Amaia Holds Upcycling Challenge In Nuvali

I had my bets early on and guess who won the competition! :)

We have already made huge waves in recycling but Amaia is doing it better buy having an Upcycling challenge in Sta. Rosa's Nuvali property. It's owned by the Ayala's. Upcycling basically means you have to make it worth more than what it seems. Contestants were given Php 3,000 for materials and they have to make something that is worth more than what they had, ultimately to produce something that would personify Amaia Steps Parkway and how simple it is to live and thrive in an environmentally responsible community. They all made these in 24 hours and the only thing they would need to include in the mix is softdrink pet bottles. 

Here's what happened during that weekend:

Congratulations to the winners "The Illuminant"! I hope I could get to join this soon. The champion won Php 100,000 which was really big! They could start their small business after that!

Converse Releases Chuck Taylor All Star DC Comics Series

I love Converse and they probably are in more or less 20% of my shoe population right now. They just game me more reason to increase that number when they announced the launch of the new Converse Chuck Taylor All Star DC Comics line this weekend. I'm a HUGE Batman fan and seeing what they have released on this day, I was already saying expletives in my head because I loved every bit of it. Check out our video!

DC COMICS x Converse Philippines by kumagcow

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Wonder Woman sneaker dons the artwork from the Co-Publisher of DC Entertainment Jim Lee. It's got the character's image on the tongue and sides of the shoe, the logo is also on the actual laces. The laces are also available in black and white so you can change the look depending on your mood. It's available in US 5-8 size, and is very limited.

The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Superman sneaker on the other hand has artwork by Kenneth Rockfort. You've got Superman on the sides and at the tongue of the shoe. Also, the red and yellow shield with an S on front is prominent. If you're a major superman fan though, I suggest you get the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Justice League too. The design is created by Andy Kubert. The Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Justice League sneaker has got your favorite DC Comics Super Heroes on both sides of the sneaker including Flash et al. It also has black and white laces so you can jazz it up when you see the need to. 

My personal favorite though (which I don't have yet) is the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star Batman sneaker which shows the caped crusader flying towards the screen on both sides of the shoe. I also like the semi opaque Converse logo that doesn't bother the whole look of the show so if there's something I'd like to buy, it would be just that! The Superman, Justice League and Batman is in sizes US 7-11,

Check them out at all Converse branches nationwide! It costs Php 3,510 a pair. Get it before it runs out!

They've already released the video on the ASUS Philippines page yesterday and it looks stunning.

They call this Incredible Catwalk and it's but an honor for a Filipina to be in this campaign with international technology brand ASUS. It'll be all shot on location and they say it's going to have a contemporary interpretation of each country’s national dress. All mean to be inspired by their own country's unique culture and heritage. The gorgeous Kim Jones has already worked with brands like Louis Vuitton so you can only expect this to be very editorial. Just think about it, she'll be in India, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand, Vietnam and the Philippines all to be shot with the powerful yet stylish Zenfone 2. They're going ahead and confirm that the ZenFone 2 is this season’s most stylish tech accessory. Check out how she fared here!

I remember the ZenPad which I got as a companion to my coverages and trips, but have yet to experience the Zenfone 2 which I see some of my other blogger friends have. But judging by the layouts they made with it, the photos seem really good. Now imagine if you're using this for your own OOTD's and flatlays. That would be a story no? As for now, I can't tell. Though for the Zen Looks, it's nice!

Oh by the way, there's a contest about this on their Facebook page. So make sure you follow their social media channels okay?
