with a light sundress or any dainty clothing. Then if you’re the casual type of person, wear a blouse and slim jeans.

Pick light colors like pastel shades, white or peach. For an updated fashion, tulip dresses are all the rage this season.

Two-toned Sunglasses

Filed under accessories, fashion

Everyone can now feel the summer heat and February hasn’t even ended yet. So bring out your protective gears like umbrellas, sunblock and of course, sunglasses. Sunglasses or shades don’t just protect your eyes from the warmth of the sun; they can also serve as a fashion accessory or hide your crying eyes just like the artista shades.

Two-toned sunglasses are hip this year, whether they’re aviators, over-sized, or biker shades.

Hello Leyn,

Good day!! I’ve been reading your blog during the past week and I’m proud to say that I’ve read all your posts. Hahaha! Very informative at nakakaaliw yung mga banat mo. I hope regular ka pa rin magpost at tumagal pa lalo ang domain mo.

Anyway, here goes my problem. This is Ann nga pala at ang aking simpleng pangalan ay kasing simple rin ng aking personality. I’m pretty much the shy kind of girl. Very simple lang rin ako manamit. Natutunan ko nga sa post mo na kung simple lang yung clothes, you can still make it fasionable by accessorizing. So right now, I’m thinking of improving my fashion sense through accessories. Gusto ko sanang humingi ng tips on how to pick the right kind of accessories for me and on which setting would it be appropriate.

I hope you can help me with this Leyn. It will be very much appreciated. Thank you and God bless you always. :D

Monobrow

Regardless of being practical, I’m a sucker for high-end fashion that’s why I draw inspiration from designers and magazines, either local or international. And as I was doing a bit of a fashion research, I discovered that Vogue Germany (March 2010 ish) has featured a timeless model, Claudia Schiffer, with a Monobrow look.

Monobrow = Parang isang mahabang kilay.

They say it’s Frida Kahlo-inspired, beautiful and fierce but seriously, it looks disturbing to me. I hope this Monobrow style won’t be a trend. It reminds me of someone from my childhood…

Sino bang hindi nagdaan sa mga nakakatawang written games tulad ng FLAMES at MASH na nagsasaad kung ano ang magiging kapalaran mo sa pag-ibig? FLAMES = Friends, Lovers, Affection, Marriage, Enemies, Sweethearts. MASH = Mansion, Apartment, Squatter, Haunted House. Ang mga larong ito ang nagbigay dati sa akin ng kakarampot na pag-asang may patutunguhan ang pagka-crush ko sa isang cute na classmate noong elementary. At kung saang bahay kami titira kung kami ang magkakatuluyan.

Unfortunately, hindi na uso ‘to sa mga kabataan sa dami ba naman ng mga online love quizzes na pwede mo sagutan sa facebook. But just so you know, bago pa man din magkaroon ng mga online quizzes na yan ay may nauna na… ang LoveCalculator.com. Para lang syang pina-sosyal na FLAMES.

Naaliw lang ako dahil lumipas man ang isang dekada ay buhay pa ang website na ‘to. Sinubukan ko ulit tuloy. At dahil sa mga resultang lumabas, pakiramdam ko ay accurate sya…


Because of the divorce rumors, they may not be that perfect.


Obviously…


Some things are just not meant to be.

At syempre sinubukan ko rin sa sarili ko…

Shet, i knew it.

Behold! The latest and most talked about fashion of this season…

Pick bright colors like yellow, orange or pink to stand out among the crowd. Take in mind to fit the right size to emphasize your figure and no worries because footwear isn’t necessary for this trend.

Valentine Gifts

February 5, 2010 – 5:00 pm
Filed under tips & suggestions

Valentine’s Day is fast approaching. I know a lot of emo singles prefer to skip February because of this day but instead of sympathizing with bitter people, let’s give a chance to couples who are in love.

For those who are in a relationship, are you running out of valentine gift ideas? Tired of the same stuff? Chocolates? Flowers? That’s okay. But make sure to come up with something new from the usual love gifts. Here are a few gift suggestions, then and now.

Everyone loves Ferrero Rocher but just like fashion, go with the trend and give your loved one a box of Royce Chocolates instead.

No offense to teddy bears but they’re too common. I bet every girl (or boy) has their own collection of bears given by different people. Replace this idea with an interacting pet like a bunny or a handy tamagochi. Haha.

Girls are usually clueless on what gift should be perfect for their boyfriends. Think of something that he won’t just ignore or keep in his closet. If you have the budget, look for USB flash drive and portable mouse with Valentine-inspired designs. Cheesy, but at least techie.

Hallmark cards are touching and better than electronic greeting cards though a piece of personalized doodle is the best gift note that’s worth keeping…

…but if you include a gift certificate together with the doodle letter then that would be way huhmeyzing.

I think the value of Valentine gifts should be more on the quality rather than quantity (unlike Christmas and birthday gifts). Consumable and practical gifts are better than useless things that could just add up to your personal trash. Kasi kung magbibigay ka lang ng kung anu-anong pandisplay, ibabalik nya rin sa’yo yan pag nag-break o naghiwalay na kayo.

Take it from the expert. Lol.

This is not a film review of Paano na Kaya because obviously, the trailer itself already tells the plot of the movie. It’s just a conventional teenybopper love story with pick-up lines like “It’s not you Bogs, it’s me”.

Paano ko nalaman? Dahil napanood ko, bakit ba. Napansin ko lang na habang pumapasok kami sa sinehan ay may mga pa-kunwari pang nahihiyang manood. Kesyo may sinasabi pang “bakit kasi ito pinanood natin, ang baduy blah blah…” samantalang di naman kagandahan ang get-up nila at kung makapag-salita ay di malaman kung san pinulot ang accent. Bibili-bili kayo ng ticket tapos mag-iinarte kayo. Chura nyo! Lol.

Samantalang ako, ngiting-ngiti pang pumasok sa sinehan at may baon pang french fries with softdrinks. Haha.

Marami sa atin ang may ganitong attitude, kunwaring pa-arte in public. We’re all jologs in a way, please. At kung ayaw mo talaga ng mga baduy na bagay ay panindigan mo. Hindi yung tipong ‘pag wala ng tao ay tutok na tutok ka naman sa mga tagalog movies kapag pinalabas na sila sa Cinema One.

Sporty Fashion

Filed under fashion for less

Not all women are born prim and finesse so we can’t deny that there are boyish girls out there. Alpha-female, tomboy, whatever the right term is – either they find dainty things too gay or they feel that an assertive character is more endearing. I came up with this post because a few of my email senders confessed that they’re not the girly-type. But even though there are some who don’t prefer the pink and flowery fashion, there are these sporty styles that will make a boyish gal look fab – jumpsuits, dark colored nail polish, and laid-back straight hairstyle inspired by high-end brands for 2010 fashion trend.

Bold accessories are in. This is even proved by trendy wide necklaces and thick belts. Below is a Prada couture but cheaper alternative of accessories can be an inspiration for everyday wear.

hi leyn :P
wenk feeling close. haha.
i really like your posts, lalo na yung mga jologs pictures. thankfully sa friendster pose lang ako guilty. wahaha :D anyway, im graduating from college sa march, and i was wondering if you could help me pick the right dress and shoes and give me an idea on the right hair and makeup. im 5′4, 108 lbs. long hair, fair skin, chinita. 7am-12nn yung grad namin, so malamang sa oo e ako na lang mag me-make up sa sarili ko. :O ayun. thank you in advance :)

Hey there,

Don’t worry because most people who visit my site are up to the jologs ideas because everyone can relate, including me of course. I remember during my graduation, we were making fun of some girls who wore dresses longer than their toga. (Yes, I’m one of the mean girls back then.) Anyhow, because you’re graduating from college then I guess you’ll be in a black graduation gown. Let’s start from there.

You may think that it doesn’t matter whether you wear a spaghetti, tube, off-shoulder or with-sleeves dress because you’ll be in a toga. But to avoid fixing your graduation gown all the time, pick a sleeveless or spaghetti strap type. A simple and straight cocktail dress is enough…
