Jetsetter Fashion (in the Movies)

More than a good plot, what I enjoy about movies, are the characters who look their part. And since I am still 'jet-lagged' on the lovely dresses I've seen yesterday in the chick flicks: Eat, Pray, Love and Monte Carlo;
I have dedicated my energies into assembling looks on Polyvore and writing about dressing up on travel by taking cues from Liz Gilbert & Meg Kelly.

I find it really nice that her wardrobe adapts to the setting, you can distinguish one country from another, it's like showing how Liz has immersed herself to each culture.


Among the three lead actresses in Monte Carlo, I would see myself wearing pieces from Leighton's character. She is the most practical, staying true to travelling light and looking great on the camera, without having to sacrifice comfort.

And my favorite piece of advice when it comes to dressing up for yourself is to add your own unique sense of style. So the equation to sum this post up is Culture + Comfort + Creativity = Jetsetter Fashion Statement. :)

The Gap

Ira Glass on Storytelling from David Shiyang Liu on Vimeo . "All of us who do creative work, we get into it because we have good taste. But there is this gap.  It is only by going through a volume of work that you will close that gap, and your work will be as good as your ambitions." -Ira Glass What drove me to post this inspiring video is the fact that one work of mine has been finally put up in EDSA. It's like a milestone to be celebrated, but it falls under the kind of work that you're not really very proud to show... not because it's that bad, it's just trying to be good. I am not going to name-drop that certain brand, and I have to say that the artist does not always have the call on how can it be done solely, there are a lot more people involved in the creative process.  This is just the beginning and so I hope and pray that in the near future, I'll get past the stage where I just work for the sake of getting the job done but because it was...

Save Baguio Pine Trees

I have been to Baguio City, twice in my life. The first trip was ten years ago when I was 12. And just recently, last February for the Panagbenga Festival. And because of its cold weather and abundance of strawberries, peanut brittle and choco flakes, not to mention wearing 'Winter Wardrobe' (knitted sweaters, berets, etc.) and most importantly, the picturesque mountain views with towering pine trees, I have come to love the place. So it is only right that I dedicate an artwork for the City of Pines, the summer capital of the Philippines. I may not be an environmentalist holding a picket along with the locals, but this I guess is the best I can do as an artist - to inspire people that the beautiful riches of our country is in our natural resources, we must take good care of it, as stewards of God's creation. I thank you. :)
