Enimal Holiday 2017 Collection – My eyes are on those corduroy 5 panel hats with the embroidered logo…and the sport socks. My drawer can always have space for more socks. Always.
BROCKHAMPTON – Saturation III – BROCKHAMPTON in Manila when? I know, I know, it’s been out for quite a little bit but I just found the time to listen to the album straight and I listened to it twice in the commute despite the fact that my aux cord for my headphones was acting weird and I couldn’t properly hear the tracks. Still bumped it though. Bumping it now with better equipment. I love these guys.

Fresh Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream – My skin is generally fine, but I noticed I’ve been getting some small bumps around the sides of my face recently. So I decided to try Fresh‘s Rose Deep Hydration Face Cream (which you can get over at Sephora), exchanging it for my usual nightly face oil routine, and I shit you not–this is the first skincare product wherein I experienced the results almost immediately. I’ve only been using this for a week but the bumps on my skin are already gone and the texture of my face has gotten smoother and softer. It has a thick consistency but it isn’t sticky at all and it feels light once it’s dried down. I don’t like rose scents, but the cream’s odor is actually pretty subtle and relaxing. I think I’ve found my holy grail night moisturizer, guys.
Black Mirror‘s “USS Callister” – Out of the entire new Black Mirror season, “USS Callister” is my favorite episode, and also the best one in my opinion. I mean, “Hang the DJ” tried its best, but it’s no “San Junipero.” “USS Callister,” on the other hand, is unlike anything I’ve seen before in science fiction. It’s crazy, entertaining, funny, and horrifying at the same time, all wrapped in one episode that tackles the toxicity of male egos. Plus, yes to strong and hilarious female heroines (that “pussy” line was epic). I want this to be an entire series on its own.
Room No. 7 – I’m a Do Kyungsoo stan, of course I’d fucking see this movie as soon as it was subbed online. Room No. 7 is a dark thriller and comedy, following a DVD room owner and his part-time manager as they work together to prevent people from discovering the dead body hidden in…yes, Room 7. No biases here–I think it’s a fun watch even for those who aren’t EXO fans. This is actually my favorite out of Kyungsoo’s filmography. It’s compelling, bleak, but still humorous despite its themes.

A-Team Love More Dance Video – I’ve always been a fan of A-Team ever since, and I always love it when dance teams get recognition from outside the dance community. In their recent collaboration with Sony featuring the Sony Extra Bass speakers, they delivered a sizzling number that’ll remind all of us of summer night parties. Excuse me while I try on some of their moves…
Converse Chuck Taylor All Star ’70s “Vintage” Collection – I’m a lover of classic closet staples because it never goes out of style. And Converse’s Chuck Taylor All Stars are the ultimate timeless sneakers. I’m completely in love with their recent All Star ’70s “Vintage” collection which has a washed canvas-constructed uppers. I can’t wait to get one for myself. I can already imagine all the outfits I can pair these classic sneaks with!
