daddy pants? oh no.
Dockers Philippines recently held a media event launching Alpha Khaki, a cross-breed between jeans and daddy pants (classic khakis). It has the casual feel of the jeans using a heavier khaki fabric that wrinkles and wears like denim. You can read more about it in my BusinessWorld article here.
Aside from the raw version, the collection also has three finishes — the 1-year, 5-year and...

yum is for pastries
Jet Torres of Jette’s Kitchen sent over a couple of tins filled of happiness. She wanted me to try some of her handmade pastries for BusinessWorld’s food section.

Choco Chip! I’ve been in search for comfort cookies for a while. I’ve been homesick these past couple of months and I just wanted to eat something that felt like it was baked right at home — these were...

wedding gowns and what-nots
Shangri-La Makati held “The Promise: A Wedding Fair,” this weekend. They had programs and talks, and other things.

I was out the whole day and an unforeseen “I-locked-myself-out-of-the-condo!!!” situation went on for about a couple of hours in the same evening.

Sometimes it swells my heart so much that I just have to write it out of me or else I might explode into the tiniest of pieces and be...

to my lover
I was lying in my bed at three in the morning, browsing through the selected pieces of the Alexander McQueen: Savage Beast exhibit, listening to Bon Iver’s first album (For Emma, Forever Ago), when the thought of our fifth monthsary crossed my mind. Happy monthsary, Love. I don’t think I’ve ever felt this satisfied with my life, so content but at the same time impatient and...
