09.15.2013 – Derrick Rose, the Chicago Bulls point guard is in town on his final leg for the #drosetour event. The weather was not helping when you travel from the Mall of Asia by jeepney and taking the MRT all the way to Cubao. The event started smoothly as always but not as what you’d expect it to be if you’re a casual spectator of the game. Well namely the game of basketball which speaks the international language which has become the Philippines’ favorite past time. Just being there is electrifying and being a fan definitely makes you not miss seeing an actual Chicago Bulls player.

adidas King of the Road: Running Event for 2013!

07.07.2013 – The annual King of the Road organized by adidas is one event I haven’t missed I joined the fun run in 2011. But never I was prepared for everything this years as things are not what I expected to happen and honestly I was out of shape. There was no inkling that I would run 15K but at behest of a friend so I did signed up to do just that without thinking the consequence. But I know it will leave me bruised up for the next few days after today’s festivities not having prepared for this just for a piece of metal that you’ll be wearing on your neck.

adidas Basketball: Team Signature to Crazy Light!

05.30.2011 - It wasn't a fluke but it was definitely a blessing. If you work hard for it without stepping everyone's toes you'll get there. Close friends will be there to support you for being unselfish. Its how the way of things to live by that brings the best of everyone, but not one individual is gonna be shinning like they earned something. In reality, just like basketball it is a team sport. With that said, it was truly remarkable to be part of something, and it is also humbling to know that when you put something into it and not expect something in return sometimes that dedication pays off and that's where things happening.

The last time I wore this was during the recently concluded Adidas all 24 event just to show my support to the brand. adidas is All-in for the campaign and they're slowly growing not just in sports but lifestyle as well.

I'm All In with adidas and the Chicago Bulls!

04.14.2011 - Yesterday while I was compiling some photos for a friend a messenger rang the door bell. I was compiling some photos for a friend who is about to leave for the US. I couldn't be surprised, but I have to the thank adidas and Green Bulb for this token of appreciation. I've been a fan of the Bulls since the Jordan Era, and that stems beyond having relatives living in that city. Even before the first three-peat there was something brewing in the Windy City, and yet back then I wasn't that basketball untul during the height of the dynasty. Jump after the cut...

Rico Robles pimps Adidas.

08.13.2010 - Rico Robles is the da bomb. He's the sensei and I got jokes. Kidding aside my guy, Mr. Robles pimps Adidas as he is one of the many endorsers of the product. He's been one of the product endorsers of the brand in the Philippines, and has been seen wearing not just a pair of sneakers, buit also the casual lfestyle closthing line Adidas Originals as part of his style. Cool kicks right there with black and red colors makes you want to buy one to own one.

I could say I endorse the product as well as being fortunate to be invited to try the TS Heat Check during its pre-release here in the Philippines.
