Meeting Cheapthrills

Friday, February 10, 2012

 (Sweater: Topshop// Skirt: Zara// Boots: Chloe Sevigny x OS// Clutch: F21// Watch: Parfois)

Over the Holiday break, I had the wonderful opportunity of meeting Raez of Cheapthrills. I've been following Raez's blog for over 2 years now. I love the photos and the witty content in Raez's posts as well as the spunky attitude she gives off in her outfit poses. Raez was born in the Philippines but is now residing in Canada. When I found out that she was coming over to the Philippines for a 2-week vacation, I nudged myself to ask her for a quick meet-up and I'm thankful that she obliged. We met up in the South and I took her for some bit of shopping in Alabang and in Makati. Seconds were spent conversing about fashion, school systems, education, life in Canada and the quick changes that took place in the Philippines. Raez's dad accompanied us during our shipping trip and I must say, he's one of the coolest and most adorable dads I've ever met. 

For an 18 year old, Raez is surely wise beyond her years. What I admire about her the most is her go-getter attitude. At such a young age, she's already set on the career she wants to pursue after college and aims to get to her goal/s and be the best at it. Wish I was as strong-willed as her when I was 18 years old.
