EDITOR’S NOTE
This month celebrates the first year
anniversary of sesebelen.com' s
publication. How fast it was from
the time I posted “Quarantine Shoot”
as the very first blog post and now
having multiple creative outlets—
its just so surreal. As part of its celebration a
new addition to SSBLN Creative Outlets is now
officially unveiled—SSBLN Philippines. A
quarterly released online magazine published
through Yumpu.com.
Last June I’ve released a test run of the
magazine—Endless: Summer Issue—together with
the launch of a new section for fashion at
sesebelen.com— Style Agenda. This had inspired
me to push forward in making a full blown
magazine which consists of Fashion, Travel, and
Photography—that some will still be seen as a
blog post and some are going to be exclusive for
the magazine.
As August is the month of its release, I
decided to curate content that are timely for the
monsoon season in the Philippines. Inspirations
from K-Dramas that you could incorporate with
your OOTD on a rainy day and Instagram
content creators that would help you build a
superb moodboard to inspire you in revitalizing
your wardrobe. The travel section introduces
a new volume of “Wanderer.” We’ll travel down
south and visit the pristine waters of Anilao,
Batangas. This issue also challenges the
stereotype of fashion with photographs of pearl
necklaces, which shows that it is an accessory for
everyone.
Finally the cover story. As this is the first
issue I decided to have my story on how I
started sesebelen.com. Accentuating looks inspired
from 90’s street style and an homage to
the first layout I did for sesebelen.com. In this
cover story I share my narrative and thoughts on
how I overcome challenges and continually
discovering other creative aspects that I could
apply to my creative outlets.
This magazine is a fruit of my love for
print and digital magazines as well with my
passion for magazine layouting. L’Officiel,
Vogue, MEGA, & Preview are just some that
inspired the layout of SSBLN Philippines’ initial
release. As this marks the beginning of a New
Age for SSBLN Creative Outlets, expect more to
come your way. I hope you enjoy this first issue
as much as I enjoyed making it.

Rainy
DRAMARAMA
From TV to reality. Inspired from ensembles seen in hit kdramas, these are some
jacket selections perfect to wear on the rainy season.

Hoodie
A staple on rainy days—the hoodie. Your go-to outfit when that
cold breeze hits your face and mess up your hair. Amp up your
style by copping this look from Park Bo Gum’s drama, “Record
of Youth.” A plain or printed hoodie paired with a stylish coat
and trouser would surely boost your OOTD game.

Cardigan
A cardigan can be formal, casual, or even a lounge wear—it
just depends on what you wear underneath it. Inspired by Lee
Min Ho’s character in his drama “The King: Eternal
Monarch”—that occasionally wears a Cardigan, and as Dark
Academia style is becoming a trend, a cardigan could be perfect
on a chill Sunday brunch-out with your friends or family. With
its knitted texture this could also be your partner on a cozy day
at home doing zoom calls or just sit beside the window while
sipping a cup of coffee or binge watch all of Lee Min Ho’s
dramas on Netflix while eating a hot bowl of ramen.

Anorak
Ever heard what’s the brother of a windbreaker is called? Well,
it’s an Anorak. Same design as a windbreaker just remove the
full body zipper and side pockets then replace it with a midlength
zipper and have a big pocket in the middle. Nam Joo
Hyuk’s character—if you’ve watch “Weightlifting Fairy Kim
Bok Joo”—is an athlete, a swimmer to be exact; seen to be
wearing an anorak in a scene after his training. With its
lightweight design this jacket could now be your go-to daily
jacket or when you’ll be working out and have a jog and it’s
kinda breezy outside.

Denim
Another rainy day staple—a Denim Jacket, though you can
wear this every season because it's a good piece when layering
and styling a simple look. By just wearing a simple white shirt
or a button-down shirt, it’ll surely be a stylish partner. And
when Lee Jong Suk’s character on W: Two Worlds, showed this
denim on denim outfit partnered with a pair of chelsea boots,
it sure did looked stylish.

Bomber
Park Seo Joon’s character in Itaewon Class occasionally wears
a lot of layered clothing due to the cold weather in South
Korea. But in the Philippines you can’t actually do that because
our weather is just fairly cold during the monsoon season. Having
a bomber jacket you can still cop some of Park Seo-joon’s looks.
Bomber jacket is a type of jacket worn when the weather is kinda
chilly but doesn’t need a heavy weighting jacket. Perfect for the
Manila rainy day weather. Having a stylish bomber is a plus, you
might be going to Sae-ro-yi’s pub, so you need to stand out with
your look.

WANDERER VOL.2
H A NGOVER
The quick change from dry to monsoon season in the
Philippines makes you think if you'll cancel that beach trip
on a rainy July. Just two-hours away from Manila is
our destination for Wanderer Volume Two. A four days
and three nights experience from Vivere Azure to
Aiyanar Beach and Dive Resort in Anilao, Batangas

July is not your typical month to book a beach
getaway, as the monsoon season starts at June
in the Philippines till mid-October. That's why
it is hard to predict the weather sometimes.
Today could be a sunny day, the next it’ll be raining
cats and dogs all day. But as how fast as seasons change
in the Philippines, there could be no bad timing to take
a drive out of the city and go to the laid back atmosphere
of the beaches in nearby provinces.
Anilao, Batangas is known for its majestic and
rich marine biodiversity, this makes Anilao the best
diving sites in the world. Aside from diving, hotels and
resorts in the area are also something to look forward
to. The luxurious and serene surroundings of Vivere
Azure will give you that relaxation you are longing for
and Aiyanar Beach and Dive Resort will offer you an
adventure at sea.
This year, traveling surely became even more
expensive than in the pre-pandemic times. As you need
to do swab testings and buy personal protective equipments—face
masks & face shields—to lessen the spread
of the virus. That’s why we maximized our short
getaway outside Manila. This trip is also for us to
celebrate my mother’s 50th birthday, so what better
way to celebrate your fifty-years of existence, well, at
a place where the celebrant always loves being at, the
beach!
Even though the weather won’t cooperate
with our beach trip, there’s no way it will stop us from
enjoying the fresh breeze from the sea and wonderful
amenities of the hotels we’re staying at could offer.
We first stayed at Vivere Azure. Short story
about this, when my mom decided to have her birthday
trip in Anilao, one thing popped up in my mind, that
vlog of Anne Clutz at this hotel—Vivere Azure. So, I
immediately suggested to have a stay there. Vivere is in
a pricey stand point compared to its neighboring
hotels and resorts in the area. But, the price is all
worth paying when you experience their amenities—
from the relaxing ambiance of the whole resort, the
scenic view from the pool, and the delicious food. We
stayed at Vivere for just one night, then, we moved to
Aiyanar, which is just a six-minute drive away.

equally beautiful to when you are looking at it from
the outside. Having a cascading architecture its just
so satisfying to look at.
Though half of our stay we're mostly in
our room due to the storm that was reported at that
time in the area. I still enjoyed our quick getaway.
It gave me a time to have a break from the isolation
and stress in the city and had a chance to be with
mother nature and be at the beach again.
In Aiyanar you could experience scuba diving and
see the beauty underwater and savior the majestic
marine life Anilao could offer. They have a 3-day
training to acquire a certification for diving but they
also have a one day experience, training and actual
diving, but, just at the area infront of the resort. Even
though, you’ll see beautiful marine life right away.
They also have a large infinity pool where it is divided
with a training area for those who will be diving. The
dining area was also an instagramable spot, especially
when it is lit at night. The view from the rooms are as

A year has gone by since the publishing of
sesebelen.com and shared the bits of my
life to the online world. When I posted my
very first blog we are all in a tough situation.
Hoping that this notion could ease the
stress we are all experiencing because of
the unpredictable situations in
the midst of a pandemic.
FORMATION
The birth of this whole sesebelen.com content
was a five year process actually. I had countless
of websites created that was just left hanging
and set aside due to hectic schedules. I started
weblog way back in 2016—for me, it was the
height of blogging, specifically microblogging
through Instagram and Tumblr.
David Guison, Kerwin King, and
Laureen Uy—to name a few who I look up to
and that inspired me to start my own blog. A
galvanizing feeling on how these “bloggers” or
“content creators” produce their content about
traveling to different places, lifestyle, and
fashion through photography and writing. I was
then inspired and started to try it and produce
content myself.
Fast forward to 2020, the age where
vlogging and curating Tiktok videos are the
trend in online content creation. It was hard to
think if people are still in to blogs and how I
could build a following and engage an audience
through this platform. I looked and read articles,
if it’s still “ok” to blog in 2020, and the
answer I got was a staggering YES. Blogging is
you—telling your own story through a written
work that could coincide with photos you’ll
post online. Written storytelling will never go
out of style—hit it Taylor Swift. The extensive
imagination and creative mind of a writer are
the greatest ammunition in telling stories and
narratives in engaging the readers; next to
photographs and beautiful layout designs.
FINDING A PURPOSE
My mom once asked me, on what’s my purpose
in doing all these—blogging, having photoshoots,
& sleepless nights in order to write,
edit, and layout the things I need to post. At
first I was flustered—didn’t know how or what
to answer her unexpected question. I tried to
ponder upon this and think about a purpose for
all these.
In the about page of my website I’ve
told there that, sesebelen.com was created in
order for me to impart what was beyond in my
social media accounts. This website will be an
avenue to share about stories and tips in traveling,
my fashion influences, and even with my
love for photography and layout design, in a
creative way—given that I do all the layouts
and stuff. The website also helps me to hone
57

my creative skills and have that opportunity to
impart something that I’ve learned from the
internet or a book, things that I’m fascinated
about, and what I love to do that fires up my
passion for creativity and content creation.
STUMBLING BLOCK
As a Libra who is very indecisive of his
actions, I sometimes have a hard time in pushing
through with a certain post—because at
first the idea is ok with me but then I’ll ask
friends on what they think and realize that “oh
you’re right, hindi maganda.” and change or revise
it immediately. Also, taking into consideration
the practicality of producing materials for a
blog post and layout designs are minor setbacks
that I also experience. But the one that I know
would cause anxiety after posting a content,
that is a different kind of setback.
The fact that my platform is online and
we all know how horrifying people are online,
specially on social media platforms—given that
we have the freedom to post whatever we want.
The idea of having unexpected criticisms or encountering
someone that doesn’t have the same
understanding of what I am conveying in a certain
post, worries me. “Was there something
wrong with my content?”, “Was my post
offensive?”, “Was my design off and was
the concept too much?” or “Should I just
take down the post?”; somethings like that
straight-up comes into my mind after seeing my
content publicly displayed online and could be
seen by a ton of people, I know or don’ know.
We are unconfined of expressing and
sharing anything online from opinions to our
passion. But, we live in an age where online
validation is powerful. People are very observant
and meticulous with what they see in their
newsfeed. There’s now this feeling of angst
before and after hitting that publish, post, or
share button. That there are instances where I
have to edit multiple times a certain blog post.
I’ll ask opinions on what my friends think about
with this certain piece, photo edit, or layout
before it gets posted online. Its like a research
paper that if I submitted it to the professor—
the people online—and it doesn’t sit well or did
great with them, I feel like, I kind of failed on
that research paper. There’s now this search
for validation on everything I do—that it sometimes
lead to being a setback.
I guess overcoming this boils down to
having a mindset that you need to start somewhere,
and understand that as human beings,
we commit mistakes, have mishaps along the
way, and that we are all learning from one
another to improve ourselves as we interact
online. The thought of holding yourself back
in starting doing what you love because you see
yourself not as astounding as others, will not
take you anywhere. You need to start, in order
for you to become astounding in doing what
you love. The norm and online validation will
not hinder the idea of you sharing your creativity
through an online or any kind of platform.
DISCOVERING
As I was also battling my inner demons due to
the isolation, I explored and scoured the internet
on how I could be productive during these
trying times and on how I can squeeze creative
juices with the given immense amount of time.
Being immersed into photography, in an
age where in everyone could be a photographer
by just using their mobile phones, such as me.
You need to have a unique content that would
stand out. Due to the pandemic we can’t easily
do the things we can pre-pandemic style. So
you sometimes need to be resourceful in producing
content. Like most of the shoots I’ve
done in 2020. I relied on youtube tutorials and
tips on how I could easily learn how to edit my
photos. I also utilized apps like pinterest and
instagram to gain inspiration for content that
I could do at home. You’ll then apply that to
your idea and have an elevated version that has
an element of “you”. I started to have photoshoots
in my bedroom to test the things I’m
learning—relying on sunlight and my phone,

" A new age
has come
to sesebelen
creative outlets
and there ’ s a lot
to offer in the
years ahead.
"
I then apply the things that I learned about
editing on photoshop. I started to get a hang
of it and soon after, a ton of photoshoots has
gone by and photos are piling in my laptop, that
deserves to see the light of day in the online
world. Enter my first blog post “Quarantine
Shoot”. Where in I blogged about what I’ve
learned and been up to during the lockdown.
In “Wanderer the Series”, one thing I
learned while doing this was on how to have a
nice schedule for your blog posts, plan it before
hand, and do all the things needed to be posted
a month ahead.
The blog series went for a whole month.
Every weekend of September I need to produce
content—a written piece, photos, do all the
layout, and other things for the blog post. My
mistake was I down played everything. Thinking
that my procrastination would do me good.
It takes time to come up and execute
concepts and ideas that you’ll put out. Even
magazines prepare and curate their content
months before releasing an issue. Think about a
content that is plausible with your time, have a
week or a month to do all the things you need—
thinking on what should be the next concept
for your content, photoshoots, & layout. There
should be an adequate amount of time for curating
the next content and a convenient date when
you’ll post it.
As a creative it is kind of difficult to
carry out certain ideas in mind, due to the fact
that when an idea struck, sometimes in production
it doesn’t go as planned, so you need to
have a back-up. I never knew that the research
skills I acquired as a PolSci student would help
me in in curating a blog post. With the newly
added, Style Agenda—it really made me look
up on climates, Philippines’ geographical landscape,
and other related stuff to justify that I
could release a summer lookbook in June and
that my readers will not be bewildered on to why
I am releasing such content.
NEW AGE
The gravity that this "new normal" has brought
different tremendous challenges. In this day
where in we are mostly isolated in our homes—
getting enough inspiration to work on was a bit
of a challenge.
While I was listening to this podcast—
"Kwentong Creatives with Gio Puyat" where
in Macoy Dubs was a guest. Macoy told there
that “Madami tayong pwedeng gawan ng
kwento.”—and it resonated to me that there
could be inspiration everywhere. That the sky
is the limit and you could write about even the
things you just see in the midst of your home.
Having your friends and family could
also give you those boost and inspiration for
your next content. A good support system surely
helps—as they say "no man is an island."
Producing creative content online had
made me expand and create multiple creative
outlets—sesebelen.com, ssbln studios, and
the newly added SSBLN Philippines; my outlet
for magazine layouting.
A new age has come to sesebelen
creative outlets and there’s a lot to offer in the
years ahead.
