One night, sometime in April of this year, I was waiting for my wife to arrive while I’m inside a 7-11 outlet in Quirino. And I was counting… 10 out of 10 men wearing this kind of checkered walking shorts were either gay or paminta (pa-men, baklang nagpapanggap na lalake).

Now tell me if my samples were not enough. I’ll be counting for more.

Yes, hard driveS.

Litratong Pinoy 0908 » Polo/Blusa at Paboritong Alahas

Huli man daw at magaling, hahabol parin. Kaya naman heto ang aling pahabol na lahok sa lingguhang Litratong Pinoy para sa temang Blusa/Polo at Paboritong Alahas.

Sa pagkaka-intindi ko, ang blusa ay tulad din ng polo na may bukas sa bandang harapan na isinasara sa pamamagitan ng mga butones. Pero wala akong blusa o polo kaya naman ipinilit ko nalang itong si Wang Ba Dan sa kanyang kasuotang hindi ko alam kung anong tawag.

Ang relos naman sa larawan ay binili ko noong taong 2004 sa mga bangketa ng Akihabara sa Japan. Sa aking pagkakatanda, nabili ko lamang ito sa halagang 2,000 yen o humigit-kumulang sa 800 piso noong mga panahong ‘yon.

Dahil may mga raket kaming pinagkaka-abalahan, muntikan ko nang makalimuta na Huwebes pala ngayon. Paumanhin sa mga litratistang pinoy, heto na ang aking lahok para sa linggong ito.

Heto si Tifa, suot at lilang panlamig habang nakikipag-lambutsingan kay Vincent, anak ng isang Sweden national sa isang Pinay. Kuha ito noong ika-26 ng Disyembre habang kami’y naghihintay sa eroplanong aming sasakyan pabalik ng Pilipinas. Ang lilang panlamig na ito ay pamaskong regalo kay Tifa mula sa isa sa mga kaibigan namin sa Kunshan.

Ito ang aking lahok sa lingguhang Litratong Pinoy para sa temang Lila (Violet).

Tifa in Harajuku Girls Fashion

Harajuku is an area in Tokyo between Shinjuku and Shibuya where the infamous Harajuku Girls fashion became a hit among Japanese youth in the area. According to Wikipedia, the term Harajuku Girls has been used by English-language media to describe teenagers dressed in any fashion style who are in the area of Harajuku since 2004. These girls may be affiliated to some youth groups such as Gothic Lolita, Ganguro, Gyaru, and Kogal, or may often cosplay as characters from an anime, movie, or manga which explains the character designs of the Harajuku Fashion.

Currently in the Philippines, despite it’s being a tropic, Harajuku fashion is becoming a hit among the youngsters and young adults. I don’t know how they cope with this kind of fashion in a tropical country but who cares anyway. Fashion is fashion and is never a crime.

When we came across a flea market selling Harajuku Girls clothes for kids, we can’t help but look for something that will fit Tifa and haggle until the price is right. At least it’s cold in this part of the hemisphere so Tifa could deal with the Harajuku.

Here’s Tifa in her Harajuku attire. I hope we could find a more Goth Lolita or at least when she grow taller.

Halloween party, anyone?

Mags, books at ang g-shirt ng mga gwapo

So as I’ve written on a previous post, my wife came here from the Philippines. And with her every visit here in China, she would bring for me some Filipino goodies – some I have purposely requested, others are random surprise. Here’s a few of what she have for me this time:

3 back issues of i-mag Photography Magazine from my sister-in-law, pilot issue of NOSEBLEED Magazine featuring Kwentong Barbero (as blogger of the month or something to that effect), and Jessica Zafra’s Twisted 5 (which I read if I have spare times at night) and 8 (that I read in the office at daytime). About the NOSEBLEED Magazine, I only read Badoodle’s part because I didn’t liked the mag’s layout, it’s worse than our high school paper.

Then this ANTIPATIKO t-shirt from negativiTEE, ang g-shirt ng mga gwapo
