Titan with another solid Holiday Air Jordan XI release through Early Access, RSVP, PremyCard, midnight webstore and FCFS in-store drops. There's no excuse to not have a pair by the time this post goes live!

ICONIC

My first cousin Julie and her partner @livinpro0f always with the best pasalubong even when I tell them I'm good. Sick hat and tee from @tiltedbrimsf (makes me miss El Sol on Geary) plus a Lighting Nike Chronicle Deluxe book. ⁣⁣

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥⁣⁣⁣

⁣⁣⁣

THANK YOU!!!!⁣⁣⁣

How this woman @miabayuga looks younger than when she left Manila back in 2012 baffles my mind. She must have found the fountain of youth or something. And yes, it took me 6 long years before I reconnected with her face to fez. You see the pattern now with how I am with people I hold close to my heart? #CLARITY

3 years in and STILL the best wraps in my country of 7,107 islands. Congratulations to the entire @buen.comer family on another year of great grub that never disappoints. They are open today so if you are in Quezon City or nearby you better swing by. It's a packed and fun house of nomness!

LOOK! Another UNDERWHELMING light show. LOL. -___-

I WON! I WON! I can't believe I really won... to purchase LOL. These are so absurd I just had to have them.

STORY TIME!

2 realizations tonight ⁣

⁣

1. Only a handful of people know my previous life/real story.⁣

2. The ones that do I keep really close to my heart BUT it takes me forever to see or reconnect with them. (Mostly my fault.)⁣

⁣

Meet my first cousin Nancy from Alameda, CA. Her and her husband Jojo opened their home and took me in (when they really didn't have to) back in March of 2007 when I left Manila and flew to San Francisco to save whatever little was left of my sanity. Being surrounded by them and their 2 kids along with the rest of my Bay Area family did just that. I am proud to say that even though most of you think that I am a crazy mofo, underneath, I am really a good-hearted person. And this is mostly because of people like Nancy. It's been exactly 11 years since I last saw her so when I found out that she was gonna be in town for her niece's wedding, (TFTI @yukihigson) I knew it was time for me to come out of my hole again. ⁣

⁣

It was great seeing you again, Nancy! Please send my love to kuya Jojo, Mykel and Jonna. ❤ #forevergrateful #Crux40

I popped my @fujifilmph cherry event tonight and attended the Fujifilm Thanksgiving Party. Never seen so many hardcore Fujifilm users under one roof good thing there was unlimited @joesbrew pale ale for meeeee. Congratulations to the top winner of the raffle. Dude went home with a brand new XF10. Wow! Shout out to Wilfredo Fetiza III. I don't know who you are but your shot is my fav out of all the photos in the exhibit. I can't believe I went home drunk at 9 pm! #FujifilmPH #Crux40 #whiskeydick

Thousands of Saint Pio devotees and Catholic hypebeasts came to see his heart relic. I just went to pray for y'all. 😊

After years of watching videos on YouTube and seeing posts here about a jizz-like substance that whitens yellowed soles, I finally tried using the Salon Care 40 Volume Creme Developer on my 1985s and several other pairs. It only took a couple of hours to reverse 30 plus years of aging. It's way better than glutathione and papaya soap! (Just kidding. Don't use this shit on your skin as it fucking burned my fingers.) #Crux40 #NT #mycoldyourdone

STORY TIME!⁣

⁣

Earlier this week I ordered an oversized fanny pack from @nognogdgk after he posted a photo of his latest @sackitph creation. My stuff could barely fit in my old @CarharttWIP Essentials bag after @weLegendary sent over a Fujifilm XF10 for my birthday so I figured why not a new bag? I really wanted @PeakDesign’s 5L Everyday Sling but am I really gonna spend $100 on one when I can buy 34 orders of @Jollibee’s Double Amazing Aloha Yumburger Meal with that money?! (I was never a fan of their burgers but trust me, this one will blow your mind.)⁣

⁣

I sent him a message on IG asking what colors were available and he replied quickly with about a dozen swatches including camo designs. I was this >< close to ordering one in camo but then I realized recently that I got so much camo stuff I can’t even see myself anymore. :/⁣

⁣

So I decided to settle with a solid color instead and went with the #NT color scheme. The red is much deeper in person and perfectly matches my NikeTalk fitted. I fucking love how it came out! Good job, Nog! Totally impressed with the stitching and materials used. Forget a Gucci fanny pack. Supporting local brands by OGs will always be way cooler!⁣

⁣

THE END.⁣

⁣

Stay safe and dry this stormy weekend, folks!⁣ ❤

Who else is in the Makati area? Check out the new Glorietta 4 store next to Nike and support my old schoolmate @antoinettetaus for @tomsphilippines! #TOMSStand4Hunger #TomsXCora

I just had to crawl out of my hole to post this birthday gift from my main man @welegendary.

WHAT A WILD SURPRISE!

So, who's going? 👀 Same weekend as ComplexCon! (via @nelcab23) #NT #NikeTalk #NTLive2018 #NikeTalkLive2018 #TapTapPull #RyanKMDforMOD

You ever heard the story about how @welegendary and I single-handedly resurrected the Nike SB brand and made it hot in a country with 7,107 islands back in the late 00's? Or the story about how a bunch of clueless fools thought they could replicate wL's success and made the worst mistake of killing the brand in the mid 10's by flooding the market with products only fit for skateshops? Never? All good. They are gone now and we are still here stronger than ever. And yes, Nike SB is back in the Philippines, starting with two new classic styles to choose from. Who else is hyped?

No, not The Bangles hit but THIS. What better way to start the Fire Prevention Month in the Philippines than to stay lit with this sick collaboration between we Legendary skateshop and world-famous windproof lighter maker Zippo.

It's been a while since I last visited my grandmother (mother's side) so I thought of tagging along with my mom and sister to visit Mamang on her 101st birthday. 💕

A little surprise from Team LMS/NT member Paeng who I emailed a Hong Kong guide to late last year.

So these should be a no-brainer. First Nike/@titan_22 event that I attended in a looong time. What up @raoulreinoso @flectarn_ocho! #FLOTG

There's only a few people my age that I look up to and @azeiton9 is one of them. Too bad I don't get to see her often. Nick's Crispy Tacos SF in 2009 then Manila in 2018. Where will we catch up next in 2027? New Zealand? 😂 It was great seeing you, Leah! Have fun in Davao and Cebu. 💕
