2009-09-02T16:29:00.002+08:00

FOR YOUR IN4MATION

2009-09-02T16:16:00.004+08:00

in4mation is comprised of four partners, Ryan Arakaki, Todd Shimabuku, Jun Jo and Rhandy Tambio. The concept of the name In4mation was from a popular cartoon VOLTRON, in which unique characters assembled to become one indestructible machine. The name In4mation and the “plus” logo mark symbolize a unique bond and signify In4mation’s positive outlook and welcoming attitudes attained by exploring varied paths of life. In4mation’s motto, “ I SHALL PROCEED…AND CONTINUE” is a catch phrase taken from an influential hip-hop band that serves as a reminder to follow our chosen paths and to keep on moving forward.

In4mation’s strength in this niche market is built upon a set of varied experiences, from being clothing reps, buyers, freelance designers and pro/am skate and surf team riders. Ryan, Todd, Rhandy and Jun have a resume list that embodies Hawaii’s action sports, lifestyle and retail market for the past decade.

The retail space opened in April of 2002 in Mililani, Hawaii. Once In4mation gained ground in capturing the market share of the areas fashion-conscious youth and young adults, the decision was made to relocate to a key Honolulu retail spot. July 11, 2003 marked the grand re-opening of In4mation. The new location is accessible to tourists and locals alike. Ryan, Todd, Rhandy and Jun are appreciative to all whoalk through the doors, but will never forget their dreams of offering Hawaii a comfortable boutique space with a good atmosphere. The four want every customer to understand the concepts and methodology behind what they’re wearing, and to feel good wearing it.

In4mation is in a unique position to offer Hawaii special things from special places throughout the world, and plans on bringing in trendsetting merchandise that’ll keep people guessing, watching our latest moves. In4mation will always be going against the grain, leading instead of following, with alternative design concepts and eclectic lines and products. The In4mation crew is truly blessed to be able to grow and shape this store, using fresh perspectives that come into play against major lackluster retailers that make mundane attempts at pleasing the masses.

Since In4mation opened its first retail store in 2002, they have established themselves as Hawaii’s premiere retailers of skate and streetwear. Their collective knowledge of business, style and design led to a successful t-shirt line that has since been offered to select locations throughout the world. In April 2007, In4mation opened their design studio and showroom in NYC to launch their mens and womens apparel range.

Creative director Rhandy Tambio, who has worked as a designer for nearly a decade in the action sports and urban market, is heading up In4mation in NYC, while fellow co-partners Todd Shimabuku, Ryan Arakaki and Jun Jo oversee marketing, sales and operations at the two locations on Oahu, Hawaii. Designer Elska Sandor joined the In4mation family to focus on the women’s line. Elska has over 11 years experience in the skate and street industry and was also the co-founder of NYC’s Rookie Skateboards.

The family of In4mants are continually looking to concentrate on what they want to see happen in the apparel market and they are constantly trying to evolve as originality is something that they always try to stride for. Strength in numbers = Power to the people. I shall proceed…and continue.

VS2: DESIGN CHANGES ARTVOCACY EXHIBIT TONIGHT! ARTFORMS AS PLATFORM FOR SOCIAL CHANGE!

2009-08-13T11:29:00.003+08:00

This exhibit is dedicated to art advocacy,

a catch-all term for promoting the arts. This is inline with renowned American designer, Milton Glaser’s Designism movement. An “articulate spokesman for the ethical practice of design,” Glaser and his Art Directors Club fellows birthed the movement in 2006, believing that design has a social intent to create a better world.

Giving form to intent, artworks created for the exhibit will be inspired by the United Nations’ eight Millennium Development Goals (MDG). These goals– “which range from halving extreme poverty to halting the spread of HIV/AIDS and providing universal primary education, all by the target date of 2015 – form a blueprint agreed to by all the world’s countries and all the world’s leading development institutions. They have galvanized unprecedented efforts to meet the needs of the world’s poorest.”

VS2: Design Changes will prove two things:

that graphic design is an ever-evolving art form, and that—as an engine of modern communication, it is an excellent platform for social change.

MANILA DESIGN WEEK 09

2009-08-10T01:04:00.006+08:00

Manila Design Week 2009 gathers all graphic designers – local and international, established and up and coming – to celebrate the emerging graphic design scene in the country today. The first of its kind in the Philippines, it aims to bring Philippine Graphic Design into the mainstream. More than that, Manila Design Week 2009 aims to establish the Philippines as a major hub of Graphic Design and creativity in the region, if not the world.

Everything and anything Graphic Design in all media will be featured – from print and publication design to web and motion graphics, its application in photography, advertising and the fashion world. Other highlights are student projects and design masterpieces by the Who’s Who in Graphic Design. It doesn’t matter what form it takes on as long as it’s Graphic Design.

It’s all about fusion as Manila Design Week 2009 promotes collaboration of artists in these fields in a week-long lineup of events to be held in different creative hot spots throughout the Metro, with each day showcasing a different theme.

As much as it is inspiring, Manila Design Week 2009 is also informative. Along with the exhibits and activities will be daily dialogs and seminars with and for the graphic designer, the everyday individual, and the client; whether from the creative industry or from the corporate world. The fusion, collaboration and celebration of the Graphic Design Movement will all point to one essential truth: Graphic Design moves.

2009-07-28T02:20:00.007+08:00

Watch and learn. And yeah, listen to the crowd's "woah" after every attempt of Kobe.

KOBE IN MNL

2009-07-27T21:08:00.030+08:00

I have been a big Kobe fan since 4th grade, since he was traded to the Lakers for Vlade Divac, since he won the Slam Dunk contest, since he shot that airball during the pivotal playoff game against the Utah Jazz in his early years, since before the afro and after the afro.

So yeah, found out that he's gonna be here for a day.

This is me 6 years ago. Sorry for the blurred pic, so old-school, you wouldn't wanna see it anyway. haha.
Hanes crew, Kobe Champion jersey, braces, and how can I forget my Tommy Hilfiger Carpenter denim! Yeah, adolescence, we go thru stages...haha.
Kobe go against Pippen and Co. during the first round of the NBA playoffs. They ended up winning it all during that season, and the next season.

I just really had to take these. Evolution of Kobe's kicks from Adidas to Nike. Got the first 2 (Adidas) and the last 2 (Nike).

The Philippines is really a basketball mecca. Line for Kobe tickets is like a line for ADMU-DLSU tickets....speaking of which, that game's already 2 weeks from now. Shoutout to WIPCAPS! haha.
With all the hype surrounding Kobe right now ( Finals MVP at recently concluded NBA Finals, NBA Champion, Olympic Gold medalist), you'd really want to see what this guy's made of. So people flocked, not for tier 0 kicks, but for Kobe tickets, the chance to see Kobe train up and coming athletes here in the Philippines and see where it can take you in your pick-up games!

People of all ages love Kobe. Like Mcdonald's.

Looks like there's guestlist to Nike Fort during this particular day only.

Miko Abueg wearing the MLK Kobe 4s. Martin (BTV) and Toots say hi.

The Kobe in MNL kit. Brought my Kobe rookie cards just in case he signs em. No biggie. And yeah, that's a brand of cigarettes from Vietnam.

TATA BATATA!!

OBEY.

Tata screams Kirk Long! haha.

Nico Salva's moment. You'll see him posting 20-20 for thy alma mater soon!! just post 'em up!

At this point, the crowd was like, "Swerte ni Manong Janitor! Kiss naman
diyan!"

What was on this kid's mind at this very moment? WWOTKMATVM?!?!

PAC DIV presents Church League Champions

Now, some words of wisdom from the Church League Champions... who might run for Mayor:

Church League Champions is our project dedicated to anyone with dreams and aspirations. For the particular, who strive to be larger than life, never despising small beginnings, those in the entertainment realm starting off with non-paying gigs. But, who still envision winning the Oscars - these who dream of one day becoming a world renowned surgeon, while interning at the local hospital for free.

We use the basketball theme, "Church League Champions" as a metaphor for all the "underdogs" in life - relating to anyone who's on the unnoticed come-up - compare your world to the likes of a Lebron or Kobe Bryant. Jay-Z always referred to himself as the MJ of rap. Well, Pac Div hasn't made it to the NBA yet - we are content with playing in the intramurals for now - but that doesn't take away our drive to become the best ever, because we believe one day, we will jump from the Church leagues straight to the NBA draft (so what if it hasn't been done yet, we will be the first). Moral of the story is never be afraid to do you, never be ashamed of starting from scratch. See your dream, pursue your dream, and don't look back and you will become champions - Church League Champions

DJ SWITCHTRIK

2009-06-15T23:16:00.007+08:00

Paolo Toledo, DJ/Musician/Writer/Advertiser/Entrepreneur/Toy Collector/Ninja/Emcee/Songwriter in the underground hiphop band, Miscellaneous, also under the Second Story Sounds team.

A collector of urban art in the form of vinyl toys particularly from Kidrobot, Toy2R and Mindstyle. I like the works of Huck Gee, Frank Kozik, MAD, Tristan Eaton, Tara McPherson and Tim Tsui (to name a few). A big fan of Fresh Manila, which never fails to hook me up with toys to feed my young (and hungry) addiction.

Learned to DJ at 19, been spinning both privately and publicly since. Has played in numerous bars and events from Makati to QC (i.e. Ponticello, Temple, Attica, Hierarchy, Mag:net, Coquina, Mint, Piedra, Warehouse 135, Mondial, Alchemy, Fiamma, etc), and even in other parts of the country (i.e. Discovery Shores Boracay for Attica’s A-List Parties).

With the influence Second Story Sounds, he was able to expand his DJing skills and music, and he learned a lot from the rest of the guys. Paolo just kept on watching other DJs and just jamming at home or at the studio, until he was able to invest in more equipment and was able to accept more gigs in bigger events and clubs. Until now, he just does this all for the learning and the fun and of course the music. He is just as big a fan of other DJs, and a student of the craft.

"Spinning is therapy for me. It’s all for the love of good music, good people and good energy. I just love playing music for people, that’s it. The satisfaction of moving a crowd with music is incomparable. That’s why I don’t have planned sets. I just wing it every time and just play with the vibe of the people." - Switch

DJ MIKECONS

2009-05-25T15:55:00.008+08:00

Mike Constantino heads BBC (Big Ben Collective) Manila. Known for its high-end, style-with-substance productions, BBC was responsible for the proliferation of quality Downtempo/Lounge music in the local scene. Bringing in fresh concepts and artists like Hotel Costes, Buddha Bar, Nirvana Lounge, jojoflores' Therapy, Heavy Boogie, Treva Whateva (Ninja Tune), DJ Andy Smith (Dynamo Productions), DJ Moni Pineda (ubiquita NYC), Nostalgia77 (Ubiquity Records), Shawn Tulsi (Cafe Del Mar, Singapore), DJ Kero One (Plug Label) among many others, the Collective is Manila's foremost authority in tasteful, good-vibed music.

As a musician, Constantino (better known as mikecons) was a member of Soul A Capella pioneers, ReVerse, when it spread its unique blend of voices back in the early 90s. To help nurture budding artists in their university, mikecons, together with members of ReVerse and sister band SAM, founded back in 1996 what is now called the Ateneo Musicians Pool. After ReVerse's stint as finalists in the 1998 Metropop Songfest, mikecons went on to play drums for the accompanied reincarnation of ReVerse (Release) from '98 until 2000. mikecons was also part of the original team of MYX Philippines, he went on to head Marketing for the channel, helping propel it to number 1.

mikecons started his love affair with Dance and Electronic Music as the electronic percussionist for Percussive House outfit, Latin Canteen back in 2001. Always just behind the scenes, mikecons is now sharing his tastes and soul to open-eared listeners this side of the world and beyond. A self-confessed and proud herald of the Digital front of music, he was one of the early proponents of the use of electronic means to get the music across and is now one of the Philippine endorsers of M-Audio's Torq/Conectiv DJ Software.

As the main face and sound of BBC, mikecons lends his FunkSoulOthers sets to the scene as a Digital Musician.

He currently shares his love for Soul Music as vocalist for the band, Mike's Apartment. Mike's Apartment has released their much-anticipated debut LP, Lovers/Quarrel last September 27, 2008 under mikecons' independent record label, Respeto Music. Lovers/Quarrel is available in all Music One and Fully Booked branches.

now playing at commune from may 26 - 30. 730-9pm

INSIGHT (Mens & Womens) @ COMMUNE

2009-05-16T13:30:00.008+08:00

INSIGHT Brand Profile:

"Insight Clothing emerged from humble beginnings from Sydney's Northern Beaches in the late 90's as a complimentary line to the already established Insight Surfboards. Fast developing into one of the industries most well regarded and cutting edge clothing labels, Insight, in 2005, is distributed to 28 countries worldwide.

Insight's personality encompasses a lifestyle that surrounds everything surf, skate, art, music, fashion and popular culture. The designers (Tsubi's George Gorrow and Sample and Beauty of Nature's Natalie Wood) don't wish to be pigeon holed into a particular 'genre' that limits the ethos behind the brand.They just want to design clothing that they themselves would want to wear.

It isn't high science, however they do have good ideas and good ideas can be priceless and that is one (of the many) secrets behind the labels success. The brand's credibility is gained though a determination to create something a little left of centre, relaxed, with a sense of truth. To surf, skate and create.

Backing up this mentality, Insight has a diverse team of surfers, skaters and artists all over the world.Teaming up with aerial surf legend Christian Fletcher, Insight continues to bring a certain rebellion and f%#k you attitude to the world of fashion. Skater / Artist Benny Barretto thrashes around with a style that is unparalleled by anyone.His fear of being 'ordinary' drives him to constantly change his style in both art and skating to new levels of originality.

All of these attributes compliment Insight's personality so completely as a brand that continues to push the boundaries of all that it surrounds."

LABOR DAY

2009-05-01T10:07:00.015+08:00

Labor day was first celebrated back in 1903, when more than a hundred thousand workers marched to Malacanang and demanded better working conditions. Ten years later, on the same day, Congress fought for abolition of child labor, just labor standards for women and liability of capitalists. (taken from en.wikipilipinas.org)

Today, we celebrate labor day in honor of the daily grind and "hussle hussle hussle" of the workers and the entire labor sector. We also commemorate the rights of laborers (to COMMUNE) and to rise up and organize rallies and demonstrations for their behalf.

Today we celebrate the hussle hussle hussle of Mr. TK Spidey Mcfly.

"HELLO MY NAME IS Mr. TK Spidey Mcfly! I am a paper chaser."
