The Top Ten Chanel Purses and Handbags of 2008.. Will Josef Elizalde make a voluntary exit?.. PBB Updates: who's who between Kevin and Linda?.. Some helpful tips for penniless tourists on how to survive Baguio..
You knew it was coming - inevitably, every fashionista worth his or her critical stare and designer digs must pay homage to Coco Chanel. I am no exception; why would I even want to be?! The lady revolutionized the way we see fashion, laying the foundations upon which all of modern ladies’ fashion is built. Thanks to her, ladies can wear anything men can - oversized cardigans, slacks, shots, mens shirts. We also have her to thank for the sweeping popularity of jersey-knit and more flowy, comfortable fabrics. Women used to be confined to long skirts and full-on dresses: Chanel gave them the freedom and flexibility provided by alternate modes of dressing. As for the 21st century, well, we’re still waiting for someone as visionary as Chanel - someone who could take a common affliction of humanity and turn it into an aesthetically pleasing pillar of design.
OK, enough on Chanel herself. For all you stylish ladies out there, I’m writing a post on Chanel Purses and Handbags. We all know that none of you would be caught dead without a Chanel clutch with your evening gown, or a Chanel tote hanging by your bed… Or the legendary crossed C’s on some sort of purse in your room (or on a pedestal or with a spotlight shining on it). The point is, women (and some, ah, guys?) have fallen under the spell of Chanel - and the easiest way to quell the craving is by sporting a Chanel bag. So, without further ado, I present: The Top 10 Chanel Purses and Handbags of 2008 as per the Gospel According to Fashion Hobo!!!
After garnering 49% of votes among the other nominated housemates last nomination night, meaning, having a huge number of fans among his four other competitors; 16-year old Josef Elizalde announced yesterday that he's having a voluntary exit due to her auntie, who couldn't make up with the sleeping habits inside the house.
Since according to Big Brother, the guardian's housemate will be affected if the guardian decides to leave the house; Josef Elizalde will then be "forced" to be evicted due to PBB house policies.
For Josef aficionados, it's never new to us that he really wanted to become a celebrity, as he have tried several modeling careers just so to be discovered by the public televiewers as well as the cameras. We have seen him on Chippy Commercial, and now, he's making a big leap inside the PBB house, being one of the 'populars' for his good looks, sense of humor and witty attitude.
Will Josef Elizalde finally give up his dream just for his aunt? Wouldn't he fight for his right to stay inside the house? Will the PBB's rating be affected? We'll find out on Saturday night so stay tuned.
Meanwhile, here's an exclusive interview of Josef Elizalde... Got this from YouTube. Enjoy!
Will it be the Bikini Babe? or the Spanish Stallion?
Seems both of them are portraying disapproving attitudes inside the house--according to most housemates. But according to polls, surveys and websites; most PBB fans are having a hard time who's who between the two. Both have good looks and are blessed with foreign breeds (which is considered a plus; but definitely not a basis for our votes.
16-year old Linda Backlund still has to fix the 'misunderstanding' between her mom and dad; while 18-year old Kevin Garcia, along with his dad John are doing all the efforts to earn money just for Kevin's sport (horse riding). His parents are also separated, but unlike Linda's parents; both are supporting Kevin in all his needs. Moreover, we still have to know more about Linda and Kevin; but for us to vote wisely, I should say that we must know their purpose in joining the show and weighing all the reasons.
So, who do you think will stay? Is it the Bikini Babe or the Spanish Stallion? The answer is in your votes. Vote wisely.
I will be accompanying my mom on our way to Baguio next week.We always spend our summer vacation there while mommy is busy with her summer session office works. I just wonder how to spend those seven long weeks in Baguio being broke and alone. The city of Pines is such a nice place with those unusual huge sunflowers and the cold climate. However, you can’t afford to enjoy it if you literally can’t afford with those strawberries and other stuffs there.
On the other hand, I would prefer much to get lost in Baguio despite being penniless than to couch on my sofa and watch TV at home all day.As an old cliché would say it, money can’t buy happiness—and that small city, combined with your adventurer spirit is all worth it!
Meanwhile, as I think about my sole plans for that week, here are some suggestive tips on how to survive being broke in Baguio.
· Having a jacket, a pair of rubber shoes and the camera phone is all what it takes to enjoy your stay.Start your journey at the heart of Baguio—the Session Road with a row of business estabs which includes restaurants, bookstores, etcetera; plus, buy unique and cheap love potions sold by Igorots.
· Go to St. Scholastica’s Healing Garden for meditation.
· Of course, the beautiful Burnham Park.It’s best to jog around there in mornings.Biking costs only 40 pesos or less.
· Take pictures of the beautiful flowers in Botanical Garden.For your info, Baguio is the home to the fully bloomed flowers.That’s why they celebrate Panagbenga Festival during February.
· Kneel and pray at the Pink Sisters. (There was a time when I was a child that I picked up the white stones there and brought it home as a souvenir of my stay there.Very funny, but I suggest doing the same will make you feel nostalgic later).
· For environmental tour, go to Maryknoll’s Cosmic Journey (along Campo Sioco Road). It’s a very beautiful place so take pictures.
· At night, enjoy the scenic view of SM Baguio (which looks more of a Chinese mansion erected at the top of the mountain.Very beautiful).
· Feel like you’re on top of the world at the Mines’ View Park
· Walk along Kennon road and find out the secret caves there.
Who says you have to take the cab and have extra-money for you to get all there? Just walk.Burning those fats is very easy co’z you won’t battle with the Sun’s scorching heat.Besides, Baguio is a small place but there’s still a lot more to find out.Walk around to discover the adventure and I assure you, you won’t get lost.

They’re best of friends forever—from good times to bad times. But does that mean copying your best friend’s every move—from having a steady boyfriend to family planning?

He’s strict and sarcastic on TV. He’s not generous in giving praises. And to most Americans, he’s the worst American Idol judge among them.
But when the lights are off and behind those camera scenes, Simon Cowell has a generous heart after all especially when it comes to charity. After seeing first-hand children in extremely indigent conditions while traveling to Africa and touring sites in the US last year as part of the inaugural Idol Gives Back campaign, he donated his paycheck right away and had no hesitations in donating his paycheck again this year.
According to other sources, our very own Ramielle Malubay also confirmed Cowell’s being kindhearted for giving her his shoulders after being eliminated in the show.
Charities receiving donations as part of this year’s Idol Gives Back include: The Children’s Defense Fund, Children’s Health Fund, The Global Fund, Make it Right, Malaria No More, and Save the Children.
