"When life gives you lemons, make grape juice and sit back and watch the world ask how you did it." -Tori Traux

Most of the time life hands a bunch of lemons and sometimes we tend to leave the lemons behind. but what we did not know is that the more we say "No" to those lemons the more we receive.
Running away from problems will not make our lives sweeter... we're just making it worse. What we need to do is to take those lemons and eat it!!! "don't waste food!!!." Let's face the fact that no matter what we do, life will not easily take back the lemons they gave us. So instead of avoiding those lemons, turn them into something sweet! Face it! solve the problem! and you will be amazed of how good and strong you can be by solving those puzzles yourself. It may also bring out the best in you. And the whole world will be surprized of how well you managed to overcome your problems. And so the next time life throws lemons in your face, Slice them!!! and swallow them together with your favorite tequila and start dancing! :)

INVICTUS: New Fragrance by Paco Rabanne

So Yesterday I attended PUIG's New Product Launches 2013 at Nuance Watson SG Training Office in Changi Airport, Singapore.
and I am so excited to share to you guys the latest men's fragrance from Paco Rabanne called "INVICTUS" meaning "Unconquerable". This unique fragrance for men also comes with a very unique bottle in a form of a "trophy".

Paco Rabanne is Famous for his Avant Garde taste for fashion using unconventional materials like Metal, Plastic and Paper for his Flamboyant designs.
 In year 1968 Paco Rabanne Collaborated with PUIG company and began to create and market his own Fragrance Line.
The concept for Paco Rabanne's Fragrances statred with a DREAM.
The first dream was to become a ROCK STAR and so Black XS was created. The second dream was to become RICH. 1 Millon by Paco Rabanne was launched and became a worldwide hit!
And today, the dream of every man is VICTORY and to become a true CHAMP! And so that was the idea and concept of INVICTUS, to become a CHAMP. to be UNBEATABLE, UNCONQUERABLE and to be DESIRED by every woman.

Invictus is a very Fresh, Energetic and Sensual Fragrance that gives a very nice scent of a true champion.
The Freshness of Invictus came from the scents of Grapefruit peel, marine Accord and Bay Leaves. and it's Sensuality came from the scents of Guaiac wood, Patchouli and Amber Gris.

Believe it or not, this fragrance can be a real landslide hit to perfume markets worldwide!!! I have tested the fragrance myself at the training yesterday, and I really liked the smell! and I am so much excited for it's first launching in ASIA this coming September 2013. and i will definitely be the first one to queue and grab this INVICTUS fragrance for myself. :)

This shot supposedly my next outfit post after "cross", but since I don't have any soft copy of the pictures with me, it took me almost a month to make this post.

"Twilight" was not the original concept but since I noticed that my face turned out to be extremely pale that I almost kinda look like Edward Cullen, then I decided to go for

VAMPIRE WEEKEND

Vampire Weekend is actually one of my favorite bands that plays good Indie-Pop-Rock Music that I'm really into right now.

their album "Contra" released back in 2010 && their latest Album "Modern Vampires of the City" released last May of this year, has been on my playlist for months now, and has been one of my "Feel-good-music" ever!

GIVENCHY MEN'S PRE-FALL COLLECTION 2013

from Rottweilers (Givenchy Autumn/Winter Collection 2011),

to Dobermans for this year's Fall Collection.

these Canines will be printed in most shirts and jackets in a very abstract designs and patterns.

I am always impressed with how Riccardo Tisci make use of Iconic Photographs and Arts

and reproduced it for shirts and jackets and make it a statement.

From Sharks, to Bird's of Paradise, to Rottweilers, to Religious Iconography which makes a very good statement last season.

Now he's making use of Iconic Photos of Male Nudes from the late American Photographer Robert Mapplethorpe as an accent to this year's Fall/Winter Collection for Givenchy.

This year's Fall, Ricardo Tisci decided to bring back the checked shirts, in which i believe is a good come-back. 

I love that the checked patterns are so sophisticated, clean and polished.

Cross

Inverted Cross Tank Top by: Far East

Red Plastic Pants by: Forever 21

Printed Sneakers by: Forever 21

This is my very first shoot from a very good friend-photographer named Van Eisha that i met here in Singapore.

She asked me to dress the way i wanted for the shoot, and so i arrived wearing my normal day attire. tank top, jeans and rubber shoes.

I always love love to wear "sando" tank tops. Not because the weather is always humid here in Singapore, (ok that's one!) :) but because it's super relaxing and always comfortable to wear. (well... except when the weather is cold or when it's raining!)

I normally pair it with jeans coz i really hate wearing shorts and bermudas to be honest, unless needed lol. But seriously this photo-shoot really makes me nervous. Maybe because I know that I am not really a model and I'm not really good in posing for pictures professionally.

but still, thanks to Van, she really gave me lots and lots of patience.

And just to let you all know.. one of my my lifelong dream is to become a model, that i know it's 'gonna be too impossible to happen! considering the fact that i was not gifted with "height"! haha

But oh well who cares?! I'm still pushing it! I'm just being myself and I'm just being happy in life!

Life is too short to deprive ourselves from those things that makes us happy.

And so here you go guys! here's another ootd post for you all. :) Forgive me for my sooo "awkward poses" I'm still learning... and I'm trying.

But honestly I am very much happy with how this photos end up. I think it's pretty, Van did a great job and i think i really did a good job too! :)

lemme' know what you guys think?? :)
