The PinoyPress Top 10: Great quotes from Malu Fernandez

The following quotes are from Malu Fernandez’s articles in Manila Standard Today.

1) 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.

2) Every woman can be her own beauty artist and realize simply and in a funny way a perfect make up as professionals.

3) Don’t stress out if you can’t find seating. Chill out and be cool. You can always talk standing up. Pretend you’re at the bar or go for a walk.

4) When I was growing up in my teen years even as far as today I often got complimented on my skin. You see, I never had problems with acne or large pores. Perhaps it was the strict regiment I had of taking care of my skin, genetics or the fact that I come from three generations of Dermatologists.

5) My favorite nephew, Miguel Zubiri, prefers Gio by Armani for himself but he absolutely loves Estee Lauders’ Pleasures, a scent he personally picked for his wife Audrey.

6) Patience is a virtue I sorely lack and dealing with stupidity is something I cannot tolerate but something I have to deal with in this God-forsaken country of ours.

7) Although it may sound elitist to you the fact is this country is built on the foundation of haves, have-nots and wannabes. One group will never get the culture of the other.

In the late nineties, I was traveling so much between Europe, Asia and the United States, I used to wake up in the middle of the night and not know where I was.

9) People like me who are trying to lose weight have enough problems trying not to eat the wrong thing. Now all I have to do is sit in my car, drive through and watch my ass get bigger with every bite of the famous (Krispy Kreme) doughnut.

10) 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.
