ARIES LAGAT WINS PROJECT RUNWAY PHILIPPINES!!!
Who's IN?
I daresay the final 3 really did great on the surprise challenge: I'll definitely buy Philipp's cardigan, then Veejay's pants - but I'll buy Aries' whole ensemble! The tailored suit with matching glittery hood was phenomenal! I MUST HAVE SOMETHING LIKE THAT! LOL!
Philipp's collection showcased the richness of Philippines' culture and the boldness of a woman's body. However, I agree with the judges that some of the pieces were almost over-the-top. While Veejay's take on the classy, clean and wearable silhouette was successful, the lack of story behind the collection and, yes, wrong choice of fabrics, made the whole set a bit flat. But there's no denying that all the pieces were constructed elegantly. Aries' collection was really "wow"! The drama, the story, and of course the construction all fit together - and formed a fantastic ensemble! I agree with the last piece, the yellow gown, being off among the strong ones; but the main flavor was indeed showcased when that vintage-looking dress transformed into three unique, unbelievable garments! Aries deserves the title, period. I hope his collection's already displayed in SM Makati by tomorrow. Can't wait!
All in all, Project Runway Philippines was successful to produce the next generation of Philippine fashion designers - which are indeed bright!

PROJECT RUNWAY PHILIPPINES FINALE: UBER EXCITEMENT!!!
So ETC finally showed the part 1 of Project Runway Philippines' finale this night, and I must admit that I am indeed awed by this show! So freakin' awesome! This local franchise is no doubt the best so far.
Actually, a few days back, I have already seen the final 3's collection (thanks to one of my Multiply contacts for sharing his love for photography; and the numerous blogsites about the show). Upon seeing it, I already rooted for Veejay's. But since the twist earlier was to do a 13th garment, menswear, the top 3's wish during the reunion episode was granted. The 3 had the chance to work with one designer from their batch; Philipp with Lord, Veejay with Jaz, and Aries with Mara. Yes - MARA! Now I'm also excited to see Aries' collection!
Oh well, can't wait for next week's final runway show and results! And please..
LOL!

To Mara Reyes of Project Runway Philippines
Dear Mara,How are you?
I just wrote to simply extend my deepest and sincerest congratulations for making it in the top 4 of Project Runway Philippines.
Since day one, I have been a big fan of yours - from that pink geometric-inspired poncho up to the punk terno - seeing your work has always been a breath of fresh air. You have interesting vision and your eye for creativity always spell genuineness. Indeed, I am inspired by you.
Though you have not-so-good technical skills as what the judges and other contestants pointed out, I still agree with Lord Maturan (and I would love to borrow his words again here); Project Runway Philippines is for the next big Filipino fashion designer, not sewer. With this regard, I bravely say that I liked your punk terno rather than Aries' same-old-silhouette-and-seamless terno - what more if you actually finished it, di ba? But that's it, that's the game. Nothing changes, I'm still a proud fan.
Project Runway Philippines wouldn't be complete without your touch - you kicked ass! And as what you've said on your last interview during the last challenge's episode: Party, party, party!
I wish you good luck on your chosen career, and I hope to see you soon and wear a creation of yours one day! God bless you.
Your big/gest fan,
Varian

Bear with me, this is the only way I know on how to tell her that I am indeed a big fan. To whomever reading this and personally know her, I would appreciate it if you relay my letter to Mara - very, very much. Thanks for reading!

2:17PM - Enjoy your graduation! Am so proud and happy for you! - Me
Early this afternoon as I was flaunting on the streets of Makati, I can't help but smile. Literally, I was beaming an ala-toothpaste commercial grin, everyone I passed by actually can't help but notice it and smile at me too. The happiest feeling was I know that my mouth is not the only body part who's smiling, also my heart. If it's really appropriate to say, then my heart was also teary-eyed.
October 6 marks the graduation of my bestfriend. Why October 6? He's an irregular nursing student at Fatima University - Fairview. After years of book-eating and notebook-munching, finally, he has reached his finish line as well.
I'm sad because we rarely see each other - and thanks to Sun, we also rarely talk to each other. But what saddened me most was the fact that I couldn't be there to witness his triumph. The ceremony was held at PICC, two tickets per student. That's why today, as I dressed up to find work, I decided to wear my graduation outfit last March - for at least by wearing them, I could somehow feel that I am where he was earlier, watching him smile, laughing with him. Yes, that's the least I could do.
So what's the sense of this now? Well, I'm just glad to say that I am very thankful that my bestfriend has now graduated. I won't tell here his hardships for that is our precious secret, but I will tell this here: I'm so proud of you! You deserve nothing but the best! I love you bestfriend! Enjoy your very own finish line!
4:11PM - Kakatapos ko lang umakyat ng stage. Hehe. Sarap ng feeling! - Bestfriend
Excess:
While in Glorietta, I passed by the 2nd floor Cinderella and saw the winning garments of Aries Lagat, Veejay Floresca and Jaz Cerezo of Project Runway Philippines. Then at Folded n' Hung, I bumped into John of Jarakay Tribe from Survivor Philippines. Cool.
