Red Lipstick is A-OK!

When you were young have you ever been told that it's not good to put on a red lipstick on a Friday the 13th? I was... but I am not that superstitious and my friends/ officemates are not superstitious people too. So despite August 13, 2010 being a Friday the 13th, we put on red lipstick. Honestly, red lipstick is not a color that we usually wear. Most of the time we go for au naturel.

We then realized that we look good with red lipstick on, so during the break we had this impromptu photoshoot. Someone commented that in reality it should be Kika doing the angas pose and that the goody two-shoes should be me. All four of us thought that below is the best shot we had..

We decided that we should try to project the character of the clothes we were wearing that day. Hence, the pose.

We are so not prepared. As you can see in the background, we didn't even try to organize our "set" . The clutter on the table still there, the boxes present too, good thing the floor is shiny. Hahaha!

Do you see any semblance with the campaign ad below? Syempre wala! Hahaha

Ponds and Plains & Prints Collaboration

Lemme share more photos that we had that morning. The not so fierce and wacky ones.

Also that day, we watched Chloe and went to Cubao X for Manila Design Week.

Good thing Chloe is still showing in Gateway cinemas. To Cinema 8 we went. You know very well about my movie/ concert buddies ayt?! See previous posts. Mira, Shai and I but this time we have Kayelle with us. Yey, the more the merrier! After watching the movie we saw this EasyA poster. And so...

EasyA starring Emma Stone and me? hahaha

After the dinner and movie, Jen came to join us. So now were five! We then went to Cubao Expo for the last day of the Manila Design Week. It's called Manila Sound Vision. Lotsa bands were there to play. The event was sponsored by Manila Beer, so beer was free-flowing. We didn't drink though. We just had soda in can.

starstruck... we were too shy to approach Armi and have photo taken with her... sayang!

 Up Dharma Down sounds good. Armi  is <3

CLAU-DIO-OH!

Oh yeah! We were able to catch Coheed and Cambria live in Manila last July 30, 2010 in A.Venue. And yes, I was with Shai and Mira and the "friend". We sure had a blast. The ticket price was soooo worth it (we got our money's worth even better). I am not a huge fan of Coheed and Cambria but after the concert -waddaya know?! I heart them much, moreso Claudio! Claudio and his epic hair!

zeh BAND! Claudio's face cannot be seen here

there ya go, the headband, now his face can be seen

Of course, we didn't miss the chance to have our photos taken. The photowall would be a waste if not used. Hahaha! Speaking of the shirts, we just bought it from vendor in Facebook. It's called Manyan Shirts and we got it for only 350Php each. The print at the shirt front is CoCa's logo with a touch of Filipino (the sun with eight rays). I don't have a photo of the shirt back but it has the dragonfly (album logo) and the band name printed on it. A guy even approached us to ask if it's the official concert shirt. Winner! but no, it's not...

they (CoCa, Pulp, Dickies) haz photowall too

we have matching shirts

Have I mentioned about me wearing my pink wedge shoes to the concert? A very unlikely choice of footwear for a rock concert! Well, the shoes had its pros and cons. For one, it gave me additional 4" in height. I was able to see the stage and the performers even from afar. But before the concert ended I haz to remove the shoes and go barefoot. Coz my legs and feet were already tired. We were like standing almost the whole time during the concert. The concert started 8pm and the show ended 12mn (meaning 4 hours). Imagine all the weight that my feet carries! Plus, I wasn't just standing during the concert, I was jumping too! hahaha...

tired and ugly feet aka the YAGIT photo

me, Mira and her "friend"

Usually, we have dinner after zeh movie or concert. But this time we had our meal before the event. We went to Fluke at A.Venue Mall. While there we saw Mr. Francis, the boyfriend of Nina Sandejas (the well-known concert photographer). We were like waiting for her to arrive at the resto, but we didn't see her.

 

us three

Have you heard of the band Franco? They were the front act during the concert. Their  music is good!
try listening to this

Pulp was the one who brought Coheed and Cambria to Manila. This November they will bring HATEBREED. I'm not sure if we'll go. We'll see. Anyway ticket price is cheaper, only 1,000Php. It'll be held at World Trade Center in Pasay City.
