I went to a friend(ster)’s website just to check out all the model info he’s been emailing lately. Not knowing this guy personally, the only help I extended him was to forward all the model requests he’s been sending out. (Note: I think he’s honest naman with what he’s been saying about himself and his work so far. I mean, would you actually give out info like MIDDLE NAME to people you barely know?!) But since I was being an “agent”, quote unquote, might as well check out what they really do.

www.deliremodels.com

Here are their qualifications:

FOR FEMALES
Do you have what it takes to be a TOP Model?
natural born Filipina
clear skin
well proportioned bone structure
confidence and right attitude
photogenic
at least 14 years of age

FOR MALES
We are looking for a few good men with:
clear skin
well proportioned bone structure
confidence and right attitude
photogenic
14-30 years of age
minimum height of 5'7"

Given the lofty criteria they’ve put out, I checked out the roster of models they have. (I’ve been going to ANTM’s website far too often for my liking, hehe.) Hmmm…okay lang. Although the devil in me felt like saying, if this is their roster of models…

….then I could be THE NEXT TOP MODEL. Or you. Or anyone else.

*bow*

and screw extra inches to height! As if!:P

Okay, so that was me semi-griping. Hahaha.:)) Anyway, objectively speaking, they could have at least come up with uniform profile pictures for all of their models so they wouldn’t look like they were just plucked from somewhere. Hay. Impressed pa naman ako sa site layout nila.

Wala lang. Minsan hindi ko lang mapigilan di tumawa. I find it amusing that the line “Do you have what it takes to be the next top model”, “Do you want to be the next top model”, or any phrase with the words “next top model” attached to it is the catchphrase nowadays. Haha. I admit, it just simply rolls off your tongue the moment you say it. Or maybe I’m reminded too much of Clueless and Brittany Murphy’s memorable line:

“You’re a virgin who can’t drive.”


Wouldn’t it be funny if tomorrow’s catwalk queens would be tagged as “________, next top model” instead of “___________, supermodel”?

Hail to the future ‘next top models’! :P And yeah -- To my friend(ster) Shaun – good luck with the modeling agency.

In the midst of talking about models and stuff I almost forgot to share what I was really planning to write in here.
My boss just told me RSR has decided that my apprenticeship days are over and they want me out of GF.

JUST KIDDING! (Gosh, if that really happened I don’t think I would ever live it down!)

Anyway, I had just been absorbed in the company. Yay!

Okay, so I don’t really know if that’s such a good news in terms of…ah, well, financial compensation. But at least they’ve acknowledged that I’m cool enough to be a part of the firm.

To be wanted. That’s a nice feeling.:)

Oh yeah, it’s my cousin’s birthday today. Mae, Happy Birthday!:D

And yeah, for a darker side of fun, let me share this email that has some stalker tendencies. Creepy pero who cares? JUST AS LONG AS WHOEVER THAT PERSON IS DOESN’T FOLLOW ME TO WORK AND HOME. What do you think?

This is related to our assignment in UP Col. of Architecture. Thank you for your response.

Btw, if anyone of you knows who Arch Peyups is, tell that person that I think he’s rude and creepy.
