Is there a mall open this Holy Week?

While half of the population of the country will be going on a long weekend getaway away from home, my family will be one of those who will spend the vacation in the pleasure of each other's company. I just hope my wife and son will enjoy the jokes and stories i compiled just in case the opportunity for me to talk comes.

And if in case, i can't do away the boredom from creeping into their senses, we can just go out maybe in the park, restaurant, or the mall. Mall? Is their any open mall this weekend?

Live Your Style with adidas NEO


What do Keanu Reeves, Digimon and a band from UK have in common?

Well, I don't want to waste your precious time thinking of the answer since this is not a quiz show so I'll tell you right here right now what the correct response is (which make me feel a little silly why I even bothered asking). It's Neo.

Neo is Keanu in The Matrix trilogy, is a character in Digimon Adventure and is a 70's post-punk trio from London. Apologies for the dose of useless trivia but it's really my personality. I love reading and I love sharing the things I learned. I just thanked God that i have a very patient wife who accommodates all the "according to's" and "based on's" monologues that I recite almost every day while waiting for her to serve meals on the dining table.

Funny but it seems that the series of facts that I bombarded her made cooking time faster than ever. It's either I'm inspiring her or she just want to finally have something stuck in my mouth so i'll stop talking.

I love history. I love facts. I love mysteries and Almanacs. Actually, some people told me that even if I don't talk they can still tell that I am fond of such things . No, it's not that I look like I came from an antique store. They say they can tell by my style.

Hmmm... really? Let me share one of my Instagram post where I'm wearing a shirt that makes people wanna look at my chest. It's not the hair ala-Fernando Jose or flexing chest ala-Carlos Agassi (Hey, if you don't know them, Google them up and consider them new discoveries in life). It's the facts that's written all over in front of me.


All statement shirts should be like this. I even had the one with the rubberized print of the Table of Elements on the front before which irked my Chemistry professor during our exam day. I told her that's not cheating, that's just my style. I thought I heard her whispered, "Style mo bulok."

Until now I am still fond of wearing shirts like these. Whether I am in tiangges or at the mall, I'll try to look for new cloth "that talks" to wear. This is how I live my style. Btw, neo is from the Greek word neos which mean new in case you don't know.

Talking about Neo, I should also mention that in is also the label of the latest collection from one of the trusted name in clothing and accessories worldwide. This is something I'd love to have because a  pair of these can speaks the style of the one wearing it.

Embrace fun, spontaneity and the unexpected twists in fashion when the Adidas NEO Label Spring 2013 collection hits stores in January to March.

Living a carefree journey that lets teens make their own style, NEO will capture attention with unique and innovative fashion and design twists on Spring merchandise. Products have multiple purposes or added value.

NEO will release a fresh product offering each month, spotlighting a fashion trend interpreted in a different way. In March patterns are the highlight, featuring vibrant waves of colour, with subtle patterns that appear to be one thing but on close inspection reveal another. These will include camouflage prints and edgy takes on adidas NEO slogans with a focus on windbreakers and shirts. Sporty, street and lifestyle footwear silhouettes with strong colour and graphic links create the look.

NEO footwear is available in SM and select Robinson’s Department Stores nationwide.
