(26) Streak

Late night doodles

I have been away, possibly in the best twilight zone for the longest time. Honestly, it felt like I was suspended in the cloudy cushions of the freshest air, rolling in the glittery dust of sun rays that were piercing through the gentle sky. I feel at home right where I am.

It has definitely been awhile, I have been lost in my track of thoughts trying to figure out many other things, and also, finding the right motivation to write again. Thought I would update this space to kick things off for October. I've been drawing too, well for the fun of it and to vent any form of negativity (positivity as well) on newspaper like canvases hahah.

Speaking of which, I am about to be done with school, forever (!!!) It scares me to be swimming out in the ocean filled with saltwater alligators... But it's just about time - I've been dreaming of this moment for the longest time ever and wondering if I'll ever make it. Life beckons, doesn't it? I've done some research and hopefully will be able to bring you more than I usually do. I can't wait to blog about some of the wonderful stuff I've found when school is officially over.


In any case, I made it to the 12 Apostles and boy was it a breathtaking sight. Forgive my touristy self, I just had to stick my head in this one hahah. It was a groggy drive but worth it nonetheless.

Anyway, if you haven't been following, do check Pocketto out on Facebook clicking through here. Plenty of updates going on there almost daily with lovely pictures and brands to check out (:

Stick around for more, I'll be back, soon enough!

Welcome: Superdry

Featured: Superdry Vintage Entry Tee for Mens'

Hello Superdry! Pocketto now welcomes another brand new affiliate on board!

If you were thinking that Superdry's a Japanese label, it actually isn't. Superdry's origins dated way back in 1985, starting off as 'Cult Clothing' in 1985 by founder, Julian Dunkerton. The business expanded and established a few other stores in UK itself.

Superdry was only born when Julian paid a visit to Tokyo in 2003, heavily inspired by the Japanese culture and make. The brand fuses Japanese graphics, vintage Americana with the values of British tailoring and aims to bring forward unique, urban clothing with eye for the detail.

I've always liked their simple, clean cut designs and I am happy to have roped them in (also very in line with my Japanese obsession). Here are some picks from the list for ladies but I'd like to think of these as unisex picks. So here goes!

From left to right (in clockwise direction): Stadium Wool Navy Jacket, Washbasket Vintage Check Longsleeve Shirt in Barndoor Blue, Seaside Padstow Barrel in Natural and Dark Navy, Standard Blue Super Skinny Jean Rinse available via Superdry

From left: California Small Kit Bag in Multi Colour, Classic Tarpaulin Laptop Bag in Army Cargo available at Superdry

Take your pick at the Superdry Spring release here!

I'm sure you'll find something essential you might love be it for the warm or cold. I'm just freezing and burning from the erratic weather right here in Melbourne.

More to come, definitely. Been to a few wonderful places and finally went surfing (!!!) I know it's not that big a deal but it exists under my bucket list so lucky me it is. Thanks for sticking around if you do and more from Superdry if you love them too (;

Have a good day and stay tuned for more!

(22) Around town









From top down: 1. Lunch/dinner at Central Library, 2. Melbourne bicycle rental, 3. Central Library, 4. Chinatown, 5. Dream My Little Pony bicycle, 6. Wall art in Chinatown, 7. Cello busker along Swanston St., 8. My new ride from Reid cycles

Here's some sights I've had over the past two weeks over here and I thought I would make an effort to document more things and share them.

Melbourne has been keeping me excited, curious and passionate about things I want to do. This may sound a little cheesy but I feel like i'm reconnecting with myself and finally doing things that I've been wanting to be in touch with. Been having some ups and downs through it all but at the end of the day, I feel like it's pretty much worth the time and effort.

Keeping this clean and simple, simply because I am so out of touch with technology and the Internet. I have yet to configure some apps on my new Macbook but I'm pretty sure I'll get it right really soon.

Anyway, I finally have better things on hand to share (in due time), so keep your eyes peeled!

(20) Transition


From one of my awesome friends, Anabel

Transition can come in various forms.

2013 is going to be an epic year because I've made it thus far and it's just going to get even better. Australia happens in just a few more hours and it feels sort of surreal... And as much as I think I am ready, I really doubt I am.

Leaving makes you realize the kind of people you have around you, can be the most wonderful kind if you've forged meaningful friendships with people you love. I am extremely blessed to have had friends that understood me and have shared moments with.

I rarely speak about my emotions so openly in this space because it's supposed to be for entertainment purposes. But I thought I should document this down to share my journey; leaving, exploring and coming back. Just to keep everything going, at least for myself.

Thank you for loving me and making me see I have had the bestest times of my life, right here at home, with the best kind of people. I love all of you, through and through.

And keep reading - for there's more to come. I'll be back in a jiffy once the Internet comes back (;
