Hiraya: SimilarObjects. I went through this blog’s archives a couple of days ago, and I realized my posts have been very, very lazy lately. After a semi-existential crisis (Why don’t I put two portrait pictures side by side anymore? Oh wow, I used to make covers for my sets? What happened to the mini-series I swore I’ll complete? Is my life still worth living?*) I’ve come to a realization:

I will, once again, put two portrait pictures side by side. It’s just prettier that way.**

*Just kidding. On that last question, at least.

**Pardon me. I’m being a drama queen.

PS: The pictures are rather stretched because I forgot to renew my Flickr Pro account, and it’s only giving me the link to a resized version.

Pumped Up Kicks. I’m pretty sure I speak for my entire generation when I say that when we were kids, Skechers was the shit. Everyone wanted one that it already became a status symbol. You’re wearing Skechers? You’re cool.

After ten years, through my eight-year old sister, I discover that it still is. This is the only kind of sneakers she agrees to wear – Skechers have this line of metallic, glittery and illuminating shoes called TwinkleToes. She discovered them one day, and never looked back since.

Adventure Awaits. You know how you make all these plans for summer a couple of weeks before it actually begins? I’m pretty sure everyone has their list, and I’m also pretty sure that by the end of summer, not more than half is crossed out. Well, summer’s officially over for me. (I never really count the first week of school as school since 90% of the time, nothing of slight significance ever happens.) And yup, not more than half of my summer plans had seen fulfillment. But anyway, I shall keep the list, and who knows, next summer might be a better season for adventures.

Adventure awaits. Next summer.

Dirty Whites. I absolutely love dirty white canvas sneakers. They just add a shock value to an outfit through their stark simplicity, and manage to carry an air that’s both rugged and preppy at the same time.

After more than two years, I’m finally putting these bad boys to rest – but not until I’ve secured a fresh new pair for me to tatter again.

Breakfast (or Hangover Remedy). Coffee and cigarettes – I don’t think there exists a more perfect breakfast (or hangover remedy) pair than these two.

Hi, how and where did you make your dp on twitter? :)

Hi! Sorry for responding to this late. I haven't used Tumblr in a while. I used Photoshop! Haha.

Denise and Jara: Post-Shoot. In case you didn’t notice I shot Denise and Jara’s Young Blood in just one day. This is the three of us right after the (surprisingly quick!) shoot we had.

On an unrelated note: what happened to my hair? I wanna run a brush through my screen and fix it.

Aggy’s 18th. There’s one thing you should understand: when my friends and I get together, things can get rather chaotic. I went to Aggy’s debut last Thursday in Makati Sports Club thinking I’d go home with a lot of photos. Well, let’s just say my friends happened. (Not that I’m complaining or anything – I love them.)

Anyway, here are a couple of shots from Aggy’s all-white debut. I love how her reactions during the dances were diverse, if not honest. It was such a refreshing breather from all the smiling debutantes I’ve witnessed.

Like I said in my toast, here’s to the fulfillment of Aggy’s life dreams and aspirations! Love you lots girl! x

On the Rise. A new Young Blood is on the rise. (And I’m pretty sure you guys are very familiar with who she is already.) Watch out for it.
