SUNRISE

Sunrise symbolizes a new day, a new beginning. 

I have been doing lots of things from the past up to the present. A simple school guy with big dreams.  When I was still in my prep years, I started sketching the usual human stick we always draw for our school projects but at a very young age I realized that I can do more than the weird looking drawing, then I started practicing how to draw & eventually got my first piece an award at school. When I was in my grade school years, I fell in love with acting, from playing funny roles in our class role-plays I ended up being an award winning stage actor. When I was in high-school, I started hosting, I hosted small time events & now I am hosting big events with huge crowd. I also find interest in dancing, from grooving to the beat inside my room, I landed being a member of a dance troupe. During college, I maximized all the skills I have with the different activities at school. I became a disc jockey, an mtv & short film director & got numerous recognition from it. I started my singing career after college. From being a self proclaimed comfort room concert king, I became a big time wedding & event singer. Recently I landed to the world of modeling & eventually found more interest in photography & now I am trying to make a name as an ace photographer. 

We only have one life but it is packed with countless of things that we can experience. I must say I already did lots of things life can offer, but again there's more. Now I am trying to get some space into the blog world. I realized that I have lots of things I can share to the world & one good instrument I can use is the online media. Now I must say "I am a certified Blogger" I may still be a simple one but who knows this can lead to something BIG.

BAG RAID

Bag is one essential thing I always bring everyday when I am away from home & there are also more essential things on it.

Here is an exclusive first glimpse of what's inside my bag & I will give you the reasons why I love these stuff.

Marithe Francois Girbaud Bag, Roxy wallet, Issey Miyake Perfume, MiuMiu Japan aviator shades, Xperia phone & earphones, Face Shop Acne Solution Foam Cleansing Clean Face line, Face Shop BB cream Clean Face line, Maybelline 8 in 1 BB cream, Fix hair clay doh, Amway breath & travel toothbrush.

I am a fan of shades. Aside from its use as a protection from the harsh sunlight
it's also an add on to your outfit, it can make you look mysterious as well.

Internet & music on the go is what this gadget means to me & of course for communication.
When there are some waiting moments at least I have a portable jukebox that serves as an
ice breaker.

I love BB cream, when there are some ambush shows & photoshoots, it's a good
help for you to be picture perfect.

I am always conscious about my looks most especially my face. Oily skin is a no no for me,
so I always have a facial wash that makes me look fresh throughout the day.

I must admit, my hair is kinda "pasaway". It is the most unmanageable hair in the world.
A molding clay would help me tame such brat.  

Everyday, we encounter different people & needs to start a casual conversation
with them.  A fresh breath can start a good impression.

First time I bought this I already fell in love with the scent & ever since I've been
wearing Issey Miyake. I love how people recognize it.

Last but surely not the least is my Roxy wallet. This is a gift given by my mom as a birthday
present last year. It is kinda old but I always treasure the sentimental value, plus there is also
an old Chinese "pamahiin na" it is a good luck when someone gives you a wallet instead of buying it
on your own.

I hope you enjoyed the tour, LOL! Hopefully we can have more BAG RAID from other people on my blog site.

BAGS

I feel naked if I don't have a bag with me. It completes my daily attire. Whether I am off to work, doing a casual walk or most especially traveling I always make sure to bring a stylish, versatile bag that can easily be paired with my attire. 

If woman shop for jewelries or shoes. I go for bags, I admit it's my weakness, I easily fall from being impulsive if I see a good bag.

I usually go for monochromatic colored bags. Black, gray & brown are few of my favorites. It matches your clothes easily & these colors always looks classy.

I have few favorite brands as well, Marithe Francois Girbaud offers nice designs of bags. Local brands like Oxygen also offers good bags that are very trendy & not the "baduy" looking one. For the sporty one, I go for Nike bags. they look really hip & very durable at the same time.

One of the priceless items I have is my old Gucci hand bag, "pamana" by my dad & a Marc Jacobs tote bag that I bought for myself.

My dream bag would be a Salvatore Ferragamo hand bag & a Burberry traveling bag.

FASHION FOR ME

I really don't have any exact definition of fashion. What matters most with my everyday attire is comfort but I make sure it still looks classy & unique. I usually wear basic shirts paired with a good pair of pants, a suit or cardigan & a colorful shoes to contradict the monochromatic feel. I always bring a stylish jacket because for me it is too powerful that it can quickly change an outfit. A basic shirt paired with pants looks too casual but when you match it with a formal jacket or a suit, it levels up your outfit from being casual to semi formal, now you are ready to hit a night party.

Whether I am traveling or simply doing groceries or shopping, I always make sure that I am properly dressed. For me as long as I'm still young I should wear any clothes that I love. I can be simple, hip, outrageous in terms of fashion but I always make sure not to overkill it. More than comfort, fashion is measured on how you mix & match everything, it could be the cut of the clothes, the colors, your accessories, the weather as well, etc but one important thing you need to put in mind is not to overkill your outfit. Be simple but be unique in a classy way. Be confident, you need to put justice to what you are wearing.

ICONS & AVATARS

My sister is fun of collecting icons & cute avatars from the internet. At first I find it really "corney" but later on after seeing her collections (she saved in one folder) I find it really artistic & truly cute. It is like a beautiful masterpieces packed in small bytes of photo.

As inspired by her, I decided to create my own version of icons, took a shot of everything I find cute & made a short story or meaning behind it.

"simple pleasures in life, inspiring words, amazing candid moments"...
