Today we’re featuring Acqua di Gio Giorgio Armani Profumo fragrance for men. I received this bottle as a gift from my father-in-law who is also a huge fan of different perfumery. What I liked about this fragrance is that it is an improved version of the classic Acqua di Gio. It’s very suitable for formal occasions (think: Coat and Tie) and any night events and parties. I wore this during the Century Tuna Superbods event last time. It’s very suited for events and late night outs. Its outstanding notes are Sea Notes and Bergamot. It also has hints of aquatic notes. I’d say it’s one of the ..read more

I’ve been going to Century Tuna’s Superbods for as far as I can recall. I may have missed a few over the years for one reason or the other, but when I get a chance I make sure to attend it because it’s one of the most spectacular fitness events in the country. This 2024 was no exception and what I especially liked about this year’s edition of Century Tuna Superbods Best You Ever is how they selected a diverse pool of contestants who are meant to inspire you in your own fitness journey. I admit that over the years, ever since I became a dad, my fitness routines really slipped and I had let my h ..read more

You may not know this, but I have been wanting to own my very first pair of Onitsuka Tiger since 2013! Yes it has been such a long time. So what happened? Why wasn’t I able to get a pair back then? I clearly remember what occurred at that time. I was at Mall of Asia back in 2013 and I was trying on different pairs from their newly opened store and NONE would fit me. I am a size 12 and they don’t carry that size back in 2013 here in the Philippines. Even a size 11 didn’t fit me. And so, I lost my interest. It took me more than 11 years, a wife, two kids plus a trip to Japan to finally get my ow ..read more

It’s almost father’s day and if you are still struggling to look for what to give your dad, Power Mac Center may just have the answer for you. A few days ago, Power Mac Center sent me an early father’s gift (and gift ideas). Some of the gift ideas include: Smartphone Car Mount – a must-have for dad’s car. Very useful if you are driving and need navigation guidance from Waze and Google Maps. Audio Technica earphones – for dads who love music on the go Disinfecting wipes – well we know how dirty cellphones can get. These wipes are pretty useful. USB heavy duty cable – good for dad’s chargin ..read more

I miss the good old Manila International Auto Show. I’ve been a spectator of this annual event for as long as I can remember and while this year’s installment is one of the biggest having two venues – World Trade Center and Mall of Asia’s SMX, there are some automobile brands that are noticeably absent. Let’s face it, Chinese brands have invaded MIAS, the biggest car show in the Philippines. I think 21 out of 29 brands in this year’s Manila International Auto Show are Chinese and most of them are new to the Philippine market or never heard. The cars are awesome, no doubt, but there are three t ..read more

As a guy who brings with me two mobile phones (one for personal use and one for corporate use), plus a wallet and some keys, I simply couldn’t go out without putting all that in a small bag. No matter what I do, it just wouldn’t fit in my pockets or if it ever does, it will be very bulky and awkward, and your keys will be scratching your phone’s screen. So that’s why every now and then, I get myself a clutch bag or a mini messenger bag like this one from McJim. What’s nice about this is that it’s small and has plenty of pockets to separate your devices, wallet, keys and pens. It has sepa ..read more

Not many of you know this, but very recently, I started a new job after 12 years of being in the same company. Can you believe it? I’ve always thought I would retire at my old company. But this 2022, I thought of shaking things up and stepping up to the challenge. So I applied at a travel technology company for a Director role. I got accepted and while I know it’s a little scary after being in my comfort zone for years, I’d say I’ve never felt more excited and more enthused by this new opportunity. So wish me luck.

Hello there Manila International Auto Show 2022! It’s been a while. As things start to slowly go back to normal, I also started checking out which events I could try to attend to cover for this blog. One such event that I wouldn’t dare miss on an annual basis is the Manila International Auto Show (MIAS). MIAS 2022 is the first event I’ve ever attended since the start of the pandemic. And while this year’s installment is not as big as in the past because they are still adjusting to living with the virus, it did not fall short of my expectations. A lot of promising new automobiles were launched ..read more

I’ve always dreamed about having my own home cinema setup. Especially that now, more than ever, work has become more flexible and most of us are either work from home 100% or have more flexibility to stay at home and bond with the family while watching movies together in the comforts and safety of our homes. Thankfully, there’s one product that makes that dream come true for me and one which makes it easy for you to transform any space in your homes into a smart theater. I’m talking about the LUMOS RAY projector. How to turn any space into a home theater So how did I transform our home into ..read more

One of the brands of men’s fragrances that I have been looking at for the past couple of years yet never had a chance to try until today is CREED. Creed is a luxury brand of men’s fragrances. I’ve known them for a while now while I was researching for men’s perfume and I’ve always been curious about how they smelled like because of a couple of things: First, they are quite expensive. Like, 15,000 Pesos (or more) per bottle. Second, they have a long history. Creed says that they have been in existence since 1760. Can you believe it? They have been making fragrances since that time and their ori ..read more
