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

    Amiciness is going to live blog Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 6. This episode is brought to you by ZALORA, your online fashion store. Who among the girls will never go out of style? Who will still be in the running towards becoming Asia’s. Next. Top. Model.

    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.

    Watch with me at 9 p.m. Philippine time on Star World as I recap the episode live as it airs. 🙂

  • Why Try Theater Workshops

    Theater workshops might not be the top of mind summer activity for your kids (if you have kids), for your siblings and even for you. Well, that was the case for me. I wasn’t really exposed to performance arts when I was younger. I had only been enrolled in a summer swimming class once. Maybe the reason’s financial or that summer classes aren’t as easy to find back in my day (90s HAHA excuse me). My only “experience” in theater then was being cast as a bird in Aladdin in fourth grade. I got sick so I didn’t really make it to the show. *sighs*

    My first theater workshop was in April-May 2014 under 9 Works Theatrical. I got hooked instantly that I enrolled the next year again. Needless to say, I loved it!

    Here’s a few of my main reasons why you should TRY theater workshops.

  • Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 4 Recap

    Amiciness is going to live blog is recapping Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 4. It’s the Subaru episode tonight! And Glenn Tan, executive director of Tan Chong International Ltd, distributor of Motor Image Subaru in Asia, is back! Who will be at the mercy of his sharp tongue this cycle? Who is he shouting at in that episode preview? It’s almost like an AsNTM tradition! Also watch out for some familiar faces from cycles past: Subaru brand ambassadors Natalie Pickles (Cycle 2) and Monika Sta. Maria (Cycle 3).

    I'm here. Bow down mere mortals! LOL! (Facebook/AsNTMOfficial)

    Aaaaaaannnnnndddddd…. I’m super, super excited for this: Yu Tsai is finally here! He’ll be the creative director for the rest of the cycle. Good luck, models, models, models. I’m curious to find out if he’s going to be as rough on the models as he is in America’s Next Top Model. We’re in for an explosive episode. The drama will be in high gear tonight! At least, I hope so. (I’m kidding, I know it will! 😉 )

  • Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 3 Recap

    Amiciness is going to recap Asia’s Next Top Model Cycle 4 Episode 3: The Girl Who Got Cut. It’s the makeover episode tonight! The girls will be under the mercy of TRESemmé hair ambassador Lourd Ramos and his team’s cutting tools and TRESemmé hair products. Who will get highlights? Bangs? The dreaded short haircut? There’s bound to be drama, and I’m super excited. Not to mention another hospital visit this episode. (Ugh.)

    Last time on Asia’s Next Top Model, we continue with the heights theme… with trampolines both in their challenge and their photo shoot. A not so inconspicuous attempt to eliminate Tugs early. The producers got their wish as the girl with the phobia of heights and who frankly mentioned in confessional that the show “hates” her was sent packing. 12 girls remain… who will still be in the running towards becoming Asia’s. Next. Top. Model?
