G-Shock's Shock the World Tour in Manila

To celebrate its 30th anniversary, G-Shock launched a series of events called Shock the World, which was held in various cities all over the world including New York, Paris, London and of course, here in Manila.

The event was held at Hyve and was graced by the man behind G-Shock himself, Kikuo Ibe. He told the story of how he came up with a shockproof watch, with matching animations as he spoke. Mr. Ibe was actually quite entertaining and funny. During his introduction, he even spoke in full Filipino: not just one or two sentences, mind you. New additions to their existing timepiece collection were presented afterwards and there was even a video showing a G-Shock watch being run over by a 10-wheeler truck (or was it 12?).

Thanks G-Shock for the limited edition STW MNL watch! I've worn it so many times already!

Bershka Opening x Antony Morato Launch x I Love Koi - Strip Fashion Show

Two Thursdays ago was my busiest night as a blogger. First, there was the Bershka opening party at Glorietta 2 where the music of Taken by Cars entertained the guests. Eve Speciall who flew in from Hong Kong then took over and played her beats. She was followed by another DJ-slash-international blogger from Madrid, Prince Pelayo. Btw, check his post about Manila here. Anyway, the store was filled with people to the point that it was very hard to move around. Decent shots from my bulky camera would have been impossible, so I relied on my friend's camera for photos. Thank you Sef! Phya and I bumped into our friend Iya during the party, which explains the photo above.

After this event, I attended another launch. This time it was an Italian menswear brand called Antony Morato. Their first ever branch here in the Philippines is located at Alabang Town Center. I wasn't able to stay long enough for the fashion show because I had to go to another event at Prive Luxury Club. But I found their collections pretty cool, I must say. Looking forward for the opening of more branches in Manila!

The last event for the night was the Strip x I Love Koi bikini fashion show. PMAP models sashayed down the runway wearing I Love Koi's newest swimwear designs. The show started really late, around past midnight and you could see that the people were getting restless. Good thing the event was hosted by Tricia Centenera, Sam YG, and the other guys from Boys Night Out --- Slick Rick and Dj Tony Toni. They were so funny and made everything worth the wait. Some of my favorites from the fashion show are posted here, just click the link below! :)
