CAO Awards 2009

Thrifted black dress, Rusty Lopez Balmain-inspired heels, Banana Republic jasmine jacket, beret, chain belt, vintage "magazine" clutch bag

The night was very eventful for two of my best friends... Reese and Brent! But I'll get to that later. So, CAO Awards... it wasn't as fun as last year's! This year it was only held at the Sports Complex (last year: Great Eastern Hotel/Aberdeen Court) and it ended at 8:30! We (Brent, Reese and me) arrived at 7:30 so we weren't really able to catch anything.

Fashionably late grand entrance-rs. :))

Reese & I with the newbies!

We decided to go out for drinks after. It took us a long time to finally decide where to go (and we thought since we couldn't decide, we'd go home instead): Bazzo bar at Blue Wave. :-) we got "drunk" on Margarita!

Kuya Alvin, Rash & ate Cams were there too!

We left at around 11 though 'cause Reese had a curfew. But but but...

Extremely happy vibes at Brent's car! SOMEONE'S GOT A GIRLFRIEND! :-D

I'm extremely happy for Brent and Reese, really. :-) ate Pre and I have been screaming really loud for the both of them since last night (well I still am screaming deep down inside. So freaking happy for you two!)! I don't think I've ever seen Brent as happy as he was last night. Great vibes in the car last night. ATE PRE, TAYO NALANG SINGLE SA HTF!!!!!!!!!!

Looking forward to next year's CAO Awards! Hopefully it would be less boring. And that Jazz would win tons of awards! LET'S DO THIS, JAZZ!

Great Game, Archers.

Great game, indeed.

Starting at 5pm earlier, Twitter and Facebook status updates have all become related to the UAAP match between the DLSU Green Archers and ADMU Blue Eagles. I was on the Green side, of course. ;-) unfortunately for me, I wasn't able to bag myself a ticket to watch it live in the Big Dome, but I think watching it on television was more than enough for me. :-)

The game was wild. Pretty intense, actually. For the first 3 quarters, the Archers were 6, 8 and 4 points in the lead, respectively (if I remember it right). As I predicted, there would be an overtime with the score tied up to 67. In the end, the Eagles were victorious with a score of 76 to the Archers' 72.

It was a very interesting game! I couldn't help but shriek here at home. :)) the halftime was FTW, also! Good job, pep. (Nix very madami ang focus sayo! Quidot ka ni mr. Cameraman. :-P)

For quite some time now, I've had a hidden happy crush on one of my classmates who happens to be one of the Green Archers, too: Maui Villanueva. It's not so hidden anymore now, is it? And just today, I've developed a happy crush on another one of my Green Archer classmates: David Webb! And I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one. Come on, scoring 26 points in today's game? HE WAS AMAZING! (In your face, Dr. Hernandez [Kaspil2 prof]! :)) he keeps on 'teasing' them in class. "Ano laman ng bola? HANGIN." and other shit like that HAHAHA) I think he was the best player in today's game. Unfortunately for the Green side, the Archers' momentum completely lost after Webb's now infamous "kick". :-(

Maui Villanueva

David Webb

Despite the loss, I still think it was a great game. It was too intense for my life! Til the next game :-) LET'S GO ARCHERS!

Andrada (hehehehe sorry :|), Villanueva (!), Mangahas, Webb (!) :-)

ANIMO LA SALLE!

Seaofshoes Is An Inspiration

I literally just browsed through Jane Aldridge's (http://seaofshoes.typepad.com) WHOLE blog! I visit her blog daily but just to check if she has recent updates. It never really occured to me to read her whole archive! I didn't really do much reading, though. Her pictures are amazing. One of my purposes on browsing her blog was to look for some fashion inspirations for the upcoming CAO Awards. We, LSDC-Jazz, seriously have no idea on what to wear to that event yet. All we know is that we're aiming for the "Best Dressed Group Award"!

I did save A LOT of her pictures, most of which I'll use for future fashion inspiration ;-P here are a few staples that I think would be helpful for LSDC-Jazz for the CAO Awards:

(apparently the theme is "fashion show with a twist" and our TM picked belts/suspenders in the drawing of lots)

I think we're going for belts since they're dressier and easier to find than suspenders. All of the pictures above are of Jane Aldridge. :-) here are a few others I found on Lookbook!

Here's Jane's sister, Carol.

Isn't she so pretty? I love her blazer in the first picture and her dress in the second!

I am so in love with Jane Aldridge's closet, I'd kill to raid it (no, not really)!

I hope these would help us win the best dressed group award! :-D

Gawad Mag-aaral 2009

I missed my field trip to ABS-CBN with my IntBrod classmates today but I guess it's fine 'cause I don't think I missed a lot. And I didn't miss it for nothing anyway! I performed with LSDC-Jazz for Gawad Mag-aaral 2009.

Time was so slow today. Call time was at 9 am but we started rehearsing a little bit past 10 already. I slept in the TYA (my usual sleeping spot during concert rehearsals or whatever :-P) for about 2 hours. When I woke up, they said classes were already suspended! But the show must go on. HAHA. So yeah, Gawad still pushed through.

It's really crazy how rehearsals can be so exhilarating (even if you run just once) then during the show itself, the dance seems to have gone in a snap. Adrenaline, maybe? Well, it's a dancer thing. :-) I think our dance went pretty well. I wanna see a video, though. I forgot to give my camera to one of the newbies for them to take a video. :-(

I didn't like our costume for the dance. It exposed our stomachs and I lost my abs already. :-( I SHOULD GET THEM BACK SOON. I love how my body looked during my Animo days. Unfortunately for me, when I left Animo, my pretty toned body left me too. :-( I should work extra harder in Jazz for me to achieve that body again! And maybe do a couple morning exercises (this will be hard considering how lazy I am especially in the morning!). Or I should go back to the gym.

Enough about me ranting about my abs-turned-flabs. :)) here are a few pictures from today!

Here's what I wore!

Secondhand nautical red dress from Ate Rika, Black Velvet blazer, Charles & Keith sandals, wayfarers

The show's about to start!

Me & Reese

Me & ate Cams, after the opening number

Me & Kim

Hello, loves! (I miss my curly hair :-( )

Reese & ate Cams

I love what I did to my eyes!

I still have an LSS on the Gawad Mag-aaral theme this year. It's what we danced to for the opening. It's pretty catchy! Or not. I guess I've just heard it tons of times it won't get out of my head.

Btw earlier, I added another one in my "boyfriend criteria": HE SHOULD SING WELL. I've always wanted a dancer to be my boy, but I guess a singer would be awesome too. I should stretch my horizons. :)) who knows, I might get a boyfriend if I "leave my world", the dancer world, that is. ;-) (but I'm not saying I'm not into dancers anymore! Definitely not. DANCERS WILL ALWAYS BE ON TOP OF MY LIST =)) )

PS. the last paragraph was because I have recently developed a happy crush on one of my old classmates and he's a pretty nifty singer. REALLY. So hot when he sings. =))

Anyway...

Ciao, bellas. ;-)

Feeling a lil Greek today

Well, yesterday.

Topshop oversized dress shirt, liquid leggings, Charles & Keith sandals, chain belt, Ralph Lauren houndstooth bag

I'm starting to become obsessed with shopping for clothes now. That's kinda not a good thing because I don't have all the money! I should stop soon before I drain my atm!!!

No school today because of Cory's burial. Rest in peace, President Cory Aquino.

GG has changed Taylor Momsen!

Just gonna show the transformation of Taylor Momsen (yeah, not just her character Jenny Humphrey!) from being cute to fashion forward in three GG seasons. I've been wanting to do this for a loooooong time already!

GG season 1

So cute and charming :-) loved her then.

GG season 2

VERY GRUNGY! And rebellious. Whatever happened to little J?

GG season 3

So much better! I love her again =)) Racoon make-up gone, punk rock vibe lessened. She looks clean! Jenny has definitely become the Queen Bee. I LOVE HER OUTFITS! Can't wait for season 3. :-)
