In the past, Summer dressing was all about subtle pastels and neutrals. But in the past year, we have seen a shift in the fashion scene that brought to life a bolder and more daring look for the sunny seasons.
Overseas, the hottest trend of the Spring/Summer season is color blocking, and although the look is far from new, the trend is back! PENSHOPPE is set to take the trend to all new heights as they launch their Summer 2012 Collection. They launched their latest collection called INVASION at this year’s highly anticipated Philippine Fashion Week; guests in attendance were treated to a visually stunning runway that showcased PENSHOPPE’s four new looks for the season. Kick starting the show was their current Holiday 2011 collection, which is a combination of outdoor comfort and rock star glamour (now modeled in billboards everywhere by Gossip Girl’s Ed Westwick). The second part featured PENSHOPPE’s Pre-Summer 2012. PENSHOPPE creates their denim statement for the season with strong acid washes. With denim line that has a huge following it really is no surprise that the acid wash jeans is the collection’s pièce de résistance. Finally, for their curtain call, the show closed by the introduction of their second international endorser after Ed Westwick, Thai superstar MARIO MAURER.
International football star David Beckham, Landon Donovan, and Coach Bruce Arena represented the Los Angeles Galaxy at the press conference held at the Makati Shangri-La yesterday that kicked off the three-day visit the right way. Also present were players from the Azkals, who also welcomed the reigning MLS Cup champions with much excitement.
Next, the Beckham-led team will hold a football clinic for children at the Rizal Memorial Stadium on Friday, before finally getting to play against Philippines’ very own team Azkals, on Saturday, 7:30 p.m.
The Azkals vs. LA Galaxy friendly match will be held at the Rizal Memorial Stadium and will air LIVE on Dec 3, 6:30 pm (kick-off 7pm) on Studio 23. To avail of discounted tickets, go to any TicketWorld outlet and mention the Promo Code 6987.
With the ongoing Hollywood trend that had us movie-goers see the release of at least eight comic-book movies in 2011 alone, comes the growing debate on whether taking these narrative artworks to the next level does more harm than good to our favorite fictional, crime-fighting saviors of humanity.

One of the great joys of the movies is its ability to bring our fantasies to life. Whether it’s time travel, alien worlds, alternate realities, or superhuman feats, film allows us to transcend our physical limitations; to make the fantastic real.
Superhero films are but the latest popular manifestation of this desire to materialize our fondest imaginings. Any youngster who has ever been entranced by a comic book or serial would surely jump at the chance to see their heroes fully embodied on screen. The child in all of us has always wanted to be super strong; to be super fast; to fly.
And the genre is flying indeed. In the past decade, there has been an average of around 4 superhero films a year, raking in just over $1Billion per annum (2011 has already crossed that number). Some of the most profitable film franchises have come out in this period, along with some of the most ambitious and memorable takes on the most recognizable of costumed crime fighters. Read more…
Favorite character in Greek mythology?
I would go for Heracles—Hercules to the Romans. Because of his courage, strength, and skill, Heracles was able to accomplish numerous great tasks, which can be compared with the problems we face today. He should be a role model for all of us: the manner he hurdled all the challenges that came his way.
There are a number of other favorite heroes and heroines who walked through Homer’s Iliad and Odyssey during the Bronze or the Mycenaean Age. Also, another important Greek poet who created influential heroes and heroines would be Hesiod who lived during the 8th century BC, and who, back then, already espoused that as human beings acquire more technology, their values will deteriorate.
