Time Master Poseidon Collection Launch

Saturday, May 13, 2017




I had an epiphany last night when I watched the launch of Time Master, a brand that Brian Daniel Poe Llamanzares did at posh Prive in BGC. You see, I'm not alone in this world who think Millenials actually lack a lot of things, but Brian is totally different. I think upbringing has a lot to do with it. I shook hands with him, small talk, but felt how passion has fueled this inalienable gusto for time pieces.

He distinctly remembers how his Father (who was also there by the way even if he doesn't go public that much) always had him appreciate how good a watch could be by generously giving him one every time he accomplishes a milestone, life goals and how he felt so reassured of his love and care. It got him to feel the timeless pieces boost his confidence, allow him to harness that energy and make it into positive things, he'd like to convey that as well in these collections.


They brought out the Time Master Poseidon Collection. It's a series of watches that could endure 100 meters depth, make you feel godly if there's an opportunity. The design is bespoke, could be worn in a casual garment, or a suit for formal occasions. It also had that Trident Neptune would have in all his scenes, and that en-vibes power.


Brian is blessed, he had his whole family back him up during the launch. If you look closely, there's his father, the Queen of Philippine Cinema Susan Roces also flanked by Senator Grace Poe, premier actress Lovi Poe and the rest of their family. 


I saw some pieces like the Time Master Metal Ore with steel as main material, leather straps, and a couple with a very nautical theme. The models carried them well, accented their plain clothing and made it upscale by wearing the watches he's got at Time Master. I would really mistake this to be an existing international brand already if I didn't know it was just being launched today. That's the plan, and when I heard that I was equally excited for him.


Bryan says "Its about having a story behind a watch, it's designed to be passed on from generation to generation. One that you could take to adventures, one that you could make memories with. It was common sense to name his brand after a mythical beach. The hour glass has a trident on it. It's the Poseidon collection. "


He adds "As all of you know it's been a year from campaigns and this watch was a way to move forward, a passion project and to compete internationally? I'm left speechless. Tonight is not about me, it's about the people that made this possible. Thanks to my Dad who is here too. He used to give me a watch whenever I did something great, now I'm giving the first ever series 000 to my Dad. To everyone that came, even my friends that came from the provinces, thank you so much!"


Best of all, he's got a CSR arm already involved. Part of the proceeds of the sale of these time pieces will actually go to MovED, a reputable organization involved in early child education. It's well thought out and it goes to a cause he also cares about, that tells a lot. I don't want to say he's perfect, but he's quite close. A good man, a millenial who does more than the usual and uses that voice to do more for the future of these kids. 

Time Master is going to be a worldwide brand - and if you're not ready, you better be. It's coming to retail stores very soon but for now, you may visit Facebook.com/TimeMasterOfficial of you want to order one for yourself, or that person in your life that needs an extra boost of confidence.

New Restaurant: Isaribi in Tomas Morato



Nestled right at the back of Zirkoh in Tomas Morato along Scout Lozano in Quezon City is this new Japanese-Neo Oriental Yakiniku place called ISARIBI. It means Fishing Fire (a fire used to lure fish at night), a masterpiece from ancient Ichigenkin music which was drawn from the poems made by Kakinomoto Hitomaro. It reflects the Japanese life during the 7th and 8th century when fishing was life, it kept them all inspired and entertained I guess.


They already have 5 branches in Japan and they are planning to open 2 more soon. In the Philippines they already have one in BGC and Makati, and while it was a hit Japanese shop in the former, they had Korean and Yakiniku lovers in BGC so this new one is in Quezon City had the best of both worlds. The branch is actually different as they will mix in Yakiniku and Korean to the menu. They source almost everything in Japan and have suppliers that shipped regularly. Though imported, they managed to keep the prices low (surprisingly). Japanese Chef Misayuki Sato prepared their specials and let us try the lovely food. Take a look at this!


Japanese Sazae Shells, Oysters, Scallops had us drooling when they grilled it on the smokeless contraption in the center. They also used their home made Wari Shoyu which they ferment themselves, a thing that other restaurants probably don't do.


Salads are festive, I am impressed by their spread because they meticulously prepare each item. 


The SASHIMI is out of this world, they also use premium Kikkoman just for it. They have huge servings made in boats with smoke, it was something they do in Japan so they're bringing it in!


I also love the Makis, but make sure you use their house soy sauce because it's better than the store bought ones.


If you're not doing anything this weekend or looking for a Mothers Day venue, I would suggest you go to Tomas Morato corner Scout Lozano and check out Isaribi Japanese Restaurant because it's so darn good, and way affordable compared to premium Japanese restaurants in the area.

Vivo About To Reveal Addition to the Perfect Selfie V5 Line


You can capture those perfect selfies with the newest Vivo phone. It'll be launched soon!
I guess you can say Filipinos have already perfected the art of taking the perfect selfie. Although they know the basics of getting the perfect angle, the background, the smile, the moment, you can say these are just elements to take post-worthy selfies, but not entirely. I'm telling you, it's not as easy as it looks. It's the same reason that people are looking for smartphones that are equipped with those selfie features, because most often than not, they are still not satisfied with the current ones they have in the market. Smartphone manufacturers have done thorough research in making that perfect selfie phone, making each one equipped with hardware capable of high resolution photos even in front cameras just so you could look good, feel good and get that good looking face online without any hitches.

Top 5 Global brand VIVO has been doing this in the last few years, and it looks like they are not stopping. You know they've already released the perfect selfie V5 phones like the V5, V5 Plus and V5 lite. They're adding a rumored 20 megapixel capable front camera phone, so you could take those perfect selfies up a notch this May. Not only that, they are talking about updated selfie softlights so those poor light conditions can go away whenever you want to play. Add to that a 13 megapixel rear camera that can capture beautiful landscapes, take photos of your friends, without worrying your selfies are even better. It even has an ultra-high definition mode capable of doing 52 megapixel photos, are you drooling?

I heard the full details of this phone will be released during the big reveal, oh I can't wait! Make sure you check out www.vivo.com/ph and their Facebook page https://www.facebook.com/VivoPhil. You can also follow them on Instagram @vivophil and Twitter @vivo_phil if you haven't yet!
