Hiatus Over

Days have been crazy and school is back. The last time I updated this blog was last Avril of 2006 when I was still thin as a moderate waif and minus 30 or 40 lbs. My hiatus is over and I'm wider awake now than the usual me on crack!

On the right is the image I would think of every time I feel like binge eating or eating a heap load. By doing such I would effortlessly be thin in a month or too. My favourite slim fit trousers have been screaming "Gian, stop being such a fat ass!" And so I have to stop this insane weight gain crap. Above is the new diet I shall live by every single day (haha...if I manage).


2006 was a good year!
The Giancarlo HIGHLIGHTS:

1. Got accepted to fashion school although it's not Central Saint Martins, it's a sister school anyways...London College of Fashion. On 2nd thought I'm thinkin' of other options like Parsons in NY or Instituto Marangoni in Italy.

2. I have become some sort of chef of the late (some 6 months running) doing fusion food playing with French, Italian, Indian, British, Indian, and Thai dishes.

3. Alcohol consumption rose ten fold.

4. Social consumerism is still a part of my life. And the spell of the brands will never die out of me. More Saint Laurent, Tod's, Dior, Versace, and all those material wonders from the 1st world!

5. Discovered the musical phenomena that is Electro rock and Klee is one of the bands thou should listen to. German artists are the greatest or

most innovative in this genre. Ministry of Sound releases an annual compilation of the hottest new electronic music from Germany entitled NEUE HEIMAT (Now I think they're on the 5th...too bad

I only have the 2nd). For further inquiries do check http://www.amazon.de !!!!!

6. Partied harder to make up for lost times cos I haven't been on the dancefloor for a year (Secretly humms to last year's anthem: "I Bet That U Look Good on the Dancefloor" by the Arctic Monkeys).

7. Enjoyed fusion music better thanks to that Crammed Label. Do check out their site... http://www.crammed.be Some of their artists include Cibelle, Bebel Gilberto, Celso Fonseca, DJ Dolores, Bel Canto, Honeymoon Killers, Band Apart, and so much more.

8. A band from Germany emerged and they call themselves FOTOS. Rock and Roll is alive again with the high octane sound trip these guys from Köln induce. To learn more check www.fotosmusik.de or listen to their songs at http://www.myspace.com/fotosmusik .

9. Relived my fondness of Bollywood... now a fan of Aishwarya Rai, Amisha Patel, Sushmita Sen, Shah Rukh Khan, and Hritik Roshan.

10. Became a bigger Francophile this year. (Thanks to their cultural icons like Marguerite Duras, Jean Baudrillard, Jacques Derrida, Robert Doisneau, and so much more)

11. Heralded the coming of Jefferson Hack's new publication venture An Other Man to Philippine shores. I adore this magazine. Who thought a men's fashion magazine could also feature iconic thinkers like Slavoj Zizek and Soren Kierkegaard...c'est incroyable! c'est merveilleux!!!!

12. And I swear I'll send my hostile peace regards to people I have issues with! Kidding! I want world peace (je ne crois pas...sips some vodka for a clearer perspective!).

13. To all my friends! 2006 couldn't have been a good year without you guys. Thanks so much! Greet 2007 with refreshed sex drives!

AU REVOIR, everyone.
