I am My Person Campaign: a Manhattan Portage giveaway



"WHY FIT IN IF YOU CAN STAND OUT?" It is the question of all questions. Often, we take it for granted, left unanswered or overlooked; but it's always great to take a moment and ponder on it. Why should we bother fit in if we're meant to stand out?

I am a people-person. No matter how comfortable I get with solitude, I love watching people. Sometimes I stay in "people-places" like malls or coffee shops just to watch people. As a writer, I love observing how different people act differently, sound differently, talk differently, laugh differently. I love how we, as a race, share so much in common among each other yet also carry so much differences. It is most interesting to me how we, as a race, continue to find common ground when it comes to expressing our personalities and passions while remaining loyal to our own personal uniqueness.

This May, I want us to celebrate that. Celebrate YOU! Surely we all share days of insecurities and what-not; but this month, let's try our best to go beyond those dark days and just channel our inner awesomeness and let it shine through!

We are most fortunate that one of street fashion's heritage piece is now available in the Philippines! No need to fly to New York just to get your hands on a Manhattan Portage bag. This line of specially-made trademark messenger bags (though they do have a wide line of backpacks, tote bags, laptop bags, and more) is ripe for your picking exclusively at Urban Athletics Greenbelt 3.


As perfect follow through to my Let's Celebrate YOU campaign, yours truly would like to open up an online giveaway to help you and make it more interesting and rewarding for you to really set your greatness free!

I AM MY PERSON CAMPAIGN: a Manhattan Portage giveaway

No purchase required in this contest!

New York is known for it's endless posibillities. Novels, Movies, Songs have been written for the beloved land and I am most unrelectant to see New Yorkers as quite an interesting bunch as well. To live in the city that never sleeps must be quite a challenge but when you say New York fashion -slash- New York streets, isn't it quite difficult not to imagine the pages of a magazine mixed with an electric/eccentric expression of queer blends of personalities through fashion?

Now... we all know that New York is halfway across time, but like our interesting way of finding commonalities with the rest of the human race (no matter how much of a stranger they are), Asian streets and Asian street fashion share a similar vibe with New York City's energetic fashion. Why shouldn't we? We can now carry a heart of New York street fashion on our sleeves...shoulders that is.

Manhattan Portage, with its years of quality production and collaboration with different artists, is now set to create a storm in Manila streets. And you... you who are reading this is invited to join that wave!

Manhattan Portage looks great in an Asian background, don't you think?
