Singapore-based NikeTalker sircsetroc is currently in town and asked me a couple of weeks ago if we could meet up and grab some drinks. It was a chance for him to finally get his hands on a NikeTalk Tee after waiting for a couple of months. Since it was my rest day, I decided to add him to a long list of NikeTalkers worldwide I've met in person. I drove from Quezon City all the way to The Renaissance Makati City Hotel a little before midnight to avoid heavy traffic. When I called before leaving the house, he was already having drinks at the hotel with a bunch of Nike Park staff. They were all gone (thank God) by the time I got there.

We chatted for a bit about the regional sneaker scene and how it has evolved into something bigger and different over the years.

CASH & CARRY, CARTIMAR and CHRISTIAN JOEL back in the day. Ah, yes.

Earlier this week I received a Facebook message from my main man AZ asking me if we could finally go to Hooters Manila for some world famous chicken wings. I wasn't really excited in checking the place out since I had a feeling it'll be a letdown compared to the ones overseas. I headed out around 3pm amidst bad weather and met up with my number 1 fan, AZ (when it comes to jokes).

The location is enh but once we stepped inside the joint we knew we were at the right place. The interior is on point even though the place is kinda small. We ordered 20 piece breaded wings (750 pesos), a pitcher of draft beer (210 pesos) and some dipping sauce (50 pesos each).

The taste was completely off but the wings were filling nonetheless.

Around dinner time some familiar faces showed up to celebrate the newly graduate chef so AZ and I joined their party. Shout outs to Adi and his lovely wife, siblings Kevin and Kian, Mr. and Mrs. Roy, Leo and the friendly people from Cagayan de Oro!

You already know. Photos and a vid.

The Roys!


I need to stop wearing this sweater. Ha ha.


And that's a wrap!


Keep Walking


Notes: Saw the outdoor set up for the Alicia Keys concert and with the bad weather, it's not looking good. AZ knows the organizer and he explained the rift between people behind the concert and Araneta Coliseum management. Sucks since Alicia Keys is one of the best live performers I've watched in person.

Fellow sneakerheads have always questioned my peculiar taste for shoes. If I come up with a list of top ten sneakers, I'm sure I'd raise a lot of eyebrows.

In the continuing saga of The Jojo Jojo Show, I'm reintroducing most of my personal favs from kicks, movies, music to random stuff I continue to enjoy.

I present to you now my most favorite Dunk High.




A note from Dave.


Why Michigans?

BECAUSE I LIKE THEM.

A LOT.

9 + years and I'm still enjoying them.

Thanks seeker1!

It's my favorite female-under 21-Bay Area native cousin's 18th birthday today!

Have a good one Christina.

CHEERS!
