#THROWBACK: Thing + Things of 2000's kids

Let's face it, we didn't really lived during the 90's (but were 90's babies though)- I'm talking about the teens whose born from 1995-2000. Though we came from the same melllenial, still we lived our pre-teen/ teenage lives during the early 2010's. I enlisted below the things & stuffs that we owned, did, do, during the good-ol days of 2000's. (and early 2010's)

1. Friendster
Before Facebook, Twitter, & Instagram dominated the world, before there is a Friendster. Hulaan ko background nyo? :) glittery or emotional skulls. Haha!

2. Reblogging on Tumblr
Some of them were Pizzas, Burger, Books, Eiffel Tower, Mustaches, Nutella, "Month" Please be good to me, and the most popular of all.. colorful French Macaroons.

Listen: Grunge music

Bands like The Smiths, The Shins, The Psychedelic Fur, Lifehouse.

Watch: Indie flicks

Instead of watching Animes and Vampire Diaries, why don't you take a brake from the TV series and give these films a shot. They can be boring and sleepy because of it's cinematography (Hello, kaya nga indie film eh) but I promise you will definitely love this movie genre after you watch these films.

 

Read: Scout Magazine

Clean: Your thing + things

I've been cleaning my room since the day the rain hasn't stop pouring. I really like to clean my stuffs during cold weather (even at midnight) cause it's less distracting and it's less sticky if ever you perform acrobatic stunts just to get rid of that dust under your bed.

Toy Gun, Camera, Boots, and Barbies.

Draw: & sketch

Bring your inner artsy self during this rainy season.

That is a Banana split, not a crotch you perv.

Eat: seafood ramen for the teenage soul

いただきます!!! (Itadakimasu/ Let's eat!)

Sleep: Zzzzzzzzz....

#Throwback circa 2013

Late night chimera

One cold night of June, while sipping a cherry Dr. Pepper soda, I found myself watching 'Sex and the City' reruns every night in front of the TV at Star World.

I really love 'Sex and the City' with it's funny antics and glamorous lifestyle, plus Carrie is a columnist-no wonder I fell in love with the show. That's why I cried when I heard that The CW canceled one of my favorite show; The Carrie Diaries which is the life of  Carrie Bradshaw (Sarah Jessica Parker) herself when she's living her teen life in the 80's.

In the show (The Carrie Diaries), Carrie deals with lots of youth problems just like sex, love, friends, and dreams. She also struggles to be an intern at Interview Magazine. I was always fascinated about stories of people reaching their dreams that's why I found the series interesting. In my case, I just compared myself to Carrie because were both writers (Blogger lang po ako, novice pa. Haha!) and the fact that we always dream about one of the city that never sleeps; New York. Okay, drop New York, minus the 'sex' also 'love' plus our 'passion' Hahaha!. Maybe right now I could only step to those Makati Business District pavements doing errands or watch the Ortigas Skyline while carpooling on my cousin's car but maybe someday, who knows, that this kid from the suburbs sipping cherry colas while fighting writer's block and subway rides is the next Bradshaw. *wink*

ALL THE RAGE: Pumped-up kicks to flaunt this 2015

Touchstone Pictures. Confessions of a Shopaholic (2009)

Marilyn Monroe once said "Give a girl the right shoes and she can conquer the world". I bet Marilyn was talking about designer shoes like Valentino, Manolo, or Jimmy Choos. But this post wasn't about High-ends, After all, the world is not New York (to flaunt those shoes). Entering street fashion, having a subcultural sense of style is a must. Well, If I were given to rephrase that qoutation, I must say "Give a young man the right kicks and he'll got a lot of swag." So to revamp your closet details this 2015, these kicks will surely get a tons of likes on Instagram.

1. Adidas Superstar/Supercolor
Forget about Nike Roshe Run because these colorful kicks are so on fleek! I've seen lots of celebrities rocking these shoes including my favorite blogger & raker Saab Magalona-Bacaro.

2. Saucony
I've never heard of this shoe brand before but I'm seeing famous people endorsing this brand like Joyce Pring of Magic 89.9 and a lot of sports enthusiasts here in the Metro.

Saucony Jazz in Camouflage is kinda cool though

3. Superga
What is so super about Superga? Honestly, I don't know. Hahaha! (Grabe non-sense) this just bombarded the Philippines last month. Just like Saucony, a lot of Celebrities and bloggers rin were endorsing this brand from Italy. Why don't we just give Superga a shot? Check out Superga store in Bluebay Walk, Greenbelt 5, and Rustan's store.

Maybe what's super in Superga is that Alexa Chung endorses it.


4. Onitsuka Tiger
This Japanese shoe brand is to-die-for. If you're living here in Metro Manila and you see a person wearing these bad boy, I'm definitely sure he/she is a kicks connoisseur.

5. New Balance (574)
New Balance is back! Their 574 collections were really on fleek, these are perfect if you're pulling a Normcore fashion. Here's some of the 574's that I like.
