Why this kuripot probinsyana-turned-Manileña chooses Grab to save

2 weeks ago | rappler.com | Saab Lariosa

Have you seen those TikTok videos romanticizing Manilalife with warnings like “P1,000 mo, isang araw lang dito” (Your P1,000 is gone in a day here)? That used to be a big fear when I decided to move to Manila. When I landed my first job, I commuted to and from Cavite to Manila every day. I’d wake up at 5 am, wait through traffic and long lines, and get home just in time to get some rest and do it again the next day.

I wouldn’t say I’m a total sneakhead, but growing up with a shoe-collecting father has taught me a few things about shoes and how most trends nowadays are resurrected.

From runways to TikTok ‘It Girl’ fits, there’s been a shift in what’s been trending in the shoe department.

When the music started at XYLO at The Palace on the night of October 19, something magical happened. For a few hours, the dance floor transformed into a place where everyone expressed themselves freely. Everyone was officially welcomed to the Best Buddies Philippines (BBP) Dance Night: One More Time.

What I wish I knew about periods when I was in college

Oct 30, 2024 | rappler.com | Saab Lariosa

Two moments come to mind when I realized I was finally growing up: Getting my first period and going to college. They may sound completely different, but they share a lot of similarities.

Being in college, like getting your period, requires a new version of yourself.

That’s what Bumble and Dr. Rica Cruz, a certified sexologist, want to address.
