What I wore for my Ninja School graduation.

Yours truly recently graduated from Ninja School after five years of involuntary servitude. This is what I wore for my graduation:

The restaurant waiter had his moments of vanity.

This photo was taken during lunch at a restaurant where we celebrated my freedom from Ninja School. 

Light pink button down shirt from GQ.

Black dress pants from Michel Andre.

Dark blue tie with little pink and white polka dot patterns.

Silver tie clip and a gold ring given by my mom as accessories.

Black  belt and black dress shoes (not in photo).

As a rule, I prefer wearing light button downs paired to accentuate the dark ties as seen here. I have yet to experiment with pattern against pattern with regards to the tie and the shirt.

I am proud to say that I have evolved from the pink-abhorring ignoramus that I once was. Nevertheless, I chose a lighter pink so as not to look gay. The brighter the pink the gayer it is, I think.

When it comes to accessories, the rule is that men's accessories such as tie clips and rings should not clash - gold with gold, silver with silver. However, sometimes rules have to be broken, like in this instance. I wore my gold ring as I consider them a valuable gift from my parents even though they clash with my silver tie clip. Rules bend for special reasons.

Notice that I am not wearing any watch. I was running a little late for the graduation program that's why I had to rush, completely forgetting about my time piece.

Don't I look boss?

PS: I borrowed the shades from my brother just for the look.

I Just Ninjaed Some Aigle Sneakers

Sorry for not updating recently. I have been busy trying to free myself from the insuperable burden of academic servitude. And after five, long and hard years, I will finally be able to graduate. Hooray. Furthermore, our little family spent our holy week vacationing in Boracay. 

This here photo is of me nilaynilaying in Boracay during the Holy Week in full Randy Santiago "You can't really see where my eyes are looking" mode.

But anyways, here's the update you all have been waiting for.

Recently, an ukay-ukay cropped up like a kabute in our peaceful neighborhood in Quezon City. Since we all love bargains, I decided to pay a visit to this enterprise.

Dealing with ukay-ukay is a double edged sword: sometimes you get great finds at incredible bargains, but oftentimes you end up with crap that wasn't worth the money you paid for.

As for my nice little visit to this particular joint, I ended up with this little gem:

When buying from ukay-ukay, there's always the thought that the previous owner might be lying  six feet deep somewhere.

I got for myself some high-cut gray/light blue and gray checkered Aigle sneakers in near perfect condition for a paltry sum of 800 pesos and a handjob. Isn't that a great deal or what?

Although I never heard about this brand before, this baby right here is a nice looking specimen for high-cut sneaks. I fell in love with high-cut sneakers ever since I started buying Chucks.

Speaking of Chucks, I think every man should own one. Chucks looks great with almost anything and everything. (NB: I want to insert an MSPainted picture of a guy wearing a bahag and Converse Chucks but I'm writing this one on such short notice that I have no time to ninjaedit some pictures). It's a staple. You could never go wrong with wearing one. It gives a certain "attitude" to the wearer.

Chucks paired with coat and tie to give a casual vibe to a wedding. Photo  copy-pasted from http://cdn.styleforum.net/b/bf/bf46d401_n556465633_3685623_1685.jpeg 

I previously owned a black canvas Chucks and a white leather one. I am actually planning to buy one (a black leather one) if I wasn't sidetracked by this little baby.


A few more shots of my new-found friend:

The light blue sole is a nice touch that adds to the certain pleasure  of the thought that it is the  last thing an asshole would see before you kick him in the face.

That's it for now. Hopefully I would still be able to update every once in a while. Adios.
