And today's dose of excruciating melodrama is brought to you by Star Cinema

I don't watch Pinoy movies in theaters because my job is spent watching Hollywood movies. I don't even have enough time to watch Hollywood movies so obviously I have zero time for local films. But sometimes, when it's very late at night, I switch on Cinema One and watch old Pinoy movies. My favorite discovery is 1984's May Lamok sa Loob ng Kulambo starring incredibly sexy and super funny stars Eddie Garcia, Gloria Diaz and Amy Austria. You have to watch it!

So anyway the other day, I saw the trailer for a new movie called No Other Woman. I looked up the full trailer because I wanted to see if Anne's makeup was really that bad. Yes. It is. Such a shame. She's such a pretty girl! Nasapawan siya ni Cristine! (Syempre, Team Wife ako!)



"Anong mas mahirap na kalaban: ang putang mahirap o ang putang mayaman?"
"Pareho-parehong puta lang yon!"

Winnur!

And so very true. Naagawan na ako ng boyfriend dati. Mga ilang beses din. Alam mo, masakit lang talaga siya sa pride. Noong una, I thought it was heartbreak I was feeling but upon further investigation and finding out who the girl is and what she's like, I realized that no self-respecting woman would take another woman's man. In Pinoy movie parlance, puta lang yon and do you really want to go down to her level? It's really just as simple as that. Once you realize that, it's pity you feel for her.

As for your man, well, no real man would cheat on his girl. A real man keeps his word. So if your guy cheats on you, iwanan ang gago. You deserve better! Happy weekend!

What collection do you want to see?



I've taken a long hard look at my shades after I learned I can buy cheap Ray Ban sunglasses. I buy all my shades from Charles & Keith and I love every pair but mebbe it's time to invest.

Anyway, speaking of collections, stylist Leona Lavina Panutat is featuring me as the Style Mama of the Month in her adorable Tumblr micro-blog, Musings of a First Time Momma. Unlike my surprise feature on StyleBible's Preggy and Pretty, which just made me answer a few questions on pregnant fashion, Leona wants details. Like, what exactly is in my closet. Scary! I'm so not a fashionista!

So I've been going through my stuff (which conveniently occurred whilst I was happily installing my new hangers) and realized I have a lot of the following:
  • bangles
  • necklaces
  • eBay finds
  • shift dresses
  • peep-toes

I also have the following collections all over the house:
  • rabbit stamps
  • rabbit stuff
  • Alice in Wonderland stuff
  • gift wrapper and ribbons
  • notebooks
  • pillboxes

Ah yes, collections. Also known as clutter! What do you think I should take photos of? Which collections do you want to see?

Hangers are my current happiness

I know I've been gone for a while, folks. Last week was incredibly unutterably amazing. I'll tell you more soon enough but for now, here's one of the reasons I was so very pleased with my past week: wooden hangers!


Unlike a lot of women, I don't have a lot of clothes. I know women who keep everything from their very first pair of jeans and bridesmaid gown to the sexy cheerleader outfit that no longer fits! About once or twice a year, I weed out my closet and give the stuff away to charity or sell on eBay. I don't keep clothes at all. That's because I live in a small apartment, I have a small closet and I became a mother and nothing now fits.

Another reason is I like to keep my clothes hangers an inch apart. This allows the clothes to breathe. When air circulates, mildew doesn't form on your clothes. Also, when your clothes aren't squished together, they don't get rumpled in storage. So if I kept everything I ever bought, there is no way I can keep my hangers an inch apart!

If you follow me on Twitter, you'd know I've been agonizing for weeks about finding wooden hangers. My hangers looked like this:
Blech. Dikit-dikit!

My friendly followers on Twitter gave advice from Japan Home and Saizen to eBay and ordering all the way from IKEA Singapore. One evening, on my way to the MRT-Ayala station, I passed through SM Makati and just decided to see if they had the hangers that I wanted. Eureka! They did! 
I bought 4 boxes. Yep, that's 80 hangers!
At only P600 for a box of 20, it's sooo cheap!
Mmm, you can smell the wood!
Soooo very happy! Now my closet (oh, and Vince's too) look like this:

So much better, right? One inch apart! Consistent look. Clean. Organized. I am so happy!
