The Russians, the...

How I Plan To Spend The Rest of My Long Weekend
This is meant to be a self-indulgent entry, and contains nothing (I imagine) of depth or meaning to other people, but more of, as I say in my blog description, “…just hoping that the public declaration of my plans and steps will keep me motivated and focused on my goals.”

10.17.2011
It’s been around 3 months since I first started this blog, with the intention to chronicle my steps towards “nomadic management” by 2013. But this is only the second progress report I’ve written thus far. Heh.

Charlie Clothing: A Retail Brand with Global...
Almost 7 days from the time I actually visited Charlie, I am finally writing this entry. And my visit had also been weeks in the making.
I first noticed the brand a few months ago through mannequin displays at the ground floor of The Block in SM North EDSA. I’d always told myself that this “Charlie” brand seemed interesting and that I should pay a visit to the store, but was...
