Perth is more than just summer. 🍁

I’ve always felt our city is at its most beautiful when the heat finally breaks and that crisp, golden light takes over. I spent some time capturing the shift this season - from the quiet corners of the Hills to the afternoon glow over the vineyards.

The full cinematic edit "Autumn in Perth" will be premiering soon on my YouTube channel.

Street food in Perth is different compared to Bangkok or Manila… but it exists in its own way. You just need to know where to look

🇵🇭 It’s been years, but Manila still has that same magic. Familiar streets, familiar flavors, and that irreplaceable feeling of being home.

Preparing for a photoshoot...safe to say not everyone was in the mood that day

Found this little gem from 2016 - still one of my favourites. Some moments just stay with you.

The Hidden Heart of Midvale: Breadren 🇵🇭
Is this the happiest place in Perth? For anyone who grew up with the scent of a neighborhood panaderia, the answer is a resounding yes.

While the rest of the city is rushing, there’s a quiet corner in Midvale where time seems to slow down. Breadren isn’t just a shop; it’s a portal back to the Philippines. Between the warmth of the ovens and the genuine smiles behind the counter, it’s easily the best Pinoy bakery in Perth and quite possibly the city’s best-kept secret.

The Essentials:

The Pandesal: Soft, airy, and coated in just the right amount of breadcrumbs. It’s the ultimate morning ritual.

The Cheese Bread: A golden, nostalgic favorite. That perfect balance of soft dough and salty cheese that hits the spot every single time.

Traditional Delights: On the right day, you’ll find the real soul food - warm, comforting Lugaw that feels like a hug in a bowl, or sweet, chewy Palitaw topped with plenty of coconut and sesame seeds.

The Spanish Bread: Perfectly sweet with that buttery, sugary core that melts in your mouth.

Forget the over-hyped tourist spots. The best bakery in Perth is the one that feeds your soul and reminds you of home. Grab a warm bag of rolls, find a quiet spot in the nearby Swan Valley, and enjoy the rhythm of a perfect Perth morning.

📍 Visit them: 30 Hooley Rd, Midvale WA 6056
Pro-tip: Go early to catch the Lugaw while it's hot and the bread is still steaming!

Living in Australia has given me so many opportunities…
but there are days when I still miss Manila so much 🇵🇭

The noise, the food, the people, the feeling of being home.
No matter where life takes me, Manila will always be part of who I am.

Filipinos abroad — do you still feel this too? ❤️

People say Perth is boring... I used to think that too...until I slowed down. I made a short film about what this city feels like - the people, pace and finding space again.

A cinematic reflection on life, culture, and identity in Perth, Australia.This is not a travel guide. This is a film about pace, belonging, and the quiet spa...
