I drove past this kid a few days ago. He couldn’t have been older than 16. He was dribbling his basketball down the street, lagging behind his friends. He did the occasional jump shot, presumably for the repetition of working on his form, but most likely to break the monotony of dribbling. Kid stuff, you know. I drove by him in the new, dark red 2016 Land Rover LR4. The kid froze. Gripping...

View post on imgur.com The 2015 Ford Edge Titanium may be the ultimate sleeper utility vehicle I’ve been waiting for. In all honesty, I wholeheartedly overlooked this car when I got the offer to test drive it. Maybe it’s because I’m still reeling off the cool factor of the Land Rover from last week. Maybe it’s because there’s a lot of Ford cars that start with an...
On one of the last warm Wednesday’s of the year, whisky enthusiasts were invited for an afternoon tasting and lunch at CC Lounge in the St. Lawrence Market neighbourhood of Toronto. Hosted by Corby Distilleries, one of Canada’s oldest and seemingly busiest marketing and distribution companies in spirits and imported wines, the group experienced some of the latest and greatest to hit...
Let’s face it people, we got shit to do. Not only that, we’ve made ourselves into mobile workaholic stations bent on ensuring we are never out of touch on the next email/phone/text/insta-tweet-snap digitally seeping through our eye sockets like some sort of neuromantic virus osmosis-ing its way into our already mushed think-tank. Ironically, this electronic eye mashing that we stress over with is...
The 2015 Land Rover Discovery Sport is the latest arrival in the current trend of utilitarian-focused compact SUVs, combining a sleek new design and raw all-terrain power. Yep, this vehicle can drive you into the watery trenches and keep you safe, dry, and in total control. Unfortunately Toronto doesn’t cater well to the outdoorsy type, short of driving this guy into Lake Ontario, but I...
My trusted friends at Polette helped curate a beautiful trio of frames for this fall. In preparation for the long grind through winter, it may be worthwhile to look into shifting your focus to something a little more classic. Give Your Eyes A Break With e-Polette As Summer 2015 has reached the tail end of its life expectancy, it’s time to get back on the grind. September is genuinely...

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...
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.
