My dad turned 65 yesterday! I'm so thankful to still have him around. I didn't join my family's annual trip to Antipolo Churh so I didn't see him until the dinner I set up. Nothing fancy but we love this place! Banana Leaf makes me happy. :)

Who remembers browsing through Eastbay's catalog back in the 90's and early 00's? I always drooled over different team gear in matching colorways. Y'all lucky you don't have to order from overseas anymore since we now have this. 1UNITED!

Ever felt so hyped over something only to be disappointed? Well, that's how I felt last night. A friend I've known more than half of my life (whom I haven't seen in YEARS) swung by but didn't even stay for a drink. She was like in and out. -___- Still, good times, though. You really can't go wrong with Imperial Ice Bar on a Tuesday night. 100 peso tequila shots, yo!

QUICK TO WALL

With Derrick Rose sidelined for more than a year now, adidas turns to other NBA players to continue pushing its basketball line. Could John Wall be it? He's fast, can score and pass (2012-13 18.5 PPG, 7.6 APG), so it's only fitting that he gets the latest adidas basketball shoe - the Crazyquick. Da-da-dance, don't hold the Wall!

What could have been a great night ended with me walking 8 blocks to my car after the cab I was in got pulled over by "cops" for making an illegal turn. I swear I hate people who ruin my day/night. Just disappear will you! Oh, and fuck drama.

Pregame.

Just letting you know how much I appreciate you all. ♥

Ain't no party like a Puma SIU MAI party! Shout outs to all those who rolled through and copped their pair/s (price so nice you had to buy twice). Also to the participants of the dim sum eating contest. I never thought I'd utter the words "SWALLOW IT" to a bunch of dudes. PAUSE. Last but not the least, biggest thank you to Puma and Sole Academy. That one was for the books. Yes folks, HYPEBEAST x Puma "The Dim Sum Project" was a success! Missed out on the event? Fret not, I got you covered. Photos galore and a video of the eating contest (bottom page). Enjoy. :)

I've been waiting for these photos to come out ever since I found out last year about this collaboration between Hypebeast and Puma. Now I can say that it was definitely worth the wait. I'm telling you, broskis, this is the mother of all Puma collaborations. I love everything about this project (it just makes sense) from the dim sum inspiration (Hypebeast HQ is in Hong Kong) to the Puma shoes used (Blaze of Glory OG & LTWT). I can't wait to get my hands on a pair!
