The fiercest you can be

MANILA, Philippines - Ironically, it is the moment when we face our fears that we become fierce. Whatever it is that is hindering you from becoming the best you that you can possibly be is what you have to do now. Is it breaking a bad habit, buying that dream outfit, or giving yourself that much needed full makeover~we all deserve to look into that mirror, take that #selfie in your best #OOTD (Outfit of the Day) and say, “I really like what I see.”

The Selfie Generation takes pride in their “Outfit of the Day,” they wear it like a badge as a means of saying, “This is how I express myself. This is who I am.” Others may think it is shallow, trivial and superficial, I don’t think so. In an era where, in your mind’s eye you star in your own reality show, what you wear does say a lot about your state of mind. Yes, some do it to impress more than to express but hey, to each his own, right?

And if you’re happy and you know it, what do you do? Yes, clap your hands because it’s time to put your fierce face on and click those heels, head on to the sale season hotspot and indulge in yourself. Yes, yourself. Date yourself, have some meditative ME time while strolling around the mall and just follow the light. Chances are it will lead you to the “Fierce” installation  at the Mega Atrium, SM Megamall. That’s exactly what me and a couple of friends did the other day. We even had the luxury of having well-loved hunk blogger slash actor Victor Basa behind the lens, snapping away at us.

The fierce four

Divine Lee, fresh from her Huffington Post coup of a shot taken at Coachella, is the undisputed Becky Queen, championing the rights of the LGBT sector. No stranger to OOTDs, Divine is one of those beings that unabashedly takes “Outfits of the Day” in her social media networks. And why not, if she’s able to inspire a whole generation of girls to dress better, be more confident and happy with who they are, then by all means.

Saab Magalona is the new queen of the indie scene, what with her non-stop gigs, whether it be as part of her band or as club DJ. Her Girl Scout group is behind the indie scene’s most happening events. Outside this, she has a flourishing acting career, starring with the country’s best and most respected. Daniel Matsunaga is a hunk with a heart, and while we were shooting this PhilStarSUPREME spread, I could hear girls shrieking on the side for this Superman doppelgänger of a super human being.

I am quite late in the #selfie game. Okay let me take that back. I take selfies but I seldom post them. I post #OOTDs to thank the people and give credit where credit is due. And also so that people know where to find the treasures I have spotted. That’s it.
