My 2011 Year-End Report : PART 1 of 3

Sneaking a text before the PFW shows start!

My goodness! How time flies! How is everybody doing this January 2012? Scratch that, more like FEBRUARY 2012!!!  Honestly, I barely felt the holidays... Not that I didn't try to immerse myself in the Christmas Spirit... But with work and deadlines, a death in the family and all my other extracurriculars, time was really the enemy!

BUT you just have to keep going right and make the most out of everything?  SO I know that I've been more than remiss in updating my blog so first off, A BIG THANK YOU to my online friends who have been so nice and sweet as to leave me messages while I was on my blog hiatus! Reading them, really warmed my heart! Secondly, as I had promised, I'll be posting my backlog posts from last year in a 3-part post!  (Talk about going back in time, like way back cause I'm talking months here! HAHA) Though I hope you'll enjoy this trip down memory lane with me!

That said, here we go...

CHEERS!

PFW SS 2012 Day6

October 27, 2011

It was all bout Lace and Leather for the MEGA team on the 6th day.  With the cray cray happenings at the office, I just pulled out a lace number from my closet and kept it simple that day.  Now, I dunno if I've talked about it enough but my sister, BEYA, is very crafty and she made these feather earrings just the night before!  (Isn't she the BESTEST of the BEST?! :D)  Now I hope my haggard interior doesn't show too much in these photos! 

CHEERS!

PFW SS 2012 Day 7

October 28, 2011

You could have guessed it right and the theme for the MEGA team that day was Citrine! Just timely might I add since just a couple of days prior PFW, I fell in love with this neon motorcycle jacket.  It looked so refreshing I didn't even think twice about the purchase.  

On top of that, the dress that I wore that day was designed by me and my sister for our brand WHITE CALF.  It's a made-to-order dress that can come in solid colors or prints! (And yes, White Calf is slowly branching out to making fashionable and trendy dresses for your one-of-a-kind needs! OK more of this on a later post!  BUT if you want to order this dress, just leave us a message via our facebook page: facebook.com/whitecalfco)

Anyways, if you haven't noticed my style yet, I'm not really big on going girly a lot of the time.  While I love dresses and florals and the occasional ruffles detail, I tone my burst of femininity with loose pieces so it could be a jacket, a blazer, a vest or what not.  So here's a peek at what I wore that day to the shows.

OH and hope you can like this outfit post via my Chictopia account : http://www.chictopia.com/photo/show/592535-Citrine+Story-motorcycle-cc-00-jacket-cutout-white-calf-dress-oversized-white-calf-bag

MEG Up & Coming Celebrities

November 4, 2011

Its been on for quite awhile now that MEG Magazine is revamping and is no longer the teeny bopping magazine from when it started.  Like its audience, MEG has grown up and these are exciting times for both the magazine and its loyal readers!  I am truly honored to be a part of this change and was extremely thrilled about telling everyone about it.  

So last November, MEG held a party series themed "Up & Coming".  It was every Friday of November at the KYSS Bar where it was a celebration of successful young women and the most stylish and influential young movers of this generation.  Young celebrities, fashion designers, university it-girls and fashion bloggers hosted the weekly events. 

Young celebrity sisters, Lauren and Megan Young were the featured ladies for the first Friday.  It was a great kick off with guests treated to a fashion show by Jellybean.  Also hosted this event and styled the sisters for the night!

Host Post : The GLEEks Are Back!

Was tempted to bring home Blaine's tarp... If only I had a bigger bag! 

And once again they're taking over your Wednesdays!  GLEE is on to Season 3 and last Sept 21, ETC and Jack TV opened the season with a bang with 3 simultaneous screenings at the Gateway Cineplex!  I took over the Nivea Screening and it was crazy awesome!  ETC and Jack TV gave away gift certificates, gift packs and... 2 flip corders!  At some point, I was just ready to hand over the mic and join the games and win that flip corder! HA  The games tired me out though coz I had to run around, play "dodgeball" and host in my heels!  I swear I should have come prepared and by prepared, maybe did some warm ups and stretches before starting the program, yeah?

Anyhoo, if you were there that night, I hope you had a great time hanging out with us fellow GLEEks!  When the next one will be, only ETC and Jack TV can tell so stay tuned and keep watching GLEE every Wednesday live via satellite at 4PM with primetime telecast at 9PM!  (Its become a habit with those details you see!)

Will not forget my thank-you's of course and they go out to - Ivan, Joanne, Ilette and the ETC family; Mikki and RJ with some Nivea love and especially Paul who I got to leech some photos from for this event!  Check out his blog : http://paultheprguy.blogspot.com/.  The low-res photos were taken by my trusty iTouch so please bare with the quality!

For now, this is L.A. GLEEking out!

Host Post : Happy 3rd Anniversary ADORA!

Honored to be invited back by ADORA's Ma'am MTP and Sir ETP a second time!

Reading through and getting the details right! :P

LIKE this look HERE <3

HAPPY 3rd ANNIVERSARY ADORA!

The ADORA SHINDIG, an event that was booked 4 months in advance, was done one Tuesday afternoon (August 16, 2011) and what a celebration it was!  

At 8AM (and with an overwhelmed me), The Gallery at Greenbelt 5 was already wide awake with excitement as the Adora Family readied themselves for their Cheer & Dance Competition segment.  With a total of 6 teams, we had: WEED (Adora-Balls), AMETHYST (Adora-Belles), NOBLE GOLD (Jurassic Sparks), COBALT (Charge to Recipients), ALUMINUM (Charles' Angels) and BLOOD (Dominatrix) vying for the the ultimate winner to be announced by the end of the event. 

Plus, there was the much awaited awarding ceremony which recognized the hardworking men and women that make Adora.  While some may not think much of getting praised for their work, its always a nice feeling to know that the company that you work for appreciates you nonetheless. 

Also, a day before the shindig, Adora had its first ever Amazing Race which kicked off in Adora Pasig Office to the Stella Luna store in Shangri-La Mall and ended at Adora Greenbelt 5.  The race was wicked cool with cameras following the different teams and with challenges that got tensed and nerved with excitement.

I have to say though, I especially enjoyed checking out the DIY outfits of the Adora staff which were just too adorable.  It always amazes me what a pair of scissors, safety pins, ribbon and the magical double sided tape can do to one plain shirt.  

Having hosted an event with them last year, it was heartwarming to hear that they were hoping to have me host another event for them.  Many thanks to Ma'am MTP, Sir ETP, Ma'am TYB, Ma'am RRT and to the ADORA Family for their energy and cheers. 

Hugs and kisses to my Mami Tisha Rosales and Ken and Ms. Pia and Tito Joff for another very successful event!  I mean, who says work and play can't come together right?

So excited for the next one!  Dare I say, Adora's 4th Anniversary? 

CHEERS!
