AN A.M. A DAY #1 - TOUGH

I'm starting a new look series on my blog where I'm gonna copy someone's style.

It's more convenient for me that way since I don't need to talk much about why I'm wearing this, where I wore that 'coz honestly? I'm getting tired of talking. (To be really, really honest? I'm just lazy. Hoho.)

So why "An A.M. A Day"?

I'M MAKING THE MOVE...

Literally! That's what I have been doing for the past couple of weeks. You see I just transferred my office to a more convenient and better place and it's customary that whenever I do that, I also transfer to a new house. I know, I'm weird. But I want you to know that I'm all settled now. Well, sort of.

One thing that I didn't passed on is the opportunity to take part in the whole moving process. It felt great to sweat it all out with all the carrying and placing and arranging and, you get the idea. I'm not the type who devotes time to exercise but I found out that for every movement I do with my body, not necessarily exercise activities, it contributes to my well-being fitness-wise. That's what I learned at the MOVE store launch.

Conceptualized by the same team responsible for the award-winning RUNNR specialty store chain, MOVE aims to change the way people approach health and fitness. Inspired by the quote from Aristotle, "Life is Movement," Quorum President Toby Claudio found himself with a burning desire to change lives by simply getting people to move to stay fit. To do that, MOVE fitness lifestyle store offers its customers a goal-based approach called the "MOVE BODY PROJECT" to their store experience.

The Move Body Project starts off with a free full-body composition analysis using a state-of-the-art machine previously available only in hospitals.

Then MOVE's fitness consultants assist customers in identifying their state of health and help them mark the starting point of their journey to better fitness. That's what we are doing in the following photos.

BASIC HOUSE OPENS AT SM MEGAMALL

Good news to us fans of Korean brand Basic House! Their third store (and the most accessible!) is now open at SM Megamall!

And to celebrate, I along with some of Manila's fashionable online peeps, were invited at their store opening to spend the afternoon shopping and more! It rained cupcakes, ice cream (Korean, of course!) and Basic House gift certificates! And that's on top of the 20% off on regular items that was offered to guests exclusively on that day only. And oh, there was a KPop Flash Mob too! Watch it HERE.

Congratulations Basic House and RSSI!

#WANDERLANDMUSICFEST #THECRUMPLERTAKEOVER

It's a double HT for you today.

Starting with how I looked like yesterday at the most awesome and coolest music festival of the year, Wanderland. #sober

Ray-Ban wayfarers
Nick Automatic shirt
SM Accessories bracelets
Topman pants and shoes

Brought a backpack for a change. Pa-hipster lang I know but that's how I survived the event with all my gadgets, spare change and a quarter of my house in it.

And this is how my Crumpler Proud Stash woke up today. It got pimped!

The other HT refers to the contest mechanics of The Crumpler Takeover which I mentioned several posts ago. Since we're on the topic of survival, if you want your bag to last this school year (and the next…and the next...), get the latest Crumpler bag, the Proud Stash! It not only boasts of the same quality which the brand is known for but it also comes at a more affordable price! For more color choices, click HERE.

Now if you're feeling lucky, why not join #TheCrumplerTakeOver and get a chance to win either a Proud Stash or a Ludicrous Debacle? All you have to do is tweet @CrumplerPH a photo of your dying bag along with the hashtag #TheCrumplerTakeOver. Try squeezing in a little story for good measure! For more details, click HERE.
