Latte Art

You know that a place was meant just for you when you entered a place and you're like "Whoa, I am the first customer today! I am gonna take pictures in every spot."

Well it wasn't just a metaphor, it was true. Today, I went to Koultoura Cafe that was located in Greenville to meet two of my 'haven't met in quiet a while' friends. I am not a fan of coffee, but I LOVE coffee shops. Like the ol' youtuber's sayings, let's get into it!

At first, I ordered a cup of hot chocolate. Why hot? Because you get latte art if you order a hot drink.

The chocolate tasted a little bit too dark for me (because I am a fan of sugar). But in a blink of minute, I already finished my drink.

Okay, candid picture is a must. We noticed that there was a camera in front of us but, it's still candid. We chit-chatted and finished our drink at around 11 p.m. Woops, it's already afternoon! We ordered this plate full of sweet potato bites and meat. With the omelette on top, the dish looked so on point <3

The first thing I love about coffee shops is the design. Look at how minimalistic the interiors are! Also, the wall polaroids are not just some random photos. They are filled with beautiful moments inside of the Koultoura cafĂ©.

Little Tokyo


“Live your life and forget your age,” that’s the quote I’ve been living ever since.

Have you ever felt like you’re afraid of what people think about you because you are not a part of their STEREOTYPE?

Like for example, going to the mall with a super mini bag because it just looks convenient.
I did. But yesterday, I didn't. In fact, we went to the Central Park Mall and brought a hella big SLR with a backpack as well just because we LOVED it.

We were about to have lunch when one of us introduced us to this kind of food court; Tokio Kitchen, that was well-designed with a Japanese street vibe.

We were SUPER hyped! (or at least me) because I’ve never seen such kind of place IN a mall.

I took these photos with my old but gold DSLR Canon 550D, with the fix 50 mm lens and edited them with my laptop.

My first bokeh! I was SUPER happy because it didn’t take a lot of time to capture those beautiful bokeh with the 50 mm lens <3

The kanken bag on my favorite colors (a.k.a navy blue and maroon) i brought to the mall. it doesn’t look that big in the outside but it can carry a lot of stuffs.

This is me, taken beautifully by my dearest “cici”. i love the way that she took the bokeh lights with me being on focus.

Everything that are in a big amount is considered great, I took some photos of these beautiful stacks of magazines and also some wall posters. Look at those depth of fields!

There is something beautiful about blurred photos that I can’t define, can't you quite catch that?

Last but not least, I didn’t come here all by myself. Thanks to my dearest “cici” because she’d love to accompany me taking photos, learning about photography and making memories!
