Holiday Rush!!!

With barely less than a week before the boxing day, the influx of people going to the malls are rapidly increasing - some are taking advantage of avoiding traffic during rush hours, long queue in stores particularly for those outlets having "BIG SALES", whilst others are now busy on their shopping list and making sure that they have everything for the Christmas day - unfortunately in my case - it looks like there is no big rush that is going to happen. Not only that I did cut down from my expenses, I am also saving some for my upcoming vacation which is fast approaching...pretty ecstatic!!!

Since we were avoiding rush places like Abu Dhabi Mall and Marina Mall , my fellow blogger cum photographer, Miggy and I decided to walk through the nearby Mall which is called The Galleria - Abu Dhabi's finest and luxurious mall located in Al Maryah island.  There's magnificent views across the waterfront and the city's landscape showing the true glamour of the metropolis!!! What an awesome place in the region!!!

I would truly recommend this spectacular place for those haven't been in this part of the city - it is for you to explore and find out what this place could offer!!!! In the meantime, please enjoy the sightings below;

Manila - A tourist in me!!!

Traditional Hat : "Salakot" from Quiapo
Top Tanks : Cotton On
Sweat pants : Cotton On
Hi Top Sneakers : Maison Martin Margiela

While on leave for almost two weeks, I haven't decided whether to go to Brazil for the FIFA World Cup or Casablanca in Morocco  for a nature trip but being a solo traveler sometimes can be scary  to visit any of these countries which has a reputation of a not so safe places to visit to - but safety issue is almost everywhere in the world , Isn't it? After spending 5 days on local leave - I finally decided to just utilize the rest of my remaining days in Manila - Thanks to a dear friend who let me use a staff ticket- that save me a fortune!


The plane arrives the next day and no single moment was wasted - first stop is we went to Quiapo -  It is a district in the bustling, busy and crowded city of Manila. Quiapo gets it name from a floating plant named; "Kiapo" that grew abundantly around that area. This place is made popular for the Quiapo church where you can see the Black Nazarene -  the statue of Jesus of Nazarene is thought to give miracles and blessings. We searched the area looking for some traditional items for my street styling shots and I was fascinated by the art pieces. See photos below;

I could say that it is definitely fun in the Philippines...

More of my upcoming Manila adventures will be posted soon. Please feel free to share any thoughts or suggestions. I am open for any feed backs :) Till next time sweethearts:)

Modern Skater Boy!!!

Yes you are absolutely right, I call it a modern skater boy look by incorporating trendy outfit such as the current military inspired garments and mixing it up with the full use of accessories which i always love to do to complete my look, such as the statement cap, a shabby knapsack from quiksilver and how can you forget the skateboard which I actually borrowed from my Nephew.. ha ha!!!

Come on.. I am not a sporty type person but I wouldn't mind going to Corniche and play with this skateboard which is a great recreational activity to divert my mind from something else...
