I never know what to wear to amusement parks. Striking a balance between style, comfort and something that won't fly up or twist on rides is an effort in itself.

When shooting Universal Studios street style, it was refreshing to see how other park goers were dressed. Some people rocked the theme park merch from Hello Kitty printed tees to dramatic top hats and lace bows.

But the one thing that surprised me were the friends and couples wearing matchy matchy outfits. Yep, fully coordinated looks - sometimes head to toe or matching the top or bottom half. Coincidentally, Marvic linked me a Refinery29 video called 'How Korean Couples Do PDA'. It explained this modern trend in the context of Korean youth culture and how it's a material representation of affection. In Universal Osaka I asked some coordinated groups and couples why they matched.
Conclusion? It was mainly a way to show friendship or unity and because it's so much easier to find each other.

For me though, it was a jeans, boots and jacket kinda day. Frankly I'm not brave enough to try this matchy matchy trend. And who was there for me to match with? My little sister?

Twenty Fourteen was a major year; a year of clarity, of discovery and endless inspirations. Escaping out of the suffocating high school cycle, it didn't take us long to realize what we wanted or needed to do.

So many chances were taken.

So many fears surfaced and resurfaced but eventually washed away.

Our supportive circle of friends encouraged us to laugh, to dream and to not run from our weird shadows that forever follows us.

Twenty Fourteen was the year that Marvic left his hometown of Darwin to start a new life here in Sydney. And any great city should pride themselves in the wealth of inspiration it provides. It sure gave us plenty of location spots to shoot at, probably more than we can cover in our whole lives. So what better way to thank beautiful Sydney than to do a final 2014 shoot with the Opera House and Harbour Bridge as the backdrop.

This year saw us to do something more with our creativity. Filling our days with aspirations and hopes (and stopping to do the occasional assignment), each idea became more absurd than the last. But as far as New Year's Resolutions go, we're just happy with figuring out how to use this new camera lens.

So to coincide with 2014 Sydney NYE theme 'Inspire', what inspired you this year? And let that continue to do so in Twenty Fifteen.

OUTFIT POST: Holidays



Top: Gypsea Swimwear … Skirt: Spell Designs … Sunglasses: Quay Eyewear

Being whisked away to a tropical paradise is perhaps one of the most refreshing ways to conclude a year. Just a suitcase full of swimwear and a heart longing for escape and adventure. These photos were taken early morning at Catseye Beach, Hamilton Island, Queensland. My travel diary will be posted after the festive season.

Merry Christmas lovelies and stay happy and healthy.

I have an obsession with being busy or a fear of staying static. An ideal day is one where no hour goes to waste and every minute is filled up with something, anything, productive. 

But this obsession gets exhausting. 

At times I crave brief moments of solitude between working two demanding jobs, blogging and squeezing in social activities. When this feeling arises, I retreat to my little hideaway at the bottom of these Marsala (which FYI is Pantone's colour of 2015) stairs. Not quite the claustrophobic Harry Potter set up, I could spend a whole day reading, people watching (not to be confused with neighborhood spying) or during low tide, observing the creepy little crabs that inhabit the river. An entire day spent in either pajamas or as above, swimwear and maxi skirts. 

Admittedly, it is important to have a day where time creeps alongside you instead of its usual bad habit of zooming past the meagre hours. 

--- 

我痴迷于忙碌的生活节奏，害怕静止的状态。对我来说理想的一天是不浪费每一个小时,每分钟都充斥着任何一些富有成效的东西。

但是这种痴迷使我疲惫不堪。

有时渴望在我两份兼职的工作、撰写博客以及社交活动等等当中获得片刻独享的清净。每当这种感觉出现的时候，我就撤退到小小的阶梯下的隐蔽处，这里不会像哈利波特场景那样的幽闭。我可以花一整天的时间来阅读和观看人群，或者在退潮时，观察栖息在河岸上的那些令人毛骨悚然的小螃蟹。一整天就这么穿着睡衣或者图片中展示的这种衣服、泳装或者马克西裙度过了。

诚然，很重要的是能有这样的一天，时间悄悄地跟随着你，而不是在不知不觉中转瞬而逝。

--- 

Kinahuhumalingan ko ang palaging may ginagawa. Ang idolong araw ay isa na walang nasasayang na oras.

Pero, ito ay nakakapagod din.

Minsan, hinahanap ko ang pagiging mag isa. Pag ganito ang nararamdaman ko, nag tatago ako sa ilalim nang hagdan. Hindi kagaya sa movie na Harry Potter. Na papalipas ko ang isang araw na nag babasa at pinanonood ang mga tao. Ang buong araw na naka suot nang damit pang tulog at nasa itaas.

Minsan, ito ay importante na mag karoon nang araw na ang oras ay para lang sayo - kesya kung nagmamadali.

Sometimes we all get stuck in a rut. Between the daily realities and our wandering fantasies, it's difficult to figure out which we should pursue. As children we were advised by adults to 'chase your dreams' and because our immature mindset told us that anyone taller is infinitely wiser, we believed them. As teenagers, the tables turned: talks of exams, marks, University and the 'future' settled in, pushing away the whimsical dreams we once had. 

What didn't cross our kiddie brains was what they classified as 'dreams'. I always thought it needed to be profound mega plans to save the world, or travel to space. But dreams can be smaller and much more personal.

Admittedly, it takes a certain fairy godmother (or father) to urge you on and help you realise the more obscure things you've always wanted to try. And as such, dreams are constant shape-shifters, changing like the wind and evolving with age and circumstance. In our heads, it's never too late to start a new hobby or learn a new craft. Because you never know where it might take you.

有些时候我们固守成规。在日常现实生活与徘徊的幻想中，很难找出我们应该追求的目标。当我们还是小孩子的时候,我们被大人们告诫说“追求自己的梦想”。当时我们不成熟的想法告诉自己，个子高的人一定是超级聪明的智者，我们因此而相信他们。当我们成长为青少年的时候，局势改变了，我们谈论着考试、分数、大学以及安排好了的”未来”，这些推开了我们曾经异想天开的梦想。

没有越过我们孩提时脑海的就是被我们归类于”梦想”的东西。我一直认为，一定需要一个深远的大型计划才能拯救世界或者旅行到太空。其实梦想可以更小一点而且更个性化一点。

我承认，要有一位神仙母亲（或者父亲）来督促我们并且帮助我们了解自己一直以来想要尝试的那些模糊古怪的东西。正因为如此，梦想是经常改变形状的，就像风一样随着年龄和环境不断进化着。在我们的想法中，开始一项新的兴趣或者学习一门新的技能永远都不会太晚。因为你永远不知道这些会带你去往哪个未知的领域。

Minsan napapako tayo sa mga gawain. Sa gitna nang katotohanan at pantasiya, mahirap pumili kung alin ang susundan. Dahil sa bata pa tayo, ang payo nang matatanda ay sundin ang mga pangarap. Dahil sa murang kaisipan ang kasabihan na ang matatanda ay langing tama. Habang tumatanda ang kaisipan nang teenager, nakakalimutan na ang pagarap na unang gustong marating.

Ang hindi natin inisip ay kung ano ang kahulugan ng pangarap. Ang akala ko kailangang ito ay laging malalim. Pero, ang pangarap ay pwedeng maliit lang at makabuluhan.

Gayon pa man, isang tao lang ang makakatulong na mapag isip-isip ang pinapangarap natin. At dahil dito, ang pangarap natin ay laging pabago-bago. Hindi pa huli na mag simula ng panibago. Dahil, hindi mo malalaman kung hindi mo susubukan.

For many, being lazy is a pass-time equally as bittersweet as the pleasure which follows. The inner conflict to relax and the guilt of doing absolutely nothing is one that haunts even the best of us.

But as I’ve recently discovered - from being huddled in bed for countless hours, dressed head to toe in ill-fitted loungewear - there is something artful about being able to watch television for hours on end, and gorging in the luxury of stress-free living. But when life beckons - urging you to jump out of this comatose state – facing the world and dressing the part can be a mission in and of itself.


My way around this? Dressing simply. With classic colour combinations and traditional silhouettes, there is no better way to combat this dilemma than opting for a minimal look. There is a hidden confidence and understated sense of class in dressing this way. Also, putting little effort into an outfit that can be accomplished in the menial time it takes to remove it from the hanger? Now that’s my guilty pleasure - my kind of lazy.

Para sa lahat, ang pagiging tamad ay pampalipas lang ng oras, yan ang mapait at matamis na katotohanan. Ang nagpapahirap makapagpahinga ay ang pakiramdam na nakokonsenya ka dahil wala kang ginagawa, yan ang umuusig sa lahat.

Pero na diskobre ko na, meron palang makatuturan na magagawa kesa manood ng tv at mamuhay ng maaliwalas. Gayunpaman, kapag ang oras ay dumating sa pakiki pagsapalaran sa mundo, ang pag tahak ng landas ay mahirap.


Ang solusyon ko ay mag suot ng simple. May mga pang karaniwang konbinasyon ng mga kulay at may estilong tradisyonal, hindi ka mag kakamali. Ang pag dadamit ng ganito ay may nakatagong pagtitiwala at pakiramdam ng klase. Paglalagay ng kaunting sikap sa pananamit, yan ang idea ko ng pagiging tamad.

对很多人来说，懒惰是一种消磨时间的好方法。任何人都会感受到因为无所事事而产生罪恶感的内心冲突的困扰。

但是最近我发现，穿着便服躺在床上，懒散地持续看好几个小时的电视，享受零压力带来的奢侈感觉是多么的美妙。但是一旦生活促使你从这个休整的状态中跳脱出来，那就应该穿着得体面对这个世界了。

我怎样解决呢？衣着简洁即可。经典色的组合配合传统的剪裁，以此来而达到简约的风格，没有比这样的组合搭配来得更好了。这样的穿着透着一种隐藏的自信以及格调。并且，仅仅只是从衣架上取下衣服，花费小小的力气便能完成着装。这就是我罪恶的快感，我的懒惰。
