From wild to wald mr lees lexus lx570

Published

on

When it comes to wild builds there are a dime a dozen here in the Philippines.

Whether it be wide-body Italian exotics, full catalog-spec Japanese tuners, or simply clean stance builds they are all over town; you just need to know where to look. Oddly enough though, only a handful of people are willing to go to take a build to Japan’s wild side. This is beyond Liberty Walk, RWB, and the usual Japanese brands we’ve come to know – We’re talking about something closer to what you’d find in that one hall in Osaka Automesse. Seeing full-blown VIP builds done on a proper luxury platform is quite a rare occurrence here in Manila, and one of the few who are keen to play that game is Mr. Lee.

Wald LX570 - 1

He chooses to remain somewhat lowkey in the local scene and often lets his cars do the talking. If you have been to a Stance Pilipinas meet back in 2016-2017, then chances are you might have come across some of his VIP builds before – a green Lexus LS460 and possibly the only Toyota Vellfire (Alphard converted to JDM Vellfire) in the country, both of which are fitted with a Black Pearl Complete body kit. Never heard of the brand? Well, neither did we until we got to meet him and see the big Lexus and rocket-ship-esque Vellfire up close and personal.

Today, the Vellfire still remains with him, but the LS460 has long been sold. In place of the VIP-kitted Lexus’ flagship sedan, he bought something more practical and much larger as a replacement – a Lexus LX570.

It didn’t take long though before parts for the LX570 arrived. At first, it was just the small bits and pieces including the “黑 Kuro” and “Black Edition S” badges. As Lexus Philippines doesn’t offer the Black Editon S Kuro locally, he also sourced all the other dark chrome exterior trim pieces to match the new badges. From the dark chrome grill to the smoked headlights, taillights, and fog lights, he has essentially turned it into the murdered out SUV sold by Lexus everywhere else in the world.

Wald LX570 - 5

This was just the beginning though. Following the small (and big) Black Edition pieces, he wanted to fit a kit as well. Given the popularity of the LX with aftermarket tuners in Japan, there were a lot of options to choose from. At the end of the day, he settled with the complete Wald Sports Line widebody kit.

Wald LX570 - 6

More often than not, you’ll see Wald kits fitted onto 200-Series Land Cruisers roaming around town. Rarely do you see it on its Lexus counterpart. Needless to say, the kit looks good especially with the wide fenders fitted on. Instead of the usual black or white unit, the silver paint helps the LX blend in better (somewhat) on the road even with the Wald kit. It also looks a lot more distinct compared to other Wald-kitted LXs in the country.

Wald LX570 - 8

Rather than going the for the usual wheel options of either Rays TE37s or Homura, Mr. Lee chose a unique set of 22-inch Wald Jarret wheels. In fact, there are only 200 sets worldwide of these wheels in this specific color scheme. From his knowledge, there are only two sets of these in the country. Though its hard to see, look closely and you’ll find large Brembo brakes hidden behind them.

Wald LX570 - 9

Though he could easily picked up the larger 24-inch Jarrets, he says the current ones will preserve the comfortable ride of the LX. While it does look low in the photo, that’s thanks to the factory’s active suspension which can lower or raise the ride height in an instant.

Wald LX570 - 10

The LX570 may not be as wild as some of his previous builds, but knowing Mr. Lee’s penchant for taking his builds all-out, he’s not yet done with it. He is still waiting on some parts to arrive including a Wald side-exit exhaust. Given the on-going pandemic, however, it might be a while before they get here. One thing for sure is, the modifications on this LX will continue.

Wald LX570 - 11

We’re still waiting for the next crazy build to come from Mr. Lee. We don’t know what it is yet, but knowing him, it will certainly be wild. For now, this Wald LX570 is more than enough to break necks wherever he goes. And at the same time, he can drive it around town comfortably thanks to all the Lexus magic in it.

Then again, if he really wants to stand out, he can always bring out his Black Pearl kitted Vellfire, and that one will surely attract attention.

Milyom Digital Minimalism, Creativity, and Content Creation

Published

By

Milyom

Milyom (M) is a structured lifestyle practice and digital philosophy designed to rebuild balance, clarity, and inner strength by integrating intentional movement with mindful technology use. In a world dominated by digital overload, Milyom functions as a restorative framework that brings the body, mind, and spirit into harmony. The main benefits of adopting Milyom include increased mental clarity, reduced stress levels, and improved physical flexibility. This practice is primarily used as a tool for sustainable wellbeing and as a robust content platform for creators seeking flexible revenue streams. The main components of Milyom consist of controlled breathing, mindful awareness, and a thriving ecosystem of digital tools like the analytics dashboard and collaboration tools.

Milyom and its Origins

Milyom (M) originated from the blend of “minimalism” and “digital” to address the critical need for clarity in an age of constant notifications. It is a powerful concept that encourages individuals to streamline digital experiences while fostering genuine connections. The practice was first introduced as a holistic wellness guide by Sara Leen (SL) on January 7, 2026, to help users navigate the online landscape without feeling overwhelmed. It combines ancient wisdom with modern blockchain technology (BT) to create a decentralized environment where creativity meets security.

Benefits of Adopting a Milyom Lifestyle

There are 4 main benefits to adopting a Milyom lifestyle for modern users. These benefits include:

  • Mental clarity provided by reducing digital noise.

  • Improved physical health through gentle movement and spinal alignment.

  • Enhanced creativity by creating mental space for innovation.

  • Sustainable development of personal habits that prevent burnout.

Practicing Milyom (M) helps individuals reclaim their time and mental space. Users often observe an increase in energy and a decrease in muscle stiffness.

How to Start Practicing Milyom: Tips and Strategies

To start practicing Milyom (M), set clear boundaries for your digital consumption. Designate specific times during the day to check emails and social media platforms.

  • Curate your online presence by unfollowing accounts that do not inspire you.

  • Focus on quality over quantity in your digital connections.

  • Implement a digital detox day each week to engage in offline activities like hiking or reading.

  • Utilize productivity tools such as website blockers to keep distractions at bay.

Adjust your approach as needed, because flexibility is key in cultivating a fulfilling Milyom (M) experience.

What Makes It Different from Other Wellness Practices

Milyom (M) differs from other wellness practices because it is not about intensity or competition. Milyom focuses on internal awareness and purposeful alignment. Unlike trend-based fitness routines, each movement in Milyom (M) is slow and connected to breath. This prevents overstimulating the nervous system. While traditional practices may chase external results, Milyom (M) practitioners observe energy flow and mental patterns to develop long-term emotional regulation.

Mental Clarity and Emotional Balance Through Milyom

Mental fatigue and emotional overwhelm decrease when you practice Milyom (M). Milyom addresses stress by placing a strong focus on mindfulness and breath regulation. Slow, rhythmic breathing signals the nervous system to shift into a calmer state. This reduces stress hormones naturally. Consistent practice helps you process thoughts clearly without judgment. Improved focus and better emotional control are common outcomes for those who integrate these strategies into their daily routines.

The Science Behind Why It Works

The science behind it involves the regulation of the autonomic nervous system (ANS). Slow movement, breathwork, and mindfulness lower cortisol levels and improve heart rate variability (HRV). Research supports that these elements are essential for long-term stress management. By enhancing mind-body communication, Milyom (M) supports sustainable health. This evidence-based perspective aligns with modern wellness standards by combining experiential wisdom with scientifically supported principles.

Who Can Benefit Most from Milyom

It is suitable for a wide range of individuals, including:

  • Professionals managing high stress or recovering from burnout.

  • Digital artists like Jake (J) who need to regain creative focus.

  • Students like Lisa (L) who struggle with distractions from streaming services.

  • Creators seeking to optimize their posts and revenue streams.

Because it emphasizes self-awareness rather than performance, it adapts naturally to individual physical capabilities.

How It Supports Creativity and Innovation in Blogging

Milyom (M) supports creativity in blogging by providing a platform that celebrates unique voices. The community aspect of Milyom is pivotal for sparks of new concepts and fresh content. Bloggers can share ideas and collaborate on projects to refine their storytelling abilities. The platform uses AI to assist users in brainstorming ideas, which helps maintain a competitive advantage in the content creation landscape.

  3. Maintain consistency to build trust among followers.

  5. Use templates to ensure professional-quality output.

No Show Blues: Celebrating Tokyo Auto Salon Week

Published

on

By

The second week of January marks the “holy pilgrimage” of every JDM fan boy: Japan’s famous Tokyo Auto Salon. Spanning twelve halls full of every tuning car and genre you can think of, TAS is effectively a 3-day ultimate sensory trip for its attendees. Show grounds aside, countless events are always held around Tokyo during the weekend – completely bringing japanese street car culture to life. We’ve been covering the show for a few years (once during 2019 for S63), however due to the Coronavirus, the show was cancelled for the first time in 37 years.

To somehow celebrate the bond and fond memories formed through attending various meets and trips to the show, we held a small gathering of friends at the Crossroads parking lot last January 13, 2021. Following local COVID-19 guidelines, friends from Stance Pilipinas / Manila Fitted, Legends of the 90s and Buzzhype gathered at the “home turf”.No Show, No Worries: Celebrating Tokyo Auto Salon Week 2

While it’s a far cry from the automotive mecca that is Daikoku PA, the BGC Crossroads Carpark, also known as ‘The Turf’, is as much the equivalent of a local automotive melting pot – meaning this would be the best place to stage a small gathering of folks that share the likeminded ideal of being inspired by the Tokyo Auto Salon.

Most of the cars present during the evening are inspired from our trips to the Land of the Rising Sun. As parts are individually flown in by its owners straight from Japan, the vehicles here are a healthy sampling of what could possibly be encountered out on the infamous highways of Tokyo.No Show, No Worries: Celebrating Tokyo Auto Salon Week 4

Quality over quantity. A proper representation of the culture that set our imagination on fire. Here’s to hoping the Tokyo Auto Salon will be back on its feet for next year.
