Random Candies is Willar Mateo’s debut collection for his clothing line, Salad Day. Though Willar has been making clothes and nursing a following, this is his breakthrough line for the brand. And one can easily see in the clothes how much this young designer has grown.

A salad entails throwing together pieces that are not necessarily alike, disparate even, but somehow combine to produce a sumptuous whole. Accordingly, Willar playfully selected his
ingredients and mixed them up for Salad Day. Tailoring, draping, print manipulation and elements of minimalism were tossed together to assemble Random Candies. All these elements, which he picked from his experiences working at I Love You Store and designer, Gian Romano, add up as a dish that would appeal not only to those are inclined to sweetness, but to anyone who just gets excited over clothes.

To the dawns we waited for. 

We died long ago. 

He smiled underneath it all.

You may now start falling.

Hello, good morning! How you do? 

Oh, brother.

Nirvana is not just a rock band.

And with every morning is another day to dream. 

And all the feelings just want to retire.

Hold your head up and fly.

You’ll learn as much as you think you won’t.

In the stillness, you are there.

warming up for sunrise

just think of it as a space for yourself

The night is young -and so are we.

So cray cray…

Things have been pretty hectic since I came back to work over the summer. There was a lot to handle and a lot to take in. So many changes and so many responsibilities were added that there was no time for dilly-dallying. My life consisted of early mornings and late nights -even up to the next break of dawn. 

I'm writing this in between working on a Saturday in my house -which I prefer, to be honest- and being the daughter that my family hasn't seen in a while. So this would be a quick post just to let everyone know that I am still alive. 

Quick updates:
1. No more pink and peach hair for me. Changed it to purple. Haha! Remind me to take a good photo of it!
2. The dark circles underneath my eyes look like it got magnified thrice. 
3. I had to relearn to love pants or else I would freeze to death.
4. I haven't gone out for at least a hundred years. (Yes, I am exaggerating!)

There's only about less than 2 weeks before Philippine Fashion Week Holiday 2012, and I am more than excited for all of these we're doing to come together. There's a lot of things to look forward to that all of these hardships and sacrifices make it worth while. 

Let me give a quick shout out to Team Hazard! You know who you are!


Check out the schedule above and pick the ones you're going to watch -or better yet, watch everything! Haha! Don't forget to visit our website to know how to get e-invites for the show/s, and follow us on twitter for more information! 

Hopefully, I'll be able to post something up before fashion week starts. 

And oh btw, thank you Status Magazine for the awesome canvas bag!

Question. What happens when you put 3 talented artists to collaborate on 1 song? Answer. You get an eargasm like no other. And I think that's what Converse wants to happen.

Though this isn't a new concept at all, but I think that Converse will be bringing in some sick collaborations for this project. And the best part of it all... it's for free.

Check out the artists and the songs they collaborated on. 

I'm a Goner - Matt and Kim ft. Soulja Boy and Andrew W.K.


Do Ya Thing - Gorillaz ft. Andre 3000 and James Murphy (LCD Soundsystem)

All Summer - Kid Cudi ft. Best Coast and Rostam Batmanglij (Vampire Weekend)

Warrior - Kimbra ft. A-Trak and Mark Foster (Foster The People)

Well I'm having an eargasm here. What about you? :)

xo,

I found out that last Saturday my dear friend, Willar of Salad Day, hosted his first Salad Dye Party which is basically a hair dye party. I only saw their blog post about it and suddenly felt that familiar rush. The kind where I know would only lead to me doing something different with my hair again. 

So a while ago, I asked Willar if he could help me dye my hair. And this is what happened...

No matter what it is, no matter who it is for, and no matter where it is, a published work is still a published work. And I got super giddy when my church's newsletter/magazine finally had it's first ever online issue -with 2 of my works getting published in it. 


I was asked to document our Church's medical mission in Botolan. This would have to be my first published photos. kilig


I haven't written anything in a while so having my poem make it in the issue was a blessing. 


Check out the whole issue here!

No more about our church!

I am finally seeing that light at the end of the tunnel. One more week after Holy Week, then I am officially done for this term. Things have been pretty busy considering I've only gotten back in school this term. I definitely didn't expect that -but oh well. It was bound to happen sooner or later. 

Now, just to say that I wasn't all work -or study, in this case- I got to be part of my school's event called Annuale. It's this annual event where SDA students get to showcase their talents in any field (i.e graphic design, fashion design, animation, etc). I didn't exactly take part as a designer since I haven't taken the needed subjects for this but I got to model my friend's design. 

Let me congratulate not just Adie -who totally made the designs I wore on her own- but to every designer, performer, etc who was part of it. They really blew my mind away with their designs, performance and dedication for this show. If ever I do get to be part of this event in the near future as a designer, I hope I could blow people's minds away too. Haha!

Btw, the time era for the fashion show was 1911 and 2011. 



Thank you to my friend, Jeruel, who came to watch and took these cray photos. I shall be posting the shoot I did for his portfolio soon. Cause that's another story to tell. Chos!

I cannot tell you how much I love sunglasses. I'm the kind of girl who loves wearing them every single day. They  are not only accessories for me. They're pretty much like an extension of my eyes. HAHA! My dad describes me as a person who is afraid of  daylight because I pretty much have them on whenever it's still daytime. So you can just imagine my excitement when I found out about SUPER SUNGLASSES coming to our shores pretty soon! 

These sunglasses by RETROSUPERFUTURE are not only made to be stylish, they are also made in the highest possible standards, making sure that your eyes are best protected in all conditions. Kanye West, Daft Punk, CSS, The Kills, Sienna Miller, and Jessica Alba are just some of the names that were spotted sporting these uber stylish sunnies.

 


 

Lovely lovely colors and such cray designs.

So to my fellow sunglass-lovers here in the PI -and to those who are just afraid of daylight- you'd better prepare yourselves to have one of these babies. It's coming very soon!

I've been wanting to buy a bicycle for a while now. I may have blogged about it sometime ago. So when my cousins and I along with Kim went to the 17th Hot Air Balloon Festival in Clark Air Field and saw this group of bikers with their custom-made bikes, we knew we just had to get one for ourselves. 



But of course I have to try one out. This one was a bit difficult to use, but it looks dope. Haha!

I'm still waiting for the funds from the rents though, but hopefully soon since summer is here. Wouldn't it be nice if I could enjoy this time looking like this? As if! Haha!

Last February 18, I volunteered to document our church's medical mission in Botolan, Zambales. 

Seeing as it was my first ever medical mission, I didn't really know what to expect. All I knew was that it was going to be quite a day -which it turned out to be one by the end of the day. 

The black and white photos are during the medical mission while the colored ones are bts ones.

We all heard how James Franco planned on going into directing. To be honest, I was actually looking forward in seeing his works behind the camera. If you have seen some of his interviews, you would definitely see that he is more than what meets the eye.

Now, we actually can get a sneak peak on how he is with directing.


Check this video and see how James Franco worked behind the camera for 7 For All Mankind's newest campaign coming out this May!



Watching this -and how he worked the camera, I can't wait to see the finish product. And fyi, he even edited this video. 

So whatchaguysthink? :)

Isn't it beautiful to look at illustrations with colors such as these?  I love the rich dark tones underlying the soft light ones, making the drawing look so ethereal and yet strong and captivating. These definitely inspire me. 

I admire artists who make watercolor paintings -huge fan!

Once in a while take only yourself for a journey.
Once in a while lay underneath the heavens.
Once in a while sing like your life depended on it. 
Once in a while dance like no one is looking. 
Once in a while dream of a far away place. 
Once in a while love with everything you have. 
Because we only get to really live once in a while. 
February 03, 10:39 AM
Close your eyes, take my hand
And I'll teach you how to dance in the moonlight
You and me

I want to introduce these 2 people in my life: my brother Patrick, and my cousin, Miko. Two of my fave subjects to photograph with. Check out previous/other posts to see what I'm talking about or the ones with the tags: skateboarding or not yo' cup o' joe.

I just love how this two get along with their differences. You can tell by their styles how different they are, and yet love the same thing which is skateboarding. 

To be honest, I've had enough of taking photographs of these 2 to last me a life time. Kidding! But hopefully, I get to shoot other skaters with them. See italicization as emphasis. haha! But seriously. =)
