• Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 6 Review

    Last Wednesday on Asia’s Next Top Model was all about ZALORA. For some reason, they felt the need to setup a photo shoot on a boat. How that ties in to “color couture” or the ZALORA brand is anyone’s guess. Anyway, Sang In got the best performance so she will be ZALORA’s brand ambassador. And another girl has been eliminated: Aldilla from Indonesia. Read on for my Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 6 review.

    Before I get to my episode review, let’s look at how the girls fared in their Color Couture photo shoot. I’ll preface my review with this: I did not like this photo shoot overall. For the second week in a row, I’m not quite sure what the theme is aside from a super vague catchphrase. On to my ranking:

  • What I Look For in My President

    The 2016 Philippine Elections is almost here and it’s still super hard to choose who to vote for president. With all the articles and posts trending on my wall telling me who to vote, who said this, who manipulated this, whose supporters did that, it is a must to be vigilant. Do your own research and be informed!

    While I’m still researching, I made a list of the things I look for in my president-to-be. I just listed down a few top-of-mind wishes regardless if they are part of the president’s job or not. It’s just my grown-up election list!


    My president must be accountable.

    I think this is pretty self-explanatory. I cannot highlight the need for an accountable president more. The problem with most Filipinos is that we always try to blame somebody. And that somebody is always the president. I’m poor because of the president. The airport is lame because of the president. Zayn left One Direction because of the president. We’re fond of blaming others but can’t take the blame when it’s our fault in the first place. To make matters even worse, the president, the highest leader in the land, also plays the blame game.

    President
    Tuhmuh!

    So my friends, my friends, choose an accountable president. And please, future president, own up to your faults. Be an example to every Filipino. (more…)

    Oh and just a heads up: this won’t be the last sponsored episode of this cycle yet. There’s Closeup Diamond Attraction coming up next week. But I guess you won’t mind it too much as you’ll most likely be focusing your attention on something (or someone? some two?) else.

  • Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 5 Review

    Last Wednesday on Asia’s Next Top Model… umm I… don’t even really remember what happened that episode. It was pretty uneventful after the über-dramatic Subaru episode the week before. Oh yeah, now I remember. Someone got eliminated: it was Jessica from Hong Kong. Viral sensation Madaew was a guest for their living mannequin challenge. Fashion legend Patricia Field was present at the girls’ Maybelline “it” girl photo shoot. I sound super excited, ain’t I? Sigh. Okay. Read on for my Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 5 review.

    How did your early favorites fare in the photo shoot? We’re back to regular programming this week after my positivity from last week. Now let’s get real!
