LOVE FOR SALE
Manila's nocturnal scene has only become lovelier with the opening of the new "I Love You Store" on Makati Avenue. Managed by wundergirls Corrine Ching, Sharon Atillo and Mimi Sanson, I Love You now finds it's fashionable self in the basement of Pilar Place Building on Makati Avenue, far - but not too far - from their original digs at Cafe Saguijo in San Antonio Village. The ambience is fresh, the furniture is funky, and the conversations are artful. And aside from the post-modern designs of their in-house label Amazingrace, the I Love you Girls also carry vintage accessories, indie label music CDs, and currently have artscene badboy Kiko Escora on exhibition. Open from 2pm till 12 midnight, make sure to pass by and a have a chat with the girls after work, apres dinner, or right before clubbing at the gay playground that is Government next door.

Interesting writing style; sort of reminds me of the Lonely Planet style :).
Fun to read about Manila, a place I know absolutely nothing about.
Hi Carlos,
Congratulations with your appearance in the Anniversary Issue of Metro Society Magazine.
You are in good company! Manuel Quezon III is my favorite political columnist.
As a photographer, I found the pictures priceless!
To all your fans and to all the people interested in the local celebrities this is an issue you should not miss.
Only P200 to get a glimpse at the life of the rich and the famous!
hello! i got your link through jessica zafra's blog. i'm amazed how you take photos, what camera do you use? i'm fond of taking food pictures :) but i got no practice since june. i'm a chef and also my husband. anyways, i checked on your resume and you studied at rhode island, wow that must've been an experience. how is rhode island living? we might be moving out there soon. we're praying for it. keep up the good work! i like your blog :)
Justin - Actually I was going more for the edgier Time Out style. But yes. I confess that I am too magazine-y in my writing style sometimes. Used to write for one. It's hard to shake off.
Sidney - Glad you liked it. Ya. It was fun. It was a damn hard photo to sit still for - much more so for my dog. You should see the out takes.
Isi - Rhode Island is wonderful. They have just completed an urban renewal program that has rescued it from being one of the ugliest, crime ridden city in the New England corridor. Good luck in living there. Make sure to try the Italian restaurants on Atwells Ave. And my camera is a simple Canon Cybershot. Totally cheap no frills. I use photoshop after sometimes though...
wow! thanks for the feedback! my husband and i will be praying for the rhode island job. we hope it will push through, its nicer to be in the east coast.
oh we will try those, we're chefs, hopefully to be successful.
i guess if you really have the talent, you don't need a big techie camera. i have been using a sony cybershot for almost 4 years now :) it's great to know some people who uses a simple camera but get the best shots :)
i'll really have to read your blog from the very beginning in order to prepare myself for manila. it's been over 10 years since i've last visited and to be honest, i'm a bit intimidated. i've had multiple friends remind me to take your tours [len cervantes and nic ruffy and romeo candido] and what better way to reacquaint myself and for my bf to learn about our motherland. i guess it's safe for me to say - see you later. :-)
Cool! See you later then!
