The Metro Pod is best for smaller spaces and for those who want to live, work, relax, and dine in surroundings that mirror city life while taking advantage of whatever space is available.

Filed under Home Furniture, Press Release, Shopping | Comment (1)Indo Board Brings Surfing Indoors
I’ve always wanted to learn surfing but my first hurdle is to have balance. What I didn’t know is one can actually learn “how to balance” inside one own’s home.
On those days when the surf is a little flat, here’s a useful piece of surfing-wisdom: your garage, living room, maybe even your bedroom floor, will do.
Sure, nothing beats the experience of the water on your fingertips as you graze the surface of a glassy wave, but the thrill of surfing is hardly lost on an Indo Board either.
More than being a surfing-simulator, the specially shaped oval board balanced on a long roller—simple as it looks—offers the kind of high-intensity surf experience that preps your body to handle the ever changing demands of the ocean.
Created by a fellow surfer, the Indo Board was developed by Hunter Joslin, whose 40-year expertise in the sport translated into a tool that was originally intended to help surfers train out of the water.

Filed under Press Release, Shopping, Sports & Fitness | Comment (0)Collezione C2’s My Pilipinas Series by Rhett Eala
The “My Pilipinas The Series: Art Meets Fashion, by Rhett Eala” Exhibit will end until June 14 so you still have a chance to view the artwork and clothes design. The exhibit is at CAV RESTAURANT at the Bonifacio High Street, Taguig. Enter through the Spa entrance.
When I told my daughter Marielle that I was attending a Collezione event, she was like “Isn’t Collezione a low-end brand?” No, dear. In fact we wore Collezione in College. We loved the brand. So when I went to the Launch of My Pilipinas The Series: Art Meets Fashion, by Rhett Eala at CAV Restaurant in Bonifacio High Street, I never imagined that something like our Philippine map would look so attractive on a shirt. In fact, I never felt so proud to be a Filipino. I marvel at the creativity of the artist, Rhett Eala.
Let me share to you the genius behind the My Pilipinas Series concept. I salute the artist behind this novel idea especially since today is Independence Day. What a meaningful way to honor our country!
Rhett Eala, a renowned fashion designer with hit runway shows here and abroad, turned the Philippine map into an iconic fashion symbol through Collezione C2’s My Pilipinas the Series. This new line of clothing is part of Collezione C2’s effort to promote Filipino talent, artistry, and most of all - nationalism. I like that the brand decided to take this route. Fashion is one of the most viral forms of non-verbal communication and will definitely reach a wider audience than the written word. According to Joey Qua, President of Collezione C2, they intend to go past the notion that nationalism is an outdated concept or that heroes can only be patriotic. Art and fashion, he says, are a means by which the Nationalist story can be made more real and accessible to this generation. Not to mention that the designs from My Pilipinas are very colorful and hip, conforming to the popular “indie” trend that’s all the rage among teens and young adults.
