Uniqlo Outs New Star Wars Shirts Today

It's out and they're selling like hotcakes!

One of the most well loved brands in the Philippines today, UNIQLO is turning up some new shirts in the Philippines and they're not ordinary. They've come out with new fancy designs based on the new installment of Star Wars "The Force Awakens". I specifically like the BB8 Black shirt with the colorful droid print in the front. There are also new Storm Trooper designs that would be something your husband or boyfriends would love. For the ladies, they've got the Star Wars logos on white, black and gray tees that you can mix and match. 

The shirts cost only Php 790 and is quite comfy. I'm a big guy and the XL fits just fine, so for ordinary pinoys you might find the size lower apt for Asian physique. It's Uniqlo too so you know you're getting quality stuff all the time!

Visit them today as the Star Wars shirts, hoodies and jackets are available in all their branches nationwide!

Relentless, Forward, Progress Exhibit by Xander Angeles Shot With Samsung NX500

I forget things so this was in my drafts for a few days and just got published today. But that's no reason to not tell you about the event that happened in SM Aura Premier when we went there for "Relentless, Forward, Progress" the exhibit put up by my Sensei Xander Angeles. He's one of the masters in fashion photography and yes, I have attended his workshops a long time, long story. Anyway, this man from New York when I met him was a little big (like me on some edges). He's changed a lot and I think it's that journey that inspired him to do this exhibit and use the one and only Samsung NX500.

My Sensei has been in the industry for years, and with the things he's done, he was still able to do something for himself, change his lifestyle and make a better version of himself. He's continued to inspire tons of photographers, including me and he's never stopped doing that til now. He's also an entrepreneur and goes the mile to provide healthy comfort food in Runner's Kitchen. Now, he's changed gears to prove that the Samsung NX500 is worthy of his work too, even bearing more as his subjects seem to have gone the same athletic lineage he's living. With names like Glaiza De Castro, Solenn Heussaff, Kim Atienza, Matteo Guidicelli, Pia Cayetano and a ton of other triathletes in the mix, it proves that never giving up on a goal would really be something that would be good immortalized on photos. You can see their passion, their relentless pursuit of improving themselves, their industry and their community. A meaningful cause that would inspire countless more generations of Filipinos to come.

As we mentioned, these are all shot using the Samsung NX500 which I was able to also explore that evening. It was good in videos, I also saw some good photos, I couldn't tell if it's super good or not because of the length of time we had been able to use it but I think my camera's better ha (if it weren't 28.2MP)! Although, for something that small, I think the whole form factor, and the ability of it to be at par with the work that masters actually do, I think the Samsung NX500 is worth it. I hope I can get to use one for a longer time because I might change my mind. The technology that it presents though is superb. You can set it to automatically shoot when an object specifically passes a mark which would be good for sports or high shutter needs. I have my reservations for low light photos, but the video quality that time looks very promising. At 28.2 MP, it's a monster in that mirror-less compact camera department.

At around Php 40,000 this would be a steal compared to those from other brands that cost around 60+ with these specs. It's worthy to buy, but really, a camera is still a camera and remember, it's not the pana, it's the indian!

Watsons Celebrity Switch: Tessa Prieto Valdez

It was a fun afternoon to be with celebrities again at SM AURA Premier. Worldiwde health and beauty retail brand Watsons had another round of their Celebrity Switch activities today at their store. Social butterfly Ms. Tessa Prieto Valdez suited up for the occasion and got her hands immersed on how it feels to be a Watson's lady. She began asking customers to come inside the store so they would be able to discover themselves what really good things inside that can be used by your kids, kins, folks and family.

Ms. Tessa says "You get value for your money. I'm so into this wellness stuff and they've got things that are very affordable. They have promos on top of promos and real ones that doesn't fool the customers. This is fun because there are customers that I don't know, and I get to talk to them, get to tell them things that I loved inside the store. I convinced them to allow me wear accessories on top of this comfortable uniform, I thank them for that as well. 

For me, I really shop here and I do save a lot in Watsons. This has been my 5th year with them and I shop here a lot, I'm happy with that. It's because I discover things that you don't know until you get here. They don't have lashes yet so that's what I'm suggesting soon. They have glues though and this is a one stop shop, health and beauty should be affordable and Watsons has got them all, you should not waste money. I save by shopping in bulk. I still like designer clothes, I splurge in that, also my hats and accessories. I don't do alcohol or drugs, I save in where I can but if I need to spend I do. I don't forget to give to charities too, that's important. I think my favorite now is Watsons Generics, they have simple things and new ones that I discovered today like the malunggay capsules. It's really great!"

I also got the chance to shop around with  the Clingers and picked some of my favorites, plus a couple of new ones too. 

I use this on a regular basis so I can take care of my skin after every shave. This is Gillette's Cool Blue.

Pond's Men has some skin cleaning products plus the re-energizing toners so you won't look or feel tired every time you face the camera, artista?! LOL

I haven't used this yet but I think the Dove Men deep clean product would be perfect for polluted Manila, students should know how to use this regularly.

I love Bench scents, they're dirt cheap and if you're not too fuzzy about perfumes, this is your quick fix. It's also nice that you can find it in Watsons outlets nationwide.

The new things I found earlier were these Sunplay Sunblocks, Face Potion that can protect you from the harmful rays of the sun. Don't forget the Watsons Nose Pore Strips too so you can keep the T zone clean all the time!

There are more things inside the Watsons Store that are still waiting to be discovered. Have you visited them lately? Who knows, it could be Christian Bautista, Patty Laurel, Iya Villania or Ms. Tessa on the counter next time! :)
