Sam Concepcion and Julie Anne San Jose Graces The Cover Of PINOY MAG!

Yes they do cross borders.

It looks like teen sensations Sam Concepcion and Julie Anne San Jose just tore down the network wars wall and combined in a one of a kind cover for Pinoy Mag; the country's premier music magazine. To make things even better it'll be on the March - April 2012 issue and I'm sure fans from all directions can't wait to have this particular issue in their hands.

Julie Ann San Jose, a teen charmer from GMA who got me impressed when she sang something when I visited the Party Pilipinas set months ago is surprisingly quite grown up already. She's still hot and paired up with rap prince Elmo Magalona and I think they are trying it out now with someone quite close to her genre of songs. I have seen quite a few who agree to this team up and seen some SAMLIE fans already making a scene in their appearances. Is this something Elmo should be jealous about?! I dunno!

For what it's worth, I think some are seeing this as a threat to their love team although I see this as a great working relationship. Sam Concepcion is no stranger to singing either because he has worked with some of the best ones in the region and in the world. If these two become a pair today, the voices alone would tell us it's meant to be. Would the JulieElmo fans beg to differ? I'm sure they will but what's great is that even if they are from different networks and won in programs that were in direct competition they still had time to get together for projects like this cover for Pinoy Mag. Aren't you excited about what could happen next to SAMLIE once this becomes something more than friendship? I'm as clueless as you are but I am extremely happy that they got to work together, music definitely transcends network wars... its something that the greater good of music can definitely agree with.

Here's a video of the pair singing No Air uploaded by Youtube user/fan AmBootSaImo

So for those who want to grab a copy of this Pinoy Mag issue to check out what they have to say in this whole brouhaha, head on to your favorite 7/11, Mini-stop, Odyssey Record Bars, Astroplus, Booksale, Filbars, NBS, Shell Select, Mightee Mart, newsstands, bookstores and supermarkets nationwide! This will surely sell like hotcakes eh?!

SOLO Summer 2012 Collection!

It's been a while since we've talked Fashion on my site (probably 2 days hehe). So it's high time we do that again but this time we're gonna go back to SOLO that just released shots of their Summer 2012 collection. Are you ready for this?!

This time they are gearing out to the Military inspired tops and bottoms and they are executing them quite well. I have been impressed with their designs but unfortunately I had problems suiting up in my size (yes admittedly I'm that big haha) but the whole spread appeals to me. The jacket in this bit looks more of an aviator reminiscent of those top gun movies we used to watch with Tom Cruise, who in the right mind wouldn't want to look like him?! =) The tops for the women also bares quite light material which will make any summer a tad bit cooler when carried the right way.

The guy's jeans also stayed away from the normal blue ones, it makes this piece a keeper imho. You can have this used in different shirts or outfits plus the fact that it's easy to wear for a couple of days if you are not much on the rough side.

They also are sticking to Earth tones which also would be great as choices become slim these days because other labels are probably venturing into brighter colors. I love the faux leather jacket and the plaid print in its reverse side.

Ladies, looks like you have choices. Animal prints and tops that are quite close to "banana republic" seen above are also available this summer. Pretty descent things you can choose to dress for a semi formal occasion.

You can mix and match using those same animal prints and use a different jacket. It's a definite steal to have this on your wardrobe so you can use it for office or maybe going out after that.

The army inspiration continues with fatigue like fabrics used in this bit. More on the green faded side or quasi fatigue if there's a term for it. Match with a different set of shoes and you can use these for casual wear. You can totally ignore the heat and still dress up for summer, its not an excuse soldier!

Throw in a coat and it would be the perfect outfit to go out on a date in the evening or maybe use it to attend some semi formal events. I'm getting one of those coats and use a crisp white shirt too... isn't that a staple for every guy these days?! The ladies can probably also get those white ensembles and use it with shorts or maybe a couple of pants. It's a free country and its okay to play with it.

Don't you just love the army prints in front of the shirts? Getting that plus a hat and it's a perfect outfit for a fashion forward occasion. I love how they steadfastly went through making this inspiration into something that both men and women can wear. I would really love to wear some of their pieces... I'd impress people with the things they have for the guys. I also thing my lady would be great wearing these pieces they released for summer!

SOLO has definitely made a mark to take a different path this season. You should get this if you want to shy away from too much color. The interpretations are spot on and quite remarkable. Congratulations also to the winners of the Solo Online Model Search Year 3, you look good! Just like the brand you represent! =)

Summer is hotter with Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion, Schick, & Nuffnang

My ideal Nuffnang summer is...

A breeze that would make your summer nights colder, a tall glass of Tequila Sunrise, a beach that stretches around 7 KM of white beach sand and a hammock tied up in 2 coconut trees while watching the majestic sunset happen in its shores. Now how's that for a Nuffnang Summer? =)

This happened just this February. I had a blog hiatus at this time and I just needed a break from all of the stress in the city. This vacation gave me more than what I bargained for because this sunset shots I got just made everything worth it! It's like "Schick. Free your skin." because the freedom I got there totally disconnecting from technology made me understand how much love I have for my self and my family. It's like saying "Banana Boat Sunscreen Lotion. We've got you covered." to me because I felt that everything I did at this time Boracay really gave me the time of my life!

Looks like Nuffnang is going to hook us up again this coming week in HUNGER GAMES. Thank you so much for making our summer a tad bit nicer! =)

I Voted... You Should Too! The BENCH 1M41M Campaign!

What can a single tweet do? What can your statement do in this campaign? In this day and age you probably think it's worthless to just message friends and family. BENCH knows how powerful social media is; and your social network would be the key ingredient to make this particular campaign to work. Simply put it, they are donating through their 1M41M program a million pesos to the charities of these artists. As you know I am campaigning for two people but BENCH has been thinking about the charities and they will give this now 100,000 every time that your favorite tops the votes. Who's faring better?

Here's the latest tally!

Yes it's our beloved Jason Francisco on top and when he keeps this lead he'll surely be getting a 100,000 upto 1 Million Pesos for his charity Mother of Mercy Home for the Elderly. I love his cause and will be campaigning for him of course! I know how the elderly needs all the love they can get. They only have a few years so giving back to people who have spent their lives in the Philippines is just right. MELASON, Pexers, Tropang Jason and other clubs... asahan ko ba ang tulong nyo?! =)

Serious na si Pareng Jason oh! =)

Iboto natin ang may "SWAG" pag Philippine Fashion Week! =) go to http://www.benchtm.com/1m41m/ and vote for him now!

I also have my other bets like Rocco Nacino, he's rooting for the Cancer Warriors Foundation. This guy also has gone leaps and bounds in his career and he sternly believes in helping some of our less fortunate and ailing kababayans. It's really expensive to go to hospitals and have treatment for Cancer, my Grandma died from complications of it and I hope people see they need to help people, isang follow sa twitter lang. That's all they ask for and you would have your idols help their chosen charities. Go to www.benchtm.com/1m41m and get yourself counted! Let's give them all the help they can get!

Now, I won't force you guys to vote for those who I voted for because this is a free country. There are other celebrities in the campaign too so if you want to vote for your favorite celebrities, please do.

Oh and I almost forgot to tell you, I met Jake Cuenca, the beautiful Janine Gutierrez and the gorgeous, statuesque Isabelle Daza through Bench.

Isabelle Daza would like you to vote for her and the charity she's helping EPHESUS, HOME OF THE ABUSED GIRLS in BULACAN. Teen pregnancy has been very rampant and without family to help or support them, this foundation would do just that. Isn't that reason enough to follow @benchtm and vote for her cause?

Jake Cuenca is rooting for C.R.I.B.S. Foundation (Create Responsive Infants By Sharing). Kids/Babies who have been abandoned, neglected or been born to teen parents who can't raise them are been taken cared of in this agency. Kids do not have the capability to choose their parents and there are less fortunate ones who go through this. The number is quite alarming and this foundation is to help them, would you want to help these kids? Then Jake asks you to vote for him here http://www.benchtm.com/1m41m/.

It was my first time seeing her since Philippine Fashion Week. Although we didn't talk that much she had this very nice aura. She was tall and beautiful. I used to watch Lotlot and Monching's show in Channel 9 (pardon the age) but I didn't think she was going to be this gorgeous. Ganda no? =) She's helping White Cross Childrens Home in San Juan. It's quite close to where I live and I have been there a couple of times. Kids need you and your help, it just takes you a couple of minutes to press buttons and vote for her charity. We should do it and help these celebrities help these charities now!

I don't think I should convince you further, it's your turn to help and I know you are going to do your part in helping your idols. Please follow @benchtm and vote these celebrities and their cause on this website http://www.benchtm.com/1m41m/.
