MANILA, Philippines -- The process of learning never stops for Brazilian-Japanese model Fabio Ide. That is basically the reason why he grabbed the opportunity to be a model, so he can travel the world, discover, and explore different cultures. And of course, there is the process of earning while having fun.
“In the beginning I was shy. I don’t know if I wanted to do this. Then when I started working and making good money from modeling, that was when I said, ok I’ll do this. When I was offered to work in Hong Kong, that’s when I realized, through modeling I can explore the world. I can learn so many different things,” relates Fabio, who was then trying to finish a Marketing degree, while doing modeling on the side.
Fabio has already graced the pages of various catalogues and magazine editorials and has walked the ramps in China, Japan, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Los Angeles, and Capetown in South Africa.
And like his fellow Brapanese models Daniel Matsunaga and Akihiro Sato, Fabio has found a new home in the Philippines.

Not known to many, Fabio paved the way for the other Brazilian models to eke a career here in the Philippines. He was the first to land here in 2006.







Fabio is currently seen in three shows on GMA, including the late-night Saturday show Comedy Bar, a sitcom (Andres de Saya) and a talk show (Tweetbiz Insiders).
“I wasn’t expecting to be working on these shows all at the same time but I’m happy and I feel so blessed. But at the same time there’s pressure to really focus on my career and make it work.
To prove that I deserve all these breaks I’m getting. I keep on hearing people saying, ‘oh he’s just good looking.’ I want to prove to them and myself that I have the talent as well.”



“I told myself, this year is the year when I will improve myself and speak really good Tagalog. Everything is different that’s why it’s a challenge. If I’m in Brazil, with the experience that I have, maybe I would be a big star there now. But here, for you to get there, it takes awhile, and that’s the challenge. You have to study a lot to improve yourself as a model and as an actor,” explains Fabio.

Fabio Ide Sneak on Manila Bulletin

He's cool and friendly, really!!
------------------------------

Today, Students and Campuses featured Brapanese model/host/actor Fabio Ide and I had the privilege to style for this shoot!! 

If there's one thing I like the most in styling famous models (turned actors), that is they'd wear anything you ask them to wear. That is what exactly happened with our shoot with Fabio, he was very professional, he wore every piece I chose, armed with his best accessory, his smile!

Here's a preview pic of Fabio... Tomorrow I'll post the rest of the pictures including those which didn't make the cut.

My Favorite Cakes are from MedChef

Medchef cakes by Chef Hasset Go are ♥ ♥ ♥ and more!!
---------------------------

Weekends make me excited because, it not only serves as my work-free moments, but also, it is the time when I can indulge on foods that I can't usually eat on weekdays. Also, weekends are the schedules when Food Night Bazaars are open here in the Metro. I usually frequent the one in Bonifacio Global City, it's called Midnight Mercato.

Everytime I go to Midnight Mercato, the first thing I buy are Medchef Cakes before anything else. Why do I love Medchef Cakes?? I think because it has tickled my passion for sweets, aside from the fact that it has healthy food choices. My all-time favorites are "Mango Torte" and "Bread Pudding Creme Brulee." You should try it, as well as their Molten Chocolate Decadence and their Pastry Tower. I swear their cakes are heavenly!

Medchef has a shop in Mother Ignacia QC (right across ABSCBN), it is also available at Banchetto (Ortigas) and Mercato (The Fort) on Friday nights and weekend mornings!

What's more??

Medchef not only offers sweet treats but also it offers feast for the eyes. If you're lucky enough to drop by Medchef posts in Mercato you can also spot cute and friendly Chef Hasset Go!!

So girls (and girls at heart) out there, drop by Medchef at Mercato, try their cakes and try your luck with Chef Hasset! lol

ANTM Cycle 17 All-Star Cast Revealed

Who will be the fiercest loser!?
----------------------------------

Yes, I got really excited when i heard America's Next Top Model will be doing an All-Star Cycle. Losers from cycle 1 to 16 will have another chance to battle it up to be America's Next Top Model in the upcoming Cycle this fall.

here are the models who will battle it out on the runway!

Cycle 1: Shannon Stewart, runner-up 

Cycle 2: Camille McDonald, fifth place



Cycle 4: Brittany Bower, fourth place

Cycle 5: Bre Scullark, third place

Cycle 5: Lisa D’Amato sixth place

Cycle 9: Bianca Golden, fourth place

Cycle 10: Dominique Reighard, fourth place

Cycle 11: Isis King, 10th place

Cycle 11: Sheena Sakai, sixth place

Cycle 12: Allison Harvard, runner-up

Cycle 13: Laura Kirkpatrick runner-up

Cycle 14: Angelea Preston, fourth place

Cycle 15: Kayla Ferrel, fourth place

Cycle 16: Alexandria Everett, fourth place

I'm seeing major bitches, a Niki Taylor Look-alike, a couple of ugly pretty girls, a tranny, a lesbian,  and a  poor girl from the suburbs, this is going to be interesting. Although I think there are more deserving losers from the previous cycles that can bring competition to this cycle.

So who do you think will be the fiercest loser??

My bets are Isis, Angelea, and Kayla.

Sam Concepcion
18, singer, actor, dancer, host, advocate for World Vision, Department of Education ambassador.


What is the craziest pick-up line you’ve used on a girl? 
I really don’t use pick up lines. I try to strike a conversation, and I usually think of something on top of my head, or something I noticed about her. I try to find a common ground so that we can have something to talk about.

Enrique Gil
19, star of “Mula sa Puso” and “Good Vibes.” A laid-back kind of guy.

Which do you prefer, to party on the beach with friends, or to go on a road trip with someone you like? 
Road trip with someone I like! Okay rin ‘yung beach with friends, but I will remember the road trip more. Kasi ‘pag friends ang kasama, the next morning hindi mo na maalala ‘yung mga nangyari. Siguro I’d take her somewhere cold and romantic, maybe somewhere in the South — Laguna or Tagaytay. I want it laid-back, chill.

Fredison Lo
21, all-around performer, artist-on-the-side, self-confessed dork, Communication Arts major, cast member of TV5’s remake of ‘80’s sitcom “Iskul Bukol.”


A girl’s pretty face is enough to catch any guy’s initial interest, but what’s the deal breaker in finding out if you’re really into someone? 
I’m really into the smart, quiet type…the girl-next-door with a bit of a wild side. ‘Yung parang may kulo sa loob…and funny ‘cause I’m naturally not funny, which is weird ‘cause I’m in a sitcom now.

Marco MaƱalac
22, actor, commercial model, Ateneo De Manila University cum laude Communication graduate, writer.

Have you ever wanted to get out of a date so bad that you invented some lame excuses? 
No, I never do that. Respect naman for the girl, not to hurt her feelings. Be nice because even if a date is not working, just try to have a good time like good friends. It’s like closing a door on everything if you are going to do that.
