The Philippines is NOT Fashion Forward..Forward..Forward..?

Let me share with you Tricia Gosingtian's "The Philippines is NOT Fashion Forward?"remix by a DJ friend of mine. Do you agree or disagree with her statement? I would love to hear from you.

Model Behavior

Many people are still wondering why this former model separated from her husband and accepted a job overseas. There are always two sides to every story. Let me present to you the two different perspectives and you can decide for yourself as to which one you want to believe in. 

According to the friends of this model, she was verbally and mentally abused by her husband. He looked down upon her and treated her like trash. He took away her car and forbade her from hiring house maids. When she could no longer take it, she decided to leave the house. Her husband refused to show their children to her ever since she left.

The husband's friends on the other hand would say that it was the model who ruined the marriage. He caught her having an affair with another man. That was the main cause of his abusive behavior. When they both knew that things were not getting any better, they decided to end their marriage.

Many are aware that this model has a boyfriend now, but we do not really know when he entered the picture. Was he the cause of their separation? Maybe she only met him after she left her husband? You tell me.

Do you know who is this former model? She used to be a part of a television show. She is now residing abroad and working for a big company.

Open the Door to Your Heart

This young actress met this veteran action star while they were shooting for a moving last year. She was her love interest not just for that movie. On the set, he treated her like VIP and made her feel like a queen. When the actor was done shooting his scenes, he would even stay behind to act as the actress' dialogue coach. This veteran actor does really know how to win the heart of this young lady.

I feel sad for this young actress because her career is just about to take off and her involvement with this actor might just ruin her. She should learn to shut the door to her heart because he is bound to break her literally and figuratively. His wife will definitely rip her apart once she finds out about their love affair. I heard the wife just looks nice but she terrorizes all of her husband's love interest.

Do you know who is this veteran action star? He comes from a family of actors. The young actress on the other hand just transferred from one network to another. Happy guessing.

Let me share with you some of the photos of Marriott Vacation Club at the Empire Palace I saw online. This is where my friends and I will be staying for one week. Do you see the photo of the dining area? I think that is where I will be writing my stories for Fashion PULIS. Thank you to my best friend B.C. for lending me his mini Lenovo laptop.

This is my first trip overseas for this year. I am already excited just by looking at these photos. I hope I will not be disappointed. As promised, I will try my best to post our travel pictures.

It is my third time to go to Bangkok but I can not remember anything from my previous trips. To my readers who are familiar with the city, I would appreciate all your recommendations. I will be waiting.

Last January, I was very excited when I saw that the Cebu Pacific flights to Bangkok were on sale. Can you imagine paying only 6,300 Php for a round trip ticket to Bangkok? When I saw the price, I immediately called some of my friends to invite them to come along since I have a one week accommodation for six people courtesy of my time share.

So later tonight, four of my friends and I will be flying Cebu Pacific to Bangkok for a one week vacation. I have always loved Cebu Pacific and I have no issue flying with this budget airline. Thanks to the lite fares that this company offers, travelling overseas is actually made more affordable for every Filipino. 

Love Hurts in Mysterious Ways

When this actor was doing a television show during the nineties, he fell in love with one of the show's production staff who later became his girlfriend. The girl was so in love with him that she gave up her promotion in the network just so she can work with him. While their relationship was ongoing, the actor impregnated an actress who eventually decided to move out of the country to avoid the controversies. The girlfriend knew about the incident but she decided to forgive him and continue their love affair.

A few years later, the girlfriend was devastated when the actor confessed to her that he got another actress pregnant. He told her that this time around he had no way out so he had to propose marriage to this actress. When the girlfriend heard the shocking news, she immediately resigned from her job. She transferred to another network where she worked her way up from a production staff to an executive producer.

The actor is now married with children. From time to time though, he manages to escape from his family to meet up with this executive producer somewhere outside of Manila. It just so puzzling that  this girl still agrees to see him after all the heartache that he has caused her.

Tell Me Who Your Friends Are

Tim Mark Garcia is the head of public relations for Marc Jacob's men's division. He is also the son of the former Armed Forces of the Philippines comptroller Major General Carlos F. Garcia, who has been accused of stealing $6.2 million in public funds. In 2004, he purchased a Trump Park Avenue condominium worth $765,000 for his son.

I was saddened when I came across an article on guestofaguest.com some time ago crediting Tim for wearing his little Chanel ankle pouch (in red) to hide the electronic monitoring house arrest device (in black) that is snug around his ankle. The article in my opinion is sensationalizing him for the wrong reason. Let us keep in mind that Tim and his family are out on a million dollar bond.

Incidentally, Tim is a close friend of the BOY. He stays with him in his Park Avenue apartment when he visits New York City. Our characters are shaped by the company we keep. "Tell me who your friends are, and I will tell you who you are."

Afternoon Delight

A recreational vehicle or RV is a motor vehicle equipped with living space and amenities found in a house. It is very useful specially for actors who frequently go on location shoots. When the shoot goes on a break, an actor's RV becomes his safe haven where he can eat, rest or do anything he desires.

This action star always has his RV with him whenever he is shooting for his latest soap opera for a giant network. His new wife who hosts a noontime show in the same network would drop by the set almost everyday after her hosting job. Whenever the female director sees the wife on the set, she will let the entire production crew break for lunch. She always waits for the wife's arrival because she knows that the actor does not want to have lunch without her.

After the actor and his wife have entered their RV, two bodyguards will be assigned outside the door to make sure that no one disturbs them. After the one hour lunch break, the director normally spends another thirty to forty five minutes planning for the afternoon's shoot. When the director is ready, she will send her production assistant (PA) to the RV to invite the actor back to the set. 

When the bodyguards see the PA approaching, they will put their two hand on the RV for them to feel if it is shaking or not. If it is, they will do a funny hand gesture signalling to the PA that the actor is not ready. If it stops, then they will give a signal to the PA asking him to come back and knock on the door.

Do you know why the actor's RV is always shaking after lunch? My guess is that he and his wife are trying to burn some calories. Can you guess what they are doing? Do you know who is this action star? How about his television host wife?

Fashion Bullying, a Scene from MAGKARIBAL

A female fashion designer has disliked this young Cebu bred fashion designer V.R. ever since one of her workers transferred to her. Their paths never crossed until last Saturday night in an after fashion show party in Greenbelt's M Cafe. This was what happened.

This female designer was partying with her male writer friend when suddenly a restauranteur/jewelry designer/socialite from Cebu passed by. The writer said hi to her and noticed her outfit so he asked her who did it. When the writer heard her say "it is V.R.", he teased his female designer friend by repeating the name over and over again. The socialite found the behavior unusual so she shared the incident with V.R. when she saw her later that night at the party.

Unfortunately, when it was time for V.R. to leave, she had to pass through the area where the female designer and her writer friend were hanging out. When she reached that part of the venue, the two blocked her way on purpose. V.R. had to say "excuse me po" several times before they looked at her with pity and allowed her to pass. V.R. left the party feeling very bad because she was bullied by two people who are supposed to be more mature than she. They might have been a bit drunk but that does not give them an excuse for their immature and distasteful behavior. It was just like a scene from the soap opera Magkaribal!

I suggest you visit Crossings Shangri La Mall and check out the display window to familiarize yourself with the works of V.R. Coincidentally, her cocktail dresses and long gowns caught my attention last Wednesday when I visited the said mall. 

How about the two fashion bullies, do you know them? The female designer has a store that is walking distance from the party venue. My apologies though to the readers who are not familiar with the Greenbelt area. On the other hand, the writer needs no clue. His behavior speaks for himself.

If you still cannot figure out the characters, I suggest you follow micsylim on twitter and you might just get additional clues. Thank you very much for your continuous support to Fashion PULIS. If you have any stories to share, please email them to michaelsylim@gmail.com. I will be waiting.
