Random thoughts...

It's already July and for some strange reason, floods of emotions came back to me. Hindi kaila sa Fierces that I have been through a rough personal crisis at the start of the year. I left my job in the newspaper last February, had an unstable emotional rollercoaster  ride jumping from a job in April that I realize was not for me until last June I was finally able to land a position as senior writer for Zen Health Magazine under Fame Publishing. Looking back at the first six months, I did not know how I was able to survive it all.

I am so grateful for the people who backed me up despite the vague situation. Some of the Fierces knew but understood why I rather keep quiet. After all, if you love something and treasured it like your own, it bounds to hurt when you leave it.

As with regards to the new chapter in my life, I am very please to write for the magazine. Its a new challenge since it's a new environment. But like any neophyte in the industry, I learn everyday and I am looking forward to learning more and embrace the industry which I believe is my calling.

Eto na! Fierce profile @fifi_abboudie

Siya na ang future stylist ng mga Fierces and apprentice ni @mattgozun. Also my guardian angel in styling questions. Thank you sis!!! -ALEXA

Full Name: Firas Solomon Abboud
Stylist na stylist just by looking at this photo collage ;)

Interests/hobbies: Of course everything fashion, reading, writing, cooking, eating, dancing, traveling etc. I love to learn and explore new things!

What made you follow Divine in Twitter? Well, I first saw Divine in the Lounge Section of Preview Magazine, I fell in love with her style instantly, I googled Divine Lee, and one of the results included her twitter account, I followed her on the spot.  

How surprised are you that the group is growing? As a matter of fact, I am not surprised at all. Well, maybe I am surprised on the fact that the group grew really fast! 

What do you think Divine has that people love and started following her? Divine is a huge ball of sunshine and positivity. And each time the ball shines, more and more people gets hit by the wonder Divine exudes, thus making them love and follow her! She is brave, down-to-earth, funny, caring, spontaneous and so much more good adjectives. How could you not love a person like Divine Lee? 

What is your dream for the fierce group? What do you think makes the Fierces different from other groups? Hmmm, now that the group is growing, my dream is that everyone will be open to one another so that the fierce bond will be so powerful and unbreakable. The fact that we laugh at almost everything, we really know how to have a good time don't we?

You are known as the budding stylist in the group so how would you style Divine in a photo shoot? What would be your dream setting for it?


Last month, I had the privilege of actually styling Divine Lee being the intern of Matt Gozun. But if  I were to conceptualize a shoot for Divine and style her for it, I have two concepts. One is a goddess shoot on the Columns in Greece to mark the goddess that she is, and two a bare shoot, just like a polaroid shot, maybe because we are used to seeing Divine all glammed up, it would be interesting to see her bare it all, the makeup, accessories, the sparkle and showcase Divine, just Divine.

@divinemlee and @victorbasa in #AxeAnarchy race

Hallo!

Pasensya na sa lack of posts dahil naging busy din. Anyway as everyone knows by now Divine and Victor participated in the Axe Anarchy Cops and Robbers game held at Eastwood last June 9. If you saw the photos from their respective blogs (www.divinemlee.com and victorbasa.net) alam nyo na nag-enjoy silang dalawa (check out na rin their respective tweets before and after the game so you know what I mean).

Madami naging highlights and syempre for a spectator like me, happy ako to see Marc Nelson rapel to make an entrance. Ramon Bautista also co-hosted the event and sobra talagang riot.  With all the running and screaming, I am just glad to be watching. Ang isa sa mga memorable moments was when we all discovered that Divine was in high heels! Kung hindi ako nagkakamali siya lang daw ang naka five inch shoes. Ikaw nga niya best dress daw siya kung hindi man siya manalo.

So after all the running and searching of the code in the guys bodies, Petra Mahalimuyak and her partner emerge as winners of P1 M each.  So kung dream nyo to be chase by the woman or the man of your dreams, type nyo etong event na ito. Who knows maulit uli ito next year.

Sorry hindi ako makakapost ng photos kasi I was in the third floor watching. :) Just check their blogs for it.

Also Divine hosted the Azzaro launch a few days before the Axe Anarchy. This was also the night the fierces surprised Victor with a birthday cake which Victor also wrote in his blog.

That's all for now. Abangan ang fierce profile soon.

Love,
Alexa

Season 3 of @beckynights was epic!!!

Okay as usual late ang posting ko because sa dami ng racket na ginagawa in life. As many may know by now, Season 3 of Becky Nights premiered last night live at Cafe Lupe in Antipolo. At dahil sa nakakainis na Ustream, hindi ko masyado na watch but I know that many of the Fierces were there. Nakakaloka lang na wala ako doon pero eto I am blogging it again buwahahaha.

Entitle Iskandalosa, Ethel Booba joined Jake, Matt, Buern, Divine and new host Raymund Isaac (who is one of today's top photographers and video directors to the stars) for this episode. Si Ethel is popular for her stint with Extra Challenge in GMA7  with Paolo Bediones. Anyway laughing trip ang episode because no hold barge talaga. For sure ang dami natawa sa mga live at online audience.

Isa sa mga latest additions nila na segment is called RAMPA where they went around Manila for interviews. Raymund talks with top model Joey Mead about her stint as runway coach for Asia's Top Model, Divine with who else but Victor Basa (na sobrang funny dahil hindi marunong si D mag-camera at kung nao pinagsasabi as always :)) ). Matt and Jake talks to Rajo Laurel about love and how he found Nix after going through one of his low points in life and Buern naman had fun with friends by staging a beauty pageant.  See, ang dami nangyari!

As per last night's viewers, around 3,000 watched it online and this is not yet counting those who downloaded the episode. Iba na talaga ang Becky Nights because from no sponsors, meron na thanks to Globe Tattoo, Zen Zest, White House Boracay and Cafe Lupe which will host the show every first Monday of the month. O diba keribelles na ang show!

The new cover of Becky Night season 3 :)

Photographer Raymund Isaac debuts with the quartet adding more dynamics :D
