If I had my way, I’d be in t-shirts, shorts, and sneakers the entire summer season. “WTF, but we’ve never seen you in shorts EVAR!” Exactly! Come on gais, give the corporate rockstar slash almost-model a break! I don’t have much of a choice since I’m practically coerced by my day job to be in corporate drab on weekdays and man, those things can be annoyingly uncomfortable even when it’s raining out. Good news is, owing to the Intertropical Convergence Zone, we’re in for a shorter summer season this year as heard from the radio this morning (says PAGASA). Whether that’s a good or bad thing, blame it all on the ITCZ. Heck, we can even blame ITCZ for the hike in power prices since no one has balls big enough to own the boo boo!
On the subject of t-shirts (thank Jockey for supposedly inventing the tee in its current form way back in 1913 per the infallible wikipedia), I had for the longest time been wanting to get myself some David & Goliath goodies. A few months back, I was walking inside the Power Plant Mall and a statement shirt on David & Goliath’s show window caught my attention. It read “Trust Me! i’m a liar.” I went in, felt the shirt fabric, looked at the price, made a mental note to go back soon, and left. Good thing I didn’t buy the “Liar” shirt because, about a month later, I saw Juned wearing it and I’m not so keen on wanting to look like twins with anyone just yet. Sry, Juned-san.
David & Goliath’s shirts are a bit pricey compared to local brands like Bench, F&H, or Oxygen but their well thought of print designs and the material of their shirts have “worth it” written all over them. Come on, there’s a price to pay for premium merchandise and, besides, at least you won’t have to worry about bumping into 5 other fellows with the same shirt you are wearing when trotting along the urban streets at any given day. Maybe 1 but not 5 on a really bad day! For more of D&G’s shirt designs, go see helgr’s choice picks hurr in her latest post.
David & Goliath recently released the Little Losers design line, described as: “a collection of graphic misfits that pay tribute to character stereotypes which still stay true to David & Goliath’s acerbic sense of humor.” There are 57 characters in all but only 21 are currently available in stores. My personal favorite is Mr. Antisocial. Har! These shirts retail for P995 a piece and are available in different sizes for adult men and women.
Below are photos I took of the Little Losers shirts during the product launch in Mag:net, Bonifacio High Street on May 6, 2008.
David & Goliath Store Locations: Bonifacio High Street, Power Plant Mall, TriNoma, Greenbelt 5, Robinson’s Place Manila Midtown, and Rustan’s Makati. Tel No. +632 856-1871 loc 103 & 116

I’ve seen you in shorts, and you have the manliest man-calves this side of Manila. True story.
14 May 2008 at 2:40 pm
Coqs, have you heard the news? Play Underground closed down. Those man-calves are now as puny as a P2.00 pan-de-sal! :( I’ll go find us another wall-climbing venue. Hang in there buddy. Um, why were you looking at teh man-calves again? O_o
14 May 2008 at 2:54 pm
I simply can’t imagine you in shorts.
In other news, I am definitely buying a David and Goliath shirt soon. Yun lang! :P

Wag P0yt. Baka magkaroon ng affirmation na I can wear anything and still look like a rockstar. Yung tipong parang sa akin sinukat yung RTW bago sila nagawa. Ayoko ng ganung attention. Ayoko NA ng ganung attention. Save those for the models, I dun wanna take away their livelihood LOLOLOLOLOLOL
