We watched Venus Raj's interview in showbiz news show The Buzz last Sunday where she vowed to bring Bb. Pilipinas Charities Inc. to court for her dethronement, based on grounds of nationality. After that, we just know that the country's participation in the Miss Universe contest is going to be mired in controversy, more than ever. And this being election season, vice-presidential candidate Loren Legarda is already riding in the bandwagon to give justice to Venus, a Bicolana. Incidentally, her rival for the land's second highest elective post, Mar Roxas, happens to ... Continue Reading...
Bb. Pilipinas 2010 winners chosen; Ma. Venus Raj from Bicol to represent country in Miss Universe
I stayed up late tonight to blog, and caught the last leg of the annual Binibining Pilipinas pageant just in time. Before then, my friend Ojie told me the top title will already go to Candidate No. 11 Krista Kleiner but she turned out to be the Bb. Pilipinas International. The top plum of the night, Bb. Pilipinas-Universe, went to an unknown - Ma. Venus Raj who stands at five feet nine and is described in her bio to be working as an information assistant for DENR Region 4. She had vital stats to die for though, and I knew what made her win - the 22 inch waistline! ... Continue Reading...
The look of love, the look of Love Etc… by The Body Shop
God knows there's no other best time to feel BLAH than when you're pregnant. No salon agrees to color my hair (even though the grays are showing) and spas won't even give me my regular massage by reason of my swollen belly.

That's why I felt quite elated when publicist Char of Stratworks chose to invite me for a beauty event. It was the launch of the new Love Etc... line by The Body Shop in the runup to Valentine's Day. I ... Continue Reading...

Still, we send our representative year after year, and this year it's the turn of DLSU College of St. ... Continue Reading...
NUKS NUMUN moment: my digital perm at a Korean salon
NUKS NUMUN! is a popular phrase I hear from fellow bloggers these days. I figure that in this age of icanhazcheezburger, it's a variation of the old and jaded Tagalog term of exclamation "naks naman!" (Wow!) As in "NUKS NUMUN! Buhay pa ba ang gumupit ng buhok mo, sis?" :D Barely a month after getting the famous Ricky Reyes haircut, I was itching for change again. It was because my natural curls were showing themselves in their full unflattering glory, which made for an uneven field. It didn't help that the hubby told me he wanted to see me get a perm before he flew ... Continue Reading...
