LIFE AFTER FILM
- Have been able to finally watch Her. I don't follow Joaquin Phoenix's career, but I thought he was out of his body on his character as Theodore, a guy who fell in love with his OS (yes, as in Operating System) voiced by Scarlett Johansson. I would totally jump on this idea of bonding with your operating system if ever this materializes in a not so distant future. I liked the motif of this movie, but what I loved more is the soundtrack. Wow. I did not know Arcade Fire is that good. Their track Song on the Beach so closely reminded me of the theme song of that great old movie Somewhere In Time (with Christopher Reeve and Jane Seymour). Ahhh. Love. it. One question in mind though, what's with the high-waist pants in the future? Haha.
- Currently reading Eleanor & Park (!). Currently falling in love too. Rainbow Rowell is sprinkling her spell on me again. It's not impossible to see me on the bus reading, and casually snorting once in a while. Rainbow is currently writing the screenplay, btw and fyi. I really like her humor!
- My Lolo crush tweeted me!! I have this thing for profane men who can carry it so well, and with charm, then pairs with a wicked smart brain. My attraction really does follow a pattern: Jason Bateman (my future husband), Mo Twister (logical and realistic), this guy (from neverland) and this guy (from faraway) (them who must not be named). All curses with class. F-ing S of a B.
- Still a month before my list of TV series comes back from season break. Been watching second half of Grey's Anatomy S5 during commute on my way home because Arizona Robbins. Ultimate woman crush!
- For the nth time, I killed and resurrected my Twitter and Instagram accounts again. My friends hate me for this. I hate me for it too. Hahaha.
- Adulthood kicked in. Funded my long-term investment at last! :) Which also means I am broke now.
- We're only a month away from the next trip. It has taken its shape, thank God. I think this is the most stressed I've got in any of my trips, to think that I took a tour package when I've never had troubles with my DIY ones. There was a long exchange of emails, negotiation and even asking for favors.
- Speaking of trips, I booked another one before the year ends! No Christmas break leaves for me, but I'm excited to go back to this place and be mesmerized again :) Yay for travels!
- Kimi is celebrating her 2nd birthday today! :) :) She may not be the best-trained pet (haha) but definitely the sweetest (and the derp-iest too :D) Happy birthday to the one who loves me most :p

INTRAMUROS PASYAL SUNDAY
I have already said this before, that one of my dream jobs is to be a part of Department of Tourism's campaign, It's more fun in the Philippines. I think the materials are really fresh, creative and very witty :) I imagine shooting for that campaign must be life-fulfilling, getting to travel and discover more of the thousands of islands in your own land. But while I can see that this dream is not happening when I'm in an office desk eight hours a day at five times a week, my office job pays for the rolls of film I enjoy shooting with when days-off and short trips come, like this one :) I still get to be in my dream job once in a while.
On a one fine Sunday of March, I paid a visit to Viva Manila's flagship project, the Intramuros Pasyal Sunday. Pasyal is a Tagalog word which means, stroll. Simply put, you get to stroll within the Walled City, check out the local artisans, participate in the street fair and even dine after walking the entire Gen. Luna Street.
I only knew about poetry slam when I read Colleen Hoover's book Slammed, and I'm glad to see a live one here :)
Sometimes I feel like I'm one of those kids jumping, reaching for the bubbles of my dreams only to get a few mist in the face. But I say it's still worthwhile :)
P.S. My ultimate dream job is to be a National Geographic photographer. I can visualize it clearly when I sleep :D

ELUSIVE
Generously accommodating a variety of thoughts and feelings about life these days but words have become elusive, once again.

SKY IN THE EYE
Passed by the Mall of Asia Arena one Sunday morning with the clouds reflecting on its glass facade. Too bad that I couldn't capture the entire eye (the shape which it was modeled after) in one photo because I was a bit close and also, the other side is under construction. Nevertheless, it was a great sky in the eye *wink*

WALLED CITY
I'm so glad with how they are trying to revive and restore the oldest city in Manila: Intramuros. Here are some of the many interesting sights within the walled city when we visited for the Intramuros Pasyal Sunday.

TO SHOOT PEOPLE
These photos are still from the fun shoot I did with Q at UP Diliman last November. I usually say that I'm always more comfortable in shooting objects and scenery, but I often find myself drawn to capturing facial and body expressions/angles. I would really like to try to learn and shoot people properly, only with my camera of course :D

SILAHIS IN INTRAMUROS
On the way to Intramuros Pasyal Sunday, we passed by this charming two-storey arts, crafts and book shop called Silahis (sun's rays breaking through a cloud in Tagalog). Loved what I saw in an instant because it's a shop-full of antiques and crafts made mainly from wood. Natural, ethnic and versatile.
They also have a large selection of products from simple souvenirs and woven baskets to furniture and house decors. I'd love to own a wooden dining table! :)

BREATHE AGAIN
I was swept away by a surge of workload last week and thought I'd drown in the waves of stress, pressure and self-doubt. Luckily, weekend has come to save me, and I'm happy to be breathing again.

SUBDUED
Some shots from that friendly shoot in UP.
I admit I am not much of an adventurous when taking photos, creatively speaking. Although most of the time I gush over (and want to try for myself) creative and experimental shots (long and double exposures), I prefer to shoot subjects the way they are simply presented in front of me. Not to bring myself to self-deprecate, but there are times when I see my shots, look at them, and find them.. boring uneventful. So I sometimes go to the edge, and try one or two shots from a roll. Just like this photo below which I just realized, only when I uploaded it here, was a triple exposure. I like how film surprises me :)
Still dreaming of shooting light trails :)
