Stanford Rd. Polo Shirt @ Bench

Again, I did not buy this. I got sponsors! Hehe.

I’m told this Stanford Rd. polo t-shirt is a line from bench. I’m told (2) that these polo shirts come in black, in white and in gray. I got the black and the gray. I don’t like white polo t-shirt, some days, that’s our uni during highschool days. Go to Bench if you want , get one and make Ben Chan richer.

Art Deco Book

Engages the reader in the heady world of the 1920s and 1930s when Art Deco style was all the rage. Covering architecture, jewellery, textiles, fine art and home furnishing, this book looks at well-known and not so well-known designers and creators of this most sophisticated of stiles, tracing its progress from the luxurious to the mass-produced.

Follows the development of one of the Twentieth Century`s most glamorous styles. All aspects of 1920s and 1930s design and architecture were affected by its elegant sophistication, and this beautiful new book shows how its pervading influences transformed everyday objects into luxurious works of art.

Art Deco was a popular international art design movement from 1925 until the 1940s, affecting the decorative arts such as architecture, interior design, and industrial design, as well as the visual arts such as fashion, painting, the graphic arts, and film. At the time, this style was seen as elegant, glamorous, functional, and modern.



The movement was a mix of many different styles and movements of the early 20th century, including Neoclassical, Constructivism, Cubism, Modernism, Art Nouveau, and Futurism.[1] Its popularity peaked in Europe during the Roaring Twenties[2] and continued strongly in the United States through the 1930s.[3] Although many design movements have political or philosophical roots or intentions, Art Deco was purely decorative.



Art Deco experienced a decline in popularity during the late 30s and early 40s, and soon fell out of public favor. It experienced a resurgence with the popularization of graphic design in the 1980s. Art Deco had a profound influence on many later artistic movements, such as Memphis and Pop art.

Surviving examples may still be seen in many different locations worldwide, in countries as diverse as the United Kingdom, Spain, Cuba, Indonesia, the Philippines, Romania, New Zealand and Brazil. Many classic examples still exist in the form of architecture in many major cities. The Empire State Building and The Chrysler Building, both in New York City, are two of the largest and best-known examples of the style. VIA

Piniga ang utak
Nag-isip ng itatatak
Pinilipit ang tees

Team Pacquiao T-Shirt

I got this Nike Team Pacquiao t-shirt late so I wasn’t able to wear this during the Hatton massacre last May 3. Not to pout though, looks like Manny Pacquiao will soon have a concert/singing tour here in the Philippines. I may soon catch Manny’s gig then I should be able to wear this Manny Pacquiao t-shirt one of these days.

I remember,,, Giordano Classic T-Shirt

A gift I received from a HK visitor… a pasalubong… a Giordano white tee.

Whick reminds me of… back in the day, we wore Giordano Classics T-Shirts exclusively. Like, I had all the colors. Back then, those Giordano tees are (literally) cool and will set you back around ( i think) P200 a piece. But it’s sulit, super comfortable to wear, easy to wash, etc. And, as time goes by and as the shirt goes by too, pwedeng pambahay, masarap sa katawan.

WOW, that’s almost a decade ago.

Lee Tee

I mentioned the sale Lee Jean t-shirts at Landmark, as much as 50% off… well, here are the two other shirts I bought.

The Lee Tee

I grabbed this yesterday @ Landmark Ayala Center. On sale 50% off. Price is now P350.00. Check ‘em out. Their outlet/space there at Landmark is at GF, near GUESS. I did panic buying and took 3 pcs. For the heck of it, I’ll post the other 2 t-shirts photos later.

Unboxing Canon EF S 55 - 250mm F/4-5.6 IS

Here's the Christmas gift I gave myself... Canon EF S 55 - 250mm F/4-5.6 IS.

I ordered this mid-December. Only now it is on hand. Another thing that I must learn to use. The plan is to use this on sports photos, some travel maybe, and most likely sniping too. :-)

The price hovers P11,000 and that is the cheapest I can go into acquiring an IS telephoto zoom lens.

As far as lens buying is concerned, this will be my last lens for a while ( a year to a year and a half). Aside from lens are so pricey and that I don't have enough cash to throw away, another reason not to jump on big time lens is that, the lens I got (kit 18-55mm, 50mm 1.8 prime and now this telephoto lens), i haven't really mastered using 'em all. Eto muna aralin ko then maybe mid next year or Christmas next year, upgrade again.
