LOOKBOOK | 19Dec2015: 40 years of Voltes V

Image
Star Wars may undoubtedly be white hot right now but yes, that's a Voltes V t-shirt I'm wearing right there. The George Lucas-created space opera is arguably drowning out everything else with merchandising deals left and right, including several with various clothing brands (and of course I got a Darth Vader t-shirt !). Meanwhile, the classic party of five anime is celebrating its 40th anniversary. Thankfully there's Giordano to help us relive fun times with Voltes V.

LOOKBOOK | 17Dec2015: Darth Vader forever! (from the Uniqlo x Star Wars collection)

The things boredom can make you do! Stuck in a prolonged wait last Thursday night, I started playing with my phone for a couple of self-timed shots. I was frustrated, though, that it didn't focus properly. After a bit more tinkering, I "discovered" its voice command capabilities and soon enough, I was saying "Shoot," "Smile," "Capture," and "Cheese" out loud. I was wearing my new Darth Vader/Stormtrooper tee after all.

Sorry for cropping you out, ladies. But what's with all the ladies behind me anyway? Well, someone had this idea to hold a group photo the day before our department Christmas party--and that we had to wear preppy clothes. So out with all the plaid, sweaters, and what-have-you did we!

LOOKBOOK | 03Dec2015: Captain Hook

Image
After my slight pirate-inspired outfit last week, I went on full pirate regalia for a Christmas party last Thursday as Captain Hook . It was as if Peter Pan 's nemesis rose from the ranks or something. Who knew pirates also lived in a world of meritocracy? It was a movie-themed costume party and our first time with our colleagues from the mothership for a joint celebration. We had to dress up as a group and were given the freedom to pick our movies. We first toyed with the Filipino historical biopic Heneral Luna but less than a week into the event, we shifted to Hook , the Steven Spielberg-helmed reinterpretation of Peter Pan as a grownup. No surprise, I was assigned to be Captain Hook.
