Getting out of what I have been doing for the last four years seems daunting yet liberating.

As I am sitting down writing this entry on a rainy day, I have realized that the most crucial action in life is to move forward. It is very easy for anyone to stay stagnant and consistent in a way that being comfortable is creating this niche of routine. The allure of consistency is the most dangerous force that could devour a 20 something individual.

For all of you out there reading this, there is way more than what you have, what you know and what you will ever find in your life. The exploration should never stop and develop a life in which the craving and hunger for something unknown will never be achieved by a simple click, browse and sleep.

The spontaneity is the spark. Once in a while, try being unpredictable and do something aloof.

Quite an exciting year opener to have my passport sitting patiently on my desk for the next project. It was quite different as we actually planned a trip rather than hopping on a trip this time around.

Travelling has been a key to my existence. There is no such thing as 'a place where I belong'. It's all within the pages and stamps in my passport. In a sense, being a modern gypsy has its own romantic essence. However, when you feel like you are living in between places and culture, there is no other way but to embrace the gap you feel about your reality and your dreams. This exponential gap will become the fuel to the brighter and wiser years ahead of you.

New year new me shenanigans that falls short will always be the story of my life. I am not afraid to admit it but I have an enormous pile of work waiting for me this year.

Here comes the new year and it still feels just like yesterday when I was using my camera's self timer to create my outfit posts. The nostalgia kicks in with a dash of memorabilia happening when you scroll pass 10 pages of my blog.

It's quite minuscule when you look at the irritable details of a passed post that is contrasted with a universal language of aesthetics. I am growing exponentially day by day and I am more than grateful to experiencing the world with my readers.

Always focus on the Present and never let your Past affect the Future.

Manuel of Family Model Management Vancouver

It’s a great pleasure to publish the project I did with one of the rising stars of Family Model Management Vancouver, Manuel.

Featuring the designs of a Vancouver local, Alex Davies, this shoot is definitely all about appreciating the emerging talents of the Canadian West Coast.

Holiday season is all about rekindling connections and festivity. It is also known as the season where red signs of sales and markdowns devours the retail floors.

Looking through SSENSE, the sales happening on that site is getting more insane as the season goes by. Percentages after another, the discounted price tags continues to push the items out of the door.

This season, my eyes are on three pieces that are timeless statement and conversation starters. Pieces that creates a natural and effortless essence to your wardrobe with a side dash of coolness.

Saint Laurent Brown Suede Wyatt Biker Boots

Been lusting over these Saint Laurent boots this whole year. The retro classic fashion definitely stretches all the way to 2015 (and the Future, perhaps) with these biker boots.

T by Alexander Wang White Distressed Shirt

We all know that Alexander Wang is the quintessentials of basic pieces in your wardrobe. The white tee and its comfort goes beyond its aesthetic.

Saint Laurent Blue Faded Skinny Jeans

Forget the black skinny jeans, we all know that black jeans are the staple but what about the statement? light washed, faded and anything blue is something that people should delve into more often.

My body is being overwhelmed with such endorphins when you hold my hand and lay your head on my shoulder while we fly over the clouds of the Atlantic.

I think the best part of travelling is letting time pass by day by day and the spontaneity that comes out as a result becomes the feeling that human beings crave over and over again. The architecture that you have yet to see, the food that you have yet to taste and the culture that has been screaming for your attention are all the things that people like me covet in a lifetime.

The moment you wake up in a bed next to your love one becomes the only thing that matters. The itinerary for the day becomes a question of how you could enjoy each other’s company even more.

Travelling is a new sport in my life. The adrenaline that rushes through my veins every time I grab my passport to jet off somewhere is a luxury that I will never trade off with anything. My body is being overwhelmed with such endorphins when you hold my hand and lay your head on my shoulder while we fly over the clouds of the Atlantic.

I love Madrid. Witnessing the transition of the bright blue sky to the saturated navy that envelopes the city once dusk is over and you see the silhouettes of these architectures - sunset at its best.

Madrid is like none others, alright. It’s complexity of a city goes from the intricate alleyways to the hallways of Museo Reina Sofia where Richard Hamilton’s pieces were being exhibited. Madrid is the metropolitan that we have known and familiarize with - from shopping to tourist attractions to restaurants and nightlife, the city has it all and they have one of the bests.

On another note, I wanted to say Happy Thanksgiving to my viewers from Canada, Canadians in another country and to people who simply enjoy Canada. I am very grateful to have the privilege to do what I do and to do it with someone that is very dear to my heart. I am beyond blessed to have the luxury to travel, explore as well as to have all my friends and family interactive in my life.

Eating your breakfast and having a sip of your coffee in front of the beautiful turquoise Mediterranean sea. That is Ibiza for you.

Coming from Barcelona and Valencia, Spain has been an artistic European urban experience for us and decided to have a bit of seashore heaven in Ibiza and Formentera. The European party capital is more than just about the long nights of dancing while being caressed by the the soft breeze of the Mediterranean sea. The island turns into an unbelievably relaxing destination with friendly people that just want to have fun.

| I. N. O. X | Viktorinox |

Paying homage to the Swiss Army Watches, Victorinox has launched I.N.O.X for their 130th anniversary that boasts the authenticity and robustness of the brand.

Travelling with style is a challenging task - you might exude effortless chic but style comes with a bit of an effort and finding the right accessories to polish an outfit could make or break an ensemble. When Victorinox came out with I.N.O.X for their 130th anniversary, I knew this watch would be the integration of style and practicality perfectly suited for jet-set lifestyle and men who value the harmony between design and quality.

I would like to formally introduce I.N.O.X (stainless steel in french) as the one piece of accessory that every man needs to own. Its durability under vigorous circumstances under the raging fire, frozen climate, the gushing rain and its resistance to corrosion proves that this stainless steel time piece is the future of watch technology.

Time pieces are very crucial in a man’s attire. A wrist watch is one accessory that epitomizes the sleekness and detailed personality of a man. It illustrates the power of detail-oriented personality over an ensemble and the appreciation of grooming oneself with opulent demeanor and luxurious ambiance.

I don't mind the muggy rain of Barcelona. It has it's romantic appeal - while sipping a glass of cold and fruitful sangria and in front of you are Spanish delicacies and the person you wanted to spend your life with.

How do I even begin to describe Barcelona and its magic. Barcelona is the city that embodies modernity and embraces the artistic visual appeal of architecture that integrates with the Spanish culture and traditional aesthetic. We enjoyed this city more than any other due to its visually orgasmic paradigm. Every corner is an opportunity to create and open up a whole new adventure within an adventure.

The color and the city's vibrancy spoke to us the most as it is a pleasure to witness such a unique European experience. Walking along the streets of Barcelona is walking under a cacophony of architectural miracles. From the House of Gaudi to the Passeig de Gracia, Barcelona is a fantastic destination within the Spanish region.

Valencia photo diary I: a chronicle of the Spanish travel.

It has been weeks since I got back to Vancouver from Spain and I am still craving the scent and allure of the Spanish region. From the food to the people, Valencia is a quint city full of character to be explored and discovered. The city has its own quality that separates itself from any European destination. There is almost a hybrid of a coastal lifestyle mixed in together with an urban cultural traditions that results in a relax and vibrant environment.

The weather was phenomenally warm therefore choosing an outfit to go out and about was quite challenging. Although I am a avid addict when it comes to monochromatic ensembles, I couldn’t help to showcase my floral shirt from Bench that I got from Philippines last time. It’s blooming print is different than any other botanical prints in the market. I finished off both my Valencian outfit with my classic white Chuck Taylor converse - I live in this pair of shoes this season.

Stay tuned for more blog entries about my Spanish escapade.

Lately, I have been cheating on fashion for airplane tickets. It's better than a lamb skin leather jacket or a new kicks from Rick Owens.

Once you get out of the place where you feel most comfortable in, you would be addicted to that experience of the unknown. The indescribable feeling of trying to be in a place full of people with the same addiction - travelling and exploring the world - is a constant craving that needs to be fixed.

It's that instant invisible feeling that I love the most - not caring about anything except for time and space. Nothing logical matters and your brain is heavily influenced by irrational thoughts.

I think that is why we try to escape.

There are three things men desire when a conversation about wardrobe begins: a quality tailored suit, a pair of Italian leather footwear and a statement timepiece.

The recent Victorinox line of timepieces dubbed as the Alliance, goes beyond the classic and clean line aesthetic of Swiss watchmaking. The details, from the Arabic numerals to the boastful emblem of the Swiss cross, becomes an iconic visual representation of opulence, quality and style.

From the dark gray or eggshell dial options, to the delicately brushed sunray finish to highlight the tones finishing with the polished and satined steel or an ecologically tanned black leather strap, the Alliance is an exquisite piece in a men’s wardrobe.

The sleek and classic aesthetic of traditional watches contrast with the modern touches of technological advancement makes the Alliance the mechanical watch of stylish elegance.

If I get a chance to run away from the noise of today, I would pack my map and take you with me. I want to wake up on a train or on the plane with the morning light beaming on your face beside me.

Thoughts about my standards and taste visits my head throughout the day. While walking in the city observing society and how people's minds work, I think to myself why my priorities differ from an average twenty year old.

When a college student dash out two grand to buy this season's handbag, I see myself photographing the alleyways of Fez in Morocco and smelling the different spices that linger the region.

.Everyone that you meet has something to teach you. But one person will change your life.

In an 80 years span of your life, you will probably meet three to five people that you could say you honestly fell in love with. You could meet thousands of people - if not millions - but love will always differentiate your perspective towards different kinds of people. One of those five people will define what love truly is for you as an individual who exist in this world. That one person will set the standards of what you love from a person. That person will bring you to an ecstatic euphoria of life without you realizing how much you have grown and changed as a person.
