Time Pieces of Glamour -- Ulysse Nardin

Made for perfection through time, that's what Ulysse Nardin have to offer. My first impression when I saw their website: effortlessly elegant. I've never seen such time pieces as special as these.
Each and every piece were made in the highest quality as the tradition goes from 1846 up to the present. Each one were carefully and intricately designed made for your own satisfaction and liking. Too many to choose from so better make up your mind what's best for you before having one, or two, or a whole lot of them. In my opinion, the prices are very reasonable. If you want the finest, for sure it is ok to spend some extra. As for me, I'll definitely get my own in the future. One of my favorites here is the Maxi Skeleton from the Ulysse Nardin Specialties collection. I also love the Ulysse Nardin Complication collection because of the uniqueness of each watches.
So to all of you out there who're planning to buy one, whether for yourself or as a gift to special someone, Ulysse Nardin is the place to find one. Fashionistas, this one's for you... I'm pretty sure, you're itching to have your own now. Me too! Hehehe! Anyone want to give me one? JUST kidding! Check 'em out and see for yourself one of the worlds finest.

love 'em MEAN...


Our local telenovelas, telefantasyas, etc., won't be as great as they are with out the kontrabidas. What is a bida's worth if there won't be villains to darken their days. Here are some of the Philippines' finest on what they do best...playing the MEAN girls.

Who would forget this line: "You're nothing, but a second grade, trying hard, copy cat!" Imortalized by no other than Ms. Cherie Gil. She's simply the classic glamour girl who's presence is simply intimidating.

Gladys Reyes will always be associated with her then role Clara in the soap Mara Clara. She really knows how to play maldita towards the role of Ms. Judy Ann Santos, Mara.

Ms. Jean Garcia. I thought that it was impossible to see her in a non-kontrabida role. Damn was she great as Madam Claudia in Pangako Sa 'Yo. Now, she plays the former queen of Sirenea and the mother of Dyesebel (played by Marian Rivera) in Dyesebel. Major flip of character may I add.

Jean is now on the 'good side' while Mylene dizon took her place. Her role in Dyesebel as Dyangga is certainly one of the biggest in the said telefantasya. Playing as the evil queen is perhaps one of her expertise.

A true blue kontrabida should know how to be sadista, and Ms. Pinky Amador showed she can. Magdusa Ka definitely showed her bad side opposite Dina Bonnevie. Give her a whip and she'll surely work it.

Last but not the least, the queen of 'em all... The original and legendary Ms. Celia Rodriguez. You can feel her intimidating energy just through her stare. I remember seeing her once in Trinoma. She have her personal assistant with her looking glamourous and fierce. She's the epitome of a true kontrabida for me.
