CELEBRACION: The Francis Libiran Show at Casa Ibarra

It's been a while since I've been back in Casa Ibarra. They opened last November and has been hosting several parties, events and shows. This time however they're taking us to a short rundown on what they will serve for a grand fashion show by no less than world renowned Filipino designer Francis Libiran. Here's a video blog I made from last night's show. I'll follow it up with the show on photos so you get to take a look at his newest collection. It was really fun and majestic. I wouldn't be surprised if you're going to book your next event in this place because it's just gorgeous!

Here it is on video:

Then we went to see the show. Albeit being asked by another guest to sit somewhere (that's another story), we got what we wanted from the show. This is Francis Libiran's newest collection called Mon Amour. I'll let the photos do the talking.

I absolutely love the gowns he made, I think that's given. He's been a sought after designer here and outside the Philippines. This just proves the Filipino is world class!

I would like to take this bit and thank the people who invited me to CELEBRACION particularly Casa Ibarra and their partners. They currently have their other Bistro Ibarra and Villa Ibarra in Tagaytay, Bella Ibarra in Quezon Avenue, Plaza Ibarra in Timog Avenue and the original Ibarra's Garden in Padre Faura Manila available for your parties, events and catering services. They've been doing this since 2001, so if they've lasted that long it says a lot. 

You may contact them through their channels on Facebook, or ibarraspartyvenues.com.ph or call 5229999. 

Lance Raymundo Does “Martir Sa Golgota” This Holy Week

I have witnessed his story unfold on music, TV and in 2014 het met an accident that nobody would ever want to happen. Lance Raymundo had a promising career, hit songs, a glorious future ahead of him and being bound in a wheelchair with his face disfigured must have been so hard for anyone, but not this man.

Honestly, while I was having coffee with him during this interview, my mind was somewhere else, really wondering. While looking at him, I was really at awe at how Lance have had all these POSITIVITY in him while he shared his story. He said it stems from accepting the situation, he knew he had to do that not just to be alive but to go back to where he wants to be in his literal second life.

I found him VERY THANKFUL, APPRECIATIVE and WILLING to share his story because he knew how it would inspire other people, including the youth, the millenials and make them have their outlook in life a little better than before. Aside from the talks, he made it a point to participate in projects of former councilor, actor and director Lou Veloso. In this community play (called Cenaculo in the Philippines) entitled Martir Sa Golgota , he’ll be playing role of Jesus Christ, and says “I always want to make time for this in my schedules, this is my way to give back regardless of religious affinity.”

Here’s his interview in two parts, hope you pick up something inspiring from this short talk, because I did.

Again, make sure to watch the first salvo tomorrow at Althea Park, Paseo Outlets at Greenfield City in Sta. Rosa Laguna and on March 25 at Greenfield District Central Park in Mandaluyong City. They will also be taking this to other towns and major cities as Lance mentioned. If you haven’t seen a Senakulo yet, this may be the opportune time to do it. Go see the story and the passion of Christ as portrayed by an inspiring man.

It’s Holy Week, you be good!

UNIQLO's 2018 Spring/Summer Collection

Had the chance to watch UNIQLO's Spring Summer show at One Canvass Events Place in Makati City and I really liked what I saw. Pretty much, it was a hodgepodge of cool things, like literally; but I was glad they didn't just stand around and bored us with basics. UNIQLO always prides itself with putting out textile technology so each piece would actually spell comfort, something that would make people come out of their house and wear their clothing all day. 

It's spring and summer after all so seeing their stuff on the racks that day all made sense. The design aesthetic remained efficient for day wear. You have something for athletics, moving around in the gym, inner wear that remained cool even on the insides, jeans that go unbelievably stretchable but firmly hug you in all the right places. They also have something for kids so they won't have to hold back doing what they want to - and have fun with it. Professionals, men and women can now wear shirts that don't even have to get ironed right after it goes out of the washer and dryer, wear straight to the office in a jiffy. They also have some really good designed pieces from Marimekko or tough really colorful stuff for everyday wear from UNIQLO U or the fun UNIQLO UT shirts that I love with Mickey Mouse, Disney, or all things that have got to do with MINIONS. Ah, I could see it now, you'll love them all!

UNIQLO Active, go anywhere well dressed, athleisure at it's best!

UNIQLO AIRism, keep cool all day, even on your inner wear.

 

UNIQLO Jeans, stretch, stretch, stretch!

UNIQLO Kids and Baby wear, your kids deserve the good things too.

UNIQLO Men's Non-Iron Shirt, and they're not even joking!

UNIQLO x Marimekko, Japanese fashion never looked so cool on women!

The colorful UNIQLO U

 

Shirts you'll love because they remind you of the movies you used to watch when you were kids, or even not so kids anymore. This is UNIQLO UT.

To let you see what transpired that evening, we've got some of it on video. So enjoy!

Thanks to UNIQLO for having us! I had so much fun that afternoon! Head on to stores nationwide now because this would be so good to have them on the beach, we've all want new wardrobe for that of course!
