Inspirational Photos of the Day

It’s the end of the year, and looking back, my favorite things about the-year-that-was were the little things. We always celebrate the big moments in life, but it’s the tiny surprises that often slip by unnoticed that really bring us back into the moment and keep us there.  May the coming 2015 bring more of these everyday treasures into our awareness, and may the joyful little moments add up–a  bit at a time–into an amazingly grand year ahead! Spread the love!

Belgium: Chocolates, Waffles…& Sprouts?

Whew, made it…final post for 2014! Ito and I spent the final leg of our trip, and celebrated my birthday, in Brussels before flying back home to Manila. We stayed in a beautiful 190-year old art nouveau townhouse, in the stylish artist’s district Dansaert, a cobbled area filled with chic restaurants, trendy bars, artists’ shops, and just a short walking distance from the Old Town. Strolling around Brussels, I couldn’t help but remember my all-time favorite childhood hero, Tintin with his faithful dog Snowy 🙂 So much of the Old Town seemed vaguely familiar from the illustrations I knew...

Munich: The Spirit of Bavaria

When Ito and I arrived in Munich at the tail end of Oktoberfest, we immediately headed out to commemorate it amidst revelers in Marienplatz, the beautiful city square, with a Bavarian brew. Our next few days would be spent exploring Munich beyond its traditional beer festival, trying out its delicious food and fresh produce at the Viktualienmarkt, visiting its museums, and walking around its numerous expansive parks (the famous Olympic stadium and Olympiapark alone were massive!). Between the day we visited the behemoth, tornado-inspired BMW Welt & museum and the weekend we found the inspiring, up-close-and-personal Richard Avedon exhibit,...

Drizzly Day in Dresden

Continuing on… Before Ito and I left Berlin for the next leg of our trip, a day trip to somewhere-we-never-thought-of-beforehand beckoned, and the German city of Dresden fit the bill perfectly. When we had searched our map and researched online to decide on where to pop in for the day, we found the picturesque city of Dresden which was only a (slightly over) 2-hour train ride away. It was a drizzly day when we set off, but the gray skies did nothing to diminish the beauty of the “Jewel Box”, as the city center of Dresden is known. Situated...

Inspirational Photo of the Day

One of the best things about being an artist is having a home filled with art that you didn’t just collect, but that you created yourself. This stag head piece, made of reclaimed wood and bits of wire, was in the home of a German artist who had left his driveway open for people to freely come in enjoy his work (unfortunately, I seem to have lost the card I kept with the artist’s name on it, ugh!). I loved the almost folkloric feel of this piece along with the whimsy of it, which somehow also made it feel very modern. In an increasingly hi-tech and digital world, unique art and designs reawaken our senses and bring us back to the amazing, tactile beauty of handmade work.
