Greyson Chance Live in Manila Part. 1

WARNING: EXTREMELY PHOTO HEAVY aka GREYSON OVERLOAD

Hola Bellas/Dolls! I apologize for not being able to blog for a couple of days, and I want to say sorry also to you dolls about a certain chat I was promoting. Long story short it was such a disappointment and it was very very very very (I cannot stress how many verys) unprofessional. I really apologize about that, but sadly these things happen.


Le Ticket

Di ko bet piano nya dito. Wish it looked like the one in the Waiting Outside Lines vid. Its the piano on the video behind. It says LOVE.

Sound Check





 On a lighter note... This entry is pretty late(sorry again for that), but if you guys have been following my tweets you would usually see #GreysonHangover on my tweets. Well, it's because I met the amazing young singer/songwriter Greyson Chance discovered on youtube by Ellen. I just can't explain how amazed I am by him esp. at his age. He reminds me of a baby Adele. No lie. I just can't put into words how nice his voice is live. To start things off, it was 2-3 days before the concert I had become a fan of him(poser no? cheka) cause of my friend Lord. I had heard of him already, but I had no idea how talented he was after watching his video of Waiting Outside the Lines. Then I kept tweeting how great he was, and how I'd love to meet him etc. Then one of my really good friends Kristen dm'd me asking if I was gonna watch, then I said no cause I have no ticket/ride. She then said that her cousin backed out, so I could buy her ticket. Thanks sooooo much Kristen!!! LOVE YOU!!! You guys have no idea(Tippi, Patricia, Nicole alam nyo na yan) how happy I was upon finding out I was gonna watch his show at the Piazza on Sunday November 20.

Krissy & Ericka opened the show! In fairness bet ko na sila! I love their song 12:51. Naka relate lola nyo. Cheka!

Greyson takes the stage! He opened with Unfriend You









The Day Itself... Sunday, has finally come aka November 20. I met up with Kristen at Town Center, so I could ride with her going to Piazza(btw, Kristen's school is like a 1 minute walk to Piazza. Bonggels lang tong place na toh if I may add). When We got there, We go got our Greyson Tour package(2nd to the last photo). I'll put a caption, so you guys know what was inside the package. Kristen and I thought we were gonna be able to take a picture with him, since thats what MCA said. Much to our surprise bawal(on my next entry I'll post Kristen's video, so its easier for you guys to understand what happened with the meet & greet). All I can say is it was very disappointing when hearing we weren't allowed to take a photo with him. Anyways, I'll post more about the show itself on part. 2 for this entry. BTW, I divided this entry into 2 parts because I'm still sorting through photos(not just concert shots, but from other events) PLUS I'll be posting mine and Kristen's meet and greet vid! BTW, don't expect to much on mine cause you won't see him. ANG FAIL NG LOLA MO. Thankfully Kristen got a good shot where you can hear both of us and see him! For now enjoy and fall for the photos dolls!


The Greyson Tour Pack included: Total Girl back issue, Greyson Chance tumbler, Greyson Chance poster and Greyson Chance's Hold on Til' The Night


I leave you guys with my favorite song from his album Hold on Til' The Night. I just love how strong his voice is, how the message of the song is so direct and delivered beautifully.


You’ll never enjoy your life,
living inside the box
You’re so afraid of taking chances,
how you gonna reach the top?



to be continued...

bisou bisou,

PLAYLIST: XXXXXXXXXXXXXXO1

If you guys noticed I haven't been posting my monthly playlist lately. It always seems to slip my mind, and especially with all the good music today. Well I don't wanna dwell too much on that, but recently I've been going through youtube looking for new songs to listen to. Trust me I found this user she posts all these remixes of artists I've listened to and they are AMAZING! Find her here: CLICK I hit jackpot also when watching the show Awkward, the song selection is beyond! Another is one of my best friends Alex Quevedo sending me the such good tunes! I can always trust her when it comes to music since she has such good taste! 




Anyways I've compiled some songs and decided to title this playlist XXXXXXXXXXXXXXO1. Why is there a 1? This is sort of part. 1 of the songs I found and listened to, and I'll be compiling and sharing with you time to time. Expect part. 2 soon!

DOWNLOAD: HERE

ENJOY!

Model for Donatella

Last friday SoFA had its weekly Fashion Fridays, and I absolutely loved this last week's theme. Well obviously from the title of this entry, its pretty obvious.

FASHION FRIDAY: VIVID PRINTS

Upon seeing this, I immediately knew what my peg was from the H&M X Versace collection and what jacket I was gonna wear. 

My Peg: not River my bellas, but the jacket and the prints. Now I don't have shirts with palm trees plastered over it, but I do have a shirt that had the same amount of color and green on it. 

What I Wore: Applerust reversible bomber jacket, Forever 21 jeans, burger shirt, rosary necklace and Mundo at The Ramp espadrille flatforms

This jacket no doubt reminds me of Versace especially cause of the print. So proud I purchased this from my friend Peach. With this I no longer have to feel bad I won't be able to own a bomber with such a vivid print. As for the shirt I decided that the colors were so bright why not pair it up with the jacket. Is this Versace enough?


A pair of shoes I've been coveting the moment I saw them in Garage Magazine's October issue. I knew I had to contract The Ramp and reserve a pair! Not only are they comfortable, they add an extra inch to your height! I have been wearing them non-stop, and sometimes I'm afraid they'll get ruined! They actually remind me of creepers that were combined with a paid of espadrilles!

THANK YOU for these outfit shots: Tippi Sy 

Heres a photo of some of the pieces from the menswear collection of Versace x H&M

Photo Via: HERE

Some of my favorite pieces from this collection is definitely the bomber jacker(absolute favorite), the studded leather pants, the studded leather jacket, the palm tree shirt and OF COURSE the hot pink suit! I absolutely prefer the mens collection of the ladies. Not being biased, but honestly some of the pieces from the ladies collection gives me the hoochie vibe. No offense. 

Thats all for now bellas! Hope you enjoyed this photo heavy entry!

UNSCRIPTED by Sarah Meier and Vicky Herrera


When two professional interviewers come together in one radio booth, the listener is guaranteed entertaining and insightful conversations.
It’s not common for radio shows to feature legends such as Madame Imelda Marcos, rockstar Raimund Marasigan, educator Gang Badoy, iconic hip-hop group Mastaplann, and PBA legend Jeff Cariaso, among many others, to guest. But “The Dollhouse”, a radio show hosted by Sarah Meier and Victoria Herrera, has.

Sarah Meier: Model, MTV VJ, TV host, scriptwriter, radio DJ, and newspaper columnist.

Victoria Herrera: Model, TV host, editor, radio DJ, journalist.

Now, they are adding something else to their already jam-packed resume: author of Unscripted.

Unscripted is a book of the compilations of the conversations Sarah and Vicky had with the Real OGs -  people who were deemed influential and innovative in their respective fields. Why? Well, let’s just say that the conversations were too valuable not to be immortalized. Reading about the different lessons and trials that each OG encountered in their rise to success is both inspiring and thought-provoking. Indeed, the unscripted conversations are the ones straight from the heart.

For more information about the book and to get a sneak peek of the excerpts (the one of Lourd de Veyra is already out!) please visit http://unscriptedconversations.com/.
