Women achievers

We have 2 of those in the family this Sunday.

First, Ate Bullet just finished her first half marathon!

She finished 1st in her age category. Woot!

Second, Toni just wrapped up another successful bazaar!

I'm always amazed at the number of loyal customers she has. Loyal customers that are willing to line up just to buy her cakes. Woot! Woot!

It's such a joy to see the achievements of these successful women!

Avengers, Assembly!

Today was the general assembly of the Comm Soc in school. 

It's always attending events like these since you see your students in a more relaxed state.

Their theme was "Avengers Assemble" and encouraged everyone to come as a hero. Of course, Iya and I didn't have costumes, but I had a ready answer if they asked me who's the hero I dressed up as.

That answer would have been: "Myself. Because I"m my own hero."

Too bad they didn't ask me the question, though.

FMM: Loss of breathing

Among D' Frendz, we all have our "signature songs" whenever we go to videoke joints.

Mine is this 1996 Grammy Award winning song from Duncan Sheik.

"Barely Breathing" is such a beautifully written and sung song. It's lyrics are emotional, but balanced with the fast-paced melody. This contrapunto is what makes me like this song so much. Not just to sing, but also to listen to.

So, it's sad to hear that the singer has joined the big concert hall in the sky. Another musical talent who's gone too soon.

Gown town

True to his red carpet aesthetic, a big chunk of the Elie Saab x H&M collection will be gowns!

Looking back their past collabs, it looks like it's the first time they'll really feature this many gowns in one collection. While their Roberto Cavalli and Erdem collections had long dresses, Elie Saab has full-on, red carpet worthy gowns!

I'm sure these will be the first ones sold out when the collection drops this month.
