Cebu Holy Week
During Holy Week, my family and I took a trip to Cebu. It was a four day trip with my family, the Porcallas and Kaela and Keene. We had such a blast during those four days and we went home with proof of it (my sunburn is still so dark!).
Our flight was at 4am. Yes, 4am! I've learned that it's not a good idea to cry yourself to sleep at night when you have to see people early the next day.

Good afternoon! I'm in a good mood despite having a 6 page culture paper due in 24 hours, blood gushing out of my lady parts at a gallon per millisecond and not having eaten anything since last night 7pm. Usually, I'd be a grumpy bear, but today I am not. It's because I just saw the photos from the 2011 Met Gala and they have turned my frown upside down. If you know of anything that pretty dresses cannot cure, please tell me.
After the royal wedding, all my excitement was shifted to waiting for the Met Gala. When I found out months ago that the event was to commemorate McQueen, I was thrilled. I haven't seen anything aside from the the attendees yet, but I'm excited to see reports of how the night went on. For new, I'll give you my best dressed.
Three stars:
These ladies I have given three stars. First is Michelle Williams in a Miu Miu dress. I love Michelle and I like this look, but I feel like it has aged her a bit. I really cannot get past her pixie cut and I still wish she would grow it out as she looks so much fresher with longer hair.
Dakota looks gorgeous as usual. She opted for a Valentino dress which suits her perfectly. The dress is gorgeous, but I only gave her three stars because I feel like she can do much better. He hair and make-up is okay and the look is okay. It's just not very surprising.
Stella McCartney's dress was a stunner as was she. Only problem: accessories or the lack thereof. The pulled back hair doesn't help either.
Last is Mary Kate. Shocked she didn't get 5 stars? Well, I loved her look when I first saw it. The red dress and the green accessories- match made in heaven! My issue is with the fit. The dress looks like it's swallowing her in some photos. Other than that, it is perfect!
In the category of Four Stars are these lovely ladies:
Ashley is my favorite Olsen. Here she is in a vintage Dior dress. The slit and cleavage are so sexy, but still tasteful. She looks like a movie star.
Beyonce's was the first gown that caught my eye. The Pucci dress (which I think was altered from the runway look) is so her. A dress this decadent wouldn't work on anyone else and I have to give her props for that.
Diane Kruger, always the red carpet favorite, looks stunning in a Jason Wu creation. I gave her 4 stars because I feel that she, being adventurous with fashion, could have gone with a more risque choice. Still, I think she looks amazing!
Zoe Saldana looks fresh in Calvin Klein Collection. Zoe is someone who can work these minimalist designs and make them stand out. I think the reason I put her in 4 stars is because I keep thinking of her purple Givenchy gown (you all know what I'm talking about) and nothing can measure up.
Last on this list in Emma Stone. I look at Emma and think that she can wear anything she likes and get away with it. I was a bit disappointed with this look, but she is beautiful, nonetheless. I think I put her here because 1. She is wearing Lanvin and 2. I am a stan.
Finally the five star females!
Nicole Richie wore a white Jason Wu with a black embellished clutch. This is probably once of my favorite Nicole looks ever. She looks so radiant in white! Also, does she age? I think not.
Liv Tyler wore Givenchy Haute Couture with a yellow clutch. Obviously, anyone who wears Givenchy and doesn't look like a trainwreck will be on the top list! She kept it simple with her hair loose. I'm sure someone else would have styled this dress better, but I'm not complaining. She looks great.
Ginnifer Goodwin wore this green low-cut dress. I think the necklace was the best part. Also, Ginnifer is one of those rare people that can work the pixie cut, in my opinion. I'm unsure about the shoes, but the rest is great!
There's Freida Pinto in Chanel. This woman is the epitome of beauty. That face! She wore this look well. I have nothing more to say.
A surprise addition to the usuals is Amy Poehler. Yes, that Amy Poehler. She looked stunning. Again, the necklace was the cherry on top of this sundae.
So, that is it for my best dressed list. I'm probably going to update this once more photos come out, but that will be after I finish this culture paper. Gah, school! That's all folks. I have to go check out how there is a man pounding out my window in my second story room.

Every single year I look forward to the Coachella music festival held in California. When I mean I look forward to it, I mean I check the line-up the moment it is announced, check out those bands included that I don't know of, watch the sucky videos of the performances posted on YouTube, check out all the photos of the best dressed people there.
This year, they had a wonderful lineup (although some of my favorite bands that I expected to be there weren't, it's all good). When I found out there would be a live streaming of the whole festival on YouTube, I was psyched- no I was ecstatic! As much as I wanted to clear my schedule and stay home to watch the show, I had to do a bunch of errands and go to school. I still got to see a bunch of the acts that were posted on YouTube. The only act that I really wanted to watch, but am still unable to is The Strokes. The quality of the vids uploaded are so horrible I can't hear the sounds properly. If anyone finds a decent version, please let me know!
One of my favorite parts of Coachella- or any event at all- is seeing what everyone decided to wear. I was excited to see which celebrities attended. There are those people whose styles are always Coachella-ready. People like Isabel Lucas, Whitney Port and, Coachella veteran, Kate Bosworth are one of said people. Then there are those people who go all out during the festival, like this girl in a bikini. Hey, if you've got it, flaunt it!
Coachella shouldn't just be about the huge flock of celebrities that attend it (Really, do these people even listen to these bands?) or the things the people choose to wear (although they can be quite the spectacle). It's about the music! I was really thrilled to see Mumford and Sons, Crystal Castles, Robyn, Warpaint, The Strokes, Kings of Leon, Two Door Cinema Club, Foals, Kanye West and Ellie Goulding.
My favorite act was definitely Kanye. Even if he isn't my favorite artist out of all the ones there, he gave the best performance. The set was amazing, the dancers were wild and he was a beast when he performed! Never expect anything less from Kanyesus.
Warpaint was adorable! I love these girls, I have a thing for all girl bands. If you haven't heard of these ladies, you should definitely check them out. They are brilliant.
Foals & Mumford and Sons were so good that I decided to download their videos to my phone. Marcus is amazing and I kind of fell in love watching him sing on stage. And then there's Jack Bevan, the drummer of Foals. Ah, ginger musicians are my weakness (see Alex Trimble). Every Mumford and Sons song was great, but my favorite was Little Lion Man. I love it when a band starts a song and they start the first riff (is that what it's called?) and the crowd recognizes the songs and they all scream in unison. That's probably be the most exhilarating part of a song IMO.
There are fabulous ladies that I was glad to have caught on the live stream. Robyn and Ellie Goulding were fantastic! Ellie has the most amazing voice! She's a goddess. She looks amazing in what looks like what I wear to go to sleep. How do you do it, Ellie?
If I could just watch one show out of all those in the lineup, I'd probably pick Crystal Castles. Alice Glass is amazing. Look at this bitch stage diving with a broken foot. I wasn't able to catch the live stream so I had to watch the shitty YouTube uploads and there were very few of them. From the few videos that I had seen, I can tell it was one hell of a show! There was this part where the whole place looked like a rave! Fucking Crystal Castles, yo!
UGH COACHELLA, SOMEDAY!!!!!!!!!
Let me leave you with this video that will leave you with eternal LOLs.
