Penshoppe Holiday 2013 for Philippine Fashion Week!

I have been so blessed last Philippine Fashion Week and what gorgeous way continue this series but by showing you the runway looks as if you are in the front row. I've been doing that for years and this time is no different. I bet you are excited as I am about one of the best brands from Golden ABC which has began stamping it's brand internationally. Ladies and gentlemen, this is Penshoppe Holiday 2013!

They opened up the show with sleeved shirts, probably cotton based. It looks light and airy. They paired that together with pants of the same material, the other had cargo pants. The one below had leather and denim jackets together with skinny jeans and a more straight cut faux denim fabric on the latter.I love the shiny look though.

Then they followed up with ladies wearing faux leather skirt, pants, denim skinny jeans, and colors on the guy's pants too.

Key Pieces: Jackets, beanies and Man Bags.

It was at this part where I was kind of recognizing the overall vibe of the collection. It was almost looking like Oxygen because there was only little hints of color then most of it are grays and black. I thought the Brand Director was Alex Mendoza because of the shows of Penshoppe in the past. They are definitely going on a different direction. It was because the new guy was showing us his none edited taste, this is the work of Jeff Bascon aka Jeff Bacons.. no wonder it's looking more adventurous!

The Nokia Lumia 720 Unboxing and Review

Hi guys! This is my first attempt at making a video review for a gadget and I think I did a pretty good job at it (hey be nice! LOL). Thanks to the great people at Nokia Headquarters, Nokia Philippines and Fuentes Manila for this unit.

Sorry about the audio in the beginning of the video, I'll probably do a better thing with that soon! :)

The Nokia Lumia 720 rocks! It's cheaper than other Windows OS phones too. If you are looking for bang for the buck quality in a handset, this is the one that you should get! Thanks and watch out for more reviews soon!

Jobstreet.com x POEA Anti-Illegal Recruitment Campaign

Jobstreet.com and the POEA is now hand in hand in launching an Anti-Illegal Recruitment campaign to rid the country of these unscrupulous individuals and entities that prey on soon to be overseas Filipino workers. The MOA was signed at the Blas Ople Building in Ortigas, Pasig City. It is part of the agency's continuing preventive measure in streamlining a more efficient and strict renewal for recognized agencies. They also offer free legal services to victims if in case they fall victim to these agencies. They also are shaping up measures that would be able to get them to enforce stricter penalties to violators more today. 

They also are continuing to furnish trainings and overseas worker education for the benefit of the Filipino workers in order to make them well informed once they step into foreign soil. It is also being added as a requirement for all jobs. They also have some new requirements to make sure that each company that will be in their database are all legitimate. It's one way of making sure you won't be victimized by illegal recruiters which this campaign is gunning for.

POEA also just launched the Balik Manggagawa Program to schedule and secure appointments for OEC's so you don't have to line up with the crowd. It's quite similar to DFA's appointment system. It's available at POEA.GOV.PH

Sarah Jessica Parker Opens The SM Store Aura!

SM Aura just opened its doors to the public and it has gained quite a number of following in the past few days. I am still in disbelief that I was right in front of an A lister, a fashion icon, a lovely lady. Yes, I'm talking about Sarah Jessica Parker. Thanks to SM Aura Premier Management and The SM Store who got us first dibs in this event. This is a life changing moment for me and thousands of other celebrities, VIP's and ordinary Filipinos. I'll stop and let you take a look at what happened that evening.

I arrived a bit late because of traffic going to the venue. Everyone was so excited to be in SM Aura Premier and this lady who just happen to be one of my favorite stars in Hollywood is opening the mall. I am not worthy. I already saw her coming in but due to the multitude of press and VIP's trying to get a glimpse of her, I only could see her using this TV screen. A lot were put up around the mall, but I wasn't going to just stand there and shoot the TV screen right? I had to go near so I rushed to the front and tried to get photos while she was roaming around the mall.

You are seeing the crowd in front of the stage where they introduced Sarah Jessica Parker. As you can see, it was really impossible for me to get a shot of her with this in place. Then SJP had to roam around the department store, she was hounded by reporters and onlookers. I had to follow suit and maybe see if I can get a clear one at least.

As you can see I was failing miserably on taking a clear shot. That meant I had to skip and hop with 4 people in front of me. I could only get some shots of her hair. It was funny because I had to chase her in several floors, but alas I never got a clear shot. Then when she was whisked to a private room, I went to the press conference area and secured a seat. I stood my ground there.
