Must Watch: The September Issue

Seriously. If you have a fashion-obsessed girlfriend, watch this. If you work at a magazine, watch this. If you're a curious cat as to what this movie's about--and why a lot of people buy a 5-pound magazine every September, watch this.

Me? I'm watching this because of Grace Coddington, the surprising star of the movie. From the single trailer I saw her in, she immediately comes across as the silent marshall, soldiering on the pages of Vogue minus Anna Wintour's trademark icy demeanor.

Music Break: Do You Hear the People Sing

What a rousing song. That's all I can say. And it's only a two-minute song!

(There is a space between the letter "a" and the word "rousing." Let's not get any ideas.)

Disclaimer: No, I did not start listening to Les Misérables songs because of Susan Boyle's "I Dream a Dream" audition song at Britain's Got Talent. I've seen the Broadway musicale in New York in 2003 but I was too young to appreciate it then. It's second on my list of shows on Broadway I've to watch this year, next to The Lion King.

Buhay Buhay Bagong Buhay is now Spitfire Stories.

Welcome! This is Spitfire Stories

To new visitors of my blog, welcome. To previous followers of Buhay Buhay Bagong Buhay, welcome back. To those who were wondering why the change in blog, I don't have an answer for that yet, besides the fact that change is fun.

One of the things you'll notice is that the titles of the posts on my blog are color-coded. That's for identification of what subject matter I'm talking about for the post. There are also icons on the right for easy reference.

From left to right: iChat (for personal thoughts), book (for media like magazine commentary, what I'm currently reading, and so on), Burberry trench (for style-themed posts such as 60-Second Style), sushi (for food), wooden mask (for cool things, links, and goings-on), Eiffel Tower (for travel), and finally the U2 iPod (for music).

Obviously there's a lot of work still to be done here. Heck I don't even have a banner yet. I'm working on adding more elements in here, so check back often.
