When I was a kid growing up in faraway Surigao my family had a black and white TV. It had a dark wood casing and behind it was a brown wire that was connected to a spindly antennae propped on our roof. The TV was decked with knobs for the volume and other adjustments as well as buttons for changing the channels.But then we only had one TV channel coz this was the age before cable TV. Instead, a company called Southern TV broadcasted movies and TV shows starting at six in the evening until... Basahin pa

Weekend report ahead...The girls and I had our weekly movie date last Thursday evening. For lack of a better choice, we decided to watch New York, I Love You, which turned out to be rather forgettable, hence, I shall not say anything further about it.Apres the movie we decided to head to the Victory Monument area to visit Saxophone, a pub I've been dying to visit since forever.Gosh, we had an ahhhhmazing time there! I did not expect the jazz bands to be that good, it felt like we were back in... Basahin pa

Today's yet another holiday in Thailand for King Chulalongkorn Day. I'm bent on watching movies this long weekend. Thanks to torrents I still have about half a dozen films lined up including such classics as What Ever Happened to Baby Jane, Midnight Cowboy, and Dancer in the Dark. A few minutes ago, I just finished watching Man on Wire (2008), this year's winner of the Best Documentary Features in the Oscars.As the summary on IMDB says: "On August 7, 1974, Philippe Petit, a French wire walker,...

BFF Donita a.k.a Fuchsiaboy visited BKK last weekend for a seminar and he surprised me with the coolest thing ever. I'd talk about that later, but lemme share first the camwhoring that we did, as the practice is whenever Donita is in one of his royal visits.We mostly went around the shopping malls in the Siam area, going inside Balenciaga, Club 21, Longchamp, etc. I don't usually dare drop by these stores; you know me, I consider Khao San and Chatuchak t-shirts as high fashion. So it's nice to... Basahin pa

The Elle Fashion Week Autumn/Winter ran last Thursday until Sunday, which featured some of the biggest names in Thai fashion. Disaya, 27Friday, Stretsis, among others showed some spectacular clothes that I would be having wet dreams of in the coming months... if only I can afford them.But what I'd SURELY have wet dreams of are the shoes and swimming trunks in the Zenithorial collection (see the full collection here via ThaiCatwalk.com).Don't you agree'(All photos are courtesy of Thai Catwalk.)

Since I've already written about one of my not-so-favorite-questions (see previous post), I shall proceed to explain why another question falls into that category..."What is your job'"This question always makes me squirm. It's a very difficult, if not uncomfortable, topic; one which takes a lot of time to explain.It's not like I could simply say: "I'm a model", or "I'm a moneyboy". Gosh, either of those two answers would make it easier for me coz for sure I would not need to explain further,... Basahin pa

One of my least favorite questions is "Do you know how to speak Thai'".I get this a lot from my friends who visit from The Third World who think (rightly so, I should say) that because I've lived here for more than a couple of years now I should speak a decent amount of Thai already.Well, define decent. The only Thai phrase I know quite well is "Make you loving long time mistah".My utter incompetence in speaking Thai is perhaps the biggest tragedy of my life in Thailand, a thing that... Basahin pa

I had been dying to see this film since it won raves in its release in 2007, not least of which is winning the Palme D'or in the Cannes Film Festival, among other accolades.I have downloaded the film many months ago but had been putting it aside since forever.Two weeks ago I watched its first half but had to press stop when I felt that something horrifyingly terrible was going to happen to the characters of the movie. I only had the courage to watch the rest of the film tonight and the same... Basahin pa

Alexander McQueen is officially the best show in the spring-summer 2010 collections.Everything was just so perfect, I could not take my mind off its many genius elements... patterns, silhouettes, prints, make-up, hair, accessories... the shoes. O.M.G... the shoes.See the entire collection on Style.com.All photos are from Style.com.Gosh, where do I find a rich, corrupt politician who'd make a mistress out of me and would take me shopping in Paris' Oh, a Russian oil tycoon would also do.

Buwahahahahaha... (cough, cough). Leche, I'm still sick.But that does not stop me from spreading faggotry, di ba'Well, the photos of our Koh Chang trip just arrived and what else is there to do but post them on the blog'!Gosh, I'd stop typing na coz it's draining me of what's left of my energy.But before we proceed, let me share with you a quote from America's Next Top Model."Is Bianca a noun or a verb'Meaning she CAN model, but is she A model'"-- Tyra BanksNow, what are you' A noun, verb,...
