Without a doubt, Nokia Express Music together with Big Fish surely knows how to throw a beach party. Fiercer than ever before, Fierce Angels invaded the island. Not wanting to be left out, die hard Big Fish fans from Manila flocked to Boracay to participate in the revelries. Seeing the special guest alone, Lady Victoria, who looked twice as fierce playing the saxophone in her black bikini and mesh cover up was enough. DJs Craig McGivern and Johnboy Lee were also present to participate in the summer celebration.

42 Below paved the way for all the craziness as they launched formally at the Embassy Super Club. The brand’s very own Ambassador and Vodka Professor Jacob Briars were present to mix out-of-this-world cocktails for the guests. The night started off with a few drinks to cool off and a brief story about the most awarded vodka brand. The Vodka Professor also demonstrated how to mix several drinks. He even came up with summer breeze, a unique cocktail specially concocted for the Filipinos. To perfect a wild and crazy night, Embassy’s very own DJ Owens Sun played for everyone.

The “Embassy Turns Three” party saw the convergence of the scene’s movers and shakers from young society style leaders, hot models, top business people, celebrities, and luminaries from a broad spectrum of industries.
The entire club was transformed into a tropical rainforest, with tree installations, flowing curtains filled with leaves, as well as video screens showcasing nature’s most dramatic moments. Embassy’s finest DJs Martin Pulgar, Owens Sun, Chewy, Marc Naval, and DJ Ace were on board to provide a scintillating soundtrack for the evening, and the bars were stocked with free flowing Coors, Absolut and Freixenet, keeping guests dancing until the wee hours of the morning.

A few of us at the office have been obsessed with Bobby Newberry for a couple of months now. He’s an LA-based choreographer who makes these really sexy routines in a style called “jazz funk.” (A hiphop friend tells me it still falls under hiphop.) You can see some of his work here. Some friends kept asking me to put together a workshop, and last night it finally happened!

You know, I don’t think Easter gets as much recognition as it deserves. I’m not too crazy about how Christmas has become so commercialized, but I think Easter should merit just as much fanfare–for Christians, it is THE day for rejoicing! I can’t say I did anything special yesterday, other than have dinner out to celebrate the end of fasting and abstinence. I did attempt to have mass with mumsy, but our schedules were so off that we couldn’t manage it. Maybe next year I’ll fix a nice family dinner–just to celebrate the gift of life.
Happy Easter, everybody!

I finally got bangs! Honest-to-goodness, full-on fringe bangs. I’ve always wanted bangs, just to see what I would look like with them, but a lot of the salons I went to before would say that my hair was too thin or whatever. Last year, I went to see Rene Vizmanos of J23 Salon (along Timog Ave.), upon the recommendation of Marie Claire beauty ed Marie. And I suuuper loved what he did with my hair–side-swept bangs that had people asking me, “What took you so long to cut it?”
I was long overdue for a haircut, and decided to take the plunge and ask Rene if I could have real bangs. Without any hesitation, he said, “Yes!” and snipped away. I totally trust him with my hair!

My former boss sent us some sort of illustration before, showing the difference between young workers and old workers–the young ones would look haggard on Monday, progressively looking better as the week wore on. For the old ones, the opposite was true.
At least I know that I’m still part of the young group! I am still recovering from my weekend, wherein a lack of sleep seemed to be the theme. Friday night, I met up with friends because Marie, a high school classmate, was in town from the US. The next morning, I had to go to work, and my schedule was so delayed that all my plans got pushed back a couple of hours.
