10 Trends to Toss after 2010
Find out which fashion fads are closet-keepers no longer. By Stephanie Castillo

(1) STATEMENT TEE
WHY IT’S OUT: It may have seemed totally cool when you were in college, but now it’s time to leave the word war to the kids.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: Breezy blouses in the season’s It-prints—ikat and paisley (yes, it’s back!).
(2)PUFF-SLEEVE TOP
WHY IT’S OUT: We wonder why it was “in” in the first place. Puff-sleeves tend to make your arms look larger—plus, they’re popular among two-year-olds.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: Cap-sleeve tops—the flattering half-sleeve cuts across the meatiest section of your upper arm.
(3)GINGHAM SHIRT
WHY IT’S OUT: It looks like a school uniform.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: If you like plaid, do it in a blazer with an eye-catching color combo, like wine red and royal blue.
(4)CROPPED VEST
WHY IT’S OUT: There’s nothing offensive about the cropped vest, but we feel the silhouette has run its course—it tends to make an outfit look dated.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: A draped sleeveless shrug with extra fabric in front for more drama—and less stomach!
(5)LOW-WAIST MINISKIRT
WHY IT’S OUT: It’s so Coyote Ugly—baduy, not badass.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: Flowy maxi skirts, both high- and low-waist.
(6)DISTRESSED DENIM HOT PANTS
WHY THEY’RE OUT: Once they were perfect for the beach, but when these “denim panties” hit the city, they caught scores of teens and 20-somethings in various states of undress.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: Fabric shorts with sashed waists—easy, breezy, and ladylike.
(7)PRINTED LEGGINGS
WHY THEY’RE OUT: Rule of thumb: printed pant legs are never a good idea. So ‘80s!
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: Patterned stockings—a great way to stylize your legs without getting too gimmicky.
(8)FRINGED BOOTS
WHY THEY’RE OUT: The cowboy thing self-destructed after Madonna’s Music album—but for some reason, the farmhand footwear endured.
WHAT TO WEAR NOW: Wedge booties—chic, sharp, modern, and best of all, comfortable!
(9)OVERSIZED BAG
WHY THEY’RE OUT: People finally figured out that bigger isn’t always better—even when you’ve got a ton of stuff. Ever peeked instead an oversized tote? Utter chaos.
WHAT TO WEAR INSTEAD: Structured, medium-sized handbags like the reinvented satchel.
(10)BOW HEADBAND
WHY THEY’RE OUT: Trend overkill! Even Gossip Girl’s Blair Waldorf is foregoing the ubiquitous ribbon in her hair; nowadays, she sports her signature bow on her garments.
WHAT TO WEAR INSTEAD: Bejewelled headbands dotted with rhinestones or colored gems.
Buwan
Itchyworms
naaalala ko kasi nung nag-overnight ako kina mikee para gawin yung walang kwentang geometry project namin, nakinig lang kami sa itchyworms (et al) magdamag.
Closing Time
Semisonic
Favorite patugtugin ni mang Lorenz pag nagliligpit na para sa UPIS fair circa late 90’s- early 00’s.

lasing monologue # 1
Nung bata pa ako pangarap kong maging nurse, kasi sabi ko gusto kong mag-injection kasi gusto ko ng madaming dugo. Tapos na-realize ko na, shet ba’t di nalang ako maging surgeon di lang nag iinjection nangangatay pa ng tao diba.. pero doktor yun diba at ayokong maging doktor kasi madaming doktor sa mundo at takot ako sa doktor at lalong takot ako sa ospital kasi madaming mumu sa elevator unless diba single storey yung ospital pero ano yun palengke?
Kaya sabi ko nalang, ma ano bang trabahong walang ospital walang patay at walang dugo, sabay bukas ng TV, babae pa si Aiza nun eh tapos Little Miss Philippines, sabi ko shet gusto ko nalang maging Little Miss Philippines tapos narealize ko na isang taon lang na trabaho yun at di naman yun tunay na trabaho tignan mo nalang si Aiza ngayon.
Dumating ang elementary madami akong natutunan. Merong siyensya, meron ding panitikan. Paborito kong mag-aral ng lenggwaheng banyaga kaya sabi ko gusto kong mag-around the world! Sabi ni mama magi akong stewardess pero diba sa eroplano yun ayoko ng eroplano walang bidet ang CR dun ayoko ng CR na walang bidet. Tsaka kailangan magaling kang mag-dive at magswimming ayokong mamatay ng maaga. Sabi niya maging anthropologist ka nalang, kaya gorabells… Eh kaso narealize ko naman… sino bang yumaman sa pagiging anthropologist?
rugby at upos.
Nung bata pa ko papuntang school sa Diliman may taong grasa na palaging nakabalandra sa daan.
Hindi siya si Zorro ha, mabait si Zorro tsaka hindi siya taong grasa, well anyway yung taong grasa hindi siya kumakain kaya ampayatpayat niya.
At tuwing nagugutom siya, sinisinghot nya sa isang plastik ng yelo:
suka, sili, RUGBY AT UPOS.
shit ma-try nga baka mangayayat din ako.
