Education for Parents: Who is to blame for your child’s Failure?
Who is to blame for your child’s Failure? (postponed end of June) We send our children to the best schools we can afford to give them the brightest possible future. But when a child struggles academically or socially, many schools automatically, as a matter of policy, attribute the poor performance to defects in that student’s intellect, study skills, upbringing or family life. To be sure,...

Read MoreFlowers Express: May is for Mothers
Just because there’s only one day for mothers doesn’t mean that you can only show your love and gratitude to your mom once a year. I think spoiling your mom silly doesn’t have to happen on mother’s day; you can buy her presents any time of the year without some holiday telling you to do so. I like that Flowers Express, an all occasion no occasion flower delivery...
Read MoreIkea Furniture in the Philippines
I love Ikea furniture for their clean, sleek designs and their very reasonable prices. I went nuts looking at the displays at the Ikea store in Singapore and would have bought a whole lot of them if it weren’t a total hassle to bring them back all the way here. Only recently did I discover that Ikea finally made their way to the Philippines and that you can find a whole range of their...

Read MoreNaked Sun, A Filipino Swimwear Label
Naked Sun has been “out” informally since April. Here’s why Naked Sun happened and how different they are from other local swimwear brands: As with most things and brands, Naked Sun began by being avid users of the product: swimwear. The owners of Naked Sun are a beach-loving bunch and one day, while having a sundown cocktail by the beach, the discussion went this way:...
Read MoreDavid & Goliath’s Little Losers Take Revenge
“I’m with Stupid.” If you’re still wearing the t-shirt, then maybe the message is misdirected, because if it weren’t obvious by now, witless, crewneck clichés are a tired concept. In its place comes a reliably wry and humorous path to self-expression that’s so horribly ironic, it can’t be described as anything but cool. Introducing the Little Losers. Often clever, sometimes...
Read MoreDavid & Goliath’s Little Losers
Who are the Little Losers? • Little Losers are a collection of graphic misfits that pay tribute to character stereotypes, which still stay true to David & Goliath’s acerbic sense of humor. • The line was created after the creator, Todd Goldman, jokingly referred to a friend as Mr. Douchebag (who incidentally, is now part of his Little Losers collection) • The collection features 57...

Read MoreMake Your Own Havaianas 2008
This year’s Make Your Own Havaianas Event is bigger and better than the last two. As early as 9 am, a huge crowd of Havaianas fans and collectors were already lining up outside the Rockwell tent. The designs that you can buy at the store are already gorgeous on their own, but there’s nothing quite like personalizing your items that can make you feel that it’s really...
