For short and petite people like me, the struggle is real in terms of buying clothes that would fit our body type. Of course, we can just purchase anything from a random brand, but that would mean compromising our comfort. This is the reason why I was excited when I heard the buzz that Uniqlo was opening in Davao City.

And F-I-N-A-L-L-Y, they opened not only one but its first two stores in Mindanao on two separate dates. The first one opened on May 26 in SM Lanang Premier, and the second one on June 2 in SM City Davao Annex. I'm certain the waiting was all worth it for all Davaoeños because at last, we are now able to experience what Uniqlo is known for—high-quality clothing that is universal in design and comfort—without having to go to another city.

It's cool that Davao now have the brand that matches the city's laid-back lifestyle as Uniqlo constantly develops clothing based on Japanese values of simplicity, quality, and longevity. LifeWear, they call it. Apparel innovations geared toward bringing clothing that's not disposable by evolving the ordinary to produce more warmth, more lightness, and comfort that's not time-bounded.

Here's some of the photos from the VIP and Media Launch that I luckily got to be a part of:

Also, here's some photos of myself during my Hong Kong wearing the Uniqlo pieces I got from the SM Lanang Premier branch:

Men's Dry Pique Polo Shirt (Designed with form and function, the Dry Pique Polo Shirt is equipped with quick-dry and moisture-wicking properties. Made with a classic silhouette and solid color, this polo shirt is a staplee fitting for every body type.)

If there is one state I'm constantly in, that's reverie. At work, I'm always caught staring blankly at just about anything random. There are times when I don't even know what I'm thinking about, but oftentimes, I know I'm just daydreaming about the comfort of a better life.

I went to Verdon Parc one evening, and right then I saw right before my eyes what BETTER LIFE truly means.

Whenever I would watch a movie, I would have to watch it two more times to actually remember anything about it. So, yup, I'm not the movie junkie. But I'm a social media freak, so anything that has something to do with the mobile and digital scheme of things, that excites me. That is why when the Davao Bloggers Society got an invitation to the Media Launch of iflix here in Davao City, I had to give it a go.

The best thing about it is that you get all of these abilities at only Php120 per month for unlimited access with NO ADS.
