The Happening: A New Perspective!
I've had my dSLR for almost 10 months now, and for the longest time, I wanted to upgrade to a new lens. It was just that the money was hard to come by, with all the beautiful stuff around distracting my limited wallet and all. Well, last week, I decided that there should be no more delay. I finally convinced myself it was time to upgrade, and level up I did!
I got the 35mm f1.8 lens for my Nikon D60 - a fast lens which lets me take sharper pictures without breaking a sweat. Just so you know, that's heaven for a guy like me who has such twichy pasmado arms! I've actually been testing it out endlessly the past week and I must say, zero regrets from this buyer. I may be P13K down, but what the hell? Memories, being as precious as they are, need the perfect tool to capture them. Oh, and did I mention it's perfect for street style shots too? Watch out, world!
Just days ago, I thought of selling my D60..well, not anymore!

The Happening: Jack Bauer's Dope Specs
Forgive me for exaggerating, but I do believe that 24 is the most awesome TV show of all time...of all time! It has been for 8 seasons now, with Jack Bauer (Kiefer Sutherland) taking and dishing out all sorts of god-awful torture. Not only are the plots about government conspiracies and terrorism so riveting, but the show's innovative format of offering events as they happen "in real time" makes for such fast paced television (though it made me wonder at times why Bauer doesn't pee or even yawn).
Anyhow, this mention of the show on ze blog is not without merit. While I was watching the latest episode online, I just happened to notice the awesome glasses that Mr. Bauer wore while undercover (as if glasses would help, right?) Come to think of it, though, in this particular case, they do. The thick rounded specs are flat-out awesome and made even the toughest of SOBs look slightly intellectual. Of course, after having said that, he proceeded to pull out his gun and threaten a thug, but that's just how Jack Bauer is. Still, props to the wardrobe guy.
The best style choice Jack's ever made
Look at the intensity!

The Item: Adidas TS Supernatural
The annual All-Star Game holds a special place in the calendars of NBA fans as the one night where the game's best come together and put on a heck of a show. To those who've been paying attention, though, the yearly East vs. West showdowns is really the time when dope new shoes are revealed, and yeah, the 2010 version's no different.
This year, the All-Stars of East and West will be sporting the dope-as-hell Adidas TS Supernaturals. Not only do they look great from all angles (especially the bottom); they'll also make you lighter, faster, and more stable once you put 'em on. Featuring Puremotion tech in both body and sole, the shoe's practically like an extension of your foot, allowing you ultimate flexibility and putting another hop in your step when you need to sky for that rejection or elevate for that dunk (you wish!).
As if the shoes aren't enough, Adidas is giving you a chance to win an exclusive East or West basketball with every purchase or even better, a chance to watch Dwight Howard and Derrick Rose duke it out LIVE in an all expenses paid trip to the US with $1,000 in shopping money! Damn, when Adidas says the TS Supernaturals can make you fly, they definitely deliver the goods!

I just love that gold pilot wing on the heel! Time to fly, baby!

The Happening: Bought One, Took One!
Remember when i told you all about the Buy 1, Take 1 weekend that Topman was going to have? Well, it happened, and I was not one to be left behind in all the action. I originally wanted to get slim fit slacks to add to my collection, but the styles I liked didn't have my size already. I looked at jeans too, but the only ones left were those "Spray On" skinnies, which I will never wear because I do want to bear offspring one day.
Anyhow, with jeans and slacks off the books, I wasn't really going to buy anything else. That was until I chanced upon the beautiful black canvas weekender you see below. Man, you don't know how long I've been looking for one of those babies! The canvas is the perfect material for a weekender bag, I think, because it can take all the rumbles and tumbles of travel and look even better after all the abuse. Finally, I can stop stuffing my Barba Eco-tote for all those out of town trips!
Now for the "take one" part. Left with a few options that were priced below the bag, I "settled" for this checkered button-down collar shirt without fitting (a cardinal sin in shopping!) since the store was closing down already. Thankfully, when I put it on at home, the fit was great and for something that was free, it felt oh so good! Needless to say, more stores should have schemes like this. Who cares if it's "last season's" stuff, if it looks good, it looks good!
A sturdy canvas weekender for P1,700. Not bad!
With this polo for free, I left the store a very happy camper!

The Happening: Dopeness at the Grammy's!
Music's biggest night went down last night and no, I didn't get to watch all of it. Thank God for the internets though because I was still able to catch (and this is without seeing any of the others) what in my honest opinion was the best performance of the esteemed awards show!
Yeah, it may not have been as stylish as my favorite from last year but this performance of "Drop the World" and "Forever" is straight up rap at its finest. The past in Eminem, the present in Lil Wayne, and the future in Drake - it just doesn't get any better than this. (Well, Kanye could have performed his verse too, but he wasn't even in the building). With the incomparable Quentin Tarantino throwing down some mad hype and Blink 182's Travis Barker on the drums, it was yet another home run for hip-hop at the Grammy's. 2 years in a row? Whoud've thunk it right?
