where is this sun you speak of?

Hahaha it makes me giggle everytime I read that sentence. Why? Because I am experiencing that now. Why do I always have to learn things the hard way?  It is surprising how life puts the jokes on me . I was not expecting something so big to happen just so I could wake up and face how wrong my life was. Okay, wrong is a strong word to describe it (perhaps, really rude) but those things (not all, just some) in the past really wasn't right. More like losing edge of everything. I'm glad it happened though because if not I wouldn't be able to change my pace at all. That is from not right to less wrong -- at least. Some things to put in mind: First, get out of the situation when people gets too negative. Because if not, you will find yourself being negative, too. Example: gossip. Second, I am guilty of talking about how irritated and annoyed I am at one person. And knowing some people feel the same way, too, somehow makes me calm. But it is just wrong. I am sorry fo...

This photo is taken on April 2009 when we had a family vacation in Cebu. It was my first time in Cebu City. On our second day, we visited seven churches because my sister said that when visiting a new place, you should visit seven churches in that place. One of the seven churches we've visited is the Basilica Minore del Santo Nino. It is the oldest church in Cebu and the oldest church I've been to! Inside, you get to see old paintings and sculptures. Also, there's a store that sells rosaries, bibles among others. Early this year, I went to visit Cebu City again and on my last day, I made sure to visit this church and have a time for prayer and myself. There's something about going inside an old church. It makes me feel special and thankful for my life even if it is not that grand.

For my second roll of film!  That kid was looking at me when I was about to push the button but I guess I was too slow.   Taken inside the jeepney going to school. The girl in the opposite side was looking at me while sneeking through Holga's mini viewfinder. I bet she thought I was crazy or maybe she has a thing for lomography, too. A window from an old classroom. I kind of miss this place. Back in 3rd year college, I had countless naps here. Sometimes I gather chairs and sleep and didn't care what other people think about me -- sleeping in a uniform, facing the electric fan. There were times when we just hang out, watch videos on-line and play cards and do our projects and other stuff. It was a "free room" for everybody but mostly engineering. I wish they didn't turn this into an air-conditioned room.   On my way home. Hello, cat! I have a thing for clouds. Back when I was kid, I thought people can stopover in the clouds while travel...

This is an overdue entry for my "proposed" project back in 2009. Just so you know, that year was the time when I decided to try out something not cheap . So when I got the camera on hand, I told myself to shoot nice things so my money will be well-spent. Hahaha When I got the mail of the developed films, the excitement was just different. So different from all the kind of excitement I have been feeling ever since. That was a one-of-a-kind feeling. To see the photos you've taken with an analog camera is the best feeling in the world. That was my first time and I can tell the photos aren't so bad at all. Though there are some that are blurry and stuff like that but fuck that. Photos don't need to be crisp, sharp and focused all the time!  Anyway, here are the results of my first roll using Holga Micro-110 Camera :) Technically, the very first shot! Hello! So this shot and the next two shots were all about shoot here, shoot this, shoot that! Why? Because I did...

Photo from Wikipedia Album: So Tonight That I Might See Year:  1993 Favorites: Bells Ring Fade Into You Five String Serenade Mazzy Star songs are my kind of music to listen to in the wee hours of the morning. It has that taste of loneliness that feels great at this time of the day. Also, it makes me dizzy. But I like the way how it is. :)

Boring days, don't we all have that? Hard days and sad nights, too?  Boring days? There won't be such thing when you make yourself productive. But there are times that we find ourselves sitting in front of the tv or computer and not doing something important. Sometimes we even complain and let everyone know how bored we are through social networking sites *guilty* . This semestral break, unlike the past years I've decided to stay at home and not go out to some adventures. I feel like I really need to know myself more by spending at home and do home chores and other things. Surely, there were boring days that made me want to go out, drink, and stuff but then I realized that when I get bored, I don't necessarily need to go out and party, all I need is to think of creative ways to get out of the situation. Since I've been always out for the past years. And so far I have done things that I never thought I would do. And I am happy about it. I love adventures but I...

Ingredients: Ripe mangoes  Graham crackers Cream Condensed milk Procedure: In a tray, put first Grahams crackers. Followed by thin-sliced ripe mangoes. Then pour the combined cream and condensed milk. Then another layer of Graham crackers. Use crushed grahams for the last layer. Chill it for hours and it's good to go. Notes: For this, we had three layers.  Crushed grahams or simply the  normal  Grahams intentionally crushed; it's still the same.

It has always been fall for me.  A shot taken in my favorite beach some years ago (hence the crappy watermark. sorry about that.) I will assume you know the song that goes: "Winter, spring, summer or fall. All you've got to do is call. And I'll be there. You've got a friend."  I've got a lot of things to say about every season but for now, I'm all about fall . During fall, trees change the color of their leaves, and it gets less warm. Things seem to get so confusing. One time, I'm happy on what I am doing. At one point, I am starting to suck at it. It always go this way. More like living in a curse. A curse that says: I can't be too much happy in life. I get it now. Figured that I need to change some things -- and by some things, I meant THINGS. When people say bad things at you, when they make you feel bad about yourself, would you still want to be with these people? What if they never really cared? What if they will never car...

I bought this book last year (or maybe last, last year) and from then it was just sitting in my book shelf. I tried to read it though but it didn't interest me much or maybe because my mind was busy thinking of something else so I couldn't focus. Anyway, at long last, I have finally read it and it gave me a night full of thoughts about how lovely the story was -- yes, it's a love story , and some other things. :) What do you get in buying books from some old book shop? Yes, a price tag in front of the cover, covering the title of the book! I don't like it but then there goes the " don't judge the book by its cover" -- it's a good book, really :) Mo Clark set foot to Finland for the Scholar and Athlete Exchange to work on ski jumps. Also, to escape from the shadow of his well-known family, especially her dad. She is very excited to join the Olympics. Though women athletes are not allowed to play for the Olympics (which I didn't know until I re...
