I always buy newspaper everyday and I was surprised to see that for the past two days the Kris-James-Hope brouhaha has been making the front page! Today's Philstar features the crash of the stock market as its head line and just below it is an update on the much talked about sexual liason of James and Hope.

C'mon, admit it... you've been watching all those talk shows just to see what's new! I admit I did catch the news Monday night and watched the recap of the Korina interview on Kris and James. Last night I also watched Ricky Lo's interview of Vicky Belo. His past two articles have also been about the trio.

Crazy! That's all I can say. Suddenly the election battle between the administration and the opposition has been upstaged! I bet ask anyone what's happening with the campaign of the opposing camps and they'd probably say "Duh?! "

James is probably thinking he's not the only guy who cheated on his wife... why all the fuss?! Not every guy is married to Kris Aquino dude!

What's up COACH?

This me torturing myelf by window shopping online. I know I have to save up for the wedding! I was just browsing in the net when I came upon the Coach website. Spring is in the air, hence, the inspiration for this collection. Evoking images of weekends in the beach, relaxing in the Hamptons, colors of the sun and sea...

Here are some of my favorites...oh, and not all of them are bags!

Too bad Coach left Rustan's. But if ever you're in the US, feel free to grab a bag for me!

Starla Flip Flop... how could I say no to a flip flop?!

PROJECT RUNWAY Season 4 begins...

The battle begins anew! Same old faces as far as the four gurus are concerned. Yes, Heidi Klum, Tim Gunn, Nina Garcia and Michael Kors will be there to make the designers' life a total hell. Banana Republic is out as their sponsor but the retail giant, Macy's, will be taking its place.

Season 3 actually ended months ago in the US, but at ETC, it has just started (Wednesdays at 10pm). The new season boasts of even crazier personalities. I read in the one site that Vera Wang, Kate Spade and Richard Tyler were some of the guest judges!

So, after watching American Idol at Starworld, I will be watching Project Runway!

Clicking my heels like Mary Poppins

I call this my Mary Poppins shoes from Schu. I told myself I would control my shopping urges because I need to save for my wedding. But while we were going around Galleria last Saturday after we paid our reservation fee at Crowne Plaza Hotel, I saw this pair and immediately asked for my size! They only have it in two colors: black and teal. I went with black, the most wearable color. I thought it was affordable enough at P1800. I doubt I could find the same style that cheap...



It's actually my first Schu purchase. I never could find a style that causes my heart to double over when I'm there. I always wait for that heart-stopping feeling... those palpitations when I see something I like. This one I totally felt it!

Bald down down there! Bald up there?!

Never was a fan but you can't seem to get away from her! Britney Spears is in the news again. Months after she flashed her bald pussy, she goes around sporting a shaven head ala Sinead O'Conner. She was seen in a tattoo shop in L. A. having one done on her wrist.

What happened to her?! She's crazy. Oh well, she makes a good front page for all those tabloids.

********************

Incidentally, I'm home right now taking a sick leave from the office. My allergies are really getting ugly. Way ugly! I went back to the doctor coz the meds she gave me doesn't seem to work. She referred me to a derma. She then gave me steroids to drink and to put on the rashes. Was holding my breathe wondering how expensive the meds would be. It wasn't THAT bad.

Tini came by with makabuhay vines he claims will be great for washing my rashes.

I was wondering if this steroids would make my boobs grow bigger...

New do for the Blairbitch

I was trying to fix our wedding blog and ended up changing mine too. Just something blue and something new...

Just simply bored.

Those fugly shoes!

Two years ago, I saw Teri Hatcher and her daughter in a magazine wearing matching Crocs. They were green. I thought it was so cute so I looked for it in the US while I was there. I never did get around buying a pair but was so happy when I found out they sold them here. Fast forward two years later and I'm still Croc-less.

Last night after Valentine's dinner with my family at Tatami in Serendra, we walked around and my mom saw the Crocs store. She demanded a pair from my dad as a Valentine's gift. So there we were, buying Crocs. My mom chose the red Maryjanes. I was seething with envy! Tini thought of giving me one for Christmas but for some weird reason he didn't. I found out about it and never forgave him for it!

I'm really a Havaianas girl but maybe a pair of Crocs -- ballet flats or Maryjanes -- wouldn't be so bad.
