Streetwear

FRESH FOR THE STREETS

 Thrifted Blazer, Zara Graphic Tee, 21MEN Jeans, BoxFresh shoes
 I honestly think that it’s not practical to wear blazers in the Philippines especially if your daily routine includes walking in the bustling streets of the metro. I know this because it happens to me everyday in school. I have to wear a coat and tie under the blazing sun every single day. 

There’s a solution for this problem:

Obviously, if it’s very hot outside, take it off. Carrying them around instead of wearing them under the blazing sun makes you look like a hard working person because it means that you have been doing a lot of work. 

Wear them at night. Manila gets down to 24 degrees celsius at night, so it doesn’t make it feel very warm. Plus, it would make you look presentable for a sudden invitation to a night club or for dinner.
 When I went to Tagaytay last month, I stopped by a few thrift stores. It was very hard to find decent stuff for guys, I got excited when I saw the store from the outside but as I came in, I couldn’t find anything. After three hours of searching, I found five items, and this blazer is one of them. 

Thrifted pieces deserve a new life, a second chance in the world. It makes me wonder alot every time I wear thrifted clothes most especially about the history of it.
 I have been looking for these types of shoes for a long time already, and I found them over at Bratpack Greenbelt 5. I am a sucker when it comes to the types of shoes, but if you do know, feel free to comment on this post.
I borrowed all of the wrist wear from my friend Anton Miranda. I asked him where he got them from, he told me that 3 of them were from Divisoria and the other one with the beads colored in black and brown were from Japan.



Apologies for not posting anything up for quite a while, I’ve been really busy and it ruined my sleeping cycle. Every time I wake up, the sun is already about to set and I don’t want to shoot at night because of lighting reasons. Last night a couple of my friends and I went out until dawn, and that made me wake up late again today. I was very lazy to do a shoot, but I decided to just stand up and do it. Motivation is the key haha.


Everytime I wear jeans, I usually pair it up with a graphic tee and that’s it. Recently, I’ve been wanting to layer it up to make it look more interesting. I keep on hearing people say that black and brown don’t look good together but I guess this one’s an exception. The whole outfit reminds me of those artists/musicians in the streets of New York or Europe.






Thank You

LET THERE BE EUROPE.                                                                                                                                                                            If you might be thinking where I was for the past few days, I can’t summarize it into one post.  It’s quite often that my friends and I grab dinner followed by overflowing drinks that keeps us until sunrise. Last saturday was something new. The most popular road trip destination if you live in the south would always be Tagaytay, and that’s exactly where we went. I’ve had a post about Tagaytay before but this one’s entirely different. We went up to a place called Crosswinds. The whole property looked like it was shipped right from Europe. We went on a hike up here and another place that overlooked the Taal Lake, but because it was raining,the fog had covered up the whole view. When I revived my blog last July, I admit that I was pressured to post outfit shots, but I figured out that

I'M Hotel Makati (Is it the newest 5 star hotel?)

Image
Who is the new kid in town? I'M. (yes, that's the name of the hotel) After spending most of my days working in a hotel, I've adapted a feature that subconsciously notices details of service and even the architectural and engineering aspects. I am proud to be a Filipino hotelier and from now on, I will be exploring more of the country and hopefully SEA nations as I will take you along with me. I'M hotel bags the title as the newest 5-star hotel in the district. But is it really a 5 star hotel? The tall building soaring through the skyline of the CBD's outskirts located in Poblacion sparks curiosity mostly because of it's name. Similar to most, I asked why "I'M hotel" and up to now I still don't have an answer. After passing through the property along Makati avenue countless times, it was like a timelapse of the building's construction until a day came where they've put up a sign written onsen spa.

How to disconnect from the world without the need to travel far

Image
It was 3am when we left Makati. After I came back to Manila from my hometown in Cebu last week, my friends and I headed up north to Zambales, which is about a 4 hour drive from Makati City. The scenery we aimed for was beyond the popular Philippine shores circulating heavily around the internet and we hit jackpot with the coves of Zambales.  Most international travel bloggers arrive the Philippines and cover three main spots "Palawan, Boracay and Cebu" . I absolutely love their content and everyday, I get inspired to create my own. My goal is to show people other spots that are barely developed highlighting the wonders of the country despite the common international impression.  Be prepared by the scenery that Zambales has to offer. The flora resembles nordic fjords splashed with savanna imagery on the inner side. The beaches of the coves sparkle bright during sunlight channeling the shores of Boracay and fades to earthly colours during dusk and sunrise.
