All my love,
-s.
- The way Kendrick Lamar’s voice breaks in his verse on “His Pain” - a track by BJ the Chicago Kid. “I don’t know why you keep blessing me…”
- The smell of tinola cooking in my kitchen.
- How many major brands are taking interest in our Platform event.
- The love note my 6 year old daughter just gave me (and how she’s unflinching in her desire to come watch a J.Dilla tribute documentary showing with me while her Dad plays basketball tonight).
- My brother’s unhindered genius in words and music.
- The work that has been flowing in and making quality of life just…superb.
- That I woke up this morning.
- That my “Stay Gold” tattoo is permanent.
- The amazing things I’m able to do for Philippine fashion and independent designers in the next few weeks with both Platform and The Postura Project.
- For the burn in my triceps and thighs after a painful first visit to my trainer in 3 years.
- Everyone that takes the time to tell me little things that moved them, or that they appreciated, on Tumblr, on Twitter, in person - even though they know I’m weird and shy about replying or taking compliments like that.
- That my eyes are green, my skin is brown, and my hair is black.
- Assistance, in the form of assistants, and team mates, and friends, and family.
- My iPhone. No joke.
- Skin Science offering to be my dermatologist sponsor, and Alex Carbonell at Studio Fix finally coming back into the picture to take care of my hair.
- The Fernando sisters - listeners of our radio show that turned into two of the biggest supporters I’ve ever known. Regular box deliveries of homemade pandesal and cupcakes, banana chips, pastillas…you name it. Texts and DMs that you were remembered at Mass. So consistent.
- MY SQUAD. Teamwork makes the dream work, and I think I’ve finally found my magic links for the chain I need to haul this vision into reality. #TheBridge
- Sago’t Gulaman. Yun lang.
- And this amazing art installation by Claire Morgan:
-s.
“Now I know why He keeps blessing me…
…so I can bless you.”
- Kendrick Lamar
June Marieezy ft. RBTO with “Sometimes”.
Making music. #itsmorefuninthephilippines
Pulled this link from a Philippine Airlines Tweet, of all things, and was surprised to find our city nightlife options quite comprehensively represented.
Save this somewhere, for a future trip, an e-mail to an overseas friend, for you or a friend’s moonlit tour of Manila’s best.

Last night, we launched our book in Manila. Tonight, we’re in Cebu. This coming week, I’ll be tucked away on a mountain somewhere with my girls and mentor giving thanks and reflecting.
After, I’ll tell you what it was like.
Humbled,

Smiling. What I love most about being part of this little lady’s journey is witnessing the process of progress. Especially the 3:47am e-mails of edits she wrote, vocalized, and mixed herself.
2012 is going to be so soulworthy for you, my BG. Stand up straight, arch your back, and unfold those wings!

Because we haven’t shown any kind of preview of the stuff we’ve been working on for a while! Expect a track of “Lost” by RBTO and Gap from People’s Future featuring June Marieezy soon!
So, I think this is a good sign that Miro, Kristian, and Banj should work together more often.

December 7, 2011 || 7th High, Fort Bonifacio
Tickets available at MCafe, Greenbelt and 7th High, Fort Bonifacio. (Pre-selling at P500. To not buy is utter ignorance.)
This opening presentation video for TEDxAustin is super fresh.
So inspired to keep pushing creative boundaries here in Manila. To somehow acclimate the entire Philippine population to expect, enjoy, and even demand less literal images, concepts, and messages in media and advertising.
All part of our “little” husband-and-wife quest to redefine the Filipino dream. Borrowing from the NCCA’s mission, and really committing and believing that we can take the next step: to evolve this homeland of ours from a nation of servants to a nation of creatives.

I can’t wait for tomorrow’s art exhibit. Manila is in for a treat.
Open to the public too: join us! Plaza San Luis, Intramuros. 6pm.
Work in progress
I highly recommend this event.
I’m on a reblog/retweet rampage telling my friends. You do the same, and we’ll see you there?

I downloaded some fonts and decided to test it over some old pictures of Manila I got from here. Lets go retro!
Gujab Renan!
