WALK THAT WALK: Singapore Art Museum Collection

Some snaps from our recent visit to Singapore Art Museum where "Future Proof" and "Chimera" are currently being shown. If you love contemporary art and find yourself in Singapore, you owe it to yourself to visit. We were there for about three hours and every minute was just astonishing.

The Crystal City (made of flasks and bottles)

 The hippest, most colorful tornado of all time.

                    Eerie interlockings of tentacles. Not for me, but art is art.

YVANISM: Birthday Gift Gone Early (Sperry Top-Sider x Jeffrey NY Boaties)

Cho is the best. No going around it, cho’s simply the sweetest, especially with surprises. If you recall, I raved about these Jeffrey NY boaties weeks ago. We came across the very same pair while going around and I pointed it out. Next day, when I left for an early event, guess what I came home to? Go ahead, guess! Yup, it was an advanced birthday gift that's proof yet again of cho’s best-ever status. Truth be told, if it weren't for Face Time with cho everyday, I'd go home in a heartbeat! 

After a hard day's work, going home to this capped the day off well. 

Love the fact that such a preppy item can also carry 

a lot of street swag

About a year ago, Pharrell Williams declared that boat shoes were over. To his point, it was the exact same time when everyone and their mama started sporting 'em, shooting up demand and forcing most every brand to make their own uninspired versions. The mass acceptance actually hit me so hard that I stopped wearing my beloved white shoes altogether.

I'm usually wary of suede shoes, but this was a no-brainer!

Well, during our recent business trip to Hong Kong, I also spotted ‘tis Sperry’s at Lane Crawford. It was the lone item on the rack. Hah! Green all over, tasty suede on the upper, barrel-tied laces making for slip-on wearing - these were absolutely perfect! If Pharrell thought that boat shoes were dead, then this, my friends, is a damn resurrection!

Here they are in action at Power Plant Mall, Makati. :)

WALK THAT WALK: The Alocoholic Lemonade

There is no question that I am a sucker for bottomless drinks. Well, alcoholic drinks that is. And this post is dedicated to the bottomless mojito T.G.I. Friday's is offering. I actually tried their bottomless mojito 2 years ago. (I think). But I thought it was for a limited time only, so I never really went back for drinks again. 

I've never really been a fan of mojitos... Personally, I'd go for margaritas than mojitos. I just find the mixture of mint and lime too much for me to drink. Well I guess one drink wouldn't be so bad. But since it's bottomless, I feel like after 4 glasses, I can't drink another one anymore. So now every time I get a mojito, I ask the waiter to lessen the lime and to not put mint anymore. And I can now finally get to enjoy drinking mojitos. But the thing is, it doesn't taste like a mojito drink anymore! Haha! It actually tastes like vodka mixed with a little tequila, splashed with lime and grenadine. Or as I like to call it, THE alcoholic lemonade! Haha. But for 3oo pesos, I wouldn't really complain anymore. It's already cheap for a bottomless (alcoholic) drink. Fridays, I'll visit you again.
