The New Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II Mono

We've been very busy these past few weeks but when the invite to actually see the Converse Spring/Summer collection had me going. You see, I've got a quarter of my shoe collection with their name on it and to be one of the few people to actually see this is but an honor. Manila's influencers, bloggers and celebrities were actually there too and I was super excited about the new collection. They asked us to take off our shoes and gave us the Converse Chuck Taylor All Star II.

Thanks to Earth for taking candids of me while I was taking photos of her LOL. I'm wearing Chuck II Mono in Parchment White!

Now I wouldn't actually wear white on a normal day but once they gave me this pair, I changed my mind. I usually would wear black and because they got me this, I said "Hey! It actually looks good on me!" complete with a happy grin. This is part of the Chuck II Mono collection and is available in Parchment White (which I have) and the other is black. I suggest you get the white one as it gives you more flair, like canvass, you can also probably have this customized if you have artist friends who can doodle or draw. Although, I prefer it as it is.

Style wise, you still see the iconic design you see in every Chuck Taylor shoe, however, it's something inside that actually matters. I'm sure you've heard of Lunarlon right? It's that neon green colored insole cushioning which they have developed with a padded non-slip tongue and super soft micro-suede lining. If you're under the impression that Converse is a little uncomfortable in the sole, you must try it with the Lunarlon and you'll definitely change the way you look at Chucks! A pair costs Php 3,990.00.

Here's some highlights from the event on video. Enjoy!

There are more shoes and models in the pipeline, we've actually seen some of them and if you're excited, they'll come out in the first half of the year! I'm so excited for one of them but I've got to keep that a secret. I'll tell you about it when it comes out of the market!

Joyce Ching Celebrates Birthday in Orphanage

It's been a while since we've seen the beautiful Joyce Ching. She just celebrated her birthday with kids from Holy Trinity Home for Children, a shelter for kids without a home or family. They teach them catechism, good manners and send them to school. 

Joyce is currently part of the new love series Because of You which stars Gabby Concepcion and Carla Abellana. She portrays the role of Cheska Salcedo, the daughter of Jaime Salcedo played by Gabby. She's probably going to have a play in the relationship because it'll be difficult to pursue something if there are kids involved. It's fun actually, not too heavy. It's more romantic, more kilig, and it just is more conflicting because they probably love each other, but there are times when Jaime just had to leave for family matters. This is where Andrea feels so left out, as she first was left hanging in the mountains where they first got to tell each other how they feel.

Anyway, Joyce was so happy during this celebration because she got to spend time with kids. During our small interview, we asked Joyce a few questions about the show. Here's a short video:

Joyce isn't entertaining suitors as of the moment but realizes she has fixed a lot of things in her life after her previous relationship. She has matured a lot and is focusing on her studies and career. She's planning to finish her studies as she's taking up film in Mint College. She's eager to actually be behind the camera in the coming months, and perhaps make a few documentaries based on the scripts she also made. She's also happy that her fans were in the event supporting her, they personally packed everything that they gave away to the kids. She's been very blessed, and hopes she would continue to have more projects after the current series she's in.

She also told us that during the cake blowing, she wished for the kids to have successful careers, make their dreams come true. Isn't that selfless? It's one of the reasons I love her, she's down to earth, and very humble. Happy birthday dear!

Are You A World Class DOTA Player? Prove it!

If you're a full blood DOTA 2 player who trash talks everyone else while playing the game inside the confines of your home or the Computer shop, then there's a place where you can put your trash talk where your mouth is. You see, ESL One is coming to the country and they've partnered with the best people in the industry like SMART, PLDT Home Fibr, TV5 and GAMEX to bring you a one of a kind chance to win $250,000 cold cash. Isn't that amazing?

If you're from Mindanao and nearby provinces, come to the IMBA CDO Mindanao qualifier on January 24, 2016. Winners on this leg will have the chance to go to Manila for the finals on April 23-24 at the Mall of Asia Arena in Pasay City. You'll be on a world stage after that as the winner would probably represent the country because it is handled by ESL One. This is being done for the first time in Southeast Asia and is dubbed as the first Premium DOTA 2 tournament in the region. Now is the time to prove it if you're the greatest player in the land! Check out Smart's page here for more information.
