Planning to go solo on Valentine’s?

Yes, the day of hearts is just around the corner. I’m sure a lot of people out there are planning their romantic dates by booking restos, hotels, together with all the frills of roses, chocolates and cards. If you’re a man with dough, you’d also be buying ice for your woman. And for the woman, […]

The Sharon Top

A top named after me? Yay! Highly flattering, I’d say.
Kidding aside, I was browsing through the tops available at Onatoko when I found the Sharon Top. At first, I was taken aback. I never really thought clothes have names let alone my name. Then I started to notice what the top looks like and I […]

Vest-ed Interest

Hehehe. Okay. Okay. I suck at witty titles but hey, I do try.
