Snapshots from Seattle, WA

Welcome to Seattle, the city of rain. What we loved most about this precipitatious place was all the fresh foods it had to offer. Pike's Place public market was not only the home of the original Starbucks Coffee but also served some of the most delicious clam chowder, fresh-made cheese and street-style fried chicken. Then some exotic chocolates at Theo and dinner at Shiro's (the freshest sushi I've ever had!!) sealed the deal for me. Seattle was any Foodie's Fantasy. Watch out for the next leg of our US trip: Ketchikan, Alaska.

Cheers, Matt

Christie Turns 18

My good friend, Christie Lim, turned 18 this week. For a bit of fun, we did a casual, morning shoot at Stacy's because we both absolutely adore the place. Despite the strong rains, we pulled it off and here are the photos from Christie's pre-debut shoot!

Snapshots from Portland, OR

What makes Portland so charming is the friendliness of its people. We really received a warm welcome from the locals. Good thing too, since the weather was remarkably chillier than Manila's. Here are some of the highlights of our trip (mostly documented in meals). Portland is one of the best cities in my book. I wouldn't mind living here after graduation!

Enjoy and drool over the photos!

Cheers! - Matt

Arguably the best cup of capuccino I've had at Stumptown Coffee Roasters

French cuisine at LePigeon

Visited the famous Portland Rose Gardens.

Breakfast like Mother's makes it.
