Get a Fresh Perspective!

June 22, 2018

This afternoon, I attended the Seattle's Best Coffee event. It was such an artsy afternoon because all the guests were able to design our own tumbler. I love events like this where it's intimate and you actually do something nice. 

But the highlight of the event was the artist Anina Rubio. If you've been to SM Aura and have seen paintings on the wall, that's her work. Anina had a live artwork while we design our own as well. The live artwork was interactive as she let us paint and be a part of the live artwork as well. I've been a frustrated painter since I was a kid but painting was really not for me! Haha! 

 Tips for a Fresh Perspective?

  • Look at things with someone else's point of view. Think like a child, an old lady, or whatever you could think of, and all these different ideas will pop in your head.
  • Analyze Things! Look at even the smallest of details you could see. With practice, you'll be able to learn how small things change someone's view.
  • Experiment! Try a new hair color! Try on clothes you've never worn! As long as you keep on trying different things, the more broad your thoughts will get.

Here are some photos from the event.

Photo Blog: Pyrolimpics 2018

March 25, 2018

It was my first time watching the Pyrolimpics which is usually held every year at th Mall of Asia in Pasay City. I never thought watching it could really make you happy. It was so spectacular! For this photo blog, you will see some of the fireworks I took. The roof deck of Shell Residences gave me the perfect view of the fireworks! 

 Shell Residences, like all SMDC residences located at the Mall of Asia Comples, truly showcases the kind of lifestyle and experiences that these properties offer its residents and future homeowners-proximity to the mall, place-of-work, Entertainment City, and front row access to MOA events like the recently held Grand Finals of the Philippine Pyromusical Competition at the Seaside Boulevard of the SM Mall of Asia.

Here's what you need to know about the Starbucks 2018 Planner!

October 31, 2017

As Christmas day nears, the feeling of goodness only grows stronger too. “Giving Good” becomes a habit, as more people exchange smiles and conversations, and join in the season’s heart-warming traditions. 
And every year, we anticipate what the new planners from Starbucks would look like, it has been a yearly tradition, especially for the coffee lovers.
Last year’s blue siren and coffee designs introduced colors to the coffee brand’s collection of planners. This time, Starbucks releases designs that highlight Kape Vinta Card. Filipinos can choose from the blue and green hues reminiscent of the calm of the season and the warm pigments orange that is as festive as the card it frames.
I know you can’t wait what the catch with the new planner, so keep on reading to know!
This is the 2018 Starbucks Planner! It's really different from the planners of the past years because this time, it has a leather sleeve!
The sleeve can be removed anytime you want. Use it whenever you wanna feel professional looking or stick with the vibrant colors of the planner and show your personality. The good thing about the sleeve is it has the same size of all the Starbucks planner, so you could use it in the next coming years as well!
Here is the front and back view of the planner without the sleeve. I believe they stick with Moleskine in this years planner as it still has the same feel of last years version.

HERE IS THE BEST PART. In part with celebrating of Starbucks' 20th Anniversary here in the Philippines, they included a "Kape Vinta Card" in the planner. It's very exclusive that you can only get it once you have the planner. I'll be announcing the next best part in the end of this blog post, so keep reading!
They included their history in the first page of the planner.

Here is a sample of the first few pages that you'll see in this year's planner.
It also comes with a coffee related stencil, and a calendar that turns in to a cup that you could put on your desk.

How will you get one of the planners? As early as November 2, you could already start collecting stickers to get your hands on the much-awaited planners. You get to choose from the three handcrafted holiday beverages to savor the flavors of Christmas. Here they are!

The Christmas Tree Peppermint Dark Mocha, Vanilla Nougat Latte, and the returning Toffee Nut Crunch Latte. These eye-catching, delicious and festive beverages will surely cheer up everyone's holidays! For matcha lovers, you will surely love the Chrtistmas Tree Peppermint Dark Mocha as the whip cream used on top is matcha!

Starbucks stores will be brimming of items perfect for Christmas stockings. Gift Hunters can take their pick from the exclusive collection of curated merchandise, whole bean bags of the returning Starbucks Christmas Blend, and its Christmas tea pack, the Teavana Joyful Medley Tea(leftmost).

On the left photo is this year's Christmas Cup Design, which is also available in the tumbler version. All cups from tall to venti will have this joyful and festive design!

So here is the catch with the Kape Vinta Card you'll get with the planner.
