Dear mouse,
I was bloghopping when I saw the question, who is Malu Fernandez?
So I googled and read the back issues of Manila Standard.
Here are her “makabagsak timbang na mga quotes”.
1. Manila Standard May 28 article, Luxury Labels to haves and have nots
But like I said, I like how the truly rich people think and the snobbery behind it all. At the end of the day the true rich are different from what we call rich in this country (90 percent of the rich in this country are thieves anyway but that’s another article Does her sister Vicki Fernanez Zubiri know this?
2. Manila Standard, May 7 Divalicious parties on the go.
Those of you who don’t know the brand Zara, are either living under a rock or all your clothes are from the ukay-ukay.
3. Manila Standard April 16, Are you stinky-linky or do you smell like a divine divalicious babe?
Call me whatever you like but when you are trapped in economy class that is filled to the brim with migrant workers the smell gets a little funky after nine hours of flying..
If all you can afford is Axe cologne use the magazine scents or don’t wear any.
4. Manila Standard , April 9 The Diva Goes to Greece.
Ron is the vice president of Sony corporate communications and has a very stressful job. I, on the other hand, am just perennially stressed just by living in this godforsaken place in the Third World. So anytime I have the opportunity and the means to get out of Manila, I take it.
Her father was Dr. Fernandez, a dermatologist.
The Ca t
the real rich are very low profile people, theirr true value are the charities that they work on. when they can make a difference in uplifting our quality of life, kahit si Ms. Melinda Gates minsan lang bumili sa Saks, at very simple lang
and of course, our present day real ritz loved by everyone, talagan umiyak ako when she died, Princess Diana, ung charity work ipinasa niya kay Prince William and I’m hoping that he will surpass all the projects her Mother started to help this world a better place to live in.
Sana ito ang naituro ng Tatay ni Ms. Malu sa kaniyang mga anak.
as if naman high-end ang zara. asus!
Lorena,
Sad to say, na ang iba sa mayayaman sa atin ay wala pa sa kanila ang magbigay ng tulong sa kapwa.
Nasa palasyo kasi nila palagi sila.
Tingnan mo sina G. Barreto at Ruffa, sobrang magmalaki ng mga damit nilang signature.
I agree with number 1. Almost all of them are THIEVES! All what they have are OURS!
reyna,
pero mas maganda a kaniya diva?
ruth,
maybelline nga pinopromote niya eh. ano ba ang zara?
my co-workers always compliment me when they see me wearing something new, and of course my reply is the jingle “I got it at Ross” with matching dance number yan ha, and they really liked the blouses I got from Divisoria, I am extra large and I was so happy to find a store selling for tamboks like, it was on the 3rd flr of the mall,
Most of the time naman kasi noon naka pants ensemble ako.
I’ve worked with a couturier before and I learned some fashion sense. The secret is in the mixing and matching and the propriety of the outfit to the occasion.
less borloloys looks more elegant or classy and please ladies don’t show your any lines of your undies, it ruins everything. It doesn’t matter whether it is a CK, DK, Rosseeei, or Targeeeyyy( french twang), what matters is you are neat from head to toe
amen to that.
Minsan nanonood ako ng The Buzz, merong guest sila doon na panay ang yabang ng kaniyang suot. Panay naman ang hila niya dahil lumalabas ang strap ng bra niya.
as my Father would say regarding Ruffa, G. Barretto n company: “Wala Yan”. They have become trash of the society, instead of becoming role models, they have shown the ugliest side of worshipping money. Kaya ako kay Ms. Leah Salonga and Monique Wilson pa rin – those are really talented artists who have put the Philippines in the map. hindi ako elitista by admiring them, I’m just recognizing all the efforts and love they have in pursuing and perfecting their craft, I have greatly applauded the Movie Ang Pagdadalaga ni Maximo
I wish I’m not misinterpreted if I have the below views on Ms. Fernadez’s articles as you have quoted in your post (my comments are in brackets)–
“But like I said, I like how the truly rich people think and the snobbery behind it all. At the end of the day the true rich are different from what we call rich in this country (90 percent of the rich in this country are thieves anyway but that’s another article Does her sister Vicki Fernanez Zubiri know this?”
[I’m an engineer with my present employer and one of my jobs is to interface with vendors and majority of them are rich people. People who are THERE already. Every time we have some negotiations, under-the-table dealings seems to be normal part of them. (I can easily say that I didn’t want to have any part of it but I would just let you and your readers to have their own conclusion. Tip: I’ll not mind if you and your readers will think that I have in some or most of the times connived with them).
The other thing, I also have attended a lot of social gatherings involving those rich people. (Perhaps Ms Fernadez, being a writer of the fashionable elite, has attended thousand times of this kind of social gatherings.) Topics of discussion are often times under-the –table dealings or corruptions as if they are already institutionalized. What I mean is she could have an inside information to declare that 90% of them are thieves even though, possibly, she does not have an intention to document them. I could only speculate.]
“Those of you who don’t know the brand Zara, are either living under a rock or all your clothes are from the ukay-ukay.”
[I would not even flinch if she has said in comparing a wholesome and unwholesome person (your boss and the other boss) as if heaven and hell are being compared. Sarcasm to add hilariousness to an statement.]
“Call me whatever you like but when you are trapped in economy class that is filled to the brim with migrant workers the smell gets a little funky after nine hours of flying..”
[She’s already expecting that her remarks can be interpreted as bigotry, etc. but she still went on with her sarcasm to be hilarious.]
“Ron is the vice president of Sony corporate communications and has a very stressful job. I, on the other hand, am just perennially stressed just by living in this godforsaken place in the Third World. So anytime I have the opportunity and the means to get out of Manila, I take it.”
[This one is not anymore a sarcasm but her true feelings. But then, we always read, watch in TV, hear over the radio that our countrymen are leaving Philippines for the same reason. (Uunahan ko na kayo, wala akong link). I can not blame them. That’s their opinion which I’m not in agreement also but I will not consider them bigotry or discriminatory or hate comments.]
trosp,
Everyone deserves to be heard. I blockquoted your statement in my previous entry for emphasis and then I expressed mine.
Nothing personal. If your comment is not published here, it means I do not want dissenting opinion.
What I do not publish are those comments which are just flaming by resorting to namecalling and threatening.
we call it dysfunctional family (ex: Ruffa, G. Barreto)
as I’ve said before, evrybody makes mistakes, but I am hoping that one of their real friends; Ruffa, G. Barreto, or Ms. Malu should have spoken to them very discreetly to advise them that they have to stop flaunting to the public their opinions or wrong actions. I’m calling the attention of mothers out there to go back to the basic teachings of good manners and right conduct.
What is disturbing with this issue is the way it was blown out of proportion. I see it as washing our dirty linen in public. I would even say that this can become an international issue that in the end, we, Filipinos, will be the laughing stock.
[...] not only insult OFWs but also people who’s below the writer’s socio-economic status (remember her statement about ukay-ukay users) makes me feel angry. And you won’t like me when I am angry. I turned into a HULK. [...]
Ang sarrraaaaap pisilin ang pisngi ni Maluuuuu. Kakagigiiiiilllll.
Watson,
cute ba?
