Hey guys! Sorry for not updating my blog recently. I have a hi5 account now! Add me and love me at pattarawitta.hi5.com. Now let's get you some fashion dose! Big thanks to New York magazine, my most favorite magazine, ever!

I have to admit that although I'm not a big fan of his eponymous clothing line and Louis Vuitton, I adore adore his own style. I mean he's one of the most best-dressed men I've ever seen. Have you guys see him in Arena Homme lately? His body is perfect...well, you've gotta be that perfect if you have a really cute personal trainer in a costly private sport club in Manhattan, isn't it? He dressed in greenish Comme des Garçons suit to Takashi Muralami's exhibition in Brooklyn. Fantastic! He makes me wanna try something more daring!

I don't know where he's got this much energy from but Karl makes it again. He will be Deejaying in next version of GTA. He will pick his favorite music and of course, they are electronica and dance music! Go-go Karl!

Oh my god! Listen guys! Comme des Garçons will make women's, men's and children's wear for H&M including fragrance! Holy Christ! I really wanted some of former Karl Lagerfeld's collection so much! Anyways I cannot afford the ticket to Europe to buy this Comme collection. But wait! I remember there's H&M in Hong Kong right?

My Fashionable Life

2008-03-26T01:51:00.000-07:00

It was a very busy week. I mean for fashion it was a very very exhausting week.

At first I didn’t wanna see any of these shows but I realize that after this long school break before university (Chula Inter begins around the 15th August) I will have so a little time for fashion. And here are some of the shows, sorry to not write a review because I am soooooooooo busy with my new project! (No, no, no. It’s not my wedding one, not just yet.)

cK Private Fashion Show
Love love love its minimalist style, not too different from its main line but the price is much more comfortable. All models were celebrities and movie stars…I think they should have hired less-known models and have spent more on the show. Fanta kept me company today…and took almost all the photos ;)

Bangkok International Fashion Week

Asava Inspired by Singha and Theatre. The first one had a very good taste but boring show while the latter was a spectacular African theme with a lot of decorations and body painting. They looked good on catwalk but I believe they all would look cheap in their store.

Nongnu dressed in Ab-baew style. Kidding na. She looked so young with that cardigan and all her clothes. While I looked anorexia in this layering and voluming shirt!

That’s all for today. Next time I’ll report you Elle Fashion Week. Don’t miss because it was just so SEXY!

Product Launch

2008-03-09T12:31:00.000-07:00

Two new products of the century!

Next Step for Men

For Men trend is a phenomenal. From basic moisturizer to spa treatment, almost everything is made exclusively for men these days. What else can it go 'for men'?
Here is the answer. Pocky for men! I haven't bought Pocky myself for decades now. You might think of its two traditional flavors: chocolate and strawberry. Dark brown and pink colors are not enough to distinguish the sex? Apparently, no.

I haven't tasted it though because it costs too much for me.
You can't find this kind of Pocky at Sho-Huay shops next door though. Pocky Men's is available at supermarket in Emporium and Paragon along with many other kinds of Pocky. Get it why it is so costly?

Next Step for iPod
From click-wheel control, then picture and video display, to touch-screen portable music player. What Apple does is always surprising. But let us introduce the new iPod. Thinner-than-ever iPod! Thanks for the model, P'Ploy...nice hand!

Atonement

2008-03-09T09:47:00.000-07:00

This movie has easily become one of favorite movies of all time.
I'm not sure whether it is based on a novel I've seen Atonement or not but I'm sure that both the movie and the novel will be fantastic just like The Cold Mountain which I adore.

But a favorite movie doesn't mean it good, at least not necessary. The story is about a girl who lies because of jealously. Briony the girl accuses her sister's lover a criminal. The effect of her evil act is that a couple of young lovers set apart, by society and by war but mostly by her false story. As we know in life, when you lie about something, you have to live with it and have to lie more and more endlessly. Atonement encapsulates all human's greed to a very beautiful and memorable movie. All the actors and actresses show their great ability. I'm still not sure whether it has been cut or not but the movie is too short, just an hour and a half proximately. And that is a very huge problem here. You need more time to elaborate such a profound story and such a beautiful and touching movie.

Everything Bad is Good for You

2008-03-03T07:11:00.000-08:00

I was to canceled my membership at AUA library. Suddenly, this shock-pink book with a man who has a television as his head appeared. Hence, I ended up paying them for more one year membership despite the fact that I was broke! And here is my brief review of the book.

Grand Theft Auto and Desperate Housewives might not that unfruitful as we think. We assume that reading book is more beneficial than playing video games since books stimulate children's imagination while video game does not nothing but cultivates our children with violence and impatience.

But what if it's all wrong?

Personally, I didn't find this book WONDERFULLY ENTERTAINING as Malcolm Gladwell remarked. However, the author, Steven Johnson, has done a very good journalism and analyze pop culture in a very different ways. And you should not miss it if you are interested in multimedia culture or want some good reasons to argue your parents that what you are doing (like watching Prison Break all day) is not useless as they think.

All in all, you may cannot replace People magazine with this provocative book, you can still enjoy its witty style of writing with a lot of unorthodox facts and opinions.

Available at Kinokuniya's.

My Day

2008-02-26T00:19:00.000-08:00

Yesterday was my day.

Well, I miss my fitness class in the morning but that doesn't matter. I had an appointment to choose some furtinure with New at Paragon but the big good news was to arrive.

Her mother likes my style of writing so I get the job to translate the whole book!

In the afternoon, my money has arrived in my account, could it get any better?

Yes, it could.

After a hard work at New's mom's office (a lot of 's here) I miss the gym again which was not a good sign since I would love to get fit by this summer. I took the train home and felt like at least it was my day with two good news. But that's not totally true. Around 8pm I felt like the result at BBA, Chulalongkorn was there but it wasn't so I just checked to Economics at the same university out and...IT WAS THERE!

I called New so that we could look at the list together.

1st Page...

2nd Page...

4th Page...

Actually there are only 150 people to be in there plus 200 more in waiting list. Almost last page but Pattarawit Jaroenkit seemed to be no where. Deep breath, this couldn't be true...could it?

Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! She screamed...but I didn't see my name yet and... IT'S THERE!!!!!!!

I got Economics Chula laew!!!!!!

The name announced was based on our id not ranking and I applied the last day so my id was like almost at the last.

A lot of phone call and messages and IM since the news had arrived. Thanks ye'll for being so supportive. Especially my dear friend, New.Aghhhhhhhhhhhhh!

Wasn't it my day?

For better or worse

2008-02-04T05:29:00.000-08:00

American Gangster

2008-02-01T09:17:00.000-08:00

New (or Sky or AppleGirl or Apanee or whatever my friend's name is) and I went to Paragon to see Jay Chou today. Well, actually we happened to be there for a movie while the crowd was waiting for him to show up. And although I am not one of those groupies, I do like him a lot.

We watched American Gangster, a very good movie based on true story about drugs dealers and the city of New York forty or fifty years ago. Both Denzel Washington and Russell Crowe have proved their acting ability and the screenplay is full of conflict among characters and inside each of them. You'll see a dark side of Bangkok in the movie but please don't ever worry that foreigners would think our city is full of drugs and prostitutions because it was once like in the movie and NYC is portrayed as bad and dark as it is, too.

New (or Sky or AppleGirl or Apanee or whatever my friend's name is) and I loved the soundtrack so much especially this song called Do You Feel Me by Anthony Hamilton. Tell me what you think about the film or the music anyway.

O! She's a supermodel!

2008-01-26T09:11:00.000-08:00

If I could have my own clothing line and collection, I would choose her as a face of the brand. Sexy, funny and daring, Paengsuda has it all. Being able to communicate in Italian, she could become a supermodel effortlessly with a beautiful face of the former TV host Bo Chayada. Okay, she is no skinny but see what happened with Lily Cole recently? Full-figured model is so in. She can dance in multiple styles and has won many prizes. Strutting down the runway is nothing comparing to dancing impeccably on an international floor.

Now she studies so hard that she has no more time for modeling...and so busy that she has no any chance to hit the gym. However, she still tribute some of her precious time staying in tune with the fashion world--America's Next Top Model. Now, Paengsuda lends her stationery like pen and pencil to her dear friend Wit regularly.

O! Is that Coke, Love?>

Shopaholic Rehab

2008-01-26T09:04:00.000-08:00

I've seen this buying craze rehab program in latest issue of BK magazine. With this program, you'll stop shopping for a whole week from this 28 to Feb 3. Nothing extravagant or indulgent but food and transportation. In Feb 3 there will be No Shopping Fair at Suan Santi Chai Prakarn where you bring some useless things for you that might useful for the others to trade there.

I have to admit that it's a good idea, especially for me who am broke now from self-indulgent purchases. But the thing is, I don't think I can do this, not with this program. Stop shopping abruptly might prevent me from spending for a week but in long terms it might get worse. There's always a lame excuse like rewarding myself after a tough week like this and then splurge all the money at the mall. And what if I can't control myself? What if an it-bag of the season is on sale during the week? Here come the questions. And I'm no longer a shopaholic, I'm sure.

I see no use for me to sign this program up at all. However, if you are interested please pick the latest issue of BK at Au Bon Pain or Asiabooks. Visit www.wechange555.com for further information on No Shopping program.

Still, I agree with the campaign's philosophy that we can be happy without buying things. Consumerism is not only way to feel good. O!

O! Boyd

Cloud 9@Gaysorn is my favorite shop even though I can't afford their products. It is some kind of mini concept store, for hi-end consumers. The products are varied from the UK's hottest shoes like Swear to many savvy New York based designers. For example, this shirt is fantastic with neat cutting and a it comes with tie.

Another interesting product is leather bags from Boyd, a Thai designer who made his name in NYC, are just gorgeous. Simple and stylish, the bags are made of leather and come in wide range of color. According to a too-good-to-be-true shopkeeper, this brand is sold exclusively here in Thailand and this very brand has already had a corner in trendy Colette, Paris. I'm not sure about the price but I think for a small one is about 23,000 baht and a bigger one for 26,000 baht, not so expensive for a bag with such materials.

Actually, you can't take picture in Cloud 9 but they allow me to do that as long as I'm a loyal consumer!

p.s. it's still too expensive for me anyway and no, I didn't buy the shirt.
