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.

Up Next... Seattle, WA

Mismatched Cutlery

Exquisite dinner at LePigeon, Portland! The flavor of their Rabbit Pie still lingers on my tongue. A taste of what's to come. :)

Have You Met Adi Amor?

Adi and I go way back to high school. We met during my junior prom. She was the date of my friend, Mike and she was just so friendly and wacky that we got along really well. We didn't see each other again during high school. I met Adi again in Ateneo and it seems like you never really lose good company. Now she's got a fashionista-blogger-designer-student thing going on. As a good friend, I've volunteered to help document her venture.

Without further ado, here's Adi Amor.

Like what you see? Adi maintains her own blog. Visit it here. Look her up on Lookbook too!

'Til the next post. Cheers! -Matt

Downstream (Cinemagraph)

Here's a relaxing cinemagraph to keep your mind at ease in the middle of the busy week.

I could watch this all day! :o)

More adventures to come!
