  When they used this as one of the catwalk music at the Gingersnaps 20th anniversary fashion show: Loved it!♥ (I totally fell in love with the melody) I don't really understand French... though I would love to learn it...  (hihi) I am super drawn to these kind of music... Spanish, Italian version of songs... So i made a research what this song really means... It's entitled "La Claque" (The Slap) by Margaux Avril  La Claque Je trace la route et j'embarque Des rires des pleurs et des claques A la recherche d'un idéal... J'exprime un peu de remords, Tu n'avais pas toujours tort Mais trop de kilomètres Nous séparent déjà peut-être... Je fuis comme un bolide Le coeur pas très solide Quand vient la peur du vide... A chaque fois Je me perds et je craque C'est comme ça Je reviens comme une claque x2 Il est huit heures je m'éveille J'ai suivi tous tes conseils Mais rien n'y fait c'n'est plus pareil Un ge

So everybody is talking about this movie... When I saw the trailer, I was really meaning to watch this...  Not because of Papa P or Toni Gonzaga but the plot of the story which I find very interesting. We all have our own share of relationships... and I know some of us experienced this kind of "love story". I really feel for Ginny... Toni Gonzaga really proved something here... One of my favorite scene was when she's in her room crying her heart out... chanting... "Meron na syang iba!!!...." (Good acting here... very realistic!)  You can really feel her emotions...  The tag line: "How do I unlove you?" - I love this!!! (*wink!)  Because if you love somebody... even if you parted ways... it's not really that easy to unlove the person...as they say when you love someone, he / she will always remain in your heart forever.  Effort talaga on your part to move on and let go... and it's not done overnight... it takes time...

Temperature is rising! Can you feel it? Cool weather is starting to say "Sayonara" to us...  I can now feel the summer heat.  For the past weeks I've been going to work wearing the jacket I wore on my Winter holiday 2011 in Sydney... sleeping on jammies and cuddling my comforter (without the aircon or electric fan).  I know everyone will agree with me that: last weekend the "hanging amihan" was never felt in Manila... My sweat glands are so active!!! Summer is here! Are you summer ready?  I know everyone is very excited! Though I'm not totally obsessed about summer, since I am not a beach person.  I'd rather stay in-doors than go out in the sun... But what I love about summer is the fashion: colors, trends and style!   Here are some of my summer must haves: 1. Sunnies: I love wearing sunnies! (shades, sunglasses...whatever you call it!)  It protects our eyes from the sun... but you must always remember that if you buy sunnies be sure it
