Banana Republic x Roland Mouret Collection

Last 14th of August, Banana Republic has launched its new collection by fashion designer, Roland Mouret, at its recently renovated store in Greenbelt 5, Makati City.

 The short event was hosted by fashion bloggers, Camille Co and Lissa Kahayon. They also did a quick styling tutorial on turning a day/work outfit into an outfit perfect for a night out.

They also gave out free vouchers featuring 20% discount when one avails Php 8,000 or more worth of items. Our friend, Jen, bought 2 dresses worth Php 6,000 each but instead of paying Php 12,000, she only paid around Php 9,000+. They also awarded two best dressed women chosen by the fashion bloggers. 

I got to fit one of the dresses, and I had to choose a bigger size 'cause my size, 0, was already out of stock. I loved that Camille was very supportive of me trying on the same dress she's wearing. 

So I loved the wine and snacks from Bizu that were served to us. I liked the new collection 'cause they're very classy yet still wearable on a regular day. I also met new friends and had fun chatting with everyone.

Cosmopolitan Japanese

Love Japanese food?

Then you must try John&Yoko at Greenbelt 5.


Nice interior. Looks like a chill spot. Plus the waitresses look like Cosplayers hehe.


Yummy sushi. We ordered "Rock & Roll". It had crunchy shrimps inside.


Want some iced tea? You have three colors to choose from: Red, Green, and Blue. They're actually refillable!


Plus Japanese fried rice and Chicken Teppan.=)


Total bill: P900! Well, kinda expensive...but worth it.

where it all started

It's July 31, Friday...and right at this very moment, the last party night in Temple Bar is happening there in Greenbelt 2. Temple Bar will temporarily close for renovation...maybe to bring bigger and better parties soon. But for now, Cold Flame Entertainment is giving a thanksgiving party for those who never stopped supporting Temple Bar.


Indeed, it's where all the good parties started. I remember a few years back when I used go there every time my friend organizes an event, such that of the Motorola Razr2 Party, and other random parties with open bar. In fact, I remember Temple Bar as one of the favorite spots of celebrities and other elites. But eventually, due to a lot of new clubs and bars opening here in Manila, it's already hard to bring back the crowd that Temple Bar used to have. Actually, the last time I dropped by Temple Bar, I've found the crowd really different--younger (aka sooo high school), less popular (uhm do i know them?), and hmmm never mind. hahaha! Wait, I'm not being mean here ok? It's just that most of the people I used to see in Temple before are hanging out at bigger and newer clubs now.

But yeah, it used to be where crazy RnB parties are at. Should I say, the new clubs owe it to Temple? hahaha! Well, I think...Temple had its time....just like any other place, thing, or person. You see, not all celebrities are at the limelight all the time...I mean, even their popularity fades too.

Let's just wait after the renovation of Temple Bar. Maybe the new Temple Bar would be kickass enough to bring back its hot stuff crowd again. The long wait might be worth it. For now, let's just give Temple Bar a kickass closing party! Ooops, sorry but I won't be able to attend the party tonight (even if I'm one of the promoters), 'coz I've got some appointments early tomorrow. hehe.=P
