1-12-12: Abstraq

What happens when seventeen fashion designers work together? ahhh! I say, one BIG surprise is about to explode! 1-12-12 was the night Blanc Magazine Online was launched through Abstraq fashion show.

‘BLANC is an online fashion and art magazine dedicated to the underground youth, the vague and the implicit. Put up together by Cebu’s most artistic and experimental young minds, BLANC is the unconventional probe of the Queen City’s distinct chronicles on the latest in fashion, androgyny, art culture and streetstyle. It is the uncovering of Cebu’s rusty side.’

Page 5 of 366: The Specimens!

Well hello there!! Yes, finally, I am back after a week of being MIA :) and you know whyyyy.. Its been a couple of busy days having just finished the Sinulog Festival celebration! And I hope to chip in a couple of posts tonight before I prepare for my midterm exams this weekend. (Oh God, now I realized I have to read five or more chapters/topics every night!)

First stop, a Pre-Sinulog dinner with my dear Specimens Lady and Ron (minus two: Wenah and Karlou). Wonder why we call ourselves specimens? errr, because once upon a time we share the same thoughts and ‘likes’ and lived together in Cebu! (that’s in our own perspective/ of course :)

Btw, here’s our dinner at Bistro Ecila..

One thing I love ’bout this place: the interiors!

Book-lovers as we are, we went straight to Fully booked right after dinner And imagine how thrilled and happy we were to found out they were having a book-sale! Books for only fifty to a hundred pesos?!? Who could resist such bargain? :) After digging on the pile of books, we bought these.. Yes, i’m such a weakling when it comes to books.

We were like kids opening our gits!haha

A good cup of coffee plus a good book equals one great night! 

And oh yes, got my planner that night too! :)

And That’s one! Expect more posts (and by this, heavy photo posts) tonight and tomorrow! :D
