HOW INSPIRING.

In my life (how dramatic), there have been 4 people who have changed my life. They've inspired me in soo many ways and gave my life something to look forward to. =))

I call these 4 people "MY BIG FOUR".

They affected me in sooo many ways and made me make my own blog too! Now each one contributes something different in my life.

The Sartorialist

The Sartorialist was the first one that I've heard of. My brother told me about him and I got hooked. He was my "beginning" and would always serve as an inspiration to me.

Garance Dore

Garance Dore, everytime I read her blog, sounds like the sister I never had =)) I love her blog because it's girly and has funny comments. The way she writes is not too serious but sooo informative in soo many ways. Another thing she contributes to my life are her beautiful illustrations which inspires me as well as I love to draw too. That's why I fell in love with her. Her illustrations + quirky and humorous posts + amazing photos + the feeling like she's the sister I never had is an equation to AWESOMENESS IN MY BOOK . :)))

PLUS! She's French and I would never have thought that the French have such a good sense of humour! AND, she's not afraid to act childlike which is cool as well. :D

Jak&Jil's Tommy Ton

Tommy Ton=amazing candid photos. I DO NOT KNOW HOW HE GETS THOSE AMAZING SHOTS. HE MUST HAVE FAST REFLEXES. He makes me want to be a better photographer. :)

and

Face Hunter

Last but definitely not the least, Face Hunter. His photos shows the world and how small yet how many a variety it can be. (LABO, I hope you got that hahaha.) =)) I also love how he doesn't care whatever you wear (ehem, LABELS/BRANDS,ehem) as long as you are who you are. :)

These 4 are the best and they are posted in order, by in order, I meant the order on how I discovered them. :)) Just click on their names to check out their blogs. I would love to share these awesome guys to you because they changed my life in a good way and I loved their blogs and I'm sure that you will love it too.

Face Hunter in Manila!!!

My feelings when I was about to go to Bonifacio High Street to meet Face Hunter aka Yvan Rodic was excited/nervous/psyched/freaked out!!! Yes, all those feelings in one day, people. I could feel my pulse racing everytime I think about it.

Went there early, like an hour early so I had time to look at the books.
Just to make it clear, Fully Booked is my fave bookstore aside from National Bookstore. =))) I love art materials! AND ART BOOKS. :)

There were soo many fashionable people who went there and I felt soooo shy as the crowd got thicker. Guess who I saw in the book signing event :> :> :>

Guess who this red headed chick is :>

I was in line for buying Face Hunter's book when he came in! I was starstrucked and when he looked at me, I looked away! SILLY BILLY, I GOT SOOOO SHY!!! =))))

There he is fixing his haiirr.. *swoon*

Stalker pics when he was talking to someone on the phone, probably his girlfriend? =)) I dunno.

And here he is in the Q&A portion...
He answered the questions so nicely and he even made us laugh with his witty antics.

Oh, this is me and my newlyfound friend, Steff Yu. She's awesome and very funny.

This was before the signing began, my friend told me to go get a pic with him and he kind enough to oblige! I said "Thank you!" and he said "My pleasure" :D

Now, it was my turn after this girl and my hands were sweating and I was kind of fidgeting when I got there in line. =)))

AND THEN IT WAS MY TUURRNN~~~~

He was soo nice when I had a VERY little chat with him

Then I asked him about Balut and he couldn't eat it at all :)) CUTE.

I asked him if I could get a hug as well just like what my cousin did and he said yes! :))))

AND HE DID A PEACE SIGN FOR MEEE!!~~~~
*swoon. deadz. adorablleee~~~*

After he signed my book, I went to this lady who caught my attention because her outfit was sooo cooollll!!!
She was so nice and adorable because she was with her son who looked fashionable as well, I found a vid of them together and I shall post it later. :)) I asked her what her name was and she said it's TESS SINGSON! :) SUCH A NICE LADY.

From the video I saw she said her outfit comprised of a Comme des Garcon jacket, Matthew Williams hand bag, LanvinxH&M shirt, and Topshop shoes! SHE IS JUST SO COOOOLLL!!!

And the girl with the red hair? IT'S GAROVS GARROVILLO from Everywhereweshoot :D She's sooo cool and in this photo we we're laughing coz when I asked her if I could have a photo with her, she asked "Oh, why me?!" :))

I was sooo shy to tell her why but it was because when I first read about her in the Preview's Best Dressed List, I found her sooo cool that she didn't change the way she wears clothes just because her grandma didn't like her outfits. :))))) OKAY, I'm soo mababaw but yeah. Thought she was cool, okayz? :))

She's soo cute and petite but she's soo pretty. :)

With Steff. Trixie was the one taking photos. THANKS BTW! :)

And Andre Chang was there. I love the Chang siblings!

I was kind of shy to ask for a photo but my friend told me to do soooo, so here it is! He was so kind as well to say yes for the photo, I was a happy child when he said yes.
Oh, btw, Andre Chang and his sister Daryll Chang works for the coolest local magazine in the Phils, Preview Magazine :>

After the book signing, we roamed BHS for something to eat. The place was jam-packed and every restaurant was full. Lucky for us we got to eat at Italliani's but before we got to eat there, my friend's Trixie and Steff went to Sonja's for some cool cupcakes.

Then I got home. :) It was a day I will never forget. My palms sweating, lips dry, and pulse beating fast because of the excitement and awe I felt seeing one of my idols was great. I think I'd feel the same if I meet The Sartorialist and Garance Dore *WINK WINK*..or maybe worse, I'd die. =))))))
KIDDING. WAG NAMAN SANA.

What I Wore to Face Hunter's Book Signing Event.

This is what I wore to the book signing event held yesterday, December 29, 2010 in Bonifacio High Street, where I met Yvan Rodic in person. (Ee-van Ro-ditch)

As I was dressing up, I was totally freaking out because I had no idea what to wear and I've been thinking about what to wear for days!!! I changed shirts like a gazillion times already but decided to use wear this to the event.

I'm wearing my favourite Topshop Bowler Hat, Zara Band Jacket, Topman suspenders, Zara leather shoes, and my mom's vintage Chanel bag. :)

My friend Rosa told me to do something about my hair and so I decided to wax it up.

This is my hair with the bowler hat on.

And my Christmas present from my mother, Zara leather shoes! :) LOVE IT!!!

Oh, and I'm wearing my bro's Christmas gift for me as well! The Swatch watch which I really adore. Next post, meeting the man himself!
