As an initiative to offer commuters reliable, safe, and comfortable mode of transport, the Department of Transportation (DOTr) has partnered with bus companies and operators to launch Premium P2P (or point to point) bus service.

P2P Bus Service is a transport system that takes passengers from one point to another point (or terminal) non-stop. Unlike other commercial buses which have several stops to pick-up and drop-off passengers, P2P Buses only stop on their point of destination.

LONSDALE Challenger Gloves Gold for Muay Thai – Review

In Uncategorized
September 11, 2019
0

Whew!!! Got my stuff signed by my favourite MMA fighter James “Nako” Nakashima

In case you are just starting Muay Thai and looking to buy a pair of boxing gloves for your training, I want to share what I use, and also try my best to give you a helpful review of the 12oz LONSDALE Challenger Gloves in Gold.

This is my first time to have my own gloves. When I started my boxing two years ago, I just rented the gloves in the gym. I think I have used more than 4 types from 2 brands: Twins Special and Fairtex.

I’m telling you upfront, you should invest in Fairtex gloves because Fairtex is one of the best brands, if not THE best brand out there.

Me at Pound for Pound Fitness Angono Gym with my water, hand wraps, and LONSDALE gloves

Why I got the LONSDALE Challenger Gloves

I weigh about 46kg and stand 155cm, so my trainer advised me to buy 12oz gloves. Initially, I planned to buy Fairtex but it wasn’t available at the time of my purchase…

Apparently, a good place to buy Fairtex gloves is the K-1 Extreme Sportshop. I recommend you visit their shop for a guaranteed Fairtex availability. The shop is located at Unit 2, Ground floor, South of Market Bldg., 25th st., cor 11th Avenue, Fort Bonifacio, BGC. Anyway, back to the size of the gloves, if you are a small person (and a beginner) like me, you can buy anything less than 16oz. Do not buy MMA gloves. These are different from boxing gloves.

Also, you should get the sparring/challenger and not the competition or pro boxing gloves. Training or sparring gloves are heavier and thicker than fighting/ competition gloves. If you still can’t decide, it wouldn’t hurt to consult with your coach or ask the staff from your gym.


LONSDALE Challenger Gloves

Price: Php3,055 at Toby’s SM Mall of Asia

Lonsdale is a boxing, mixed martial arts and clothing brand that was founded in London, England in 1960. I found that this brand has been historically worn by many famous boxers, including boxing legend Muhammad Ali. But still, the brand doesn’t have high review ratings for most of their boxing gloves. BUT their gloves are good enough for beginners…

The LONSDALE Challenger Gloves are designed for heavy bag training, mitt work, and sparring. The gloves have layered foam padding for increased shock absorption, cushioning, and overall protection. The gloves have a short Velcro strap on the inside of the wrist. It is possible even for me to put them on quickly myself. The material is not genuine leather.

The gloves feel snug around the wraps. I am also able to make an easy comfortable fist wearing them. At 3 months now, I feel the grip still suits my right hand perfectly. My left hand though feels a bit weird. But I can still train…

feeling (tired or) cute with my LONSDALE Challenger Gloves on

Also with 3 months of using this pair, I feel some small changes with its padding. Not that its already smashed or something. I just feel that it is not as firm as before. But it’s understandable right because I’m using it regularly.

I read from TITLE BOXING blog that training gloves should be replaced every 8-9 months depending on the frequency of use (assuming they are being used 5-6 times per week). So that’s five times per week, 4 weeks a month, 6 months = approximately 120 rounds. I train three times a week, by the way. So yeah, I think I can still use my gloves for another 8 months. The sign of James Nakashima on the thumb part of my gloves will still be intact too!

Even though the material is not genuine leather, I’m glad there’s no sign of disintegration just yet! Also, after months of training, my gloves don’t smell. I think it’s good that the material has significant “breathability” (according to the container). The gloves have mesh moisture-wicking inner palm that provides ventilation and regulation of temperature.

Parting Words

With the price, fit and feel to my hands, padding, comfort, (and style) I am extremely happy about my LONSDALE Challenger Gloves. Truth be told, I got attracted to these gloves because of the color. GOLD! Well, good thing it lived up to its color. The quality didn’t let me down. I highly recommend this pair for entry-level boxing gloves for Muay Thai training. These are made in India, mind you!

World’s first LINE Friends Indoor Theme Park – LINE Village – A must visit when in Bangkok

In Uncategorized
September 9, 2018

After a year of introducing LINE Village Store at Siam Square One in Bangkok, the company opens its much-awaited extension, the LINE Village Bangkok. Dubbed as the world’s first LINE friends indoor interactive park, LINE Village Bangkok is a dreamland for photoholic instagrammers and is deemed to entertain all ages, especially the kid in us. 

LINE Village Bangkok, just like Madame Tussaud’s or Sea life in Bangkok, is an excellent choice when it’s raining outside. But that is not to say you should only visit this indoor theme park when the weather is unpleasant. You can enjoy it rain or shine, preferably with friends or loved ones and that companion who has a flair (or grit) for photographing!

I was able to visit the park with fellow travel bloggers and media friends from the Philippines on our third day in Thailand, all thanks to LINE Village Bangkok, Tourism Authority of Thailand in the Philippines, and KBS Travel & Intertrade Co. — our tour provider for our entire trip around Bangkok.

The day’s tour started with a pick-up from our hotel by our revered “artista” van (my blogger friend Me-an may have called it celebrity van in jest due to much leg room and chic interior). The chauffeur dropped us all off at Siam Square.

If you are coming from any point in Bangkok City, LINE Village is not difficult to find as you can conveniently commute to Siam Square via train, bus, or taxi.

I am not surprised the first LINE Village is built in Bangkok. Travellers from either side of the globe flock to this capital city all year round to shop or see places. I am happy too. It’s more accessible than other LINE Merchandise stores located in Taiwan, South Korea or Japan — countries that still require an entry visa for Filipino tourists.

Journey through LINE Village Bangkok

You can see from the map below the features of LINE Village. There are more than 24 zones all in all.

1. Ticket Office

If you didn’t book your ticket online, you may directly purchase at the ticketing office. Our tickets were provided to us for free, again, thanks to LINE Village Bangkok, KBS Thailand, and TAT Philippines.

2. Entrance Tunnel

From the ticket office, we walked through the entrance tunnel to the mystique library.

3. Mystique Library

At the library, the guide instructed us to find the secret key in order to enter the village. Before he finished his talk, a door slowly opened. One of our companions has already pushed “the key”.

4. Secret Step

We continued through the secret steps. This pathway almost reminds me of Detective Conan anime minus the cute framed photographs.

5. Intro Theatre

LINE characters (Cony, Sally, Choco, Moon, James, Boss, Edward, Jessica, and Leonard) greeted us here.

6. Dazzle Corridor

Appropriately named because of its dazzling mirrors and parallel lines of light, this corridor can be a stylish background for your OOTD shot.

7. Brown’s Room

Apparently, Brown is a bookworm.

8. The Garden

9. Cony’s House

Cony’s House has the most adorable kitchen with props that smelled real. The baked goods made me hungry! It also has monitors where we played some interactive recipe making games.

10. Moon’s Rooftop

11. Festival Square

This is the part of the village where we experienced a roller coaster ride with LINE friends – virtually! It felt real! While waiting for your turn, you can take videos from B612 cameras nearby. the video can be sent to your email.

12. Beat Brown

13. James’ Secret House

14. Dream Theatre


 You have to outsmart the LINE characters here.

15. Jungle Brown

As the name suggests, this is the jungle in the village. Artificial plants teem on the wall and up above the ceiling.

16. Sally’s Nest

17. Jungle Terrace

The greenery continues here.

18. Ice Cave

19. Boss’ Office

20. Choco’s Arcade

This is probably my favorite spot. Not really a girly-girl but most of the time the bias of pink overwhelms.

21. Choco’s House

22. The Infinity

This is like a run way for the fashionistas….

23. Storybook


 I wanted to take more photos here with “movie posters” as my background, but the space has low light.

24. The Finale

The exit from the village leads to the merchandise shop. You can buy souvenirs here from a wide range of merchandise selections.

Why visit LINE Village Bangkok

1. Why not?

You are already in Bangkok and LINE Village is just in the lifestyle center of the city, the Siam Square. It is very accessible especially if you already plan to visit SeaLife Adventure or Madame Tussaud’s. You only need at least an hour to enjoy LINE Village.

Parents and children or peers can effectively bond here. The village is designed to induce a memorable experience through lots of picture-worthy spots and interactive games.

Parting Words

Our digital adventure lasted exactly for an hour and forty-three minutes at LINE Village Bangkok. I believe the greater time in the village was spent snapping tons of photos that were purposely shared on our social media accounts. I am happy we have the images and videos captured on our cameras to help us remember the joyful moments with friends and the overwhelming charm of the village. The experience was totally fun. So if you ever visit Bangkok, treat yourself to some load of cuteness and plan some time to enjoy LINE Village.
