  • Red Garlic Bistro Cafe!

    I go to restaurants and establishments and taste their signature dishes. It actually makes sense to do that because you'll know why they became famous. It's a benchmark of their success. You'll end a meal understanding the whole purpose of their existence.

  • Philippine Fashion Week 2011

    I'd like to show you the collection from the premier brands Human, Kashieca and Bench (yes they did it all in one night) from last Sunday (First day of Philippine Fashion Week). It was one gorgeous stage; we all thought it was going to be plain and classic but I was shocked right from the get go.

  • Mario Maurer in Manila!

    Girls and gays can't resist him... guys envy him. He's got the body of a god and the looks of an angel. He's Mario Maurer, the German-Thai Chinese actor and model who will soon hit the shores of our beloved Philippines.

    It's that posh upper east side looking/European pegged, relaxed, dark, street wear brand known the world over that we saw last week in SM Mall of Asia.It was street wear, urban, dark, nostalgic but very very apt for women who goes for shades of gray/black. This brand is TERRANOVA®

  • REPRESENT! VOTE RED NOW!

    America voted for the Green M&M's (Why would you vote for something just because it's voted by the Americans right?! STOP COLONIAL MENTALITY!), New Zealand voted for the Blue one (Same thing! Need I say it again?!)...

  • 10: Edgar Allan

    Let's do my backlog for Philippine Fashion Week again but this time, I'll tell you something about Edgar Allan's collection this time but just be slightly open. No, don't unbutton anything... just be open about criticisms. I'm not a fashion expert by diploma but I've got a pretty lengthy experience in looking at what's in or not in the UK, France and New York. With that said let's take a look at his collection. Shall we begin?

As grand as the stage at the Mall of Asia Atrium, it was hightime that Bench comes out with a new offering this Summer. This marks a launch of a scent that defines one of BENCH ™ endorsers; Mr. Dingdong Dantes. If you feel the greatness, if you feel strong and invincible only one word comes into mind; and that ladies and gentlemen is... EMPOWER.

Celebrating BENCH's 25th year and the launch of Dingdong Dantes' signature deo cologne for men, its the man's turn to make things a little sexier at any given situation.

Presidential Sweetheart Ms. Grace Lee also hosted the event!

Today, I had a blast seeing the throng of people I usually meet at the Philippine Fashion Weeks front row; let alone the executives of the brand. I saw some of their endorsers too pitching support to Dingdong Dantes in this new DEO COLOGNE designed for him.


To open the show this was shown on the stage:

It was dark, strong and very masculine. It was depicted quite nicely right from the get go. It was complete with strong resounding music!

Of course since this is a man's fragrance we were treated to something even more depicting of getting this scent out in the open. Dingdong chose these woodsy - musky smell with top notes of bergamot and lemon together with middle notes of galbanum and clary sage. It presents a fresh cool scent that women would absolutely go crazy for. True enough Dingdong carries that scent well; the throng of fans would agree.

Then this HOT number opened the show!


I wasn't joking when I said it was HOT! :)




Together with the launch of this new scent, some models bared the summer collection from BENCH for 2012!




They've got this Cuban - Latin American - Hawaiian vibe going and I was quite impressed with some of the things they have on the rack. Can someone get me new jeans please?! =)





Different textures, different tops and jeans that's still thick and wearable. Stayed quite well with the earth tones. It looked manly but still relaxed.





Covered up but still hot, that's what this manly scent radiates every time you spray EMPOWER all over your body.


Still not convinced?! Well if you weren't sweating enough on the first part of the show... let Dingdong Dantes show you what it's like wearing nothing on top but just EMPOWER!




That just starts a whole lotta different show!

For those asking for more, here's the piece de resistance!







Then he came out, and all hell breaks loose with the crowd!


Then here's the finale!
WARNING: Oh girls, please wipe your mouth because you are going to start drooling again!














And isn't that truly EMPOWERing?!

Made for the modern man who wants to harness power, hold it in his hands and show the world who he is... and what he believes in. That is EMPOWER by Dingdong Dantes.

Sighted also in the show were BENCH Executives and supporters of Dong!
