Some Fashionable Essentials - Your Outdoor Gear List

The camping or fishing trip is an occasion to look forward to. The verdant scenery, the soothing shimmering of a water body, and of course, the bonding with friends and family make spending time in the outdoors something we all look forward to. Spending time in the outdoors requires you to take some extra precautions to protect yourself from the elements. You can also be a little fashionable about it – a bit of aesthetics will not harm the rugged practicality of your gear. Here are some suggestions of what you need for your next outdoors experience.

Polarized Glasses

A pair of fancy shades will add a glam element to the outfit that you are wearing. Sunglasses also have a very important purpose. Those who spend a lot of time around water will tell you how straining it can be to the eyes without protection. Imagine being surrounded by a strongly reflective surface – you will not only have to contend with the sun above but also the rays coming off the surface of the water. This is why polarized glasses are a very important part of your outdoor apparel. If you're looking for durable and fashionable all in one, check out a pair of Sunglasses for first responders.

Jin Joo Korean Grill’s Unlimited Korean BBQ Promo

In Korea, Jin-joo is unisex given name but mostly a name referring for a sweet, loving, caring and genuine girl. The name also translates to "pearl". As per Wikipedia, the meaning differs based on the hanja used to write each syllable of the given name. There are 43 hanja with the reading "jin" and 56 hanja with the reading "joo" on the South Korean government's official list of hanja which may be registered for use in given names.

In the Philippines on the other hand, Jin Joo is the brand name of a modern Korean BBQ restaurant offering classic and innovative Korean specialties. Jinjoo prides itself with its bestsellers which include their signature 8-flavored samgyeopsal and Cheese Dung Galbi (baby back ribs wrapped in mozzarella cheese). They are also one of the K-BBQ restaurants in the metro that offers cheese dips for their meats. Well, they had me at cheese! Because I love cheese so much!

Introducing the New Dishes at Amici!

Amici is an Italian term that means "a friend". When Filipinos come across Amici, many are transported back to the nostalgic times when it first started out as a cafeteria in Don Bosco, Makati. Amici di Don Bosco dates back to 2001 and was founded by Fr. Gianluigi Colombo, a Salesian Italian priest in charge of overseeing the operations of the Don Bosco Makati Printing Press. Fr Colombo introduced Italian coffee and gelato, brick-oven baked pizza and homemade pasta.

News of great Italian cuisine served turo-turo style spread like wildfire, attracting patrons from all walks of life from all over the metro. Customers experienced a certain warmth and charm, where the staff treated every customer with special attention. The legacy of Fr. Colombo providing authentic Italian cuisine for friends and family continues today with the Moran family and Executive Chef Paolo Moran at the helm. 

Achieve Those Victoria Secret Bombshell Waves with RebeccaFashion

It’s the time of the year again and I’m not yet referring to Christmas or the holidays, but it’s the Victoria’s Secret Fashion again! I’ve been closely following since the buzz of this year’s VSFS started not only that I’ve never missed a show since the early 2000’s but because this year a Filipina will walk the VS runway for the first time! I couldn’t be so proud of Kelsey Merritt, I don’t know her personally but I’m a follower of hers on Instagram and I’ve trailed her rise to the runway of Victoria’s Secret together with thousands of other Filipinos who are rooting for her.

I love VS for so many reasons. I love their clothes and lingerie. I love the VS models, the style and fashion that goes along with this brand. I know I’m never gonna be anywhere close to those VS models (maybe in an alternate universe haha!) but I could say that everything about VS has inspired me in so many ways. I own a lot of VS stuff and I’ve copied some of the model’s styles and used those VS products. And one of the things that I’ve always wanted to achieve is that ever famous Victoria’s Secret Bombshell Waves.

Japanese-Korean Buffet for the Whole Month of November at Firefly Roofdeck

If you have been a regular reader or visitor of my blog or other social media, by now, you have an idea that I am someone who loves roof deck or roof top restaurants and/or bars. Whether or not the fickle Manila weather allows, my fondness of alfresco dining and drinking has taken me to a higher level of fun by seeking out the Metro’s best rooftop places. Places where solitude and calming breezes offer me a break from the noise of the real world down below.

In Poblacion, Makati, there’s a couple of rooftop restobars you can hang out at. I don’t know for sure if you’ve heard about Firefly Roofdeck. Well, Esquire Magazine Philippines included it as one of Manila's 7 Coolest Roof-Deck Bars. And I couldn’t see any reason why they shouldn’t include Firefly Roofdeck in that list.
