BOSQUEJO: A Handcrafted Creations of a GENIUS

I stumbled upon a picture of a VERY fashionable lad in Facebook and automatically clicked it and browsed some of his photos. When I found out that he has a LOOKBOOK account, it was a no-brainer, I had to see all of his looks! The guy I am referring to is no other than, Miguel Paolo Celestial. A 30 year old blogger, writer, designer from Manila, who DOES NOT LOOK LIKE HIS AGE!

When I was browsing through his LOOKS on LookBook, my attention was caught by the adornment around his neck.

Little did I know, Miguel Paolo Celestial was the one who painstakingly handcrafted this gem of a neck piece! 

BOSQUEJO, as it is named, is his brainchild. "Bosquejo" is the Spanish word for Sketch, Outline, Draft. The name was initially used for his mens wear blog El Bosquejo , which served as his online diary, which features his daily looks and everything about Men's Fashion.

Miguel, being the man of art that he is, made accessories all for himself, using materials that usually wouldn't be worn as an accessory. Take stuff from the hardware for example. Through his blog and LookBook account, the public seemed to grow fond over his accessories. This convinced Miguel to produce his one-of-a-kind masterpieces commercially.

His pieces, through time and word-of-mouth, became ubiquitous. Appearing in several fashion blogs and publications.

Bosquejo even caught Rajo Laurel's liking, allowing several pieces to be sold his creations.

I am such a big fan of his SACRE Collection, it was an homage to the "gods" that we believe in. He created it in a way that the pieces wouldn't look "churchy" or something ONLY a Priest and a Nun would wear. here are some of his collection off SACRE:

A peek on his HARDWARE Collection:

his AZUL Collection:

DJINN Collection:

this is my favorite off his Djinn collection:

Steel Bard

FELINE Collection:

NUNCA Collection:

Blair Waldorf would be happy!

SAND Collection:

It quite obvious what my favorites are! haha

I CAN'T WAIT to have my first Bosquejo!

MIADORE S/S 2012 CULT OF HALCYON for HOUSE of LAUREL

It's been a long time since I last blogged. I've been pretty busy with work and reviewing for the board exams.

So, I was browsing Facebook a little while ago and stumbled upon an update on my Facebook feeds. A transparent neon box caught my attention. It was from the great  Yekky Borje Balingit of Miadore.

So, this is the picture i was talking about..

It reminded me of the box jeepney drivers use to place their coins. Don't get me wrong! That was not an insult. I was in awe of just how much talent Yekky has. he inhales art, he exhales art. And this is what we get. EDGY. COLORFUL. FUN. Three words that first came to my mind when I saw his designs exclusively for Rajo Laurel's House Of Laurel.

Here are some of his WORK OF ART..

(Fashionistas, tame yourselves! - hahahaha)

CUFFS for House Of Laurel

My favorites are the NEON GREEN and the COBALT BLUE Cuffs.

Now, I suggest all Fashionistas to check their Blood Pressure, Heart Rate, and whatever!! 'coz the following pictures will surely take your freakin' breath away!

Green Coffee: The NEXT Big Thing

not too long ago, Philippines' love affair with coffee struck Davao. Upon the establishment of the (first) coffee shop in Davao, a lot of entrepreneurs followed suit.

fast forward to the present time. . . .

Coffee Shops - still a booming business, Starbucks was introduced to Davaoenos. Davaoenos flocked the establishment like mad dogs, but few weeks later, number subsided.

then came, GREEN COFFEE.

not to be considered a minor player in the Coffee Shop business industry, Green Coffee boasts itself as the FIRST (if not the only) AIR-CONDITIONED Coffee Shop Garden..

Green Coffee is situated at Torres St., Davao City, and is brewing 24/7. peroving that Green Coffee is Davao's "pride" when it comes to Coffee, just recently, Manila got a taste of GREEN COFFEE when it opened it's FIRST Manila Branch, located at Tomas Morato, QC.

what makes GREEN COFFEE so different from other coffee shops brewing in the Philippines? It is it's GENIUS idea of introducing a new addition to their menu ONE AT A TIME. it gives people something to look forward to.

just recently (January 6), they launched their newest addition: Milk Tea w/ Rock Salt & Cheese.

we had Coffee Jelly and Milk Tea w/ RSC (RSC = Rock Salt & Cheese)

i LOOOOOOVE their Milk Tea w/ RSC!! it was like an homage to the Tea Houses that came before them. it reminded me of Serenitea + Happy Lemon.

i Loved it sooooo much, that i just had to order it again.

now on my 2nd serving of MILK TEA w/ RSC!

Green Coffee does not only promise GREAT TASTING COFFEE and TEA, they also serve desserts. such as their infamous, Blueberry Ensaymada.

with my busy schedule, the next best thing along with SLEEPING is being at Green Coffee. it's cozy ambiance is so relaxing and takes off the worries and stress bombarding your mind.

be sure to visit GREEN COFFEE on the following dates as they introduce something new and exciting addition to their menu!

February 1 - Chocolate w/ Rock Salt & Cheese

February 15 - Green Tea w/ Rock Salt & Cheese

March 1 - Dark Mocha w/ Rock Salt & Cheese

'til next time! :)

xoxo, D.

Gino's Burger: ALL-AMERICAN BURGER EXPERIENCE

I have ALWAYS loved burgers and FOREVER will be a big fan. 

there are two types of burgers: #1 - A Burger. and #2 - A GOOD BURGER.

now, having said that, I personally think that GOOD BURGERS aren't the ones sold at McDonald's or it's mortal enemy, the big fat bee, JOLLIBEE!

Living in Davao means not having a lot of choices as to where to satisfy my craving for a GOOD BURGER. - always been a problem!!

BUT NOT ANYMORE!

INTRODUCING Davao's very own, Gino's Burger!

the quaint burger joint is conveniently located at Sta. Ana ext., Davao City. it's near Sta. Ana Church, Holy Cross of Davao College, San Pedro College, and Gaisano Mall Of Davao.

it's simple set-up makes people not intimidated to try out their burgers and it actually boosts the burger joint's popularity as a "simple burger joint that serves great burgers".

their menu:

we had STUFFED BURGER, one of their BEST-SELLERS. and Regular Burger.

STUFFED BURGER

- it's soooooo delicious! it actually reminds me of IN n OUT Burger, a famous burger joint in California. WHAT MAKES IT DIFFERENT is that it's patty actually has bacon in it. the bacon is stuffed inside the patty.

 REGULAR BURGER

- it's a value for your money! don't let the word "regular" fool you! people's mindset is: when we say regular burger, it has nothing but a regular patty and bun. but this has everything you want! it has cheese, onions, lettuce.... for just 80pesos! GREAT BUY!

how it's made:

one thing that's great about Gino's Burger is that their patties are not frozen! it's freshly made upon order. which ensures that customers' only get the best!

COME and TRY Gino's BURGER - - - - - NOW! :)

Gino's Burger is comparable to IN n OUT Burger in California:

'til next time! :)

xoxo, D.

My SHOE DESIGNS..

Men's Footwear seems to be pale in comparison to how interesting women's footwear are.

Out of boredom, i sketched shoes designs of what i consider INTERESTING MEN's FOOTWEAR. Drawing inspiration from our fascination over Korean Pop Music or "KPop" as it's more popularly called and from edgy designs of the GREAT Christian Louboutin.

here's to hoping that i get to have the chance to materialize these designs and put my love of shoes to good use :)

Just Got JAMBAFIED @ Jamba Juice

FINALLY!! America's leading juice brand is finally here in the Philippines! JAMBA JUICE finally opened it's doors to the Filipinos who eagerly waited for it's opening.

The Jamba Juice store located at the Bonifacio High Street Central, Bonifacio Global City, Taguig, is it's FIRST store in the Southeast Asia.

Thanks to the Fuentebellas and the rest of the Max's Group of Companies, JAMBA JUICE now brings delight to the fruit juice lovers and health conscious Filipinos who are willing to pay 3-Digits for a "Heaven-In-A-Glass" Experiece.

My sister and I chose their PEANUT BUTTER MOO'D Creamy Smoothie..and I must say, it's YUMMY - - - WITHOUT THE GUILT!!!

JAMBA JUICE has a lot to offer, not just fruit juices and creamy smoothies..They also serve healthy food options, but we didn't give it a try since we already ate at Mercato Centrale earlier that day.

After getting #JAMBAFIED, I thought to myself (ACTUALLY, I thought ALOUD,hahaha), that JAMBA JUICE is THE New STARBUCKS!

and oh, your JAMBA JUICE experience wouldn't be quite complete without goofing around on their photo booth :)

Be sure to give JAMBA JUICE a try! - - - - - especially on the FIRST WEEK of DECEMBER! Why? David Beckham's a BIG FAN of Jamba Juice and might just drop by at the Jamba Juice store in Boni High :)
