Spent my Saturday morning getting prettified by Bambi for my Blog Na Pinoy portraits. Blog Na Pinoy is this new blogger directory organized by Juned with the help of renowned photographer Michael Sy Yu. But unlike the average blog directory, which is a simple list of blog URLs, every blogger listed in Blog Na Pinoy has his or her portrait photo taken by Michael Yu himself.
My blog is listed under the lifestyle section. Don’t ask me what kind of “lifestyle” this blog describes, because I pretty much just dump all sorts of not-so-personal stuff here. I wanted to use this photo, but you can’t really see the details of my military jacket from this angle.

I promised myself that I wouldn’t allow the contents of this blog to be touched by the commercialization of the blogosphere. Not that I think there’s anything wrong with blogs that zero in on product reviews; in fact, they can be very useful, especially for people like myself who have developed a new interest in makeup and beauty products. But I’d like to keep this blog strictly personal, and I believe there is more to me than the restaurants I eat at, the products I consume, and the gadgets I use.
So I started a new blog to chronicle my newfound interest in makeup and my passion for buying clothes at bargain prices. It’s aptly called I am Bourgeois because really, it doesn’t get any more bourgeois than fashion, makeup, and beauty products. When I closed the Ukay Manila blog and gave the domain to the store, I realized that I missed writing about style and the clothes I wear, and that I’d like to branch out into doing makeup reviews and other fashion features beyond ukay clothes. I think a lot of people were expecting me to eventually get into political commentary, but I’m too fiery and easily angered for my own good. Besides, I’d rather just write about things that make me happy over my disappointments about the government.
Expect tons of new content from I am Bourgeois over the next several weeks!
A couple of days ago, I made a blog called Intellectual Wank. I figured I needed a place to flesh out my ideas on Academic Things, Social Issues, and The World In General. Visit it plz kthx.
