Louis Vuitton's tribute to Christopher Nemeth
I was probably 20 years old when I met Christopher Nemeth at his first shop in Tokyo called Sector.
It was the late ’80s. He apologized for having a bad cold as he sneezed into a tissue.
I remember being overwhelmed by the unpolished store and the Japanese kids that trickled in.
I bought John Moore shoes, a Judy Blame hat, a John Galliano dress, and ( Read more... ) -
New store openings: What's coming in 2015
“All these new store openings are slowly removing the thrill of traveling,” my friend Ginggay noted.
“Wala pang Ikea,” I said.
“Ikea would be the game changer,” Ginggay said.
“We would no longer be third world,” I said.
While waiting for Ikea to come here, here are ten stores you can look forward to in 2015:
1) Ladurée

The waiting game: an exercise in regret
Sorry to lay this on you, but I’ve been feeling bad ever since the Pope left the country.
Not because I miss him but because I had a horrible time waiting for him outside Villamor Airbase.
Obviously it is not the Pope’s fault. I have only myself to blame because I went there on my own free will.
When I heard the Pope was coming to Manila, I wished ( Read more... ) -
Top 6 hot men during Pope Francis visit
Bless me Father for I have sinned….
Sorry but my eyes can’t help it. I’ve been spotting good looking men throughout the papal visit.
My friend Grace and I have been talking about it, causing Teddyboy Locsin to tell us to shush on Twitter.

Dying of envy: Pope Francis visits Malacañan
I lost track of time last night while watching Real Housewives of Beverly Hills and playing Candy Crush Soda (I’m a multi-tasker). When I checked, it was already 4:23 AM. Time to sleep.
I woke up at 9:15 AM just in time to watch Pope Francis en route to Malacañan for a courtesy visit.
I have never been to Malacañan and it looked so retro beautiful ( Read more... ) -
Pope Francis arrives to a painless, smooth reception in Manila
Even though foreigners think we’re crazy (so I’ve heard), I think it’s great that President Aquino gave us non-working holidays to enjoy Pope Francis’ five-day visit to the Philippines.
I woke up to a household of boys destroying my bedroom until (thank God) Markus decided they would swim at the condo and eat at Pepper Lunch. Peace & quiet.

A stalker's guide to Pope Francis visit to the Philippines
In 1995 I was one of one million people that went to Luneta to see Pope John Paul II in person.
I was 20 years younger and had the energy to get up early in the morning, trek there, and have a view of the Pope the size a rice grain. That small.
It was also around this time of month and the weather was cool-that was a great comfort to the masses.
