Fancy drinking tap water?
A new infographic using research from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) identifies which countries have safe water for visitors – and which do not.
The information indicated on the new study does not necessarily mean that countries indicated as “unsafe” have water that is necessarily unclean or polluted.

Funny man Seth Rogen and Oscar-nominated James Franco makes me crack and teary-eyed laughing at their bizarre photos on Instagram! After their parody of the much-panned ( the last time i checked, best-selling Vogue cover, but who wants to know?) Kanye West and Kim Kardashian magazine cover and music video, they are in for another big surprise.
Both men goes naked (though photos are pixelated) for a show on Discovery Channel called “Naked and Afraid”. The popular show follows two strangers who meet for the first time and must figure out a way to survive – i.e, find food and shelter – whilst naked.
Kinda mouthful, but here are some snaps!
the men with both arms wrap around each other, fully naked.
with the show’s signature necklace… they’ve been shooting at an unidentified forest.

I am writing all my WORDPRESS stuff at the comfort of my 15sqm room at the outskirt of METRO MANILA (yes, the tiny country you’ve been dying to know which part in ASIA exactly, and where MANNY PACQUIAO is the unofficial NATIONAL HERO!). I have been asked twice by some readers if i was in PARIS (would love to!) and even gone too far if i was writing these silly articles (his words, not mine) in PHUKET trying to get my ass fucked by some gay foreigner. Thank you very much!
So much for camaraderie.
Judging by the numbers of A-list celebrities and gawkers at Louis Vuitton’s Spring/Summer 2015 show, it was rather humiliating if one didn’t get an invite. Gladly enough, LVMH made the right decision of limiting the number of IMPORTANT people who matters to the brand (sorry Kim!).
It was Nicholas Ghesquiére second collections for the luxury brand and the unveiling of the Frank Gehry-designed Foundatioin Louis Vuitton, the 126,000-square-foot, $120 million museum of contemporary art which will house LVMH chairman Bernard Arnault’s collection of modern art, and which officially opens later this month (more here: http://www.fondationlouisvuitton.fr/).
And in the words of UK Vogue, Sarah Harris, “Ghesquiére cemented his arrival at this house and confidently swept his audience up in the bold new direction in which he’s steering this mothership, the jewel in the LVMH crown. We were all aboard, and then some. The music, the venue, the casting, the believability of these clothes, his girl, the execution of it all combined, arguably made it the show of the season.”
AMEN!

I’m a bag fanatic. Although the appeal of an “It” bag from my own perspective is synonymous to owning something that is fashionable and chic (days and months later, that “IT” landed on some WAG’s or the WRONG CELEBRITIES!!!) that had gone awry even before Elvie’s left the building. Much like Hermes’s BIRKIN bag, the mother of all luxury bags, it used to have a lasting appeal of sophistication but eventually killed when someone like Kim Kardashian or worst local celebrities had caught up with the TREND! Why carry a BIRKIN as an evening bag when it was invented to be carried as a DAY BAG? But the worst scenario came when i saw someone used their BIRKIN as a gym bag. Hilarious!
Moving forward, CELINE, the French luxury brand, known for its chic and “cool minimal trend”, presented its SPRING/SUMMER 2015 ready-to-wear collections in Paris over the weekend. Since i can’t afford the couture, i sticked my sorry ass in buying the accessories line. Phoebe Philo, the head creative director, as always showed some impeccable modern pieces on the runway, but judging from the impression of its minimalist approached to accessories, it fell flat! Just like Naomi Campbell falling face flat in Vivienne Westwood!!!!!
It must have to do something with Anouck Duranteau-Loeper, the accessories director at CELINE, who was rumored to have been courted by the newly-revamped PACO RABANNE!
See for yourself here!!! Even the shoes lookin’ all clunky and motherly.

Just got a copy of US Vogue October 2014 issue, Reese Witherspoon on the cover, with some sort of “the REAL Reese” tagline. I didn’t read the article on her, with the same boring stuff about her privilege life trying to convince the world she is just like the rest of us! Normal and imperfect! Hookay!!!

One of the most interesting part about it was the article on Mrs. George Clooney, the stunning British-born Lebanese lawyer, Amal Alamuddin. She got grace, she got style and she ain’t your ordinary girl-next-door buddy! Amal is a barrister for the London-based Doughty Street Chambers, specialising in international law, criminal law, human rights, and extradition. Her career as a lawyer gained her notoriety because of some high-profile cases she handles for some of the worlds most notorious clients and organizations! Man, that’s a mouthful!
On some parts of the world where Vogue has its presence (mostly international editions from some of the world’s richest and emerging economies ) i am always excited to get a glimpse on Brits, French and Italian editions. Unless the holy spirit descended from Heaven and gifted me with Language to utter I would love to devour each pages of different international editions. But hell no, i ain’t Jesus!

On a lighter note, ADVANCED STYLE, a blog by street style photographer Ari Seth Cohen, which was turned into a best-selling book (2012), a documentary directed by Lina Plioplyte, will have its premiere at New York cinemas. The documentary sift through the stylish lives of seven eccentric, over-60 New York fashion mavens whose lives have become the symbol of age and flair, a true testament that age is just a number.

If you are like the rest of local celebrities, society airheads, and fashion victims who trailed to get their hands off a latest designer duds and “it” things (be it fashion, food, travel…) then post it on INSTAGRAM for all the poor souls to salivate, perhaps you’ve heard the word FASHION WEEK? If not, then it’s not my problem anymore. OR perhaps you are just one of those losers who wouldn’t care less about the world.
Anyways, FASHION WEEK ( from the ever reliable but not dependable WIKIPEDIA) have this mouthful…” is a fashion industry event, lasting approximately one week, which allows fashion designers, brands or “houses” to display their latest collections in runway shows and buyers and the media to take a look at the latest trends.

Don’t even count our very own PHILIPPINE FASHION WEEK, because up to this day, or even in your lifetime, Anna Wintour and the travelling circus of powerful editors and fashion buyers around the world will never descend on NAIA 1 or 3 to smooch on our local designers. If London and Milan aren’t good enough for some of them, then what good would it bring to Manila? With the exemption of Shanghai and Tokyo for some important trunk shows and store openings.

The whole mixed crowds of fashion elites, A-list Hollywood celebrities, the powerful socialites (NOTE: those who wake up in their Chanel and Dior haute couture), and let us all admit with great sigh of disgust and jealousy, the KARDASHIANS!!! will all convened in the most fashionable city on the face of the planet, PARIS.
a mixed crowd of power players and perverts… kidding! courtsey: http://www.trbimg.com/
Known for being the city of all things chic, Paris will feature all the latest offerings from some of the industry’s biggest names including Louis Vuitton, Balenciaga, Alexander Mcqueen, Christian Dior and Chanel starting September 23- October 2.
The Spring-Summer 2015 ready-to-wear shows has begun. Ninety-three shows, nine days, and a whole yard of glamour and chicness spreads all over Paree…
The truth is… this guy’s manhood is the reason why i am such a despicable person who couldn’t stop lusting and salivating over hunky men. When the universe was created, and giftedness (in all categories) for all humanity was spread, he must have been a good boy that he so deserved a well-hung penis. HAHAHA!!!
Who is HE?
Gifted!!! nuff said.

How come Pinoy actor Jake Cuenca looks so flubby?
This is it. I have been planning to create my own blog after two years of carefully studying and sometimes manipulating people, just to get my hands on WORDPRESS. My ignorance in computer 101 took me back when dinosaurs roamed the earth and Marie Antoinette quipped ” Let them eat cake” which literally, eat the whole shit of her entire head. Life was so good to me, having found the love of my life, who normally spends every other day ,fucking me before he gets to work (but it brings so much sunshine in him, he bounced around the room). My entire life savings (if there is anything left) will be spent on my ONLY child’s education, STD consultation (i have a feeling he will be a STUD), and HOPEFULLY his entire future ahead of him until such time that i die and will be buried…in DIOR, of course.
I am afraid, seriously AFRAID that many bashers and haters will just kicked me out of my Manolos for my debauchery, and since i was born and raised in a THIRD world province in a THURD world country, ENGLISH is not my first language (but I do speak in the manner the Duchess of Cambridge was brought into.. i mean the VERY FIRST DUCHESS..from Cambridge, of course!) and GRAMMAR will put me on the level of my toddlers schoolteacher.
A way to enjoy life is to share the overtly funny sexual encounters i have with so many people (past and present, gay and straight), gossips on celebrity bitches and social leeches everybody loves to hate and fuck with, people who could care less whether you’re fashionable or a total disaster, my psychopath friends (who are less than fabulous but their friendship is forever), former bosses who fired me (past and present,who swear Baleno and Bench are couture and Banana Republic is haute couture, this is the last laugh of a Catholic-educated pariah.
Enjoy!!!
