KAOS @Resorts World Experience

Kaos show at the Resorts World was fun and exciting experience for this Holiday.

Everybody will definitely be amazed with Musical and Magical ala Las Vegas theme of the show. The tricks and the acrobats were definitely well executed by the artists.

I commend the PhilHarmonic Orchestra for the job-well-done musical arrangements and performances which created the mood and made the whole thing more exciting.

I also loved the lightnings that has been used in the production as it complements the simple yet innovative set that was at the show.

What also made my experience more exciting was seeing the Filipinos' pride- the Philippine All Star- which has performed in the middle of the show!

It was an awesome show! It is worth watching!

McDonalds' Green Frizz and Twister Fries

I'm a total fan of McDonald's- and who doesn't? It reminds me of my more younger days of not even thinking how much you are eating, plus to mention the calories that it contains. It is what do I called the "comfort zone". And yes when I say "comfort", those cravings will definitely be satisfied.

Today, what makes me crazy as I enter my McDonalds are the twister fries and green frizz.



Twister Fries has been a long time no served product of McDonald's and now that it is back , aficionados of it might probably digging in to their fries right now. But yes! It is one of the best fries in town.

The fries itself has this tasty coating which gives a feeling of a crispiness outside and the right saltiness of it makes you want for more.

Twister fries will only be available in limited time, so better grab some now!


This green frizz is really something new to anyone's taste buds. The green apple flavor, the acidic kick of the Sprite and the sweetness of the vanilla ice cream complement each other. This refreshment will definitely give you a different experience that will cost 29php.

Soon to rise: RETASSO Collection on Fashion

Retasso Collection on Fashion was a product of a brilliant mind of a man named Ronnie Cabreros. He started putting up fashion shows and events years ago. Since he was exposed into different productions and events, he had the idea of managing talents; models and dancers with the aim of showcasing skills in modeling, dancing and even hosting.
With the help of his assistant, Ms. Jen, they worked hand-in-hand in scouting talents from Antipolo (where he resides) and in Quezon City where Ms. Jen is located.
What is RETASSO Collection on Fashion about? Based from the video clipping, the host had described retasso as "piraso ng pinagtagpi-tagping tela na kinolekta upang makabuo ng isang maganda at presentableng retasso attire."
It is very fascinating to see creative outputs like this. And models were trained not just to do ramp, but Retasso models are also skilled with talents of dancing, singing and hosting. They were also the ones who designs and put personal touches on their creative retasso outfits. That flourishes their creativeness and sense of style.
Retasso had shows in Ever Gotesco Malls- Ortigas and Commonwealth branches, Riverbanks Mall in Marikina, and many other places.
Watch out as Retasso group makes their way into the world of Fashon shows and events. As their tag line says: "Retasso Collection on Fashion- The newest Fashion show in the City"

Simple yet Sophisticated

Seldom have I encountered women who are wearing simple dresses and yet they look so elegant. Even on their casual wears and just walking by the streets on ordinary days. An ordinary day doesn’t mean “ordinary” fashion especially to us women who are very meticulous about how we look. In school, especially for us girls, who are studying at schools which do not require uniforms, are having a hard time to search for dresses everyday just to not look the same each and every day, women who are fashion conscious specially. I have a classmate whom I always notice that even if she just wear a simple printed shirt and just a pair of jeans, with a cute flats (a ballet shoes alike), accessorized by earrings, and bracelet and just a simple make-up she does look sophisticated. She is Marianne Enriquez. She is not the type that wears a lot but can look so stylish.


I asked Marianne about what she does in mixing and matching clothes, how to put accessories together so that it won’t look like a disaster. And also about make ups that she puts on her face so that you won’t look like a clown. She just said that “less is more.” The more you put a lot the more you will look like a fashion victim. It is very important that you wear clothes, accessories and make-ups that you are comfortable with. Being “fashionable” doesn’t mean that what is “uso” we’ll wear or we’ll follow. Also, it is very important to be confident about yourself of what you are wearing even if those clothes are just from the “ukay-ukay” or “tiangge.”, it doesn’t matter as long as you can carry yourself whenever, wherever.

Mabuhay Piña!

Pineapple fiber or Piña is a strong white or creamy cobweb-like fiber drawn from tall leaves of an indigenous pineapple plant. The fiber is hand stripped from the leaves in lengths of about 18 inches to 3 feet, sun-bleached, hand knotted and spun. As piña fiber recovery is only about 1%, it can take six months to gather enough fiber to produce two pounds of spun piña.

This video is a news clip from Asia Brief, a news channel in China. It features the genuine piña cloth from the Philippines. Pineapple fabric was discovered in the early 18th century. This fabric is use to make shirts being worn by rich businessmen and politicians during that time. This fabric is made from the leaf of a wild pineapple which can be found only in the western part of the Visayan Island, Philippines. Fibers are meticulously extracted from the leaf and made into threads. These sensitive threads are then patiently hand woven into a fine cloth by middle aged women using handmade bamboo equipment. The fabric’s width is 26 to 28 inches. A yard of Pineapple cloth can be done in a week time, working ten hours a day.

Blissfully Unique: Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdes

Who would really think that this life-sized doll, given the image of fashionista and life of the party was a nerd when she was growing up?

In an interview conducted by Herword.com (a site for professional Filipina) Tessa admitted that she was a nerd when she was growing up and it was her brother Louie's death that had caused her to retake priorities.
Her brother’s death from a motorcycle accident has made her shed off any inhibitions, Tessa now takes on the world and lives by her rules without stepping on anyone’s toes.

With this philosophy guiding her, she finds her bliss in becoming the person that she really is. Happy and content with her life, age seems to be nothing but trivial for her.

According to her, turning forty is more even wonderful than turning twenty beacuse you don't have to do more goals. She quoted: "I think twenty would be fun, and forty would be fulfilled."

She described her fashion statement as a mix bag of excitement and confusion. Others might actually think that she is into alcohol and drugs but hey, the truth is she is into yoga and she doesn't do things like that. In fact, she is really a religious one. She even go to Baclaran as her devotion.

Tessa Prieto even shared that she cannot live without her padded bra and thong panties. Padded bra super enhance every thing she wears and she hates visible panty lines. And so, she became really thankful thongs were invented. She decides first on accessories before moving on to what particular dress that goes along with them. One good way of preparing what to wear for an occasion.

Tessa didn't like the idea of depending your fashion style on others. She goes for people who have "reinvented themselves" just like how Madonna and Demi Moore restated their selves.


Another fascinating thing that we can get from this interior designer and columnist of The Philippine Daily Inquirer (PDI) is that she has a big confidence on Filipino fashion designers. She really supports local designers because she believes to their skills and they know their crafts.

Designers are too pleased to dress-up this life sized doll because they can unleash their creative outputs as long as it doesn't require too much boob exposure or anything like that. Despite Tessa's playful taste on fashion, she still refrains from too much exposed flesh and skin.

Among her favorite Designers are Inno Sotto, and Joe Salazar who create her formal outfits for major events. Rajo Laurel and Patrice Diaz do the funkyy and adventurous getup.As a supporter for local fashion, she also tries out the works of up-and-coming designers with the likes of Kate Torralba, Dennis Lustico and Mitch Dulce.

Tessa likes Mitch Dulce's avant-garde style. She thinks that if there is one word that best describes her, it going to be "avant-garde."

For budding fashionistas who look up to Tessa’s spunk and individuality, she points out the importance of being comfortable in your chosen style.

If you think you can wear it, go ahead! Be confident. And most of all, have fun.
-Tessa Prieto Valdes.
