Xina Maldita sweater with a cute owl print design that’s bound to make someone take a second look. It’s so comfy I don’t wanna take it off!

I’ve paired it with a skater skirt I got several moons ago from Gaisano Mall, a studded backpack with angel wings flapping on the side from SM CDO and a pair of skeleton ankle-cut sneakers that I got from a thrift shop. Who said fashion needs to be expensive?

Beer-battered Pizza at Good Fellas

Posted on by Leia Bartolome

Good Fellas is a new pizzeria in CDO that serves freshly baked artisan beer-battered pizza.

My boyfriend and I never had beer-battered pizza before so I knew we had to try it. A two-hour bus ride later…

Stepping in, I immediately noticed the clean, simple interior with a warm pop of color.

image

From the exposed brick wall down to the furnishing, it just screams contemporary industrial chic with a touch of rustic charm – much to the delight of my inner hipster.

image

Everything here is just Instagram-worthy so there’s absolutely no shame if you want to whip out your camera phones and snap photos away. 

image

When we were there, the place looked a little vacant. It was a rainy afternoon after all. Who wants to brave the rain for just pizza right?

image

But a few minutes later, I was instantly proven wrong. At that moment, I knew we went to the right place and something good was already waiting for us.

Oh, hi! Just a little sneaky OOTD right here. Couldn’t resist posting this photo. Hehe 🙂

Pizza time!

We got the Big Joe, also known as the Godfather of all Pizzas. Beer-battered dough topped with cheese and a variety of meat – pepperoni, bacon, sausage, ham and beef. 

Fresh, crispy and bursting with flavor. It was love at first bite. It is a little bit greasy though. But if you’re like me who doesn’t give a damn about that, you’ll definitely love this one! I can’t help but feel sorry for myself that I’m not having it right now. Can’t wait to go back and try more of their pizzas!

Good Fellas is located at Pabayo and Chavez Streets just right above Sweet Leaf Bubble Tea Cafe.

First OOTD

Posted on by xerox

Hi everyone! I know it has been awhile since I posted something on this blog. Just wanna let you know that, yes, I’m still here and I still think about you guys. 

I have been aching to share a lot of things to you like my Butuan-Surigao trip, my first experience as a hired food critic, my business Agent Dolly, my food trips with le boyfie, my aerial yoga and so much more… But somehow, there’s just too much going on lately that I don’t feel like writing about them anymore. Maybe I’ll write about them some other time… However, I cannot promise that. But what I can promise is to try to keep this blog alive.

And in the spirit of putting life back to my blog, I shall now throw random photos of myself every now and then when I have nothing else to post. I know this sounds borderline narcassistic but I swear that they will never be tasteless selfies. Haha!

I’ve been thinking about injecting fashion and beauty posts on this blog for awhile now and I think it’s about time that I should.

For those who don’t know, I used to be an aspiring fashion blogger on Multiply. I would post most of my OOTDs there back when I was in college until they closed their operations.

My main influences were Style Arena, Japanese Streets and Lloyda Lim.

But obviously, I outgrew them all. I now have fully embraced the grungy and edgy chic vibe with the 90’s kind of flair. Those who know me on a personal level know that I identify myself best with this kind of style. My main influences are Jenn Im and Luanna.

But this doesn’t mean I won’t deviate from this style from time to time though. As always, what I wear depends on my mood and my hair color.

If you like to see more OOTDs on my blog, please don’t forget to show some love here so I’ll know if I should post more OOTDs in the future. Also, follow me on Instagram for more updates. Hope ya’ll enjoyed this post! 🙂

The Aviatrix

Posted on by xerox

The Aviatrix is a project that is inspired by the legendary Amelia Earhart. It is a collaboration that I have done with Jed Reyes, Jims Oga and Gio Atinen. 

To say that I am honored to have worked with such amazing people is an understatement. 

Before anything else, I would just like to disclose that I am by no means a professional model nor am I making claims that I am even close to being one.

It is only upon the request of my friends that I will pose for photos and this is something that I have been doing for FUN since I was a college sophomore.

Please click on the photos for a higher resolution and enjoy!

Jed Reyes is an MSU-Iligan Institute of Technology (MSU-IIT) graduate (MSU-IIT is one of the top universities of the Philippines) and is a graphic designer by profession. Even with only over a year of experience in photography, he is already starting to make a name for himself both in Iligan City and his hometown General Santos City. His strengths are street, glamour and fashion photography.
