Not so long ago. PFW'09

I am now in the comforts of being free. For Now. I can do the things that I want without second thoughts unlike months ago. I am taking my time to recall the happenings that transpired for the past 3 months that I was idle.

Not so long ago... I attended and was invited to watch The Philippine Fashion Week @ SMX Convention Center. Thanks to Tita Jackie through Aisha for the invites and Jeng a friend of emz. It's a different feeling being there watching these models walk their walk. The revealing outfits, the silk fabrics and exquisite designs that encapsulates their body is just breathtaking. I remember vividly. I was with Emz, my heart was beating and pounding so fast while riding a cab from Buendia to MOA - I don't know why. We were anxious days before the event of what clothes to wear. Ofcourse, We don't want to look awful in-front of Manila's socialite.

The eager crowd.

Every lines on her forehead and veins in her hands are worth capturing. I love her. ;-)

Sarah G. The Next One Concert

Last August 21, 2009. Sarah G had a concert held in the USA gym. I was just luck enough that I got a platinum complimentary ticket and backstage ID courtesy of Gordie, who happened to be the master of ceremony of Sarah G's The Next One Concert. Having a friend who works in the media have its perks. ;-) Thanks Gordie! I owe you big time!
While waiting for her turn on stage. She's charming and sweet in person. I am such a fan. BTW I so love her dress. She is wearing a magenta tube gown with a baby blue plastic belt. It accentuate her figure. Am not sure of the designer though.

This is gordie! I was seated beside him during the entire run of the concert. Ergo, I can smell all of the celebrity guests of Sarah G. hehehe

with Mark B. Not that handsome just so-so. But I so loved his butt - so toned. hehehe

With Hassete Uy of the G-Force. I love his chinito look.

@ Afriques, Smallville. This was around 1 am. We had late late dinner. I was so hungry that night.

Ms. Universe (Back-to-Back)

Ms. Universe 2008
Miss Venezuela, Dayana Mendoza

Ms. Universe 2009
Miss Venezuela, Stefania Fernandez

First time in the history of the Miss Universe Pageant that a country won Ms. Universe in 2 consecutive years. I have no doubts of the caliber beauty of the products from Venezuela, they are consistent to be on top from recent years. It is the country to watch every year in the Ms. Universe Pageant. I am just in dismay that our very own Bianca Manalo did not make it even in The Top 15. Many Filipino hopefuls were rooting for her. I have noticed that this year, no one from Asia made it into the top 15. So sad! Oh well let's try our luck next year! ;-(

I'm back.

It's been months that no posts were made on this blog. In my last entry I wrote that I will be taking the Physical Therapy Licensure exam, which I did last July 25-26, 2009 in MLQU, Espana, Manila. Results were in 3 days after. I'm saddened and in dismay. I did not make it. The almost 4 months of reviewing did not pay off. I was confident enough the last exam (PT Applications) that I will make it - not that its easy but I just have the feeling. I guess and my friends are correct in telling me that it's not my time yet. I know that there are people who are disappointed in my failure, some are vocal and others are just quiet. But what hurts me the most is that I was not able to give pride to my family. I will not cry or feel bitter in my disappointment. I am OK. I am actually better than before. Believe me! ;-)

Now, that the agonizing days and nights of reviewing are over. I ponder in so many things. It's true when they say that when you grow in your mid twenties you thought of how your life should turn out to be - that is when you opt for a career that best suits you. Considering in a country crying for a good and sustainable economy. There are only less chances you'll have to be successful and fulfilled. I was able to figure out my career and how my life should leap into success. I'm saying, not here in my native land. It hurts to think of it and sounds unpatriotic, but it's a fact.
