The other night after eating a garlic noodle/salt and pepper-infused dinner at PPQ, I was surrounded by my friends fiddling with their iPhones, Blackberries and all of that other techie cell phone jazz. I, on the other hand, was looking at my Nokia. It’s plain. It doesn’t have a camera and it dates back to [...]

I am still on my Beverly Hills 90210 kick and I am on the second season and I have stumbled upon so many good episodes including the Emily Valentine craziness (believe me, I’ll get to that later).
Anyways, I was watching the episode titled “Chuckie’s Back” where Steve has a run-in with his childhood nemesis (and [...]

Me: KNOW
Marques: Wait, I heard about them making this
Me: YES
Me: it comes out this fall
Me: with thandie newton playing cunnilingus rice
Me: too soon
Marques: I will sleep [...]

This is so wrong. A couple of weeks ago, my friend Jen sent and article I wrote years ago when I worked for The Battalion at Texas A&M University titled, “Fall Fashion: What’s HOT & What’s NOT”.
Yes, I went to one of the most conservative universities in the nation and no, I don’t know [...]

This is quite exciting. I love hearing Filipino accents. It premiered last night and unfortunately, I don’t get the ETC channel.
What a great way to represent the homeland! I wonder if this Pinoy version of Pro-Run is going to have a BARONG or MARIA CLARA challenge. Or maybe a Tinikling costume challenge. What if they [...]

Many of you may already know that I have this current obsession with 90210. Maybe it’s because the spin-off is coming out soon. I know for damn sure that it won’t live up to the original, so for the next couple of weeks (or until I finish the first season), I’m going to do an [...]

So this week, the designers had to make a garment out of “green” (aka eco-sensible) fabrics.
Sounds a little boring huh? Well…that’s what I thought too, until there was a little twist: the models had to pick the fabrics! What a way to fuck with the designers, huh?
When the models came back from Mood with their [...]
