Pink NY.

 My bro got this cap for me. Well, he told me to buy this cap hahaha so I was like, OKAY! :D

Hehehee..I luvv caps. Cap galore in Korea, guise. If you need cute caps, cool caps, weird caps, all kinds of caps? Go to Seoul~

Let's walk plssss.

tiiillttt.

The shirt I got was on sale too. Actually I got 2 of these, one had a comic symbol on it and it's neon. I bought 2 from that store because it was super cheap for their sale. Oh yeahh.. Top Ten (I think) was the name of the store. They had Uniqlo/H&M/ Muji vibes. I think it's the Korean version of those brands. The shirt's pretty soft and thin too. I love it because I can wear it here in Manila. Yaayy!

BOY Stripes.

Hellooo, I'm back! And I'm back as a freeeee maannn. Oh yeah. Free man coz I just finished my thesis and was able to defend it last Wednesday. Now I can post all of the pending shiz I need to postttt. So here's the first one after the hiatus... 

What does this button do?!

My BOY striped sleeves and black and white biker cap.

watwatwatwat?!

Stripes on stripes? Okaaayy.

When we got to Korea, it was SALE season which was super lucky for us/me!

I got to check out racks that contained super affordable clothes. This shirt was in the 5900won rack and I was like...NO SHIT. Guys, google convert that shit to PHP and you'll be surprised at the price result!

The store that I went to was pretty cool as well. I was about to walk past the store because it looked sketchy plus the store was "underground". But you know, when you see the rack labeled 5900won, you can't say no to that. There were a lot more cooler clothes to buy but I decided to save my money for Hongdae. It was a good plan.
 

The cap was in a department store but nonetheless was still pretty affordable since those types of caps can't be found in Manila. That's around 15000won (I can't remember the exact price, lol) But yeah...these two are like 800 pesos only. YAYYY TO AFFORDABLE CLOTHESSS. Wooooo!

Creeper

Hellooooo, here are 2 more items I got from Korea. Yeaah. Went to school wearing this sadly tho I missed my adviser for my thesis but at least I got to wear these itemssss. Yayy.

I haven't done this in awhile lol. Doing it because I need to make a self-portrait for my thesis since my adviser prefers it illustrated. So I need peegzzz. lol. And yes, I also want to document what I bought in K. So here it is. I got the Creepy Dance Skeleton Shirt and that striped cap in affordable prices.

Lazyy beee

The oppa manning the booth/store where I bought the creeper shirt was really nice. He instantly gave me discounts from the items that I got AND I used my credit card for it. He's pretty awesome. He looks like a bear (just like Kim Tae Woo in Invincible Youth) but is surprisingly nice and has a Hello Kitty calculator which is just adorable, hahaha. 

He was like "O! Where zid I put mah Hello Kitty?" =)))

Creeeppperrrr~

Usually kasi you have to pay cash so they can give you a discount but oppa said I can use my card for it. He also recognized the shirt I was wearing and said "Versace?" and I was like "Yes, err...sort of". It was my Proudrace Virgin shirt that looked like the Versace logo but it was really Madonna haha. 

The cap I found it hard to use because I couldn't find items where I could match it with. Then I got it to work with the shirt so I was really happy I could wear it that day. The game for caps in Korea is insane. THEY LITERALLY MAKE THE CUTEST CAPS IN THE WORLD. Their ideas are super cool and innovative too that as a lover hoarder of caps, I went crazy whenever I saw unique caps. I wish I could take home with me but I have VERY limited budget Haha. I'll show you what I mean in my next post where I got my other kewlll cap (note: it was the most expensive item I got from the trip but I think it's worth it naman but that's just for me) . =))

byebye!

Weeelll, that's iiitttt. Onto the next pooosttt~!

Welcome to The Collective.

I went to The Collective because I needed cool places to shop for my project in Webdev which totally killed me. I just have to submit the final CD of everything I made and then I'm free. Anyhoo, back to The Collective!

Here is the gate to The Collective, it is located in Makati and is pretty near SDA building guys :> It's really got lots of things inside but when I went here with my friends, some of them were still closed. Anyhoo, here's our first target: Homeroom.

I went inside hesitantly because it felt like the store was still closed but I asked one of the guys packing if we could enter and he said "Yeah" in a very cute accent. I later found out that his name was James Laurel and I mistook him for an Australian guy but noooooo. Guys, he's Filipino/Britzz. Shhetzzz. Noiiceee. =)) We asked him if we could take a picture of him but was a shy man and said he looked nasty, tried to shake his hand as we leave but said it was dirty...so we just elbow-bumped each other (instead of a fist bump) :)) What a nice down-to-earth guy~~

They sell brands that can't be found here in the Phils and from what I've googled Brent Javier owns the room (get it? Homeroom...Classroom :)) ). I love the concept of it and it's insides. The brands they sell are really good to!

Super sunglasses.

What a cool telescope!!!!

The shoes are from the brand called Keep (methinks) and the prices are very affordable for these cool shoes, if I remember correctly their prices are 2k and above. Pretty cheap for these shoes.

Cool hoodie!

There's James on the left with the bandana fixing some stuff. This one was probably my fave part, the ginormous blackboard!!! James told us to stop over once again and doodle on the black board, and we said we'd definitely come back. I know I would :D

I want to go back for these though...I'm just not sure how much they were but I'm definitely going back to Homeroom. I love it soo much! Oh, and because the people there were nice, and James is from Batangas by the way! He said it in a nice British accent/////swoon////

Off to the next store!

This alley leads to Vinyl on Vinyl!
It's a gallery/store.

The Three Kings

They also sell t-shirts there for the price of 500 pesos.


Toys are also displayed but the toys aren't my thing.

Their next show: Gabby Tiongson's Sharpie artworks! Parang I want to go.

STICKERS EVERYWHEEREE!!!

Next up:

I saw these cute bicycles outside~~

It's from a workshop called Hocus where they re-create old bicycles and somehow pimp them up. The owners were there and I said hiii. Sheina and Andre were just doing their own thing so I went shooting away trying to stay stealth while Andre was exposing some prints.

They started with silkscreens then just branched out into their hobby of bicycles.
LOVE ITTT.

The Selby ako for a day. =))

Next up is Yadu. The insides of Yadu are WILD. :))Na-overwhelm ako sa bags.

Cool American flag backpack! I want.

See what I mean? WILD.


Cool interior, I like the idea of using branches as hangers or something. Pretty unique, the only problem is, there are soooooo many bags hanging that I don't know which one to pick! Nakaka-overwhelm ika nga.

Last but not the least, Crazy Sundae.
Store is kind of small and nasa corner lang siya but it's got some good stuff too.

AND THESE PRINTS! TO DIE FOR. I wanted to buy one but I decided to save my money#shoppingregrets

They cost 500 pesos ONLY! Cheap and cool~~

AAANNNNNDDDd, that was my trip to The Collective! I had fun and hope that the other stores were open but alas...I shall visit again another time. Soo, adios amigos!!!

PS. just in case you're wondering whatever happened to my website for webdev (not that anyone is interested or something...) here's a link to my MOTHERFUCKING WEBSITE. IT'S NOT THAT GOOD, BUT I'M JUST GLAD IT'S OVER. Oh, and the fonts I used didn't show on the web sooo, lame ung fonts. Sorry bout that. CLICKITYCLICKCLICK!
