LUST

I'll give you lots and lots of reasons to lust over.

Brilliant photography from the genius Tommy Ton

Cheers to people like Anna Dello Russo who has 4000 pairs of gorgeous gorgeous feet-killers and our very own Imelda Marcos who has 2 700 pairs.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

Night Swimming

[SOURCE]

My best friend celebrated her birthday yesterday, October 8. No plans, no surprises, no whatsoever. 

I was in Taft from 10:30 am - 2:00pm, having some quality time with Cheska Tantoco. You see, I never had the heart to decline any of her invites. In the middle of the day, we were having our fun. The TRIBO kind of fun ;) Hihihi

I met with Riva Quizon in gateway after, finally doing the long over due catching up with each other. She was so nice to give me one of her cutest accessories: a ribbon connector ring. Together, we rode a cab going to Karen's place. 

I haven't seen Karen Soledad for the entire week. I missed her. And as how she had put it, we could have conquered the world had she not been absent for so long. For all those who have seen us constantly together and noticed that we haven't been a tandem for a week already, don't you worry your pretty heads, you'll be seeing us in action sometime soon again.

Janica Barrera, all the way from UP Los Banos, paid a visit and gave us a box of Buko Pie.

Come 0600, my one and only barkada in the whole wide world started to arrive. Jana Medel and Gel Nobleza arrived with a box of pizza, decorated with candles. Vary Jonson and Jeanne Dela Rosa arrived next.

Jerone Malangen arrived when we were all by the poolside already, bringing a box of yummy cake from Icings with her. 

One by one, we jumped in the pool.

I guess nothing, absolutely nothing, could ever make me happier than being with the friends who mean so much to me and know so much of me. We could have been outgrown by High School, but we could never outgrow our High School friends.

Do you want to know what I really want to become?

When I was 3, I dreamed of becoming a mermaid like Ariel

Or a fairy like Tinkerbell.

Or a beautiful damsel like Cinderella.

You see, I shared the same dreams with other girls. But when I turned 10, I realized becoming a princess (would you take it against me if I admit that I only stopped subscribing from the Disney Princess magazine when I was in 4th year High School?) is not for me.

As Paris Hilton said, "you have to be born in the right family" if you want to become an heiress. An heiress sounds like a princess to me, only it is more fun! No rules, no limits, and with all the money to spend and waste! An heiress, that was what I wanted to be. I even had the Paris Hilton tongue-in-chic book, just to read about the confessions of a real heiress (see http://gianellaperalta.blogspot.com/2009/09/bonjour.html). Come to think of it, I used to adore Paris Hilton!

Ivanka Trump, daughter of Donald Trump - now she's the heiress whom girls can look up to

I also wanted to become part of any royal family.

... just so I will have the opportunity to mingle with my royal crushes Andrea Pierre Casiraghi of Monaco and Carl Philip of Sweden

Or perhaps a world-renowned equestrian.

Do I have to explain how wonderful and exhilarating it is to see a girl on a giant horse? Just look at how fierce Zara Phillips is. And do I really have to tell you the that equestrians look good in their riding habits?

When I was in HS, I dreamt of becoming a writer. A one time big time kind of writer, at that.

Take Carrie Bradshaw and Becky Bloomwood for examples (they're fictional, I know, but they're nonetheless inspiring)


But now, after so much thinking I know what I want to become.

(drum roll please)
PERSONAL SHOPPER

According to wikipedia, personal shopping is an occupation where people help others to shop by giving advice and making suggestions to customers. Their focus is usually on clothes. A personal shopper will give the customer focused and individual attention, and will advise the customer of what is in fashion, help the customer to decide what looks good on them, or assist in picking out an outfit for a particular occasion- or even an entire wardrobe for a particular season. They will often also conduct other services such as a color analysis, enabling the customer to better understand which colors suit them best, or which colors should be worn for which seasons.

Coincidentally, I'm finishing a book entitled what else but "The Personal Shopper"

Read it, guys. You'll learn more about the perks of being one :)

Oh by the way, I'm taking up Accountancy.

Outtakes from Lina's photoshoot

My dear friend, Lina, will be having her debut on the 18th of December. Since August we have been talking non-stop about the Plan A, Plan B and even Plan C of what our debuts could become. We want a fool/fail/cliche - proof debut, obviously! 

What I wore

Thank you, Kristina Chan for the wonderful leather jacket.
