Okay. I know it’s too late. But before you react, lemme explain first. Due to some unexpected time differences, like how January 23 is so last month ago (and I might as well add the fact that I feel so lazy blogging all the recent pictorials that I had), I decided to call this installation “The Red Jumpsuit Apparatus” instead. Lol.

WHAT I’M WEARING: Water Dragon Red Suit, Slim Fit Black Jeans (Penshoppe), Black Rosary, my usual red wristwatch and Combat Boots. Hype this on lookbook here.

Withholding the presence of the The John Lennon Tribute, I can pretty much say that this is the first “official” collaboration of Ate Konz and me. We went to the mall’s parking lot and I was really distracted by the stares of the people passing. Talk about being a freelance model!

It took me awhile to edit this picture above. I had to erase lots and lots of unnecessary details in the background. My photoshop skills a bit highly improved too. Here’s my brag rights, genuinely active! Haha.

With our dreams as our constant inspiration, and equipped with our passion and skills, nothing’s gonna stop us from doing what we want and reaching our dreams. How’s that?

Ladies and gentlemen, witness the first collaboration of Kokone and yours truly. Just as I had promised a few months ago (the one where I said “if I can keep it artistically”), here’s another entry at my attempt in following Leonardo’s footsteps. (Too ambitious? I know. Can’t help it, I dream big!)

This was really a funny and memorable installation bcoz’ we really thought that t’was “John Denver” on the shirt. A somebody on lookbook corrected me that it was John Lennon. Embarrassingggggg.

And here’s the coloring materials that we used, my set of Pentel Oil pastels. I really love pastels. Kind of messy, but they are so easy to use. Ate Konz drew the next two pictures. I colored the other one. Now whose work is better?

Here’s mine. She tried to throw this one. I asked her not to, and colored it myself. To be honest, I sure did revived it. The drawing’s cool, y’know. HAHA!

After the drawing session, we had a quick photo-shoot (Refer above). I had to imitate the actions of the two characters that she drew. T’was really wicked. I enjoyed every bit of it.

And here’s her version of me. A little “Jimmy Neutron” interpretation, if I may say. I look cool with the nerdy glasses. And yeah, now’s the time to call everything a wrap! (Will be posting a lot of Kokone-Jomie collabs in the future, mostly about looks that I will post on LOOKBOOK.nu)

Dear Diary. So I literally experienced poverty yesterday. I had P39.00 left in my pocket … good thing Juna extended her helping hand, and let me borrow twenty pesos for my Cornetto cravings.

Being in my room alone was really cheerless. Mom sent me my weekly allowance today, well, I couldn’t be happier. And since most of our bhauz buddies went to Naawan, we (with Juna and Mercy) decided to walk off to the movie house. The plan was just to have a food trip at first. But crazy ideas come when crazy people get together, right?

Torn between Enteng ng Ina Mo and Manila Kingpin, we ended up choosing comedy over action. The movie was really entertaining. Great actors and funny storyline. Ai-ai de las Alas is a natural comedienne. I guess our laughter specifically filled up the overly crowded Cinema 4.

(Mercy was trying to kiss me. I said no, since, I greatly value decency. HAHA!) We closed our short strolling around by heading to the “ukay-ukay” spot, as always. And the mouse-hunting sessions … sweet! — A movie critic, J.

Dear Diary. Due to our Management professor’s tardiness, we practically had the chance to visit a salon. Jen and I accompanied Rozlene at Allure. The place was really wonderful. And super silent … that I almost slept in their couch. (Lomo effect on photo below)

Jen was sharing her date experiences but she refused to call it “dates”. She termed it “G.T.K.Y.M.”. I was really clueless what G.T.K.Y.M. stands for … she said it means “Getting To Know You More”. Okay, so candidly, I am at liberty now to call her a love expert. Whatever! — A certified motor-mouth, J.

Dear Diary. So we presented our Prezi business proposal on BUS IT 5 today. My business is called The J Force Productions (a dance company, so to speak). As usual, I was confident. (I always am. I’m a junkie when it comes to public speaking.) Somehow, I dream of becoming a newscaster someday. So much for versatility! — Your future newscaster, J.

Dear Diary. Johanna and I went to the post office today to grab an authenticated copy of her Lola’s birth certificate. The place was not that crowded as I imagined it to be. Or maybe I’m a little lucky when it comes to timing. It took us hours though, so you can imagine a long session of photo-taking happening while we’re waiting. (Not to mention the crazy sight-seeing and outrageous mouse-hunting). — Your Vanity King, J.
