Starfinder Optical, a Korean lifestyle eye wear shop, opened their 11th branch in Ayala Malls Vertis North, Quezon City last March 17, 2018. The company is the first ever Korean concept optical shop in the Philippines showcasing a wide variety of stylish glasses from Korea and at the same time, giving a feel of Korean accommodation and ambiance to their customers.

Expanding the business nationwide, the company still has a lot of plans to open more stores throughout the country.

Jacob Song, Marketing Manager of Starfinder Optical said,

“The reason why we expand our footprint in the Philippines is because we want to share our fashionable and innovative eye wear from Korea with Filipinos. Nifty glasses which they can use on a daily basis”

Starfinder Optical was established in 2007.The company started as a small brand named SFO Design Lab, a store where frames and lenses are modified and designed in line with people’s needs on a daily basis. The store was first established in Seohyun Rodeo Street, a popular place in Korea for urban street fashion.

The company offers fashionable products such as prescription eye wear and sunglasses inspired by the fashion culture of Korea. In the past years, Starfinder Optical launched several glasses, but among those products, one of the well-known frames that has become popular with customers is called 6g. It is a frame that weighs only 6 grams and is made from Air Tetoron Rayon that makes the eye wear flexible and simply durable. Song added, “We are not a typical optical shop. We are a company that considers what people need. We offer highly affordable, durable, suitable and trendy eye wear fit to customers’ needs.”

Unlike other optical stores, Starfinder Optical shops have a unique ambiance where people feel like they are in Korea while looking at their products and being accommodated by the shop’s staff. To maintain this kind of feeling in customers, employees embraced the Korean culture to show the unique kind of accommodation to their people.

So you’ve got your festive outfit set and the fancy gift wrapped for your “monito” or “monita”. All that’s left undone is a party season-perfect hairstyle.

The fresh out of the shower look can be seductive yet temporary. Blame it to tropical climate, it can spoil your appearance, besides making you feel sweaty and stale. The heat and humidity brought about by extreme weather condition, likewise, dries out the locks easily and make it more fragile.

Adding damage to your delicate strands are the chemical contents of various products on hand. From shampoo to conditioner and hair treatment, down to styling goods to groom it to your liking, their harsh synthetic materials jeopardize the natural oil and luster of your mane.

Because you are what you eat, the fate of your crowning glory is in the plate. Your diet must have the correct balance of vitamins and minerals to supply hair with all that it needs to become shiny and strong. So don’t overindulge, especially this time of the year when gastronomic feasts are spread almost everywhere you go. Be careful on what you take in, thinking that it’s also what you feed your ‘do.

Even stress can wear off the beauty and health of the tress. And that’s exactly what you should avoid this Yuletide season. Never put pressure on yourself just to please everyone. Just take it easy, let your hair down and party all night long.

Everyone lives. Everyone dies. However, not everyone leaves a legacy or lives a life that will leave a legacy which is sad because when they are gone, they are easily forgotten. To not be forgotten, you need to live a life that makes a difference in the life of others … to live a life that will be remembered by many with positivity because you did something to inspire them or change their life for the better.

This isn’t a thing or something that about school or around my environment. The past few months, honestly before I turned 18 there were so many problems coming and I don’t really know what to do anymore.

Nobody really knows what I feel inside. I decided to keep it to myself. Not because I am selfish, but I feel that nobody cares, and nobody give a damn on me. Call me OA or something but that is true.

There are times that I really hate myself for being me. For being compared to other people because they are good and lastly I hate myself for being so weak and dramatic. I hate drama, but what the heck happening to me the past few months, I really don’t know.

I know to myself that I love people; I really love them even if they take me for granted, I am always an option and always the second choice. And because I realized that, I decided that I should love myself MORE.

“Nobody will love you, except yourself. Accept that.” This is what I always think. Knowing my own worth is enough for me to love myself. I love my thoughts and emotions no matter how annoying and weird they are. I love it.

Call me self-centered, selfish, bitch, OA, name it. But one thing is for sure. I love myself, I know what I truly deserve and I don’t care if people judge me for being me. This is the true me, the true Katrin. And I truly love myself.
