Brighten Up print from Cath Kidston's spring collection for 2014. It celebrates the iconic British seaside town of Brighton, which I know mainly because I've read about its famous chain pier - the Brighton Palace Pier and Theater - from a travel guidebook on UK before. One of the earliest amusement centers constructed in the UK (it opened in 1823), it's been said that it ... READ MORE
More Happy Times @ Christmas 2013
I've just finished doing back-up of my photos from last year's Christmas, and thought of rounding up some photos to summarize everything else that kept me busy during the holidays. It's not just the holiday feast (which I wrote about here) that made it merry, but the precious time I spent with my family, good friends and lovable inaanaks! Here are some more snippets ...

The Art Nook at Ka Lui
How's everyone today? I hope you are all safe and nicely tucked at home. Our office decided to suspend work after lunch, to allow everyone not just to get to their homes safely, but for them to be able to monitor the status of their families and relatives living in the provinces hit by island-hopping super typhoon Yolanda. And because all I've been seeing outside is a ... READ MORE

James Nares x Coach
I haven't done a blog post on bags for a while. Perhaps I've reach my saturation point so I just stopped looking. But then I saw this beautiful James Nares x Coach Tote Bag ($798.00) in the arms of my super-friend from college, Pia, during our December reunion and it was love at first sight (again!) for me. James Nares is a New York-based artist known for his unique ... READ MORE
‘The Filipino Spirit is Waterproof’
These are just some of the artworks that have been making rounds at Facebook. I soon learned that Ayala Museum called on artists and graphic designers to submit their works inspired by this encouraging mantra that gives homage to our bayanihan (camaraderie) spirit: "The Filipino spirit is waterproof". Check out more of these inspiring artworks at ... READ MORE
The Duke and Duchess of Cambridge in a Pop Art Collection
Got this news from The Telegraph. Romero Britto, the Brazilian pop artist who combined cubism and pop art in creating pop culture icons for the Dalai Lama, Coco Chanel, Madonna and Michael Jackson, among the many others, turned out to be a huge fan of the royals, particularly Prince William and his new bride Kate. “It was wonderful to create their portrait, I just adore ...
