SOLO Larry Alcala Collection & Model Search

10 Replies

Just like any other ordinary young kid, I am fond of reading comic strips whether that is found in a newspaper, magazine and specialized comics compilation books. It served as my dose of entertainment especially when we visit some of our relatives in the province. There was even a time wherein my father read the main parts of the broadsheet while I automatically get the entertainment part just to read the comic strips 😛

Wear Larry Alcala inspired clothes and win in Solo’s Online Model Search contest

Even in school, some of my classmates even cut these comic strips and paste it in a used notebook and it served as a part of our collection (those days!). We couldn’t afford to buy our very own Archie, Jughead or Betty & Veronica comic digests so we ended up making one through the old newspaper clipping. We also supported Filipino comic strips and one of the most distinctive one are the works of Larry Alcala.

Good news to Larry Alcala Fans! SOLO, one of the most promising fashion brands in the country today recently launched the Pinoy Cartoonist Memorabilia collection featuring the works of great Larry Alcala and its Online Model Search Contest, which was officially last August 22.

The SEAIR and Microtel Boracay Dream Vacation

12 Replies

Two years ago, I won in a writing contest spearheaded by SEAIR. I won tickets supposedly for Palawan, but then the last minute, we were given tickets for a Boracay trip. I didn’t complain because it will be my grandparents’ first time to visit Boracay and it is also my friend Maire’s dream to go there.

Going back to Boracay... Hopefully, this year!

My first SEAIR experience is a memorable one. It was my first time to ride again in a plane after 15 years and seeing my grandparents happy before we reached Caticlan airport is priceless. The whole trip was fast too! I remember Maire taking lots of pictures because it is her first airplane experience.

CONTEST ALERT! What is your TOUGHEST job?

4 Replies

I am currently working as an editorial staff of an entertainment magbloid (magazine-tabloid). It is my task to proofread submitted articles, write photostories and tag the photos submitted to us by our photographers. It is a tough job because you need to re-read some of the articles and check if there are misspelled words, inconsistencies among others. As someone who works in the entertainment industry navigating a challenging work atmosphere can be hard since toxicity is rampant in the workplace.

Making people happy through showbiz chikkas can be a very tough job, you know? :P

At night, I also do work on my blogs in order to earn extra money for my daily and traveling expenses. I maintain a lot of blogs and keeping them updated at least three times a week is quite a tough job. I also do accept some freelance work (though most of the time, i received ‘thank you’ as a payment LOL)

I’m sure that almost all of you are employed and is currently handling a lot of tasks in the workplace. Would you mind to share what is your toughest job?

Last May 9, 2010, the whole world celebrated Mother’s Day. It is the time of the year wherein we give extra attention to our mom by treating them as a queen even just for a day. How I wish my mom is with me so I can pamper her with all my heart. I’d love to shop, dine and hangout with her!

2 Replies

Do you love watching movies? Well, I’d be more than willing to hear your recommendations as the theme for Week 4 of my Share Your DiscOVIries has something to do with films. I am scouting for the ‘must-watch movies of 2010’.

Here’s a sample entry:

Clash of the Titans at Krispy Kreme

Hello Perseus! Why don't you take a break and drink iced mocha?

I am looking forward to the Philippine release of the movie ‘Clash of the Titans’. The movie is a mythological fantasy clash with Sam Worthington playing the role Perseus. Just saw the trailer awhile ago and I would love to see this film in a 3D mode. I bet it will scare me in some parts! Aside from the fact that this looks like a well-made film, the endorsement of my favorite donut shop is a plus factor 😛

Any movie will do – whether that is comedy, drama, romance, action, sci-fi, indie -anything! Whether that originated in Hollywood, Bollywood or even mainstream and indie films from the Philippines as long as the movie is intended for release this year (2010).

Yeah, i named the gadget Judd LOL.
