The Mechanic
Let’s face it, who doesn’t love Iron Man? Well.. I actually do know one, but that’s not the point. Since 2008, I just love how Tony Stark make use of his money. Trust me, if I were given that amount of scratch, I’d come up with something similar or maybe an eye camera that takes photos when you blink. Nothing’s impossible!!
As the number of my vacation days are now...

Sky Down
Most of the time, it’s too hot to put on any sort of cover up. You want to feel stylish but your idea involves a second piece on your top. Chances are you’ll ruin your look by looking haggard after an hour.
Whenever this dilemma consumes me, I always have my polo shirts to save the day. They’re literally heaven sent! Unless tank tops and boxers are appropriate outfit for an...

Beyond The Sea
Besides the unending splash of colors this summer, another thing going on is the need for a dip in the water. I don’t think one can call their summer complete without taking a swim in a pool or in the beach. With the intense heat of our weather, it’s just right to keep ourselves hydrated as much as possible. More water intake also increases our good vibes! (and more trips to the...
Still Going
Went to Laguna with my best buddies last week for some chill activities. It’s funny how there was a swimming pool outside our room just waiting for us to hop in but we decided to spend the majority of the day staying inside and watch ‘Awkward’ haha!
Also made sure we get to take advantage of the great scenery we have that day that we can’t possibly see in the city.
This...
Good Blue
For me, people who wears sky blue are nice.
Unlike on this post, I woke up this day feeling enchanted! I was up right after I opened my eyes, greeted everybody in the house a warm good morning, and actually went outside to smell the breeze of fresh air. I was constantly trying to figure out what’s fueling my good vibes fire that morning until I came up with the conclusion that it’s...

Motion Candy
A sunny day is one cruel weather. As I said on one of my latest post, I’m very much into wearing caps nowadays. I really hate fixing my hair when it’s already on it’s awkward stage. I know I should stop complaining, get a haircut and get things over with, but my bed and computer seat are holding me back. Help!!!
Wore a laid back outfit on this very bright day. A plain white...

Zambales (Part 2)
Here’s part 2 of my Zambales trip with Angel, David and Miko a month ago. If you haven’t seen part 1, make sure you do so by clicking here! :)
All the memorable things that went down on this trip were basically squeezed on the first day. But hey, even though day 2 was just a quick one, we were all able to do most of the fun part.
Woke up early the next day to prepare for the trip...

Today's Theme
First of all, I would like to apologize about the sweat seeping out of my shirt. It was unbelievably hot that day! Was supposed to wear something inside but I was in a bit of a rush, I didn’t bother to look for my missing sando. Eewww!
Anyway, this is what I wore last Tuesday on the opening night of MYOH2013.
Summer for me is all about prints and colors. This shirt is one of my favorite...

My Havaianas' MYOH2013 Experience
Last Tuesday was awesome! I got to experience my first ever MYOH and…my first ever pair of Havaianas. Spell loser.
For the past years, I only get to see photos of this event on FB and other sites. I wondered how fun it is to have the total freedom to design your own flip flops that’s why when I got the invitation for MYOH2013, I spazzed out!!!
A short summary of the event through...

Zambales Trip (Part 1)
This is probably a bit too late and long overdue, but hey! Better late than never!
Last April 6, we booked for an adventurous trip to Zambales, by Byaheng Victory, for an overnight camping under the stars. It was probably the best camping experience ever for me! Well.. it was my first time camping out so it was the worst and best by default.
This was a birthday weekend getaway for Angel and...
Growl
Have you ever experienced waking up in the morning and you just feel grumpy and frustrated for no apparent reason? Last Wednesday was one of those days. I guess it has something to do with the ray of the sun constantly kissing my eyes while I’m trying to sleep and my lips were experiencing some terrible lip burn. GAHH! Bothered me the entire day, until this very moment!
But as soon as I...
Summer Lovin'
I’m trying not to waste a single day of this very short summer vacation I have. Attending events, visiting places I’ve never been before, working out and all, it’s proper time to make ourselves better rather than just bumming around inside your air conditioned room. Though I must admit that sometimes, I’d rather stay at home, lock myself in my room and watch my favorite...
Man in Blue
There are a couple of forgotten outfit shots in my folder that I never got the chance to post. Either I didn’t like them after all or it’s just too irrelevant to post it now (or tinamad ako). Since I can gladly say that I’m on vacation already *insert loud ‘woo’ sound here*, I decided I’ll bring up some of them.
Here’s what I wore 4 months ago at the...

Chill Space
The saying goes: Better to be busy than bored.
Me? I never liked the thought of being busy on something I don’t enjoy doing. If I need to come up with 10 pencil portraits, 10 digital artworks, etc., I’d be dead busy, but I will find myself having fun doing those things. In fact, I’d be dancing PSY’s Gentleman in between! lol. Doing a business plan, papers about the...

Reckless in Red
I miss blogging! I really do. I’ve been drowning in school work this past couple of weeks and I’m pretty sure that I’m currently in the deepest state of it. One more week and I’m free like a flushed fish in the sewer!! Can’t seem to find the time to post something new but I certainly did find the time to take outfit shots. Makes no sense. Weird lol
Went on a much...

Up Next: Zambales!
Before anything else, today’s the birthday of a very special person in my life, please do greet Angel a happy birthday if you have time!
Me and the gang are up for yet another awesome trip!
One would ask: how did you find the time to go out with all the school work piling up? Well, I didn’t. It just happened haha! Angel, David, Miko and me have been planning this trip since January...

Blue Ringed
There’s no arguing anymore that summer is already upon us. That means more aircon, more tank tops, more iced drinks and definitely more ice cream! This is what I wore during the Swensen’s food tasting a few weeks back.
I knew right from the start that wearing anything more than a simple shirt will do no good for me. I don’t like the feeling of sweat dripping all over my face...

Shine Boy
The sun is up, tank tops left and right, sunglasses everywhere, it’s that time of the year again! Summer has indeed arrived, yeah!!
Whenever summer hits, I always feel the need to wear bright colors. The sun is always up so better use it to your advantage and shine with it, as well! Invest on good, quality, colored basics and work your way from there. Don’t forget the mandatory...
Freak On
This was a freakishly hot day and I’m wearing a denim jacket. Why? Coz I was feeling cold in my room I decided to put on a jacket not realizing that outside is the total opposite of cold lol.
Wore this at the PyroMusical Olympics last Saturday with some friends featuring Italy and Netherlands. If you know me personally, you will know that I am never the type of person that wears any...

Fireworks display by the bay while enjoying dinner and the company of my girlfriend and friends. Wow! It couldn’t have been any better!
Last Saturday was my very first time to ever witness the PyroMusical Olympics up close. Before, I only get to see the wonderful display when we pass by SM Mall of Asia on our way home. Luckily, I was able to watch it at its best this time around as...

Outlet Store
We all have our favorite brands and we sure know where they are in a certain mall. I find it tiring to go from one store to another so I tend to eat a lot instead lol.
Outlet Store is like your one-stop shop for your style. Some of the brands that they have is Forever 21, Mango, Fred Perry, Topshop and many more! I was so amazed with all the selections that they offer inside! All my favorite...
Gussy Orange
I always like throwing an unexpected hint of bright colors to my getup. Wearing my favorite denim jacket on top of a black button down, wore my dark blue pants and my gasgas boots. It looks good but it doesn’t really say anything.
So what I did is I tried to throw a pinch of orange just because I knew blue and orange goes together. Back in grade school, I never knew what the color wheel...
Pixel Guy
I’ve had this jacket for quite some time now and every time I make an effort to wear this for my next blog post, something always seem to happen. Finally, I found that perfect day!
I’m more into black/dark when it comes to styling so coming up with this colorful getup is kinda unusual for me. I made it as colorful as possible wearing all the neon colors I can find inside my closet,...
BIG Sale Going on at SM Southmall!
70% off on selected items? I would never miss such a thing! Went straight to SM Southmall yesterday and man, you just feel the amazing vibes that day!
Even before the day started, I’m already deciding what to buy so when the time comes, I can just go to certain places and not waste my legs. It did not happen. With all those signs saying “30% off” “50% off”,...

Twist Eye
School work here, school work there, oh look! There’s even school work under here. I’ve been on a long, long stretch of busy days and I can’t seem to find the proper time to make a blog post. It’s sad that I have lots of things to blog about but as time goes by, they become more and more irrelevant and outdated so I have to totally cancel a couple of them. I’ll try...

Double Edge
Last Tuesday, I was invited to do a talk for DLSU’s LEAP (Lasallian Enrichment Alternative Program) 2013 about blogging along with my friends and fellow bloggers, Dani Barretto, Mikyle Quizon, Miko Carreon and Christine Liwag. It was a fun experience to go back to my old school. I then realized that the last time I was in this very room, I was that shy and timid guy who doesn’t have...
Western Promise
Hey there, partner! I felt like a cowboy or a gunfighter this day, like the people of the Western. Wore a plaid button down and a light DIY vest. All I needed was a cowboy hat, a rope on my holster, pointy boots, a .44 semi-automatic pistol perhaps and “Clint Eastwood” would have easily been my title for this post. But I was just chilling at my girlfriend’s place, so I...

Sundance Valentine's Day Outfit Ideas
Just in case you lost count, Valentine’s Day is just 8 days away! It’s been a long time since I last celebrated this day with someone and I must say that I’m pretty excited to spend it with Angel :) But hey, whether you’re watching your favorite TV show, watching a film in the cinemas with your best buddies or going out to dinner with a special someone, you...
Rusty Gun
There’s something about this combination that made sense to me. A camouflage button down and a rust colored denim jacket. First thing that came to my mind was war lol with all the guns and rusty barbed wires, you know what I mean. I guess I was feeling violent this day to put it simply. Partnered it with my forever favorite black pants + black boots combo. I wore this outfit for a talk...
Walking Oak
Went for a very casual outfit for an ordinary day at school and a chill date afterwards. It was one of those mornings where I didn’t feel like dressing up so much, so I just practically grabbed all my earth colored pieces out of my closet, slicked my hair back, picked up my favorite backpack and I was good to go!
The weather unfortunately is slowly bringing us back to the frying pan...

Bicol Trip (Part 2)
As promised, here is the second installment of our Bicol trip!
I worked on this post as soon as my schedule got freed up because I remember that ordeal when I failed to post the second part of our Baguio trip huhu. Too late to contemplate.
Anyway, here are the last set of photos from our trip to Naga city!

Whew! It’s been a long stretch of days since I last posted anything here. It’s been such a crazy week! Lots of events and school works are slowly piling up fast. Turning night into day is being a routine and I can’t say I’m not used to it, but I don’t like it :( Balancing them all is no picnic. TGIF!
Wore this beautifully done aztec printed shirt from Bench. I dig...

As much as I wanted to show you all 600+ photos from the trip, I find it inappropriate and you might learn things that might change the way you see all of us LOL so I’m gonna divide this post into two. I promise I’ll be posting Part 2 since I...

One of my New Year’s resolutions is to publish my outfit photos on time, so I’m digging through all my photos now and trying to post or at the very least make a draft of each and everyone one of them before it gets too late and irrelevant. haha

The trip was...

What I wore on the day of the shoot of my collection for Crave More at UP Diliman. Commuting all the way from Cavite to this place early in the morning was WHEW, no picnic!

If there is any place I would like to take my outfit shots every single day, UP Diliman would undoubtedly be my number one pick. Lots of...

The last outfit I wore during the second day of our Baguio trip. You can’t call your Baguio trip complete without wearing a bad ass leather jacket!

I’m not quite sure what is it with me and black jackets + striped basic but what I do know is that something good is...

My utilitarian inspired outfit for the second day of our Baguio trip last month. I brought this jacket on purpose because I know exactly where we will be taking our outfit shots, and that is of course behind all these wonderful pine trees.
This was taken at Camp John Hay where an Ayala structure was built. Basically, we were pissed off. Why would they build something so huge on a very...

Went to Baguio with Angel Rodriguez and David Guison last month for some badly needed getaway. David was asked to judge a fashion show there so we basically just tagged along and it was all worth it.
