Project Aurora II 1983 Yamaha Virago XV750

A little backstory about this project:The first time I posted on this page was with my 1985 Yamaha SRX 400 which was my first ever own vehicle. I uploaded several pictures of it that you may have seen already or not. Then a guy named Elvir Troy Pastores inquired if I was to sell the bike but I kindly declined because I wasn't ready to let go of it just yet. So I offered him something really crazy. I told him that I could build him a bike that looks similar to mine and he willingly obliged.

We acquired the bike sometime February and started building by March. We had a lot of delays since the lockdown but here's the output of our late night chats because he's abroad and we deal with different time zones.

Someone asked me to take photos of her tattoo and propitiously... some skin as well. She has been my classmate during our college days and we've been crazy friends for a while. Knowing her, I never thought that she'll get inked nor having her photos taken by me since she's one of the shyest person I ever came to know. But what can I say? People change, right?

KasByDesign May 01, 2013

From what seem to be inspired by an active lifestyle, Kassy Pajarillo, designer of KAS by Design came up with the RAS WRAP after she got into a situation after yoga practice that she needed to attend a client engagement.

"Necessity opens up windows to opportunities," said Kassy. "From what seemed to be just a headband I tried to stitch and use to help my hair stay put during yoga practice and running session, came out this piece of what seemed to be just holes and a very long yard of cloth"

A piece of clothing which can be used several ways according to body type, "I was surprised that it can actually transform into so much more than just a cover up"

Kassy finds designs inspired by what is functional, easy to lug and organic. She also aim to support what is solely made from the Philippines and appreciate handmade items which takes days to make.

RAS WRAP was coined from her supportive friend who was an inspiration and motivation to her entrepreneurial venture. The RAS WRAP is dedicated and is truly made for the goal-getter, jet-setter, and the jill-of-all trades.

When asked about her long term goal, she shared  "I want to help women, perhaps, someday, I'd be able to come up with a foundation for women empowerment"

Add and follow KAS by DESIGN on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram. She'll be giving away a RAS WRAP, soon!

I've got nothing left to lose. March 15, 2013

Taking photos behind a bright or over-exposed light source is one of my favorite things to do. They bring in so much drama on the image.
