Halloween family portrait: Goldilocks and the three bears

So last Halloween I showed up to work as some kind of a fashionable bear, and I had a blast! But I was just one of three bears with a little kid named Goldilocks. Yup, this was our theme for Halloween with My Bibe and the cats. Presenting...Goldilocks and the Three Bears!

I was Papa Bear, My Bibe was Mama Bear, our fluffy white cat Kwittie Boy was Baby Bear, and our little black cat Foreman was Goldilocks. I kept telling him that he was the first black Goldilocks, that he should be proud.

Well, it wasn't easy at all. We didn't have anyone to take our photos nor did I have a remote for the camera. So I set up a tripod, placed the camera on a 20-second timer, and rushed to put on my bear head and pick up Goldilocks, and then pose! And I had to do it repeatedly.

We had two paranoid and very uncooperative cats. They were persistently trying to slither their way out  of our embrace, clawing at random, tugging at their leashes, tirelessly moving here and there -- you get the picture.

It was a headache!

Well, to be fair, they really didn't consent to this, but we insisted anyway. There were times we thought we had a good shot only to see that Foreman's wig was out of place, or Kwittie Boy's bear head was rotated a-la Linda Blair in The Exorcist, Foreman's leash was covering his face, and all sorts of stuff. It didn't help that I really couldn't see much from my bear head. I had very limited view.

It soon started to get dark and there wasn't enough light to shoot more pictures. So we had to let the cats go, and they instantly scampered back inside the house.

It was hard but it sure was a lot of fun. For us, but not for the cats.

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

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 .
