Messy
I’ve always wanted to pull off something messy, hence the title. However, I was always uncertain because I might end up looking like someone who did not take a shower for more than a week. Or is that the look I’m aiming for? haha A bit confusing ei? Okay, I was not opting for that look. I wanted to look like I just didn’t care and I think I got that vibe. First thing, it was scorching hot and I’m wearing pieces in gray and black. Second, I’m wearing a pair of high cuts on the beach. Haha I guess that screams, “I don’t care!” Whatever I’m wearing, it would…

Bridge
Last Saturday, I finally conquered the most iconic bridge in Cebu. . . Marcelo Fernan Bridge! I’ve always wanted to take a walk there and enjoy the view. I’ve been passing through the bridge multiple times. When I was a kid, and the bridge has just opened, I was in awe by how amazing it looked. Yeah, there are a lot like it but it was my first encounter with an actual cable-stayed bridge. Sophia and I meticulously planned on when and how we’re going there. Haha The traffic most of the time is crazy there. We had to plan where to park the car. We also had to check…

Mickey’s Bucket
A few months ago, New Era finally opened a store in Cebu! When I got the invite for their opening, I was more than ecstatic about it. It literally felt like I was in a candy store when I got there. They have more than 500 cap designs to choose from! Imagine that! I was surrounded by loads and loads of awesome caps. If you’re like me who just can’t get enough of caps, this global brand definitely has more than enough in store for you.

Send Off
There was actually a time when I was very skeptical about long line shirts. It felt like I didn’t have the confidence to wear one. However, by the looks of the photo above, I am now comfortable wearing long line shirts! Haha This look definitely takes a lot of confidence to pull off because its longer than the long line shirts I’ve become used to. I have a friend who works at ‘Dare to Dream’ who kept on telling me to wear this shirt but I never bat an eye on it because it was way to long for me. I finally gave in and got the shirt because I…

Graphic
My girlfriend and I have our favorite places in taking photos of our ootd’s. These places aren’t just back drops for our photos. We take time to breathe and appreciate the area. It’s the time when we finally have our peace of mind. It’s short lived but at least we get to enjoy it and keep our minds sane. You might get the idea that we are living life easy but that is a huge misconception. Haha These ootd’s, events, and blog posts are just mere inserts to our schedules. Yes, my schedule if flexible but it doesn’t mean it’s empty in its entirety. Maybe we are just creative enough…

Casa Dos
Right about a week ago, I got the chance to try and check out Circa 1900’s newest addition. Casa Dos! In case you are a bit confused, Circa 1900 is a cluster of residences in a quiet but distinguished neighborhood turned into a lifestyle and leisure destination. Casa Uno and Casa Dos are the houses that stand inside Circa 1900. With Casa Dos now open, Circa 1900 is literally bigger and better! The moment I knew that Circa 1900 was opening another house for their customers, I got excited! I got excited because it has it’s own swimming pool! It’s a totally unique concept for Cebu. A restaurant with a…
