Another fashion search begins

   "I think one of the most inspiring stories of genius children growing up to be successful adults is that of this girl from my country, the Philippines.

She’s Shaira Luna, circa 1995. That photo was a taken from her widely popular genius kids or “gifted children” advertisement. Basically, it was for a milk product that the brand claims to be vital in helping smart kids reach their true potential.

Shaira’s famous line from the advertisement was, “The cardiovascular system is the system that circulates blood around the body and transports nutrients and oxygen to the tissues .” She was only eight yrs. old back then, but she knew topics from 4th or 5th grade Science.

At 13 years old, she graduated from high school and got admitted to one of the top universities in the country. Taking up BS Human Biology, she was expected to become the youngest doctor in the Philippines.

But she became depressed when the unexpected happened to her — she failed a subject. Studying Science was supposed to be easy for her because of her high IQ, but no matter how hard she tried, she just seemed to fail. She shifted to various courses and after six years in college, she decided to drop out.

After dropping out, she struggled on finding her passion in life. As a kid, aside from being a Science whiz, she also excelled in singing, playing the guitar and sports. Basically, whatever she was taught to do, she excelled at it.

Shaira also happened to love watching bands and would go to her favourites’ gigs as a way of escaping the stress of school. This was where she found her true passion. She would take photos of the band. And eventually, she enjoyed photography and used it as her source of income.

But still, the road was not easy for her. Since she was just a budding photographer, there were limited projects for her. She would take photos of children’s birthday parties, small-time basketball leagues and christenings, among others. If you’re a photographer in the Philippines, the money you make out of these types of projects would not be enough to sustain your basic needs.

Even then, she continued taking photos of bands and also portraits. The bands would then post her photos in online forums and give credits to her. Eventually, people in the fashion industry started to notice her works and hired her for spreads.

So after ten years in limbo, she finally found her true passion and made a name for herself. Now, if anyone would make a list of the top fashion photographers in the Philippines, Shaira Luna will surely be included in it.

Here are some of her works.

So, the moral of Shaira’s story is… You don’t have to have it all figured out right away. Even kids with skyrocketing IQ can get lost. Find your true passion and pursue it with all your heart. Eventually, everything will fall into place.

By the way, here are the ads she was featured in, as a “gifted child.”

This was from 1995:

Bra Brands

   "Inside the house no women wear them.

My sister, your sister, my gf, your gf, your wife, your female friends, my female friends, no one use them inside the house. Comfort always comes first.

So the question is, how about outside?

Question: no bra, no problem?

Answer: yes.

Wait, for everybody?

Well, lets divide our world in three groups:

• celebrities of all ages
• 20 something non-celebrities
• older non-celebrities

Lets see what celebrities think about it:

See? They couldn’t careless.

They do it because they can, and they need to be in the news constantly since image and being talked about is everything for them.

How about non-celebrities?

See, they do it because they feel great doing it.

Fashion is a statement.

They are saying loud and clear how greatthey feel doing it.

Don’t like it?

It is your problem.

As I said, I don’t like to see pink cars, so what?

But wait.

How about these outfits? Aren’t they gorgeous?

See, they don’t need a bra.

So, in summary, no bra, no problem, capisce?"

What women carry around all the time

Are women hard to figure out?

   " The poet John Lychgate once said "You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can't please all of the people all of the time." And you only need to look at these illustrations to realize how true that is.

They're drawn by artist and fashion designer Daisy Bernard, and they represent the fact that women are judged regardless of the expectations they try to live up to. Dress conservatively and you're frigid, but wear something revealing and you're obviously a slut. Likewise, women are often encouraged to be more assertive in the office, but when they are they're considered bossy. "Women are being told to take off their bikinis and undress on the beach," wrote Bernard in an article for The Tab. "But at the same time we should keep ourselves covered up, and shouldn’t show too much skin. These ridiculous expectations are created usually by men, and in many cases by other women too."

Fashion Street: is it beauty or what?

Fashion Street: It it beauty or what?

Is it beauty or what?

   "Good on you for making a question that can pull out so many answers, and such a gigantic list and photos of so many beautiful women.

For my answer, I’ll say that the most beautiful woman is Jessica Alba.

She looks like a perfect construction of a woman, as she’s been an actress, model, and a powerful business woman.

Her tone comes off as sweet and kind, while still dashingly attractive. She’s the kind of woman that you can’t take your eyes off of.

The difficulties she had through her childhood were mainly towards how incredibly attractive she was. Here’s some words from her about when she was just an early teenager;

"Older men would hit on me, and my youth pastor said it was because I was wearing provocative clothing, when I wasn't. It just made me feel like if I was in any way desirable to the opposite sex that it was my fault, and it made me ashamed of my body and being a woman".

This is why I would say that Jessica Alba is the most beautiful woman who has ever lived."

A look back at watches

   "All of it came from my family’s real estate management company, of which i own 30%.

My brother owns another 30% and my father, 40%. I’m worth more than most people i know, especially my age, but I know quite a few wealthy people where I live. Two close friends of mine come from billionaire families (one’s father sold his real estate company for R$ 800 mm about 10 years ago, the other’s family owns a relatively important investment bank in Brasil).

Most of my net worth is in high-end real estate in Rio de Janeiro, a chunck of it in bonds that generate me more than 15% per year in returns, thanks to the huge interest rates down here.

My father’s net worth is much bigger though, as he earns money for a long time now (he estimates it at a little over R$ 100 mm, or about 31 mm USD, as of today.

We don’t live a lavish lifestyle for american standards - no fancy cars, no boat, but we do live in a house one could call a mansion. We also travell quite a lot and mostly first/business class, sometimes for extended periods of time. I spent 2 months in Southeast Asia at the beginning of the year, went first class in Etihad Airways, was quite a nice experience.

I’m starting a watch collection though:

The apple watch is the only one I regret buying :)

The best thing about having a high networth at such an age is the freedom it gives me. Some of my friends have to work for bosses and worry about their future and it’s great not to be in that “race”. I work quite a lot, but with my father, and we treat each other like business partners, and i often call some important shots."
