LOOKBOOK | Ey, kamusta?

halfwhiteboy - Maya hoodie, jeans, and Dr. Martens 01

Ey, kamusta?

We're currently on a hybrid work arrangement where I work. Recently, though, they designated Friday as a mandatory work from home day, and of course, it's music to my ears. That said, I suppose Thursday is now the new Friday for us, when I get to be a lot less "corporate" with my outfits. So yeah, it's jeans and a hoodie for me. The choice of footwear was a last-minute switch when I realized that the high-cut sneakers I was supposed to wear were peeling off in some parts—a casualty of the pandemic, if you may. Sad. 

My hoodie, by the way, says "Maya," which was formerly known as PayMaya. The rebrand saw the old app's transformation into more than just an e-wallet. It's now your all in one money app and probably the only one you'll ever need for digital financial services. Apart from sending and receiving money, making online and QR payments, paying bills and all that, Maya lets you trade crypto currencies right within the app. Yes, you can conveniently buy and sell Bitcoin, Ethereum, and a host of other crypto currencies. There's also a helpful how to for beginners, graphs, customizable alerts, and more. 

One more thing worth checking is the app's savings and lending features through Maya Bank. Opening a savings account is easy and the interest rate is way above the ones offered by traditional banks. Right now, there's a promotional 6% per annum rate that you might want to take advantage of. There's also a really cool Personal Goals feature that can help you overcome your "adulting" struggles and be financially responsible in general.

Of course there's more—and even more to come—but I'll just leave the discovering to you. What I can say is that Maya truly is everything and a bank. If you still don't have Maya, download the app now and use the following invite code:

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.

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 | 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 .
