Oscar Fashion Fever

One of the perks of being a work-at-home-mom (WAHM) is that, I get to watch the TV shows that I want, which I consider my Me-time. Well, that becomes really possible when my daughter is in school, that's why.

I was so glad to have been able to watch the recently concluded Oscar Academy Awards from start to finish though I’d change the dial during commercial breaks (sometimes). I loved the host, Seth MacFarlane – he is such a genius. The performers were really good - bravo! Of course, the fashion that I always look forward to has been so fascinating, as always. A lot of them looked like goddesses with their dresses/gowns, but I would only name my top three best dressed among women, and they are:

Jennifer Lawrence
a gown made for the best actress - Congratulations!

Charlize Theron  
She was just so stunning with her short do and a beautiful gown.

Nora Jones
I just loved this simple yet elegant dress she wore during her performance 

                               

If I would be asked who my male star of the night was, it would be, Daniel Day-Lewis, the best actor. I’m a fan yes, but, he was just so handsome. He just looks even more handsome as he age.

Daniel Day-Lewis

Congratulations to all the winners, and a round of applause to the academy for putting up a good show that the whole world enjoyed. 

The Zoren-Carmina Wedding

If you were unable to watch the wedding via ABS-CBN last Sunday night, you’re not alone. I was also unable to. Well, no matter how good of a show is gonna be aired, mommy duties come first for me all the time. Rem wouldn’t sleep without me beside her, and I need to save up energy for the next day since it’s a Monday. Anyways, I don’t feel so bad about it because that was the very 1^st thing (watching TV regularly) I gave up since I got pregnant.

I just browsed the internet and see what I could read or watch about the wedding coverage. Thanks to the technology these days. It makes me not miss a thing. Just late but never a “nothing at all”. It really was a wedding every woman would want to experience. Congratulations to the both of them! May their love continue to blossom as its reward is really incomparable. I just remembered telling my husband the other week as we are on our eight year of marriage already, “it’s such a blessing to feel that as our marriage grow old, our love is just growing deeper, too. Ideally, I guess that should be the case. For me, it’s really where the song “grow old with you” hits. I always look up to men (now including Zoren) who give much importance to their wives, and even give credit to all that is due to us, wives. It really is about giving importance to the one we love, and it should work both ways. Obviously, to the newly-weds, that’s what their marriage looks like. Their wedding was not only fancy, that made it so nice, but, it’s the love for each other that was really felt by everyone. For me, that kind of love is possible for all and that’s where we should be excited about.

To the Legaspi couple, Zoren and Carmina, thank you for the inspiration and for the “kilig moments” that you shared to many. May your Love continue to inspire all married couples and those that are still dreaming of it.

Zac Efron: Loved (more) by Filipino Fans

When I learned about his being in Manila, I would always watch news for updates about his stay. But there were cases where I had to be out of the house to do some errands. By the way, thanks so much to Penshoppe for bringing him to our beloved country, Philippines.

I’ve been a Zac Efron fan since he starred in the High School Musical movie with Fil-Am actress, Vanessa Hudgens who happened to be his girlfriend then. Said movie started it for them to be lovers.  With his recent visit, for sure more Filipino fans were born. I just love him more for everything that he sincerely said about the people and our place. I was able to watch him at the Ellen Show and I almost cried (tears of joy, of course) when he talked about a bit about his visit here. With everything that he had said about his short visit in all his interviews, I’d like to give credit to everyone whom he met. Thanks for showing the hospitality that we Filipinos are famous for.

For those who want to follow him via Twitter and  Facebook Page. 

I’d like to end this post by saying Thank You to Zac Efron. It's been an honor having you in our country. More power to you and God bless you more and more. Filipinos (especially Pinays – women) love you more, that’s for sure!

I'm Happy for JL!

We all know the perks of being famous, but, of course it also has its downside. Being one of the million fans of John Lloyd (Cruz), I’ve always been excited to know about his lovelife, just like any fan. The last one with Shaina (Magdayao) seemed so bumpy, but having it lasted a bit made me really think then that it was going to work out.

Now, he’s been linked to the ever beautiful, Angelica Panganiban, where the latter’s 6-year relationship with actor Derek (Ramsay) just ended also, which I also thought would end into marriage. But, I hope my guess this time will come true. Well, I just feel that it’s going to have a real happy ending for JL and Angel. Why? For these two who came from serious relationships, I just consider it as if they’ve been ripened for each other - learned from those past to be better persons in love and in life. And not only that, being such natural comedians even in real life, this is just the perfect ingredient a married life could be a success, especially in their lifestyle and career. I really hope they’ll end up together. I may not be invited in their wedding (not bitter), but then again, as a fan, I also hope good things (especially in lovelife) for my idols. Whoever he ends up with will be an instant idol for me, of course.  Choose to be happy, guys, and everything else will follow. 

The Best Dressed Male Celebrity For Me

On the title, I was supposed to put, “local” before the word male, but since he’s already waiting for his Hollywood break (Amen to that!), I decided not to. I’m sure you know now who I’m talking about, it’s of course, none other than my idol, Sam Milby! Clap, clap, clap!

When he joined in the PBB House (Pinoy Big Brother House) a few years ago, I already liked him there from day one. That was based on his talents, his looks and his aura. But when he became a full-pledged actor (and now endorser), I liked him all the more. Aside from his talents, for me he’s the best dressed among the actors of this generation. He’s not trendy, but whatever he’s wearing everytime I see him on TV, print ads and movies, they just make him look a lot better. He may be dressed by stylists, but I bet, even if in times that he’s not, he still manages to look simple , yet, presentable, and even more handsome. With a face as good-looking as him, the X-factor comes in with the way he dresses up and how he carries himself.

I’ve got here few photos of him in different get-ups and he just looks perfect all the time. Thanks to google images for these:

With great looks and talents that he’s got, I know that there will be no stopping when he gets a shot at Hollywood. For me, I will always be a big fan of him…and my husband is okay with it. I am such a wholesome fan, anyway  More power to idol, Sam, and stay as good-looking as you are.

My Idol's Fashion

There is really so much to love about being famous. Before the American Idol Season12, I bet, Jessica was just a simple lass when it comes to fashion. But look at how she carries herself everytime she’s going to sing on the Idol Stage, isn’t she every girl’s dream look?!
Honestly, I love everything she wears on the show. Whoever is the designer, that is if there’s somebody else than Tommy Hilfiger, I’m giving you a big round of applause. Being a morena (define) myself, Jessica’s clothes gave me more ideas that there are really great styles and colors, a person with our complexion can wear.

By the way, have you voted for my bet? I did. Thanks a lot in behalf of my idol!
