Do you remember the time when you met a girl from Mars? 

That was just probably me. 

Here's a quick outfit post from Davao Intergalactic Spaceport bound to Earth.

I love flying. I love plane rides. I love beautiful male attendants. I love PAL. I love cool plane seatmates. Especially if your seatmate is a young cool alien from Korea who doesn't give a fuck if your hair is blue and you look like a remnant of Studio 54 (or an experiment gone wrong  from Area 51). Everyone, meet P.K. A student from Davao who's bound to Oz that evening for a vacay. We chatted. Watching tvN (a Korean channel in cable TV) has paid off! We talked about Korean music, which my knowledge is limited to K-Pop. I told him that my favorite show is Music Show Newton, Korea's version of Top of the Pops.  We talked about Yang Seung Ho. We also talked about Korea's obligatory military training. He  said he likes Davao more than Manila. I totally agree with him when he said Manila is so smoggy. I asked him if he knows any Korean clubs where young Koreans hang out because I've been wanting to enter one and see how they party. He said he doesn't know of any place like that in the Philippines. I also asked him why the young Koreans are so clique-ish because I seldom see them partying with Pinoys, he said they're afraid of us because of what they hear from the news. I told him to come visit Baguio City because Koreans are starting to outnumber the locals. I was exaggerating, of course. That was a short trip with so many fun things to talk about.

meet P.K.

Next thing I know, the spaceship has landed back to Earth.

And here are the obligatory airport papparazzi shots. Enjoy!

P.S.
I was definitely back in Manila when we were caught in a bad traffic jam caused by this government vehicle turning a U-turn on a NO U TURN SLOT! Bad thoughts came to my head if some foreign national took hostage of the bus but, no! The driver is just plain stupid. He miscalculated the pivot point of the narrow road. I am definitely home!

The darkness is falling and you're still happy.

You still don't know what will happen.

Still don't know anything.

Soon you'll learn...

You'll learn to lov eeternal lide.

You'll learn to love the night

You'll learn to hate the day.

Same as I did.

And you'll learn to love me. and maybe, someday, I'll tell you...

Evening 2 @ Hybrid Club, Autoshop, Davao City

I have no words to say during this night as I have left the house before I could even enter. 

'cept for the fact that I met Jack again that night and he's not just sitting on top of my friend Helga's head, but I guess on everyone's head too.

I'm back from my short vacay in Davao. Davao didn't change much since my last visit a year ago but this time I stayed on the northern part of it. I stayed at Marco Polo Hotel which is at the heart of the city. Morning was spent mostly on eating. Evening was about partying. Checked out every possible hotspot of the city. Since it was short for the weekend, some clubs are not as packed except on my last night, which was Friday. That's when the party folks really came out to dance. There's a shortage of good music but the people sure knows how to have fun! I met a lot of new faces whose name I can vaguely remember. The only name I will never forget is this someone called Jack. Jack Daniels. Never got to know him more 'cause he's always on the rocks. He was fun to be with, nevertheless.

This magnificent framed tapestry by Pacita at the lobby of Marco Polo davao caught my attention. It's an explosion of colors and painstaking hand-painted and hand-sewn details reminded me of Haider Ackermann's opium S/S 2011 jacket and pants. Makes me want to steal it!

And to continue that oriental-esque visual experience, my host treated me to this MSG-free chinese resto called Ahfat for late gluttonous lunch!

Oh, look! There's Puff, the magic dragon in the sky!

and this was "what i wore"

Davao has a smoking ban which is strictly implemented throughout the city which is kinda bummer. There are designated spot for smokers, though, but that ruins the fun, isnt it?

Come evening, I went out to check the nightlife looking fro some good clubs with good music. but before that, I met my date for the eve who shall remain nameless. And no, his name don't start with a K.

We started the night at the Rizal Promenade, a kitschy comedy bar with videoke and cheap drinks. Not bad. 

The date sang "Beautiful In My Eyes"  on stage while I gag. Not bad, indeed.

Next stop was at Fat Bobby's. It's way much better than the Promenade, only they were playing tunes like "September" and those dancing repertoire you hear played during weddings. The crowd were mostly yuppies so what do you expect. And also, that's where I met Jack.

Inside Fat Bobby's

For the lack of a better place to hang out, we made "patol" Fat Bobby's.

I went to the toilet with this signage for men's. The ladies toilet has, Queen of Pop signage. Madonna, obviously.

Everything was so-so until they played "Ice Ice Baby." And that's when "the date" and I showed off and stole the show.

"The date" is a good dancer. He's got the moves, baby! Everyone in the club stopped dancing and watched us him  in awe. The next thing i remember, everyone who's someone in the club went to our table introducing themselves. Hah! There were a couple of City Councilors, the club owner, someone who claims to own part of Samal island, a skateboard shop owner, etc. That's where the real fun began. Chikahan to the max. Someone named "Tisoy," even recognized me from Manila. We got wakeboarding invitations, free trips to some island and all but sadly, we didn't have enough time for that. Drinks came in from various people. A good-looking homeboy in tow is always an advantage.

I will be here tomorrow!!!

Mercury retrograde is definitely over! I got a free ticket to fly to Davao City and a free 2-night stay in this hotel! How cool is that? It's my birthday next week and this comes as an early present from some good souls. Thank you!!!

P.S. 

Other than free trips, I also accept free designer clothes, money, and other valuable stuff in exchange of friendship, fun company and/or sexual services.

Brian, Lauryn, Ziggy and Curt

Gwen and Gavin

"the new couple in the 'hood." 

I woke up early today. So early that I have had my first breakfast in months. Yes, the egg-and-hotdog kind! I usually have my McMuffins at 4 or 5am and that's before going to sleep. Anyway, I woke up because of this dream I had where we, humans, are being hunted down by unseen machines. It was action-packed to say the least. Kinda like an Arnold Schwarzenegger movie, wherein "I" was the Arnold in Balenciaga-esque leather jacket minus the big guns. The human-hunters caught me and before I can even show off my karate chop I woke up. (No, I never did drugs last night.) I never went back to sleep again. Instead, I had my early morning coffee, and played with my birds. (Ooops, that didn't sound right.) They aren't really mine, they are my housemate's but I treat them as my own and named them differently. The red/green/yellow are The Marleys- Ziggy and Lauryn. The blue ones are Curt and Brian from the Velvet Goldmine movie. They have the same blue hair as Brian Slade's. The two couples share a cage because we don't have space for another one. I think Ziggy and Brian are having an affair because I always see them inside their little wooden birdhouse together. The next couple is Gwen and Gavin. They are my favorite. They have mohawks and they wear orange blush ons. Such a vain couple. The yellow lovebirds are new. They are "the new couple in the 'hood." We haven't played that much so I don't know much about them yet. They look like they had too much chilis for breakfast.

It was hot outside and so was I. These pants is 3 years old and from the looks of it, it shows like it has been through a lot. Indeed.

Rad Hourani works with MYKITA on these unisex sunglasses. Its block design certainly defies most of the curvacious lenses seen with no hint of curves at all. Matte black lenses give the Mykita a reserved look. Available now through RAD.-hypebeast
