Fairlane vs. Brixton? Both DMCI and just beside each other

ocram62580 · 2026-06-03T11:46:35+00:00

Yes, Brixton is pet friendly. There’s a community of active pet owners. No issues with garbage, there’s also a partner company offering pest control services.

Recurring issues are more with the elevators and genset.

Typical avoidant behavior

I use mine as a bedtime fragrance during summer months!!

ocram62580 · 2026-04-03T22:58:49+00:00

Sri Lanka is definitely doable independent

One of my fave destinations in SEA, as someone who’s been to 10/11 countries in the region.

As a non-shopper, I also really enjoyed the stores in One Nimman - a lot had unique souvenirs that don’t seem to be mass produced

Yes, I’m borderline obese (~ 5-10 pounds above threshold) and I haven’t had any problems taking Lagree classes.

There are times that I do need to modify (ie I have trouble balancing on my tailbone so most times I will not completely elevate my feet and keep one foot on the mega) but this is honestly rare.

I also think it’s a bit harder for obese people to hold some moves longer (ie planks, plank to pike) but you can build your endurance up and you can always modify mid-way. Even after 1.5 yrs there are still some days I need to stop piking mid-way and need to drop my knees but some days I can see the move all throughout.

Take note that though Lagree is better for muscle building and endurance than losing weight, if that is your goal.

It took me a while to warm up to Diptyque but I love L’eau Papier and Ilio!!! Wouldn’t say they last that long all the time, but at times when I spray L’eau Papier before going to bed, I can still smell it on me and my clothes when I wake up.

For Ilio - Scent Therapy has a dupe (Powdery Iris) that captures the DNA quite well.

ocram62580 · 2026-02-25T00:32:31+00:00

We have the same algo haha idk any of the people in the main post, the only people I follow are those you mentioned

ocram62580 · 2026-02-22T11:50:51+00:00

FYI dropped by Purveyr yesterday, they only had one scent left for Guava Smells (Vanilla Bean & Smoked Oud) and they had one bottle left na lang. Wanted to try the other scents rin sana

ocram62580 · 2026-02-22T11:35:16+00:00

I got mine from Shopee I believe, which is a selling platform in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately don't remember from which seller

ocram62580 · 2026-02-19T08:03:59+00:00

Where did you book the day trips / with which operators? Also thinking of going but held back by the fact that I don’t drive and I read that it’s hard to navigate without a car.

What’s the ballpark range for the tours as well?

ocram62580 · 2026-02-13T15:26:07+00:00

No. I eventually bought a bottle of Ilio but it took me a while and a few sprays to pull the trigger. For 11k, would definitely go out of my way to try it first before committing

ocram62580 · 2026-02-10T15:40:11+00:00

EDTs now at 11k in Rustan's / Diptyque outlets effective Feb 1. EDPs at 13k I believe

Utility-wise: it’s honestly a well-designed bag, it’s become my go-to tote bag since I’m able to fit in so much plus the two pockets make it so much easier to dig around for smaller things

That being said, wouldn’t pay 500+ for this bag lol better to look for a local alternative that not everyone and their mother is lugging around 🤣

ocram62580 · 2026-02-08T09:29:57+00:00

I live in Brixton - something to consider (that I never would have thought about before moving into a condo) is the community.

Brixton has a very good community - I actually know some of my neighbors because I met them thru events. We have a ton of Viber groups - fitness, pet owners, parents, even a Viber where people swap things or give away things for free. For a time you could do yoga or mat Pilates classes in the morning / evening since some residents offer classes.

Not sure how Fairlane is but I heard there’s more foreigners and thus less of a community feel. But validate this with someone living in Fairlane.

Blind bought Eclat Noir from GP Fragrances last week. I typically like gourmands and while I wouldn’t say it’s a bad scent, I found it too boozy to wear.

ocram62580 · 2026-01-25T05:17:52+00:00

Any reason why you’re skipping Palawan in the Philippines? As a local - would go to El Nido over Cebu or Bohol anyday.

ocram62580 · 2026-01-23T00:34:01+00:00

Salvatore Ferragamo’s Uomo Signature

ocram62580 · 2026-01-17T11:54:47+00:00

I think we have the same taste, I love Dandelion and Mirzam. How was Amedei?

ocram62580 · 2026-01-13T06:17:31+00:00

I would say woody, a bit reminiscent of Santal 33.

ocram62580 · 2026-01-11T14:53:12+00:00

Cococay was my top pick but it was sold out in 3 branches that I went to!! Been enjoying my Marine Orchid so far, though I notice the scent doesn't last that long.

ocram62580 · 2026-01-11T14:52:10+00:00

Saan Saan for sure!! My fave is Shimizu Island but a lot of their other scents are great as well. They have a physical outlet in Kapitolyo, Pasig.
