Hypnotic Jericho Rosales on MINT Billboards

It’s been over a year since Jericho Rosales signed a deal to endorse MINT, a local fashion brand, but it’s only now that it dawns on me just how sexy Echo really is on Mint billboards.

A few months ago, while on board the MRT, I spotted this billboard along EDSA (near MRT Guadalupe station). I know this billboard looks so generic but there was something about it that was so wildly attractive. Maybe it’s the shirt. Maybe it’s Jericho’s drop-my-briefs stare. Maybe it’s that little cut on his left eyebrow. I dunno. There’s something about it that’s refreshing and hypnotic and sexy and yummy and God-I-wanna-take-him-home and keeps me talking.

And then, some weeks back, they replaced it with this:

I just died. Haha. I don’t own any Mint shirt or anything but I can look at these billboards for, like, forever.

It amazes me how I find Echo extremely sexy in these billboards even though he still has a shirt on. LOL. I mean, that he didn’t have to go nude or half-naked to appear hot. There’s something about him that is just AAAAH.

Sam Milby for ‘Folded and Hung’ Mediterranean Summer 2010

Thank you, Lord, for this food we are about to receive from Thy bounty. May we use it to nourish our bodies, and thee to nourish our souls. Make us ever more mindful of the needs of others, and the needs of our planet. Amen.

It’s not a secret that I love Sam Milby. I don’t care about what other people say about his acting skills (or to some, the lack thereof). I just love him. (And by “him,” I mean his body and all that comes with it, wahaha). I blogged about his Bench Blackout billboard here and now I’m blogging about him again.

When I first heard he left Bench, I was pretty upset. Not that I like the brand, I just couldn’t believe I won’t be seeing sexy, topless pictures of him plastered along EDSA. But when I found out he jumped to Folded & Hung, the agony ceased. I was ecstatic knowing there could be more daring billboards of him, considering how F&H rules the billboard arena. Sam Milby is my one way ticket to hell. Or to death, supposing lust is indeed a deadly sin. *drops dead*

It just dawned on me how difficult it could be to be a Folded and Hung endorser, given that your female counterpart is Angel Locsin, who is also oozing with sex appeal. Angel is that one thing that keeps the “straight” in me alive. But then, looking at this almost nude Sam Milby photo again, that little “straight” thing I have left inside me has just died. Bwahahaha.

Oh yeah, it’s so dead.

Weekend With Andre

Status: SICK! TONSILITIS! My first this year.
Music: Mad – Ne-Yo | Poker Face – Lady GaGa

Last year, my friend Andre introduced Diego to me. And right then, I fell in love. Diego was just soooo nice and cool and fashionable and affordable. Oh, sorry, I’m talking about the store. DIEGO Store.

Their items, especially their pullovers and shirts were so cute. The best thing about it is that since it’s not that popular yet, you don’t have to worry about being in the same place with someone wearing the same shirt. Exactly the reason I stay away from popular lines like Penshoppe, Bench, Folded and Hung. I don’t usually care about fashion, but it happened to me once. I was wearing Bench and I ran into a guy who was in the same shirt. Gaaaah, mortifying.

Last Friday (8pm), Andre and I dropped by the Mall of Asia to grab a gift. And we came across a new shop — FOX. And whoooah, I looove the store. It excites me in ways that only sex does. It’s an Israel-based fashion chain. They have really, really pretty items there, and they are not costly!

My conscience tells me I must come back. Yeah, coz my conscience is gay like that.

Saturday, 1am.

After the party. Somewhere around BF Homes in Paranaque.

Andre: You wanna kill time at Starbucks?
Yoshke: Eeeh. I don’t wanna spend anymore. I have a couple of gift certificates from my boss but I left them at home.
Andre: Oh, you don’t need gift certificates. You just need me.

Huwaaaw. That’s me being a friend with benefits. LOL.

Saturday, 6pm

While on the train to my apartment. Andre spotted a cute CILF (Commuter I’d Like to Fu… er… poke. yeah, Commuter I’d Like to Poke). Make that CILP.

Andre: Confirmed. That guy is gay.
Yoshke: How’d you know?
Andre: He’s wearing Folded & Hung.

Wahahahaha. WTF.

Nigel Barker and Sausages

Status: Dangerously Hungry
Music: Makes Me Wonder – Maroon 5

Nigel Barker visits Manila. And Ayn, Dohna, Tez, and I were there to show some hospitality and lovin’. If Nigel Barker doesn’t ring a bell, OK, let me tell you that he’s a celebrity photographer and the British bashing (and dashing) judge on America’s Next Top Model. I actually didn’t know he was here until Dohna sent me a text message forcing me to go to Greenbelt with her. And being the kaladkarin that I am, pumayag naman ako despite the rain and very humid atmosphere. While at the train station, we came across Tez who was about to go home but we managed to do a little brainwashing on her. The program was less than an hour but it was very, very substantial. Nigel made a lot of sense and imparted several useful practical tips on fashion photography. And not to mention he was cute. At least his lips were.

I’m being a glutton nowadays. I eat a lot. I usually find myself craving for something. Two days ago, I was desperately wanting sandwiches. And yesterday, while having lunch with Shiena, Luke, and Helen (my friends from Ateneo review classes), I was crazy over sausages. Yes, sausages — food. Not the other thing you have in mind. Though I wasn’t able to have sausages for lunch yesterday, I got a bunch in the evening. Yum yum. And lately, I’m always hungry.

The Skateboarder

Status: Cool (for the lack of a better status term, haha)
Music: Say it Right – Nelly Furtado

Certified Hottie for the week is a skateboarder-slash-model, Josh Wald. Born in 1979, this runway hunk became one of the most in demand models in the fashion world, one of the most searched in cyberspace, and one of the most popular in the gay empire. You think he’s cute? I’m telling you, he’s more than just a pretty face. You might want to check out his body, and drool until you’re dehydrated. If you want to see more of him (more daring, shirtless, sexy pictures of him that would want you to see him nude, haha), just google him or simply click this link. And after that, tell me just how hot this runway god is.
