kids with cameras


One of my fondest memories with my nephews were taken this day. They live in another continent so days like these are rare. I was happily surprised when both of them took interest in playing with my cameras. They even did their own mini photowalk that morning. The memory alone makes me chuckle.

I guided them along as they bombard me with questions on how to use the camera (basically how to press the shutter button). My heart would flinch every time they'd take a shot and would call me just to let me see the result :) I know it was all play for them, but it was so nice and endearing how even for a moment the kids loved doing what I love doing now as an adult.

Robert & Francis



With Lolo :)

Shooting me shooting him :)


That smile! <3



Francis having a hard time handling the camera but was still so persistent as seen through his face haha!

One of my most memorable shots

Robert and I stopped on this spot, and I told him our shadows were nice subject to take a photo of. And so we did. And that moment felt a lot like love.

yoki's farm iii


It seems that I got this set of photos from Yoki's Farm lost in my queue. In the middle of all the greeneries, a small tent lies where all the harvested vegetables are prepared and weighed in if you decide to buy. They were selling them for a MUCH cheaper price compared to the packed ones in the groceries, so I took home a huge plastic bag of green leaf and romaine lettuce, and some cilantro. I had lettuce as snack for days until I consumed them all :)

ANTIQUES AT YOKI'S FARM


Aside from the hydroponic plants being grown at Yoki's Farm, it also houses a huge variety of antiques and private collections of the owner. Some of the most fragile ones are kept in a glass room, but my favorites are the very old models of telephones and typewriters :)

YOKI'S FARM | ONE


It was a warm day in May when we visited Yoki's Farm in Tagaytay. The breeze was not chilly at all, which is the opposite of how Tagaytay is known for, but it had the kind of weather that day that would not drench you in sweat either. We arrived at noon, and were immediately guided by one of their staff to pick small fruits from trees, smell some fresh oregano, and learn a little bit about hydroponics.

I was at the tail of the group, as I have always been, because of the occasional stopping and clicking of the camera. I did not catch the entire tour, but it was nice to have some quiet time by myself, hovered by a beautiful sky and surrounded by all greens and browns. I am an Earth person, indeed.
