Cats in the house (at Princess of Coron)

Undesirable No. 1?

You think these poor kitty cats are locked up in some cage?

You think these cats are wallowing in misery, like this solitary one?

These are some of the cats at Princess of Coron, where we stayed for the first two nights of our Palawan vacation almost two weeks ago now. There's nothing to fret, though, as this lodge is definitely very animal-friendly. They've got three big dogs, a couple of birds, and yes, the cats.

See that blue-eyed cutie above? He's just one of seven cats living happily together in a huge cattery. It's just what I (and My Bibe) wanted to have when we get rich. This one had several mini-houses, logs and branches for climbing, couches, chairs, toys, a drinking station like you see below (plus a mini pool where they also drink), and everything conceivable that a cat might enjoy. It's not like some small cage but it's really, really huge.

We were headed out to find a place where we could eat when we saw the cats. Even when I was already famished, I didn't mind because they were just so adorable. There are affectionate ones, and of course there are also less affectionate felines. There were snobs and there was one that reminded us so much of Foreman, with his feisty attitude and tenacity in reaching for a dead leaf just outside the cattery. He's the cat from the very first photo.

If you want to see more of these cats and just how big this cattery really is, you can check out My Bibe's post here. Enjoy!

And by the way, we were also delighted to have met a number of cats at Maquinit Hot Springs!

LOOKBOOK | Barong Tagalog and sneakers for 'Buwan ng Wika'

Image
Looking oh, so dignified here. Although the celebrations are normally concentrated in elementary schools, August is Buwan ng Wika (Language Month) in the Philippines. Along with dressing up in various traditional Filipino costumes, schools usually hold programs and contests showcasing the national language and traditional Filipino songs and dances. Our department decided to join in the fun by designating a special day yesterday where everyone was required to wear a traditional Filipino costume reinterpreted for modern times. Two years ago when we first held this event, I found myself wearing an ethnic-designed shirt with a malong . This year I decided on a Barong Tagalog , considered our national formal wear for men. But no one wants to go all formal on a Friday, so I wore my Barong Tagalog with sneakers . I thought, if a full-on suit works just fine with sneakers, a barong would be just as perfect with this type of footwear.

FRAGRANCE | Green Cedar EDT by Bench: An environmentally-conscious offering from the Philippines' premier retail brand

Image
A few weeks ago, I found myself wandering inside Bench Powerplant Mall. And what else would catch my eye but two fragrances by their lonesome twosome, positioned far away from the rest of the brand's scent offerings. They're Basil & Neroli and Green Cedar , both EDTs and part of the  Bench Better Made line . The frags are purported to be vegan and cruelty-free. They come in 125ml dark brown glass bottles and brown paper cylindrical boxes. Nice packaging there except for the cheap, plastic cap. No big deal, though, since they're just Php 428 apiece.

FRAGRANCE | Rajo Uno EDT by Bench: An inexpensive local gem

Image
Philippine retail giant Bench has been many a high schooler's go-to shop for cheap colognes, myself included. And even during my college years, Bench has remained a staple. I remember  Bench Ei8ht was very popular with many people back then although my favorites were their body sprays Cielo and L'Amoureux . Through the years their roster of fragrances has only grown by leaps and bounds, with a lot of them made in collaboration with celebrities and fashion designers like Rajo Laurel .
