Prior to my July road trip to PEI, I was invited to join the “Live Bold” Influencer series hosted by Graffigna, an exquisite wine in the San Juan province of Argentina. While I’d like to think “living bold” is something every man should have already adopted (with varying levels of bravado), that’s rarely the case as there’s just too many guys out there...
There’s nothing more visually mortifying than observing a man in an oversized suit. In most careers, where formal business attire is the requirement, ill fitted suits continue to be the never ending nightmare. From its unnecessarily wide pant legs to bunched-up cuffs; from its football pad shoulders to its box-like cut; the mysterious, draping phenomenon latches on to the psyche of the...

Dark Souls II is quite possibly one of the most brilliant games ever made, and it will certainly go down in history as something that captured the true essence of classic gaming with modern-day graphics. Despite its wonderful game play, however, it would seem that not everyone appreciates the title for what it is and it’s pretty understandable why. Dark Souls II is like the Van Gogh of this...
Guess what, y’all! I’m officially a Teaching Assistant. The Smirnoff Double Blackademy is a vodka-driven collective that inspires true knowledge in the wake of the average. And I’ll be your mentor in the process. As part of my initiation, I received a neat box of stuff that the every day guy simply needs in their quest to #StepUp past the dreaded average. For the next few cold...
Big things come in small, little packages. You could say that the Honda Fit is one such vehicle that packs a punch, and by punch, I mean anything you can possibly toss into it. I got a call from Honda a few weeks ago, with an offer to take on this big things come in small, little packages challenge by pairing me up with one of their prototypical Honda Fit buyers: the busy downtown guy in need of...
EL TAXI LOCO, as it was called. Some of you may have noticed the crazy taxi casually taking the streets of Toronto last week. The cab, driven by a super-smiley man in a Cuban hat, picked up people around the city for a casual drive to whatever their destination may have been. It was a super cute initiative spearheaded by Transat Holidays, as an ode to the 40’s and 50’s style cars that...
Without a doubt one of the coolest things to happen in 2014, Audi spent this past weekend live broadcasting their latest innovation by introducing the world’s top performing car.. without a driver. Rippin’ the corners inside the Hockenheim Grand Prix circuit at up to 240 km/h, the driverless Audi RS 7 Concept car floored spectators both in the stands and online via Audi MediaTV...
RAMONE is a composition of non-fiction short stories and introspections by Reggie Tan.
Howdy. I first started blogging on RAMONE.ca in 2009, with a dedicated focus on men's lifestyle and stories of inebriation. Shortly after, I was listed as a top Canadian blogger, and over the next decade, I've collaborated with hundreds of notable brands.
Then I grew up. As of late, I've graduated to writing about life experiences, well-researched opinions, and hopefully a few things you might find useful.
This is my memory vault.
About me－Power user of technology. Style guy. Avid gamer. Obsessed with the Cybertruck. Lyrical poet. I like my beats bottom heavy. Madaline is ∞. Only God can judge me. INTP. Birthed in the East Coast of Canada by a pair of cool Filipino parents. Cautiously ADHD. I prefer my whisky neat with a tumbler of room-temp water. Otherwise, a pint of your best draught will do.
I'm a member of the anti-social club. Happily retired from Facebook or Instagram. My verified Twitter account was recently hacked. I do use LinkedIn for business.
