"ang araw na ako'y naBENGA!"

-mrs.j

Playmate: Mirriam Quiambao?

...from MISS U runner up

now...PLAYMATE?!

...is it a WINNER?
or a RUNNER UP again?

for the Pix...thanks to Mr. Dennis Celestial

sana nagBACKOUT sa BLACKOUT!

CHAKA! walang kasing CHAKA!...translation...PANGET!

muli na naman nagsanib ang mga kafatid sa pananamplataya! sarado ang mga parlor sa kamynilaan at ang mga bars mukhang wla pang laman! bakit? dahil dito! un nah!

...fresh from Araneta C. in Cubao, me and my friends are there to witness this "every-two" years event of if NOT the but ONE of THE most successful clothing chain in the country or should i say in Asia?

Every 2 years Su Yen Corporation, a company known for the following brands:

a. CELIO
b. Kashieca
c. Oishi
d. Human
e. Bench

had been producing fashion shows for the brand that made stars like RICHARD GOMEZ, JOMARI YLLANA, WENDELL RAMOS and DIETHER OCAMPO to name a few became a household nme and an established celebrity. I'm talking about the brand BENCH/.

now on its 4th or 5th year i think they once again produced another fashion show themed:

"BLACKOUT"

...with again fab billboards, effective promo, posters and releases that made all the sangkabadingans go to every bench outlets and demand for the ticket. every fashion show you'll surely compare it with the previous year kasi iba ng iba! bongga kung bongga talaga! nakakaloka...but this year, i was...ahmmm how should i say it? ahmmm hmmmm...aahhh...ehhhh
some what?!...hmmmph...errr.... okay fine...erghhh... basta ANG CHAKA CHAKA NIYA! PROMISE!

_ _ _ _ _

Bench Fashion shows have been dubbed as THE "Victoria's Secret fashion show" of the Philippines, but what happen? here are my breakdown/summary of the show...

*late- pinoy time fine!
*set- ito ang unang kakabog sayo..infairness they went sa minimalist simpleng white ramp stage and high ladder plus irritating White panels at top and an alien-ship like circles "i-dont-know-its purpose" looking display above.
*panels are way low audience located at the upper section like me cannot see the mother panel board located in the middle of the stage.
*blinding lights- which is normal naman pero you know the feeling na parang its not effective?

Show Proper:

i read an article that the flow of the program is like this:

OPENING: DINGDONG DANTES
MIDDLE PART: RICHARD GUTIERREZ
FINALE: PIOLO PASCUAL

eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeengkkkkkkkkk! NOT TRUE!,

... it started with the music which i believe, i think? eh to estblish the vibe, the feel of the event why did i say so? ang oa kasi sa tagal ng music na pinatugtog! then models came...tapos abs cbn's precious love team kim and gerald opened the show with kim in a cute kimono type top and colored jeans (i cant remmber the color) with umbrella-infairness shes pretty! while gerald in his army type green pants and a "this- is-not-a coat-wait-it-is-a-coat-i-think?" top. tapos models again...tapos stars like john pratts, reyver cruz...and others ramped their way in the stage without me understanding the blockings...mukhang ganun ata talaga ang instruction sa kanila...tapos hmmm ano pa ba? wait to make this short eto nalang...sidelights of the show:

- sarah geronimo was there muntik siyang nadulas dahil sa trail ng outfit nia.
- jake cuenca matapos magkambyo sa mga nakaraang fashion shows e nagpakita ng butt nia (naka-t-bak si kuya sa loob ng jumper type na damit nia!)
- magaling maglakad si bubbles paraiso.
- ang sarap ni sam! yun na! no more explanation btw parang xtra lang siya ang bilis...
- naghubad si rafael rossel!
- ang daming fans ni robby of pbb teen plus kaysa sa grand winner na si ej falcon
- baklang bakla si enchong dee!
- si mr. ust david chua...balot na balot...bayan!
- mas madami ang male models kaysa girls
- may dance number na mali mali ang mga male models in their nudes silang lahat!
- panalo ang mga headdress ito lang ata nagustuhan ko at ang avp.
- kamukha daw ni francine si aiai d.
- nakasisilaw ang kaputian ni ruffa mae
- magaling rumampa si priscilla maerellis (ms. earth 05 o 06?)
- ang payat at josa ni angelica p.!
- si wendell- boring di nia natapatan un mga dati nia, si jomari ahhhh nagpatawa?

-madaming butt exposure na kahit ikaw na ang pinaka ma-el na babae o bading magsasawa ka na!
- mas pinalakpakan si dingdong kaysa kay richard gutierrez
- magugulat ka na tapos na, at mamumutawi sa iyong bibig na..."un lang?!" at sisigaw ng "chaka!"
- may new crush pala si ron of be bench runner up! laki... un nah!
- si jay-r? hmmm andun siya somewhere...

_ _ _ _ _

sori...ang taas kasi ng expectation ko..and i like the concept i thought bench is setting again a trend where in color is out! black and white is in! pansinin sa lahat ng stores diba? tapos ganun ang nangyari?! gawd... sayang... magulo ang blockings, boring walang energy...basag ang music... gone are the days na may live musical accompaniments at alive na alive mga models at artista...
sayang di achieve ang concept...sayang hindi handa...parang gustong mairaos lang...

_ _ _ _ _

i'm sure Ben Chan is not happy with it too...i know mr. Lozada- director, your not happy with it too...richard gomez and lucy t. salamat at di na kayo rumampa...pero atleast you stayed till the end unlike the couple kris a. and james y., sayang talaga it could have been better...mas onti din artista this time...hay... CHAKA talaga i'm sorry! bumawi kayo ng bongga next fashion show! eefort ba ko ng ganito if its not true?! i came kasi not just for the bodies...wel siguro fine oo na! 50% of it! pero ba naman the other half e for the SHOW! better luck next time!

I have a friend of a friend who has given me a little behind the scenes scoop... her boyfriend has a relative at MUO so I get some scoop from time to time... take it for what it's worth... believe me or not... I don't really care either way. I'm not saying these girls are definitely in the top group... these are just who are being looked at closely now.

This is what I'm hearing.

First, the girls the Trump Organization are looking at for the locked in spots in the top 15... Angola, Croatia, Finland, Germany, Japan, Mexico, Philippines, Slovak Republic, Singapore, and USA. Also, Vietnam will likely advance because they are hosting, but she is not as strong as the others.

DO look for a lot of Asians in the top group, but not necessarily in the top spot at the end.

DO NOT look for USA to advance beyond top 6.

There is a lot of POSITIVE buzz, apparently, about Israel.

There is some talk of crowning a winner from a country that doesn't usually do very well, and the most talked about are Guam, Honduras, Israel, and Mauritius.

The Philippines delegation is upset, though quiet, about their country's name being spelled incorrectly in the program or something and this was a sign of disrespect, apparently... not sure what that might be about. Look for Philippines in the top 15, almost definitely.

Apparently, Puerto Rico and Venezuela have been disappointments thus far, but of the two Puerto Rico is performing better. Both girls are expected to step it up when the judging begins, so I'm confident they will be in the top 15... that's my opinion, though.
_ _ _ _ _

kung TRUE man ito o hindi, especially yung tungkol sa our country's name
being mispelled ay pakiramdam ko dapat ka talagang maupset, day! your there to represent

...but before my fellow THOMASIAN,

Bb. Pilipinas-Universe '08, Jennifer Barrientos- a Tourism graduate

isa pa ulit local pageant and known for its LOVE FOR THE EARTH ang magaganap muna. May 11 2008 at the Crowne Plaza Manila telecast in ABS CBN 2.

MISS PHILIPPINES-EARTH 2008

...and again 3 of the 41 candidates are THOMASIANS! bongga diba?!

here they are in their Long Gown Competition:

Miss La Union- Ma. Kristina Tabas

...a Behavioral Science graduate

Miss Marikina- Ma. Angelica Liboon

...a Communication Arts graduate

Miss Obando, Bulacan- Marian Michelle Oblea

...a Pharmacy graduate

...Miss Obando won Best in Long gown!

iba talaga kaming mga TOMASINO diba?! now in their Bathing Suit

during the press preview:

Miss La Union

si Tabby ay nako...beauty inside and out! she is the president of a univ-wide organization in UST, UST UNICEF o diba?! bongga for a cause talaga ang beauty nia!

Miss Marikina

unlike some of the candidates Maica is really representing her city, she actually won the title at isa sa past time ng lola mo ang pag sali sa mga modelling or beauty pageant- ka kors ko kaya makapal ang fez!

Miss Obando

kung si maica eh hobby lang ito si Michelle ay buhay nia! she was Miss UST 2006, she joined last years' Mutya ng Pilipinas and won Best in Terno. career kung career ang ate kong ito! di ako magtataka if she's in Binibini next year!

o diba di mo maipagkakailang parang ako lang?haha

next competition naman ay in their Regional Costume girls pasok! :

according 'to sa pagkakaexplain nila ng costume.

La Union

because her province is known for the beaches na sight daw for surfing

kaya it is the waves of the sea inspired gown!

Marikina

in her shoes inspired pink gown, because marikina nga naman eh known for shoe making!

Obando

known for those who wants to have a baby or di pa nabibiyayaan kaya sila sumasayaw and that is why she is wearing a fertility dance inspired gown!

...sadly competition ito at maraming threat! and in my opinion

she is Miss Candaba, Pampanga!

o dyosa diba?! marunong umimote si ate mo!

at mukhang nangangarir din itong kapampangang ito

bakit ba ka nio?!!! o eto...

...
