"fashion was always synonymous to art for me.
One can easily express ones self by wearing outfits based on their emotions.
Mondays can be utterly depressing, Tuesdays are usually Nostalgic,
Wednesdays you tend to fall in love, and Fridays can be very random.
For me art is a form of release.
I reconstruct my negative raw emotions into something beautiful.
I played around with the idea of mix media art and combining it with fashion.
I used a variety of mediums to create lines, texture, and volume.
Most of my designs are unisex; Maybe its because i love the idea of breaking the general rule of gender .
i find the word “androgyny” very... sexy" - Anton Belardo, Stylist/Designer

Farewell tita Cory

Thanks for everything... You'll be missed...

Blog Hop

I started to blog hop again after a very long while. I never really know how much I miss blogging and blog hopping until I start visiting friends' blogs. Some still there and some are gone. Guess that's life. Oh well once a blogger, always a blogger so they say. Guess it's true for me.

Sick

I don't know what's really wrong with me but I haven't been feeling well since last thursday. My meds aren't working fast. Need to have second opinion from other docs.

Thursday: I felt really really tired and my head aches.
Friday: My hyper acidity strikes and my throat hurts so bad.
Saturday: Lost my voice.
Sunday: Cough a bit and sneeze a lot.
Monday: Head ache and sore throat.
Tuesday: Sore throat.

Nostalgia And Facebook

I didn't realize how much I miss one of the best chapter of me that is the "first year college" until old photos brings back the best memories of the past. Thanks to Facebook.

Go-See Invitation

I would like to invite male and female models (at least 18-year of age) to an informal go-see for future collaboration (e.g. may it be TFCD and/or exchange-deals). This is open to professional, amateur, and newbie models. I'll be eager to meet with you at Starbucks Mega Strip at Megamall, Ortigas on Saturday, February 7, 2009 from 11am onwards.

Please do bring a short bio telling me about yourself, contact info, your vital stats, experience or lack thereof, your range and capacity as a model, and why do want to model and collaborate with me. If you don’t have a set-card, it’s ok but I do encourage you to bring if you have one for me to have an idea of your skill as a model.

Also, please wear minimal or no make-up at all.

If you have inquiries just PM me here in my multiply or email me at henry_iia@yahoo.com or henryiia@gmail.com.

I am hoping to see you all and meet you. Looking forward to work and collaborate with you in the future.

God bless.

Regards,

Henry II
