Seeing the iconic Morrissey perform live in Manila was phenomenal! He opened up with “How Soon Is Now?” getting everybody out of their seats and sending everyone rushing towards the front of the stage. No need for seat assignments! I could hear lyrics being sung by fellow audience members all around me for a good number of songs. This was really one for the books.
Went to Reserve after to grab a bite and some refreshments.
Erwin a long time fan got his records and poster signed!
DIY Morrissey support!
Imagine playing cops and robbers, but this time with a twist of being chased by a number (a hundred, yes a hundred!) of the Philippine’s sexiest ladies contending for a two million (2M) cash prize! Axe really pushes the envelope of the predator and prey game, making it arguably the hottest game to hit Manila.
A hundred of the hottest ladies, chasing a hundred guys will be held on June 9, 2012 at Eastwood Plaza, Libis.
Here are some of the mechanics!
The Axe Anarchy Raid is open to all men of legal age who are bold enough to be part of the 100 contenders. Playing the role of robbers, the shortlisted men will be handcuffed and assigned a number. The ladies will play the role of cops and will also be assigned certain numbers each. Braving a host of wild obstacles and challenges, the “cops” must hunt down the “robber” with the same number as hers. The first pair to make a successful arrest will clinch the coveted prize in this no-losers game of fun and adrenaline-filled pursuit.
This explosive event is presented by Axe Anarchy, the first fragrance from Axe for both men and women. Axe Anarchy is a stimulating fragrance that ups the attraction and appeal for both men and women, not to mention igniting the senses toward irresistable territories.
Give in to the new order of insatiable attraction. Try out the new Axe Anarchy and join the year’s most exciting high-stakes chase. Check out www.facebook.com/axephilippines for more details and watch out for updates on the list of female celebrities who will enlist in the hunt.

This is unbelievable! Not even a month has passed since weekend two of Coachella and already they’re selling earlybird tickets! I haven’t even posted about my weekend experience down in Palm Springs and here they are back with more tempting weekends of awesome music! I’m surprised, shocked, and excited all at the same time.
Maybe some of you are thinking great right? Get this, there isn’t even a list of the bands and artists playing yet! Do I jump the gun and buy in? It’s a total gamble! Well, I guess some of us will just have to try our luck and trust Coachella won’t let us down!
This was the last lineup below.

Since it was a reasonably leisurely day, I decided to have some merienda with D at Sango in Rockwell. I have to admit that I’ve missed this quirky japanese burger joint, so much so that I may have over ordered.
Okonomiyaki dog! Just look at that katsuobushi on top that gives it just the right amount of umami flavor! I also had a master cheeseburger but I scarfed that down before I remembered to take a picture. Oh well, charge it to delicious!
I made these. Haha, not.
Make your own Havaianas! At this point I was already really excited to make my pair of slippers, but of course I was playing it cool. So I briskly walked in (instead of full on charging the first available slipper technician?)
Immediately everyone was served pomelo juice, piña coladas, wine, and various sodas (no, no diet mtn dew Lana) aside from the assorted h’orderves that the wait staff were hawking (for free of course).

sidney probably asking for help with what color combination to get. seriously, it’s hard when you’re given a choice of what colors and studs to get on your slippers.

my “technician” was Sy, who was super helpful and patient with my odd request of letters.
Yes, my creation will at last come to fruition!
…right after these letters are attached
and voila! I give you my WAVVES x Havaianas “sky blue”/white combination! In case you guys are wondering, Wavves is an American noise pop/surf punk band based in San Diego, California. Alright, they’re an unofficial collaboration but I can at least tell my slippers apart when I hit the beach. No crazy colors but I think it looks summery [sic]. Those little sunglasses are polarized raybans btw. Heh…heh.. um ok.
Congratulations Havaianas!

Directed by Idris Vicuna

Really great video made by my good friend Idris (of the Bee Eyes, one of his many creative pursuits) and Otto for local band Turbo Goth (who describes their music as SEXY ELECTRONIC ROCK MUSIC ATTACK on their facebook page)
The styling of Carla and Val really completed the aesthetic of this black and white dialogue making you feel as if you’re caught in some kind of time shifting loop while suddenly coming back to a glossy, ghostly reality at the same time. Give it a watch and feel free to reblog their work featured here.
On the set of “Marvel’s The Avengers,” McGarvey and his crew used five Canon 5D Mark II cameras and two 7D models. Using multiple cameras limited the need to re-shoot complex action scenes, and the affordability and compact size of the cameras enabled the crew to obtain ample coverage by strategically angling them from various vantage points throughout the set. “The cameras’ small size was a major advantage to us. We were able to place them in tight locations that were really close to the big stunts, which would be too risky to do with bigger cameras that would require an operator and two assistants,” McGarvey said. He was able to slide one of the Canon cameras into a sewer grating, while placing another under a pile of debris for a key shot of a car hurtling toward the lens, flipping through the air on fire.

More here!
Awesome news. I’m no movie expert but I think the movie was shot really well. Heck, if it’s good enough for the Avengers!
Boracay was a great trip, if you don’t believe me see the pictures below as well as my previous post with a video up. Cannot wait to go back, but this time I think I’ll pack extra sunscreen and try not to get sunburned! Good times!

Sunset, we were about a hundred or so feet from the shore
Sometimes you can’t explain what happened last night enough in pictures, so I’m going to use moving pictures to convey the rambunctiousness of our Boracay trip. Enjoy the ride!
My summer timepiece! Yes, I know it’s a little out of character but I thought I’d mix it up a bit and pick an out of the ordinary piece. The crystals change up to show the time magnetically (like train station info board things)
This soundsystem must have cost a fortune(r)! Get it? Ha-ha. Dig the blue, I miss having a candy blue fixie.
A few of Phosphor’s selection. Including their famous E-Ink models that has been seen on many celebrities and personalities alike.
Perfect place to show off their horological particulars with these beauties.
Nice backdrop if I should say so myself. Hold on, I could’ve sworn I saw Ian King drifting one of these on instagram. Same one?
The EVO que? No, the EVOQUE! Look at those angel eyes hypnotizing you to sell your house, lot, cat and dog to get behind the wheel of this sweet machine.
NOOOOO!
Though their styles are pretty much unisex, this red one would look really good on the ladies.

Decided to spend the labor day weekend in Boracay since I haven’t had the chance to hit the beach this whole summer, and it’s all been chilly weather activity with the recent trips and travels. ie: Cold-chella 2012. It was definitely a welcome change, and it’s always great to enjoy the beaches back in our islands. It’s pretty hard to beat the balmy weather, and powder fine sand of the mostly party itinerary that is Boracay. This is a snippet of what happened last weekend.
Laureen (of Break My Style) was at the White House party snapping away and enjoying the festivities of what seemed to be a “chill” party that grew to a massive event level as the night progressed.
Derek was there in his retro looking Vans shades.

The party just about to pick up. Dino was emceeing, not bad *claps*
DJ something… great set though!
Let’s have a toast for the douchebags.
Sunset city.

This guy was probably resting up for the long night ahead. I should’ve done that. Ended up going to bed at 9PM! Fail.
The party ensued.
It got pretty crazy! People were pouring beer all over the place ala victory champagne bath while singing along to club anthems.
Take note, all these pictures were taken before 8PM. Mind blowing!
This was just one of the days, more to come!
Last Saturday Bea Ledesma and Ria Prieto launched their jewelry line dubbed Narra: Mysterious and Migratory Jewelry. The stingray like invite alone intrigued me enough to go. Coupled with the all too attractive notion of handcrafted artisanaIly created finery, and not to mention the venue and time of the said event (I’ve grown fond of afternoon events lately as they don’t snowball into another night out)
twin skulls up top, these immediately caught my eye. and looking below, the display was perfect, expired corals lent a perfect backdrop for the well crafted pieces.
pieces are in 0.925 silver dipped in gold
Bones, shark jaws, fish fossils, skulls, shark teeth, there’s a very morbid feel to this collection, but perfectly balanced by the marriage and romanticization of the designs with precious metals.
I must say the bone cuff was a crowd favorite. Most pieces are meant to be worn everyday, but do not look out of place at the slightest for a night out or a formal gathering.
Perfect weather and perfect venue. The desserts from the Cake Club were splendid.
Sunny day-ers.
and of course one of the two designers herself. Bea Ledesma.
Narra Jewelry is available at AC+632 Greenbelt 5, Ayala Center, Makati City.
