What’s good about it is that it accentuates your waist. This is particularly good if you want people (especially the girls) to notice your belt, your jeans as well as your flat stomach. The trick is to tuck-in the front part of your shirt a bit to show off the belt.

Just for the record, the waiters at Max’s restaurant are very lucky! They happen to have a very stylish and trendy uniform. Just take a look at their red belt, their polo and their jeans. Too cool to be a uniform huh?

Elegance, indeed. You see, I recently learned that the folks from Sebago are launching limited editions of shoes quarterly. And when they say “limited”, they really mean it. As a matter of fact, only 24 pairs of these shoes exist per store across the 3 dashing styles. Click on each photo below to zoom.

So what’s the big deal with limited edition, you ask. It is the fact that you will rarely see another person wearing exactly the same pair of shoes. And if you are a trendsetter and a style-hunter, grabbing limited edition products should be your mission.

The big question is how much is a pair? Well, they are not cheap. This elite shoe costs Php 7,990 and are available only while stocks last at Sebago SM Mall of Asia and Hideout at Greenbelt 5.

Just an added FYI. This new limited collection from Sebago are actually modern boat shoes – shoes that are typically worn by sailors which can repel water. But through the years, it has become a fashionable footwear for men. It became a trend years back and we are seeing its return once again. I’d be excited to wear a shoe like this at the office, casual occasions and even on dates.

Their clothes are definitely for modern guys who love that “porma” look. Most of their styles are really extraordinary and unique. You will find it hard to find similar styles in other shops.

I didn’t have any intentions to buy clothes at that time because as I mentioned, I was there to buy a book and not clothes. But still, I ended up buying a short sleeve stylish dress shirt below which was on sale. It originally costs 1,699 Pesos but they sold it to me for only 999 Pesos.

It looks better in actual and when wearing it than the pictures above – I’m just not so good in photography. Pairing it with khakis or beige slacks is perfection! It also goes well with jeans.

And speaking of Philosophy, they only have two branches. One, as I mentioned, is at Bonifacio High Street (The Fort, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig) and the other is at SM Mall of Asia (Pasay City).

Now here’s the catch. Before my friend and I left, I looked around to see if I could buy anything else. To my surprise, I saw shirts which appear to be “for women”.

I asked them: “Isn’t this a men’s shop? Why are you selling shirts which look like uhm…”

My friend interrupted: “A blouse?”

The sales clerk answered: “Yeah it is a men’s shop.”

Me: “Then why do you have men’s clothes in that section where I bought my polo shirt and women’s clothes over here at the back of your store?”

Sales clerk: “The clothes here at the back are not for women. They are also for men. These shirts which look so flamboyant are for the metrosexuals and gays.”

Me: “So you sell clothes for straight men, metrosexuals and uhm, gays?”

Sales clerk: “Yeah, that’s our niche.”

Me: “WTF!”

My friend laughed out loud. And so did I.

Then I walked out of the shop with my new shirt feeling half the man I used to be.

So there, just a couple of weeks ago, it was like heaven-sent that I found a brand new apartment somewhere in Quezon City. It is a four-storey building that has several bachelor pad units for rent which are so new that you could still smell the fresh paint. The units really look nice and cozy and I prefer this to a condo because I don’t want to live in a building which looks and feels so much like an office, if you know what I’m saying.

Now it has been two weeks since my reservation and I’m still unsure whether to get it or not. I have been seriously thinking about it over and over, calculating my expenses here and there and seeing if it would really be beneficial for me. You see, I do not plan to live there 24/7. I will still go home to our house over the weekends.

The thing that is causing me dilemma are the expenses. Talking about the consequence of being independent right? After doing much analysis on the budget I found out that living in a bachelor pad will even cost me more even if it is nearer to my workplace. And the culprit for having more expenses? FOOD! I just couldn’t believe it! Adding the fact that I do not know how to cook at all makes it worse. I guess this is every guy’s problem when living independently.

But even if it is more expensive, I’m also thinking about the advantages it could do for me like more time to rest, more time for gym, more time to blog and attend events, more time to hangout with peers and best of all, more time and more girls to date. haha. Can you help me decide?

I received word from their marketing arm that Skechers, Zoo York and Ecko Unltd is on sale. So if you happen to be somewhere near Ortigas (Tektite Bldg, PSE Tower), head on to their sale. They are slashing prices up to 70% off. See details below:

And once you’ve been there, comment below and let me know what you think of their sale. I hope to drop by there too if I find time.
