CHASING LIGHT

In between the past few days of walking the streets of a foreign land and the days to come with a huge waterfall of work, I squeeze myself into a tiny hole of chance to normally breathe. Like a light persistently creeping into a crack.

It's been a while since my last Chasing Light post.

END OF THE WEEKEND

The road to the weekend is tedious and slow, yet once it comes, you can never have enough. Here's a set of photos from Bag of Beans' mini garden; my simple reminder of the good times away from work. Happy end of the weekend to all! :D

LET THE LIGHT IN

SANTA CLAUS IS COMING TO TOWN

  

WHITE AND WOOD

My Canon AE-1 Program camera's shutter all of a sudden stopped working last September, and how unfortunate for it to happen while I was at Bag of Beans. I wrote in on stone that I'll be back for more with a decent-working shutter. And sure enough, I did! How couldn't I? :)

I've always loved the mixture of white and wood (I love wood textures, in general) around this place. Being situated in Tagaytay, the cool wind really brings out a cozier atmosphere, making it perfect and okay to just feel lazy. Like you just want to curl up on your seat with a blanket, while cradling a cup of their houseblend coffee, or cuddle the pillows while having conversations with your bestfriend and lose the concept of time.

It was not a surprise that I finished a roll just being here, and I've been chopping up the parts through posts just so I still have more to look forward to. Will be posting another batch next time :)

DAMP AND GREEN

 

GREAT MORNING

 Breakfast is not my favorite meal of the day just for nothing :)

BOB

I am in love with Bag of Beans now, more than ever. I haven’t been in a while here, and apparently they did some minor renovation with the door and windows in the buffet side. Also, each table now has a vase with flowers, a simple addition to the cozy look, but has immensely freshened up the ambiance. I really love the part when I went back to the table from getting food, and for a split second there it’s like I’m in a different place. The way the light hit the wooden tables and chairs spoke of warmth, joy and serenity.

(Plus, their breakfast buffet now serves bacon! Hundred points for Gryffindor! What’s the point of eating at a breakfast buffet without it, anyway?)

I picked the window-side table just so I could be backed up with enough light to take photos; unfortunately, this is the part where my camera’s shutter release button started to be a Kill Joy and decided to just simply stop firing. Hence, the completely blurred shot of the orgasmic blueberry cheesecake.

I have to come back.

MORE OF BAG OF BEANS

(Seems I forgot these already since my film scans came back from the lab. Film is starting to take me over?) More shots from Bag of Beans visit last month. Love their simple yet fresh look!

BREAKFAST. BUFFET. BAG. BEANS.

Always a great time when mornings are spent at Bag of Beans in Tagaytay! Great coffee, good food and THE BEST (blueberry) cheesecake that has ever landed on my mouth. It’s a wonder how such food sooo good even exist! It’s so perfect, it’s unfuckingbelievable.
