Asian Film Festival at Shang Cineplex!

By Robbie | Published May 14, 2012

I’m sort of a fan of the Film Festivals being shown annually at Shang Cineplex in Shaw. My favorite being Eiga Sai, which shows really cool movies from Japan. But I’ve noticed that we actually lack something that showcases the best from all over Asia. Good thing I found out about the Asian Film Festival, [...]

LOOKBOOK: Islands and Highlands

By Robbie | Published May 8, 2012

I just came back from a fun weekend exploring the islands and highlands of Davao City and had a blast getting fatter and darker for four straight days.

I could see his arms and hear his warm voice, but could not make out the details of his face that was still enveloped by darkness. “Guys, meet Jetro Rafael” said Upper, [...]

It’s an impractical habit of mine to buy new clothes for an upcoming trip and it just so happens that I recently found out that Tomato now has a new line for men called Tomato Green. I saw their recent summer campaign online when a friend asked me to check them out and review their [...]

Illustration: Buko Halo-Halo

By Robbie | Published April 28, 2012

About a week ago, I was brought to a province somewhere in the Philippines and in one of the restaurants we dined in for lunch, we were given this popular Filipino dessert to end our meal. Served inside a buko, it was the damn best halo-halo I’ve ever tasted. I enjoyed it so much that [...]
