Presidentiable #5: Noynoy Aquino--OK I get it, celebs endorse you!

Check out the MV for Noynoy's presidential campaign:Some notes:1) I will never vote for anyone that Regine endorses, just because I remember her saying she is the "freaking Regine Velasquez". She needs to trim her hair or at least get some layers. That is one shagged up 'do. Whose idea was it to make her sit around a campfire, anyway?2) Is it just me or did the kid change in the first part after she gave out the torch?3) Sharon Cuneta...I didn't think she would get any bigger than her Smart billboard. But she did. Definitely in this MV.4) Boy Abunda...

October Make-Up Haul!

Someone is going to totally kill me for spending too much on make-up recently. But don't I deserve every little bit of happiness??? 1) Laneige Snow Crystal Duo Foundation  I finally bought it! The woman was trying to convince me to buy the oil-free one instead, but my mind was already made up before she even said anything. It has a nice, dewy finish which is great for everyday use, not too matte but has great coverage. Before you buy this,...

In Fairness to You, Sarah G.!

So I was driving on my way to my friends' Asian Fusion Day over at Manila Ocean Park when around 3 giant billboards of my least favorite singer caught my eye. First was this one:The other was this one:Of course both had her respective sponsors on it, but then again I thought she was promoting a clothes brand or something. But no, it was a poster for her upcoming concert entitled 'Record Breaker'.Sarah Geronimo, unlike Charice Pempengco, knows when...

Makati Shangri-La Circles: Turning me into a round shape has never been this easy

I was definitely more than ecstatic when I suggested to my boyfriend (whose birthday was yesterday) that we have his birthday dinner at Circles, Makati Shangri-La. Seeing that it was a Friday night and his office is just a walking distance away from the hotel, he immediately agreed. He hasn't tried Circles yet so it was a good occasion to spend money on good food--and plenty of it!This is the 3rd time I've eaten in Circles, the last time was when...

Presidentiable #4: Chiz Escudero

Chiz Escudero just turned 40 last October 10, making him eligible for the position of President as mandated by our Constitution. He, as I see it, is the politician known for such tight shirts (see photos below):See how tight that is? There isn't even any room around his armhole! He apparently told Arnold Clavio in GMA's Unang Hirit that he will not speak of his plans to run as of yet. Citing concern for those who were hit by the recent typhoons,...

Japeth Aguilar Finally Suits up for BK: PBA Hooplah

Manny V. Pangilinan has shared his words of wisdom, "Be part of the solution, not the problem."So Japeth Aguilar has finally made up his mind and will be seen suited up for Burger King today, in the Opening of the PBA's 35th season. I'm sure most of you know all about the hooplah that Aguilar has caused when he chose to play instead for Smart-Gilas (the RP Developmental team, more on that I guess in the posts to come?), instead of honoring his...

Take Me to the Philippines

This video was shown last Oct. 1 on MTV which is geared up to promote Philippine tourism as well as to gather funds for Apl de Ap's (otherwise known as Allan Pineda from Pem-peng-guh) foundation to help out the Typhoon Ondoy victims. This is actually a collaboration with the Department of Tourism through Sec. Ace Durano, with the project being called "Take Me to the Philippines".I probably should commend the DOT for this video because this would surely spark more tourism in our country rather than letting Regine Velasquez belt out nonsense on-screen....

Changes

I'm sure most of you have noticed the changes, but from now on, my blog will be named Pinay Tinapay, and is accessible through the url, http://pinaytinapay.blogspot.com. Description is there on the header to inform you the reason.I just thought that due to all the things I wanted to write, I'm more of a "socially-conscious" person than a "glamour-conscious" one, so I thought it was best to take this blog into a different direction. The recent events have spurred me into thinking that the Filipino youth has a voice as well as hands, especially in...
