Eugene Domingo shows Asia how an acceptance speech is done

First of all, congratulations to Ms Eugene Domingo for winning the People's Choice for Favorite Actress at the 6th Asian Film Awards! Yes, the category is a popularity contest but she was also nominated in the Best Actress category for her work in Ang Babae sa Septic Tank (The Woman in the Septic Tank), so let's give her some credence there.

While her winning may arguably just be due to the Filipinos' penchant for overzealous online and text voting (Read: Underground River, Ms Photogenic category in the Miss Universe pageant, etc.), her acceptance of the award, however, brought the house down. She was at her most candid and funniest onstage, leaving an enraptured audience in stitches. Just watch the clip and you'll know what I mean.


Now that's how an acceptance speech should be! I wonder, why does everyone have to be so boring with their Thank yous?

By the way, Ms Domingo, thank you for acknowledging the Filipinos' talent for texting. I voted for you and I feel so proud.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

Man of style: Steven Tyler

What? Yes, Steven Tyler. He obviously does not fit the bill of the suited type or the GQ man but hey, the man's got style. And he's got swag, baby! Since joining American Idol , Tyler, together with fellow judge Jennifer Lopez, have glammed up the singing competition with their flair for fashion ( forget Randy; he's hopeless ). And I am more than happy to wait for what he's gonna wear each episode.
