I’m currently in Germany looking for trouble (no actually im traveling) and for art shit. I’ve seen stickers, amazing magazine layouts, graffitis and random doodle in the streets. I haven’t uploaded my pictures yet but I’m quite envious of how urban art is growing in their cities. This week I travelled to Frankfurt, Koln, Heidelburg and now in Strasbourg. Wish me luck that I see more cool shit.
When I go traveling, I really like taking midnight walks around the city looking for cool stickers, signs or some graffiti if I’m lucky. Here’s some of my pictures from Shibuya at 11:00 PM. Hope some of the designs inspire you. :)
Baguio is always the best place to relax if you’re looking for a cold and misty weather in this tropical island. Therefore we, Valerie, Irene, Ate Chu and Ate Aleyn and me, stayed for 3 days up in the mountains exploring. So! Best place I recommend for art lovers (like us) is definitely the Ben Cab museum, located gahd knows where, (just kidding), you can google it up and it’s around 40 to 30 minutes from the main city. There’s an entrance of 100 PHP and kids get in for free but theirs a certain height requirement (so I didn’t get in free). The museum is around 3 floors with a cafe, mini store and packed with different painting themes. I really loved the architecture of the whole place and the paintings are all amazing! So I highly recommend it!
I’m back again to Korea for a short business trip with LG Philippines! It’s pretty awesome to go back in Seoul since it’s my 2nd home and what’s more special is this place, Sinsa-dong Garosu-gil! It’s part of Gangnam district and a few minutes away from Myeondong. The small street is packed of concept cafes, fashion boutiques, vintage stores and some small clubs. I love every part of the street because every building is unique and carefully designed by art lovers and coffee addicts. Furthermore, Garosugil is named as the mini Europe of Seoul, so if you’re an art & coffee lover, you’ll definitely love this place!
I love everything graffiti and urban so I take time to shoot small stickers and graffiti signs in every country I go to, here’s one that I found in the street.
I’m a nerd, so I definitely have the specs but here’s my favorite glasses store in Korea, ALO Eyewear. Their designs are really cute and urban-like, my style of course. Plus their price ranges from 3,000 to 5,000 PHP so pretty cheap compared with the usual Ray Bans.
The above picture shows a unique building shaped out of a bag and yes they sell BAGS. Small stores like this are common in Garosugil and I really like this building because it sells the point. Literally. Hahaha anyways they sell customized bags and other leatherwear.
And! Your visit won’t be complete without drinking some coffee in one of Garosugil cafes. We picked TWOSOME COFFEE for their delicious cappuccino and cozy place. So I really recommend this place for your next Korea visit!
Hello Korea…again! I never get tired with this beautiful city and when Samsung gave me the opportunity to go back, I didn’t hesitate! So our trip involved a lot of factory tour and product presentations from Samsung. We stayed in the beautiful JW Marriot Hotel in Seoul and some of the highlights of our trip was a tour in Samsung D Light showroom, Samsung factory and some quick shopping.
Here’s my favorite part of the showroom! The interactive lounge where you can dance like a kpop star thanks to Samsung technology! I was too shy to try it out but some japanese gals wanted to shine out!
I’m a retail design addict and thanks to my work, I get to see the small details of a store. This picture above is my favorite way to highlight a product!
I’ve come across a cool store in Seoul named, GEEK SHOP. They serve coffee and some high end clothing brands that you only see in HYPEBEAST.COM. The interior is really nice but they won’t allow pictures. SAD. So anyways, here are some of the snippets of my short business trip in Seoul, Korea ♥
Hello from the beautiful Chelsea Market in NYC! My family and I were brought here by our Tita Betty during our stay in New York last June 2012 and of course I fell in love with the place immediately! Unique cafe’s, healthy restaurants, vintage book shops and some graffiti items were being sold inside and the cafe food was great! However my favorite part of our stay was the interior of the market. History say that the Chelsea market was once a factory and currently renovated for artsy fartsy purposes! Art exhibits and event halls could take place in this beautiful place and as seen above, I took some photos of the artworks being exhibited. Sadly I wanted to go back the next day but it takes an hour or something (they say) if you want to visit again. Boo! I wanna go back! (>3<)
