Since its inception, GARAGE has become an integral part in shaping the taste and knowledge of Filipino men in the realm of fashion—providing a dossier on the latest trends in men’s style and grooming as well as dispensing inspiration through its avant-garde fashion editorials.

August issue cover star and best-dressed awardee, Enchong Dee was present to kick off the night’s festivities, which was then capped with a fashion show directed by Robbie Carmona and sponsored by clothing brand, RRJ.

The theme of the evening was PUNK ROCK and guests were seen donning their leather jackets, studded belts, shiny boots and spiked accessories. The August anniversary issue features Enchong Dee in a special fashion editorial interpreting this year’s motif. The issue is dubbed as a collector’s item because it comes with a special commemorative issue featuring the past best-dressed shot specifically for the issue.

Ikkoryu Fukuoka, Authentic Japanese Ramen for the Season

 

           

Fukuoka Japan is one of the known cities in that region that has something to look for  and would not dare to missed the kind of recipe they have that is too close to their culture and hearts as well. RAMEN is one of their staple food due to their cool climate and I am one of the lover of this food and will not stop to like it, be it on hot or cold weather.

This is my favorite RAMEN that they have the Spicy Tonkatsu Ramen, I love spices and have tasted some Asian Ramen such as Chinese, Thai  ect. but this one has the perfect spice that I want and have tried ,eat , and linger up to the very last spoon of the soup .

Thanks to the patience and Hospitality of  CEO Ogata Masanori San and Director of Public Relation Komoru Kenji San who make a way to share their company’s secrets and real intents to open and flood us with their own local RAMEN’s, and of course visit their newly  open branch here on Rockwell Plant Mall  Makati City.

Instant Mommy Stars “ Eugene Domingo”

 

.

If  you think and talk of Indie Films , the first person who will comes out of your mind is Eugene Domingo  and its true Instant Mommy was casted by non other than Ms. Eugene its a story of a typical Filipina women who dream of having a good life by marrying a foreigner for her to be secured and her family as well . Nonetheless, this movie shows and teach us as a nation that it is not always and should be the answer to all of our dreams but most of the time our women becomes a victim  and instantly be an Instant Mommy. Good thing that in this movie ,Eugene just pretend to be pregnant to shame the man she loves .

The movie stars Eugene Domingo as Betchay, a breadwinner wardrobe assistant who is committed to her Japanese fiancee Kaoru (Yuki Matsuzaki) because she is pregnant with their child.
In a hilarious turn of events, she suffers a miscarriage and she realizes the only way to get everything back is to become an Instant Mommy.

Eugene Domingo proves that she deserved winning the Yahoo OMG! award for best comedienne. She is the main reason for the standing ovation the crowd gave the movie when it was over. Like other indie films, small roles are once again made famous by singer Rico J. Puno as Betchay's father and Earl Ignacio as one of her work mates.

This is one of those movies that proves indie movies can compete with the mainstream movies. It was a great comedy that had me laughing out loud on several occasions. She went through several mishaps on trying to prove to Kaoru that she is indeed pregnant. All of them would end up involving an ex girlfriend of her brother, a secret lover and her gay best friend.

I must say that the movie is worth seeing and may it opens the minds of our Women be it Mothers and Daughters as well , as it opens to theaters on August 28, 2013
