coffee break

my sentiments…

exactly.

so i say forgive yourselves. that’s the only forgiveness that counts.

Anthology – Eraserheads: Kamasupra

warning: a narcissistic person babbling.
this is a whatever moment. friday night, loud music, booze, and brownies after, i’m in a happy place. my goal is not to be drunk enough to be in a.a. but drunk silly. goal achieved. yes i am half naked, that silly and that drunk. it was a particularly humid and sweaty night. drunk friends at hand and 4 cameras, everyone started posing and shutters and flash firing. i now understand why flash photography is banned in some places…

i find this series of portraits to be weird, very much beat, a little off putting yet interesting. very candid and unassuming (or is it just me?). it’s my first photo of puffing a ciggy, and looking dirty. not dirty-dirty; simply, it’s not put together, un-posed, not a care in the world. raw. thanks to wuji for capturing this moment, i now have a memory of me that i never knew i could ever be.

American Idol 8 – Megan Joy: Walkin’ After Midnight

after a long time of not posting, i have willed myself to write because of…the met gala hosted by american vogue aka anna wintour sponsored by marc jacobs. beside the drama, the opening of the event was successful as always as graced by supermodels, socialites, hollywood stars, designers and who’s who of the fashion industry.

these are my favorites:

i honestly love ashley’s style, specifically this one. call it a mumu dress, but only few can pull this silhouette and she does an amazing job. it’s backless, and plays with the shape of dress. she’s wearing her own label, the row. rihanna and her bold statement of androgyny. her puffed up shoulder/tuxedo and cropped pants is of course by the sexy duo dolce and gabanna. young star emma roberts is making a fashion statement that i believe will make her appealing to the eyes of designers and magazine editors. this number by atelier versace might seemed appropriate on the runway, but she pulled it off. thanks to her youth and panache. there are occasional mishaps but overall the costume institute opening at the met is celebrated with glamour rivaled only by the oscars.

if someone can tell me what is this for, i’ll treat you at starbucks.

all hail miami city.

the city is undergoing an overhaul even in the onset of winter chills; though technically there’s no winter in miami but it’s getting cold like tagaytay-december-cold. federal us is not yet a member of the kyoto protocol but cities/state have made the effort to join and the state of florida, city of miami is re-energizing its commitment to limit its carbon emission in accordance to the annex I and II of the protocol.  they are planting more trees , as if there aren’t enough palm trees in palm beach (redundant). sections of the downtown area is under construction, and the once paved road will be redone to include a tree in the midst of. i wanna hug it before i go.

i hope obama takes a look at the membership of the us in the protocol, it’s high time to federalize efforts in saving mother earth.
