the school boys.

say hello to Nate Archibald and Chuck Bass.

they're two of the most popular school boys in the entire Western Civilization.

and then there's me, the most popular school boy

in the whole sean's-own-little-world. haha! 

last saturday was an interesting day for us EM boys. in honor of tradition, we Juniors were given our own blazers to signify our growth in the Program, or whatever explanation they have about it. 

in any case, i'm just really happy with how mine turned out. it fits me perfectly. i'm very much impressed with our tailor. i didn't expect it to be that impeccably-made. yay!

here's a photo of me with two of my closest friends in the program, Justin and Yuri.

compare us, if you must. ROFLMAO.

the end.

this week in school, i saw some people still wearing the Blair-inspired XL bow bands and the ever-so-popular shemagh/keffiyeh (or whatever you want to call it). if you're reading this and you've just realized that you're one of them, please, for the love of God, listen to my advice:

stop now to redeem your pogi points.

don't get me wrong. i'm not saying they're ugly or baduy. if you wear them with the right outfit and the right attitude, they're incredibly stylish. it's just that, Gossip Girl has already finished its first season and the whole Middle Eastern trend thing is no longer the rage. in other words, laos na 'yan.

Blair Waldorf.

it was nice and cute when she was still wearing it.

but she's already moved one. so should you.

destroy all the evidence! haha!

David Beckham.

celebrities loved the shemagh. you've gotta admit,

it was such a hot trend.

too bad the flame spread like wild fire.

everybody's wearing it now. and i mean everybody. not good.

it's time for them to retire, folks. they've had their fair share of fame.

yup. i also got into it. i even had four of them.

wore this last summer (which was already pretty late).

i've never worn them since. 

compare and contrast.

i'm sorry. i can't help it.

so tell me. who does it best?

the original Upper East Siders of Cruel Intentions?

or the new batch of rich kids from Gossip Girl?

if you ask me, Kathryn Merteuil could crush Blair Waldorf into a million little pieces. sorry, B. but i think the original Queen Bee is a bigger beetch.

as for Sebastian Valmont versus Chuck Bass, Sebastian has a bigger heart, therefore he's the bigger man. haha! you have to give him credit, you know. he died for the woman he loved. i don't see Chuck ever sacrificing his life for someone else. he's too vain for that.

but as an ensemble cast, i like the Upper East Siders of GG better. their lives seem to be more interesting. i like how they're all so f*cked up.

but of course, us Asians even have our own version.

nope. it's not a new show. thank God.

it's an editorial for Vogue Korea.

not bad, actually. click here for more photos.

i got it from Cecile Zamora Van Straten's blog.
