WEARING THE PANTS

Perhaps skinny pants still have a long life left in fashion, but I have always admired the the wide legged pant look.  When styled right, it can add the perfect amount of glamor and interest to you outfit.  Wide legged pants may not be for everyone, which is probably why it has yet to become a dominant style to conquer on the streets.  Although it may not be a staple in your closet just yet, don't overlook this trend as an chic, elegant, and stylish addition that can be added to your wardrobe!  Check out some of the ways people have been working the wide legged pant:

Beauty II Golden Ratio

Have you heard of the golden ratio?

This is the proportion of the human geometric facial structure adding up to 1.61803399.

When you look at a person and find them attractive, then you are most probably right...they are, but why? Sure, personal preference plays a big factor as to what color the eyes should be or what height a person should be. But WHY you are attracted to that particular person (no matter what race) could be that their face is geometrically symmetric. It is said that it is in the symmetry of once face that "determines" how attractive you are.

There are a few who have scored near-perfect to perfect in terms of the ratio of the face. Famous celebrities Audrey Hepburn, Marilyn Monroe and Brad Pitt are a few of those have come out with a new-perfect 10 on their geometric facial structure.

Theatre II Paglilitis ni Mang Serapio

This is a re-run production by ROC ( Rock Opera Company), a theatre organization in the University of Asia and the Pacific.

And Paglilitis ni Mang Serapio ( " The Trial of Mang Serapio, 1968") was written by Paul Dumol. He is a Philippine playwright and educator and is presently the Chairman of the Philippine Center for Civic Education and Democracy. He is currently a professor and the University of Asia and the Pacific.

His play is considered by some as the first Filipino Modernist play. He is also the youngest Palanca awardee.

The story of revolves around the Federacion, a syndicate of beggars, thieves and the like, and their trial upon a Mang Serapio. The trial is held because he had broken rules that are considered grave to the Federacion, and so that the others would not follow his example, punishments are presented for his crime.

This is the 3rd time ROC is presenting Ang Paglilitis ni Mang Serapio.

The stage was set-up in an arena type, so as to simulate a trial session. It's a bit cramped and and dark, but that becomes hard to notice when the performance starts. I suggest instead of anticipating the play , it would be much better if one is to just watch and absorb everything. There is a lot going on so getting into it is a must so that you will be able to understand the story. At the end of it all, it makes you think about things. It's good that it makes you think.

Here are some shots taken from the performance.

Fashion II Techie Bling

I think that jewelry and accessories are taken to a whole new level in terms of ideas, materials and shapes, that anything is possible.

There were these adorable necklaces that i stumbled upon and they come in the shape of circuit boards! They're definitely statement pieces and can add some quirky elements to an outfit! The design rides on the futuristic trend with playful and whimsical elements to it.

These are created by Design Glut and are made out of stainless steel, so they're sturdy and definitely won't rust. The pendants hang from a 16 inch chain.

Retail Price: $60 / PHP 2 610

for each pendant(w/ chain)

I think that the price is reasonable considering the quality of the material they use and the innovative design. The pieces are unisex, and thus, cater to a much bigger target market.

All you techies out there, who said that being a geek doesn't have fashion plus points as well?
