T-shirts for me, are the best things in the world. I say this because I am  not the type of guy who keeps up with the latest fashion trends. I am the plain-shirt-and-worn-out-jeans type of guy.You will not see me looking  exactly like the probably brainless guy that you have just seen in some fancy  magazine. I find myself as  the worst person to write an article which may  belong the to the fashion and style category. There is a chance that at the end of this article you will feel bad about me and would want to hug me, but you just have to deal with it for now until I find a way to revive Hunter S. Thompson from the grave so he can go Gonzo all over you brains. Believe me, that is impossible since he might be getting drunk with the devil right at this very moment.  

Enough of that. Speaking of t-shirts, this article is actually about the  increasing number of clothing lines/brands that are popping out like mushrooms here in Davao City. I am not talking about people who know how to screen print and who are selling Bob Marley or Nirvana shirts and similar stuff. I am talking about the real deal here--young people in the city who have the knack for designing that are now running actual businesses. The well-designed graphic shirts that they are selling are the new must-haves. They have actually even killed the reign of Artwork in Davao City( that's how is see it though). But of course, I know that these brands don't want to be the next Artwork. Most of them are actually trying to represent a sub-culture, a graphic language of their own;which is actually pretty cool.

If you need to buy a new graphic shirt, then it would actually be a responsible choice for you to check what the local brands have to offer. I used the word "responsible" because I think that this is the best time that you should start supporting local brands, especially in the clothing business. You don't need to worry about the quality because a majority of them get their shirts from Manila which are by all standards the quality that you want. (One of the brands actually told me that the get theirs from Uyanguren which they really don't and that is a very very very stupid thing to do)

Anyway, I made a list of the the top 7 clothing brands in Davao City that you should really try to check out. I judged them not only on the quality of their designs, or their likes on Facebook ( which is practically useless) but as well as the brand's spirit. ( If you want to know more about Brand Spirit- you won't) Just check out the list that I made below, will you? :) Instead of writing descriptions of the brands, what I'll do is that I will just show a photo of my favorite shirt designs (ones that I  would really want to wear) from each brand and then  provide you a link to their Facebook Page. This is to allow you to explore the brands yourself, thus making it  easier for you to choose one which you will support.

This is the first post in this blog.( okay, that was a pretty boring start). I am actually planning to create some sort of a magazine  that obsessively tells stories about the awesome things that are happening inside Davao City.Back then, I thought that the whole thing is a pretty great idea.However, after a couple of minutes,  I thought that it was just the effect of rum. Almost everybody, once in their lifetime, will be in that moment when they thought that they are being a total genius just for coming up with something that they think that will totally take off--especially if they are under the influence of rum, or gin, or vodka, mixed up with  a little boredom and empty sense of purpose( pretty dramatic moment,I tell you). But everybody also almost certainly forgets about it in the morning. A friend of mine told me that that I just had an "Epiphany.I was not really sure if the guy was right. I never really knew what the word meant, until I looked it up just recently. Well, I admit it now, the guy was somewhat right ( smart guy he is). 

So, because  I just had an "Epiphany"(gay), I will try really hard to waste a lot of your time whenever you visit this blog.  Lucky you, I have been trained by Kurt Vonnegut himself, and he made me swear while my hand was inside a pot of burning coal that I would only write things that is worth anybody's while. ( I'm not really trained by Kurt Vonnegut and I'll probably be writing crappy things that will make you sick for two weeks). The plan is to hunt down the best stories that we could share to the citizens of the city who are obviously starving for something new, not fresh, but new. We are not talking about "NEWS" here. We are talking about something else. An experience. A free tour  in the parts of the city where you have never before. An introduction to strangers. A visual and verbal array that will either entice or disgust( we may have to resort to this option) your senses. And sometimes, if we feel  like it, we will try to give you something that are way beyond those things. Like new knowledge, tips, or even take you to the highly impressive magical world of "senseless bullsh*t in the internet.

I had this post-epiphany epiphany. Not really sure if such thing even exists, but believe me, I experienced it. It all happened when I was setting the whole thing up and asked myself this question- " Are there even any awesome stories  in this city?". If you have been living in this city for quite a long time, you will probably agree with me when I say  that this city is nothing special. It's no New York nor Mogadishu. We don't have world famous influences or 12 year old kids carrying Kalashnikovs walking around or picking their noses or  even just merely standing up feeling awesome and all in the corners of our city. Cebu and Manila certainly kicks our city's ass in terms of stimuli offered to the young generation. There is an obvious lag on  how trends in both culture and style are being transmitted to our city. Well, with things like  geography and economy being considered, there is supposed to be a lag. And damn! knowing that shit is depressing. DAMN! So, will there be stories? We are not really sure, but we are confident that something interesting will come up. And once that happens ( deliberately didn't finish the sentence to avoid writing something inappropriately corny). 

By now, you might already have an idea on what this blog is up to and what is it going to offer. But if you are quite confused, then you you are not alone "amigo". I guess that we just have to let life surprise us this time.
