An up and coming online by Anj Puyat and Mica Cabral. With more than 11,000 followers, Clothes Off had made its mark in the online shopping industry. What separates them from the rest? Unique designs sold at affordable prices! Its not your typical thrift shop store since everything's brand new! I had the opportunity to model for their 6th collection! Check it out here.

Ristorante Roma

A ristorante can probably be spotted in every corner in Rome. Everywhere you look fresh pasta, pastries or gelato in every flavor possible could be seen at the display window. It's hard to spot the difference between each of them. Besides the fact that most (if not all) are called Ristorante, they all offer similar menu items.

Case Craze

With the smartphone hype nowadays, it’s almost impossible to not see someone using either an android, a blackberry or an iphone. Probably the most desired, since the release of its first model back in 2007, is the Apple iphone. A revolutionary gadget that changed how mobile phones are perceived and had been the benchmark of smart phones ever since. Apple competitors are having a hard time keeping up with its sleek design, wide range of downloadable apps, and impressive camera. (though i must say there are close seconds :>)

Even Ugly Girls Can Have Sex at Will

My first text-heavy entry: Mo Twister

You might heard of him as the Philippine Genius made known by his downright rude attitude even in public radio. His outspokenness, while refreshing, hurts his image especially with the media scrutinizing his every move. Despite his reputation, I still think he makes sense, and his ability to articulate his thoughts without fear of being judged and criticized is somewhat impressive. His podcast kept me sane during those long hours inside the plane or bus whenever I travel. The episode with Carla Humphries as his guest would have to be my favorite. They do their usual routine, answering questions about love, sex, and relationships from their callers. And, as expected, his advice did not disappoint. Here's a preview:

Borough

My friends and I decided have our monthly dinner at Borough, Ortigas. Despite its location, people still visit this place, so something about it must be good. Mom's milk and cookies is what I think put this place on the map, which I find odd since its literally just milk and cookies.

Cyma

Short post: One of the best way to spend a random tuesday must be to catch up with friends over good food, and Cyma was the perfect place for that. I finally had the chance to meet up with a friend of mine from college. Missed that girl so much, she never runs out of interesting stories to tell.

Accessory organizer

The reason why I haven't been posting recently is that I've been too preoccupied with the whole room renovation thing. I did it when I graduated from gradeschool and highschool, but this time, I completely got rid of my cartoon and school stuff (including my study table), and transfered some junk in the garage. 

That same week I received this accessory organizer from Justine Castillo. It was particularly timely given that I'm organizing what's left in my room, including accessories. Those who know me personally know that I'm not a huge fan of jewelries. I myself was pretty surprised to find some hidden in my old trinket box.

Gloria Maris

First time I've eaten in Gloria Maris. Though I've known this chinese restaurant for years, I never bothered to try it, not sure why. They transfered their branch to the new Greenhills shopping complex. Before watching the Amazing Spiderman, we had dinner there first. The place was divided in three sections: the hot pot (shabu shabu area), regular dining area, and a private area for the fine dining.
