Dress for success

August 31, 2014
The "Ber" months is the least favorite weather of mine than the heat of the summer. It is also the time wherein Jackets and Coats are everywhere. I'm one guilty to sport one too by the way. Jackets, suits and blazers are really my thing, it gives you this feeling of power, confidence, and authority. My teacher from training said "Dress not just to impress, but also for success." thought I was the only one taking it seriously in class but my Teacher "Red" too. I hate to say this that for now, I'm a corporate slave, but I know this won't be for too long. September has just arrived and It's time to reset or bring back what is hidden and buried along your closet. this is always the month where everyone change. this is the season where people embody something else. 

this is the kind of look that I go to for at work. a simple button down oxford sleeves, khaki pants, and corporate jacket to complete the corporate street style look.

For style Savvy people like me, Fashion and style is a way of living. I remember what Andre leon talley said while sharing his experience how he wants his PJ's, towels and undergarments monogrammed at Charvet in Paris "extravagance is how I approach the Aesthetics of living". Since then, I had more reasons to apply the mystiques of the art in my way of living. maybe you should too. 

LITTLE TOKYO MAKATI

August 18, 2014

It was out of no where when my friend sent me a facebook message, inviting me to dine at a japanese restaurant located in makati. "little tokyo" abruptly popped in my head and it was the only place I know that serves a good japanese cuisine in concrete jungle of makati. It's actually my 2nd time around in the place and fell in love with the japanese atmosphere the first time i went to visit. there is an unexpected japanese scene that I never knew existed here in the metro.

my first experience was at "Seryna" and took some picture using my camera phone which was last year 2013 around November before I flew to singapore for the christmas holiday.




the prices of food at Seryna is just reasonable and also to include the experience compared; to the commercialized and diversified japanese restaurants out there in the entire philippines and metro manila. definitely "Seryan" is one of the restaurants in little tokyo to pay a visit to have the japanese experience in the city of manila.

and so for the dinner and catching up with my friend last night, who begged not to post any disclaimed of her for her own grace haha. so this is what we had.



pardon my A.D.D because I forgot the name of the dishes we ordered but it's all sushi anyway. it's worth it!

Check out the lovely place and see for yourself. click on the link bellow to spot it on the map on your way there




OUTBACK STEAKHOUSE

August 17, 2014
This time, I will continuously tell my self to proof read all my post and not let my impulsive spontaneity get in the way to ending up in a mess with everything that I'm writing. I've embarrassed myself already and will just laugh it out about lol. after this post I'd probably get out the safe zone and write down whatever conservative, informative and vulgar thoughts in my mind. To further express more whatever interests I have to share in the cyber world and the whole world of course. enough about me... moving on, I'd like to share the more intimate version of my friend's little birthday celebration compared to mine. not to mention the broken links that i'm pissed about from my previous post about my birthday.
the food was ok. not an over top steak house here in manila. the service wasn't that outstanding but the staff are really welcoming and very friendly.
here are some of the pictures of the food we had. and mind you I still managed to have pics without looking bloated from all the food we had after that night. even thou I obviously gained weight in that picture, I'm already working out to get back in shape.
since I recently landed a job and now enough with the unhealthy drink, eat, sleep and repeat lifestyle I have. and I confess of being sometimes lazy posting. that's why i don't post that much of my lifestyle here in manila. but beyond that. I'd like to be inspiring with my next post and entertaining too ;)
baby back ribs, mashed potatoes, caesar's salad, buffalo wings and another set of baby back ribs! imagine? 






plus non stop set of bread and cheese while waiting for our meal.

Intramuros: San agustin church (tourist destination in manila)

August 05, 2014

I've been staying in the Philippines for 5 years now and I have never set a foot on one of the historical places here in manila. It was around 1pm when my friend called and told me to "wake up! we're going to san agustin church, already parked and here down your building".
so I have to rush myself; just throwing whatever I can wear and grab my camera in such a hurry. I hate myself for not taking that much pictures of the whole intramuros experience that I had because I got carried away with everything that was happening haha. Intramuros gave me the feeling of being in a mix urban and historical vibe that is rare to find in manila. although there is better version of this in Vigan (part of ilocos) but I just want to share the little experience I had in this place.





My friend told me that there are real corpse stored in these walls. but they were transferred here from somewhere else that I already forgot. The place is just really majestic for me, that wasn't paying attention anymore to what my friend was saying and explaining.


there are some parts of the museum that is not allowed to take pictures but stubborn me sneaked a peek of these three beautiful Ivory tusk made figures.





with my impulsiveness and attentiveness, I lost my favorite sunglass haha.

the experience was really awesome especially if you are fond of history and art, so I do recommend for you guys to visit the place and take good memories and pictures! haha ciao.
