So my bestfriend is PREGNANT!OMG! *I hope I am too. lol,* The last time I saw her was the last photoshoot (and blogpost) we had and now she's about to have a baby! Time flies so fast. We took photos inside their lovely home full of nature's vibe. This is my first maternity shoot btw.

I have a barbie friend and her name is Astraea. Before, her name sounded like a name of a constellation to me. Haha. Anyways, it was her first time to do a photo shoot and she told me that maybe i was having a hard time taking photos of her because it was her first time. But actually I didn't! It was fun working with her. About her hair, it is real, it is pink and i love how it made people to look at her instantly.

Long years

2015-07-06T20:04:00.000-07:00

I can't remember when was my last post, it feels like a year ago and I don't know how to start blogging anymore!

Me and my high school best friend AL met again after six years! Though we're on the same area in the province and back in the city, she's in Manila while I'm only in Quezon City, we don't get to interact much and we really didn't get to see each other for six years. Can you believe that? We might actually have forgotten each other. lol. But thanks to our talents, we're back together again...and nothing much has changed except for AL's hair. Haha!

I like that we continuously grow as artists. Me as a photographer and AL's make up talent. That's why after six years, we decided to finally again meet for a photo shoot. ;)

Arrivideci Italia

2014-12-28T07:22:00.000-08:00

Though this post will be a very late post about my trip back to Italy from Spain, for the sake of my memories and the nice photos that I took, I'll be writing it here. This would be my last post from my Italy-Spain-Italy tour. #quickpost

MILAN. Me with my relatives went to Milan to attend a singing contest. We left Rome at 2am and got to Milan at 7am, I guess we're the earliest to arrive. There's a lot of time to kill before the final stage rehearsal will start so before going to the event proper we took a little walk in the second biggest city in Italy. Milan is nice but I like it better at Rome. ;)

Duomo

Shopping and dining place. The structures were very luxurious.

Streets in Milan

Don't you just love this vintage tram? thought every tram in Europe was like this but there's none of this in Rome. Sad thing I didn't get to ride in it.

PISA. I always thought that it would really be so tall! But when I get off the car and saw the tower from afar, I was a bit disappointed. My friend expects the same thing too. So if you also thought that the Leaning tower of Pisa is so high then you better accept that it is not. But just on the first look. Because when you really look or come closer, you'll notice that it is really a bit high. It is so cool to see a lot of people taking the coolest selfie around the tower! People are everywhere in this place.

FIRENZE. My hands are numb and shaking. It was so cold when we arrived in Firenze. I guess we're at the high grounds where we had an amazing view of the city! I'm freezing and some of the kids start to get sick.

After two days of touring around Milan, Lucca(didn't get a pic of this place), Pisa and Firenze, I am back to Rome...touring again. Though I stayed in Rome for so many days, there were just too many places to visit in Rome that I wan't able to visit because of the lack of time. There's almost a hundred places!!! So I guess, I should definitely go back to Italy to see the sights I miss. And I think Sicily would be a perfect destination too!

Arrividerci Italia!

On my flight back home I saw that another plane wants a race. lol

Madrid, Spain

2014-12-18T05:35:00.000-08:00

Most of the buildings around in Italy looks ancient, while in Barcelona, it look more like a city here in the Philippines because of the architectures and tall buildings, just much cleaner. In Madrid, ancient and modern buildings are present. But I noticed that all the ancient buildings have a statue, if not on the sides then it'll be on the top. I don't know what it represents though. Maybe they were the powerful people of the past.

We stayed in Madrid for 2 nights and 2 days only. It was short but full of fun. I never got bored. Still with ate Marinette with me, we made a lot of new friends there. Sometimes I find it a little funny that they made a schedule who will be spending the tour with us for the rest of the day. I can't actually believe that they planned it really well. From breakfast up to midnight we had our friends with us. Just for one day I met a lot of beautiful people, literally beautiful, in and out.

If I would go back to Madrid, I'll go back because of my new friends. They're awesome! Their bond is so tight, I envy them.

A view from the top of a shopping mall. There's this window where you will see the busy street, Gran Via. I think it would be really cool if I photograph it at night, but sad we're not able to go back because there's still a lot for me to see in Madrid.

They say Spanish couples are so showy when they're in love. Okay, I get it. It's okay for me to see a young couple kissing in front of me, but seeing oldies who have been in their 60's already, kissing in the middle of this street, passionately in slow mo. I can't take that anymore. That's gross.

I am not sure if she's a former queen.

The side building of the Royal Palace

Royal Palace(front).

Almudena Cathedral, where only the Royals got married there.

I felt like I'm in Alice in Wonderland! The garden is so wonderful.

There are so many people who did this for a living. I still wonder how they were able to float or remain like that in mid-air.

Plaza de Cibeles. My friend told me that this building was once buried when an another country invade the Spain. Yes, they covered it with soil because, just like what my friend said, it was Spain's treasure. I find it weird tho. Covering this nice structure with soil. That looks like a hill in my mind.

Thyssen-Bornemisza Museum

Museo del Prado

Look at that tree then look for a man. Now, Do you realize how tall it is?

Templo of Debod. A temple that is originally built by the Egyptians and been moved to Spain. They say there is something cool about this temple. About how the sun rays passes through the tunnels up to that temple, maybe. lol. I can't remember it too well.

Back of the temple.

Best view I've seen

Barcelona, Spain

2014-12-11T08:47:00.000-08:00

After a week of staying at Rome, I grabbed the chance to fly to Spain with my cousin (ate) Marinette. Actually, our trip should be Greece and Spain but because of the flight schedules we wasn't able to go Greece, so we just go ROME-BCN-MRD-ROME instead. (next blogpost will be Madrid) Sometimes I find myself a burden to ate Marinette because she always worry about our flight, like what if we didn't check in on time or miss the flight, the size and weight of our luggages, etc., while I was very very calm and always eating or just checking the place and people.

We landed at Barcelona at 5 PM. It was so hot there unlike Rome that that time we're already got jackets. It was so sad that I brought a lot of winter clothes not knowing that in Barcelona the climate is the same as the Philippines. Good thing the shops there comes in a cheap prices, even the branded like Primark and Zara! I'm not a fan of bags but there's these 2.50euro clutch from Primark that I bought, because that's a steal!! Other than shops, in Spain they have KFC and Dunkin' Donuts that Italy doesn't have--at the time I was there. Because Italy doesn't have those fastfood chains my cousins wanted to eat there badly, so right after our friends welcomed us at Barcelona ate Marinette already asked to eat at KFC! (A week after my departure a KFC opened in Rome)

I met a lot of friends here than Rome. Maybe that's why I like Spain better than Rome. I love the people, but maybe not the language. I'm really not familiar with it, imagine, I came from Philippines where our language is tagalog and english, fly to Rome, my birthplace where I can understand a little of Italian(because my parents used the language at home sometimes and i find it easy to learn too. And then after a week, I'm in a new country with a different language that I never try to learn before. Sometimes I feel out of place because I'm the only one can't relate.
Good thing they know tagalog.

At Spain, we always commute. Most filipinos there don't own a car because the mode of transportation there is very well provided and there were so many lines of trains. Every time we rode the bus, before we reach the next station I always hear "propera parada", i guess the meaning of the phrase is "next stop". I am so absorbed when I hear the propera parada phrase at the bus. lol. So one time, tired me and my tired friends surrounded by Spanish peoples were waiting for the bus, and me, out of nowhere, say propera parada propera parada propera parada propera parada hundred times! That was so childish and so embarrassing, people were staring at me like I'm an idiot. But we just laugh at myself nalang. lol Another thing that I find cool when you're in a country with a different language from yours is that you can say whatever you want to say, even the bad comments, like my ate who talked loudly at the bus saying "ang lakas naman ng anghit nitong katabi ko!". I was shocked when she say that, though I find it really awesome. loooool!

We stayed at Barcelona for 3 nights and 3 days, I don't get to take a lot of pictures with my cam because I was busy chatting and making friends. Here are some of the places I've been.

Barcelona baby!!!

Lots of walk. If you can see the bridge on the right side of the big bridge, we walked from where I stand to there. My friends told me "its so near, we can just walk" I'm like, "really? its so hot and we'll walk up to there?!?!?!?! OKAYYYY"

A hundred years roots

A cactus place. I feel like I'm in Mexico. HAHA!

It looks like a skeleton of a rocket ship or a cactus from afar.

Colombus Monument

Sagrada Familia by Antonio Gaudi. A building that is full of art and mystery. Why don't they just finish it? Really.

Another by Gaudi, Casa Batllo. This is my favorite building in Barcelona. I love how magical(for me) this building is! There's a half mask on every window, i love it that i bought a miniature of this building before leaving barcelona. ;)

beside Casa Batllo is Casa Amatller. I wonder who lived here before.

Our last destination before leaving to Madrid is Park Guell, a public park composed of gardens and architectures made by Gaudi. The place is so awesome! A place of art.

How did they put all the stones or whatever it is together? well, ate Carol told me that they put it all together with their salivas. lol. Just kidding! If that was true, I wonder how thirsty they was at those times of work! HAHA!

No, its not a gingerbread house. But it really looks like one right?

Next post will be about Madrid.

Again, thank you Barcelona friends especially to my besties! Haha. I wish to see you all soon again in the Philippines naman.

One thing I can't forget about my trip here is we came home very late every night, like 1AM then get up early in the morning for church. That made me sleep at the public transpo, my favorite is the Metro.

Ciao Roma!

2014-12-08T20:13:00.000-08:00

I dedicate this post to my friends that I miss the most and to those who really want to know my experience there.

It has been almost a month now from the day I came back from Italy. I didn't blog a lot nowadays because I just don't feel like it, and also, I really don't have the motivation to write. Sometimes, I think that I lost my little passion for this stuff and photography. But, here I am now, blogging. Again. Saving and sharing the memories online.

I was born at Italy and lived there til I was four, i think? and every time that my friends will ask me what Italy looks like, or what does snow looks like... I said nothing. I felt like I was never born nor lived there because I was still a kid at that time. So the only thing that tells the story is the photo albums. Okaaaaay.... So this year, the year I finished college, my parents let me go to Italy for the first time, all alone! It has been 16 years and I was just so excited to go, I just realized now(yes, just now) that I travel alone for the first time, overseas, alone for the first time and before my papa took me to the airport I never felt nervous. Am I really that independent now? I always want to be alone, but there are moments that i'll just think "why I'm alone?" "why do i want to be alone?" "why were people not with me now?" "do they feel bored with me?". Okay, maybe I just have to accept that sometimes I am closing those doors to be with somebody who wants to be with me but I just don't feel like I want them with me, that I'm always sticking to the people who doesn't like me while i'm feeling the other way around.

Let's get back to my trip, it was my first time as an adult to ride an airplane and people told me to chew lots of gums during the take off and landing of the aircraft, so I won't feel much air pressure in my ears. I did that during the take off from PH and I felt like a fool chewing gums because it was just me who chewed gums during the take off. lol. 20 minutes before landing to Hong Kong, I felt all the air pressure in my ears, i'm a paranoid kind of girl, and I felt like the pain in my ears is connected to my brain and soon I will be deaf. *lol*Then I tell myself, if only an airplane is a roller coaster, I will tell the pilot to stop so I can get off. *face palm* Good thing I manage to calm myself until we landed to Hong Kong, I'm so relieved I'm not deaf. Haha! I even ask my friend to ask google what should I do to decrease the ear pressure. HAHA. then he answered yawning and chewing gums. Because chewing gums don't work, I yawned and yawned like a fool at airport. (Guess who's laughing at herself now. hahahaha)

If you want to see my daily ig pictures of my tour, click here, Lalaine Photos

In PH, we always joke around like this: "I wish our country will be air conditioned someday".

When I get off the airplane at Italy, cold winds touches my skin and I said to myself, "so this is what an air conditioned country feels like. Haha! It feels good, I really am in another place, i love the weather". My uncles picked me up at the airport. On our way, I was like a bit disappointed of what I saw. There's no buildings around, there maybe a few but the walls are full of vandalism. I didn't picture Italy like that though. There are no tall buildings in Italy, you can actually count how many floors a building has within a second, that's because they say Italians give a big importance to their history. They will even stop building a metro train rails if they found a relic and probably look for more. I guess that is the reason why they only have a few train lines in Rome.

Moving forward, my cousin Megan is my everyday companion in Rome, she's just 14 and can't understand well of tagalog, so sometimes I'm having a hard time talking to her because I doubt if she can really understand what i'm saying. We always ride the bus and the train if we're to go out and unlike in PH, it is so convenient to go to one place to another by commuting or maybe just walk, if a car is not available. Speaking of walking, I guess there's no place in Europe where you will never walk a mile or so if touring around. Because I'm on a tour, I walked a lot! Like 8 kilometers a day. I thought I can burn my fats just by walking that long because I'm eating all the good food there...but no, the fats are still with me. It's been a month now! Hahaha!

For a day, Megan and I went out for a trip to Foro Romano, Colosseo, Piazza Venezia and Via del Corso. We walked until are feet and legs got tired. Here, I really feel that I'm in Italy. I can see their history very well and there were so many ruins, I lost count. I wonder, what would it feels like if there where really time travelers, you know, like in the movies or what if I am born in the past and not today. Sometimes, I just had those thoughts and feelings, like I want to know what it feels like to live in the ancient world. Did you have those thoughts too?*lol! too much imagination here!*

Colloseo

Arch of Constantine

Piazza Venezia

On our way to Foro Romano

ancient buildings in every corner

black shoes and a lady who noticed me

The Column of Marcus Aurelius in Piazza Colona. The history is inscribed and preserved wonderfully, I find it as a cool way to tell history publicly.

Along Via del Corso there is an H&M branch this BIG! The building is just for H&M, no one got out empty handed.

I was at via del corso thrice a week on my first week. I just love being there seeing so much people all over the world, street artist everywhere like painters, musicians and performers, lots of shops where cheap and branded are all present. This street is always full of life.

Street painters, they're the coolest! They can finish a very magical paintings with their spray paint and some little tools for only 7 minutes or so.

This is how people gather when someone is painting like the above photo.

On the other day, Darren and I went to Pantheon. A church where there is central opening in the very middle of the dome-like ceiling.

Obelisk of Ramases II at the end of via del corso. You can encounter lots of street performers here.

I'm so disappointed not to see the famous Fontana di Trevi working. They say its under renovation for 4 months but still not finished, however, the officials made a little bridge for the tourist to have a closer look, throw a coin and make a wish.

Fountain in the middle of the road. I find the fountains add more drama to their city.

kids at the Termini

that's all for now, next time I will share about my trip to Spain.

Did this post during the hit of Typhoon Ruby because I'm stuck at home and there's nothing to do.

I wish everyone is safe.

Grace Apartment (A place to stay in Rome)

2014-12-02T07:19:00.002-08:00

The place is spacious ,peaceful and luxurious. That would be my first impression when I enter the room. I love my stay there a lot, I was alone and sometimes I just don't want to get out for a stroll and just stay inside instead, have a quality time reading in a very very lovely chair beside the window or just lie in the bed enjoying the view of the old designed ceiling and very gothic chandelier. (Did I just say that I love the furniture that much? lol. Sorry, can't help it.)

The apartment have 3rooms, 2 bathrooms, a kitchen, a wardrobe room and living room. Everything works fine inside the room, they have a washing machine, heater, air condition, wi-fi, a complete dining set, iron thing-ies, stoves, microwave and refrigerator. Everything is furnished with care.

The location of the place is a little bit far though, but it's okay, there's a tram a few meters away that you can take and you'll be at Piazza Venezia already, from there you can just walk around and discover the history Rome. Well, history is everywhere in Rome though. lol.

As I said, I was alone in the apartment, I didn't get bored because I get friends with the receptionist downstairs, he's a Filipino so we have the same language and we chatted a lot. He told me that he can take me around Rome and take/fetch me to/from the airport if I wanted to. That's what they offer there. He's is very easy to talk to and reliable. I recommend this place for families or company groups because it is spacious.

Located at Via di San Francesco a Ripa in Trastevere

Good mornings need an obligatory selfie. =)

Master's Bedroom. Yeah, I'm so lazy to clean it up for a pic. That's a pillow at the corner and the cabinet that totally freaks me out. I didn't open it.

2014-06-19T07:24:00.000-07:00

My previous post is all about babies. They are now my number one client and my favorite, especially this little girl. She is my first baby client, I took pictures of her when she was only 3 weeks old. After almost a year, her mom called me to do a shoot for Clyse's 1st birthday. Upon seeing Clyse again, I can't believe that she was the baby I met a year ago. Because on the location of our shoot, she is so talkative and hyper! Unlike before that it was so hard for me to get pictures of her because she cries a lot! On the other news, she already have a little sister named Claren and I guess she's the opposite of Clyse.

ABOUT ME

2014-05-24T08:28:00.001-07:00

Thank you for all the birthday greetings! I appreciate it a lot.

I wish you all the blessings and good health too!

I wish too see you all soon!

Today is my birthday and I've got nothing to do so I did this. A 20FACTS about me.

1. When I was 13 I thought that when I reached the age of 20 I already have a boyfriend. But I'm so wrong! So I'll change it to 22 now. Hahaha

2. Internet people influenced me a lot. Blogs like, the road is home, Documenting Delight, searching for tomorrow and many more made me a different person. Now, I became more observant, appreciate the little things and my ideas broaden.

3. I love hugging girls. Because I feel awkward with the boys. Hahaha

4. I know how to cook, but its not that tasty though. One time I tried to make Corn Maja but it turns out like ice cream. lol. I cooked a lot for my friends, I was so embarassed that I told them that they can throw it away if they don't like it.

5. My friends are bullies...to me. Even though they keep on bullying me they're the one that I treasured the most.

6. I wish someone could love me back and be my Maxon. (I just finished reading The One this afternoon, I can't moved on with the story.)

7. During tough times, I'm trying to be brave for the people around me, but deep inside of me, I'm broken too.

8. I'm not good in delivering jokes. So when I tell the funniest joke I thought, it comes out so corny.

9. If I pursue photography, i guess babies and kids will be my top clients.

10. I don't like taking photographs of my close relatives because I feel awkward with them. (does this happen to you too?)

11. Nothing special happened today. Meeting, visitation, ALS teaching, work, church duty, and now blogging. Nothing special happened today.

12. Other people don't like picture frames as a gift. So if you happen to get one and hate it, don't break it. Just give it to me. I love those!

13. I'm a person full of sorry's and thank you's.

14. I want to dye my hair. I love the brunette type of color. But I'm just afraid to pick a color that will make my skin tone darker.

15. I'm a Jonas Brothers and a Katy Perry fan.

16. In the future, I would like to go back to my birthplace, Rome, and to some other parts of Asia. Bali for sure. I wish it'll happen.

17. I really wanna get fit and eat clean. Maybe have abs too? But I can't! why? because I can't tolerate food for so long(and eating clean is a bit expensive too.)

18. What are the things I like to do? thrift shopping, crafts, music, travel, photography, exercise (sometimes) and a lot more.

19. I love books, from January this year, I already read 8 books. Finished 4 of them in a week. Also, I have this book that was so boring that it took me a month and a half to finally finish it.

20. Do you know the birthday atmosphere? Its like, when you wake up in the morning, you know that it is your very special day of the year, your birthday! Today, I didn't feel that. But thanks to Facebook for reminding my friends and some strangers to greet me. Somehow I feel special.

Baby Breyanie

2014-05-15T06:41:00.000-07:00

My second baby client, Breyanie. One year and a month old.

I'm loving kids right now, i mean, during the shoot I don't need to tell them what to do because their kids. And when you shoot kids, you'll just have to wait and see what they will be doing next(even though sometimes they act hysterically).

Wind of Summer

2014-04-30T08:40:00.001-07:00

Some of my sight club friends visited my province, Candelaria, Quezon, last week. They only stay at our place for only 2 days, not enough to go to the beach, eat out and hang out a lot. So I took them to Silangang Nayon (which is located at Pagbilao) so they can eat seafoods(instead of pasta and meat) and enjoy the view of the sea and some islands. To my surprise, they don't like seafoods so I was like "we drove almost 1 and half hour to get in here and you guys don't like sea foods?!? Seriously?! You should've told me earlier so I took you guys to Pizza Hut!" They're so insaneeee! Haha.

In the other news, it was the first time that my papa let me drove our car without a professional driver with me. I feel so nervous. Okay, not so much. I got some friends with me. Hihihi. I'm actually not a professional parking driver so when it comes to parking I always have my fingers crossed. I always want the parking lot to be so spacious so I will be a little bit free from accident or "sabit". Hahahaha. That day, I was so amazed that I'm electrified*lol* that I can park the car at the SM parking lot! I was so happy because I never perfected one, it always results to "okay na yan" kind of park. looool. The greatest thing that happened that day is that we had fun and we came home safe and sound.

After 15 years

2014-04-19T23:14:00.000-07:00

Last Friday, April 11, I finally graduated from assignments and other school stuff! Yey!!!

Here are some creative shots that my sight club co-members took for me.

It was just a quick(because the gown was so hot to wear) shoot but we got cool shots and it only took place within the campus :)) Thanks Jeanica and Kenneth!

Yesterday's blah blah

2014-03-28T07:31:00.000-07:00

Now I believe in the saying "Everything happens for a reason". Because a week ago I posted something on Facebook that I want to do a shoot in a car park. My friends, even my long distance friends commented that they want to join in! I was so excited then, everything is almost done, except the location. But something happened two days before the shoot. Almost everyone backed out and so I cancelled the shoot which made me so disappointed and sad. Yesterday was the day of my cancelled shoot and it rained yesterday. I realized that I should not be sad that the shoot was cancelled because I will suffer more if my friends will get wet(and their cameras too) and get sick. Anyways, I spent my "yesterday" watching Divergent alone and spending funny moments with my best friend. It was a fun day!

My "yesterday" story was nothing to do about the photos. Haha!

This set of photos was done with my new found friends(people from NEU Sweethearts). For me, everything seems better when I found new friends in the field of photography.

WARNING: too much photos!

with the team. We don't have a tripod. Haha!

Hello Katie

2014-03-22T20:00:00.002-07:00

Hello! This is a late post. Sorry. *lame excuses on the way, LOL!* I took this photos weeks ago and I just forgot to upload this photos here. Okay, so about the photos, my cousin's girlfriend, Kate, ask me to take photos of her clothes for her new online shop*yes! the model is her*. Maybe you guys want to take a look of her first collection(and maybe buy na rin) because summer is just around the corner and you know, super hot season needs comfy clothes and Kate's collection has it! One more thing, not expensive.

Note: I am not sure if the clothes are still available or not, so be sure to check her Facebook page, Hello Katie.

Apartment 8

2014-03-11T19:59:00.000-07:00

Hi! I would like to talk about a clothing brand that we have here in the Philippines that I love. It'sApartment 8! The design are so lovely and very chic and I like that their products are so new, I mean, not ordinary or a copied design of some famous brand. One more thing I love the most is the fabric. I don't know what's the type or what it was called but it is surely nice. It's smooth and thick, but you will not sweat because of the thickness. It's very comfortable to wear.

So when we had our Graduation Night, I went to Apt. 8 to buy something and this is what I got. Isn't so chic?

I lost you, but you don't lose me

2014-02-02T04:43:00.000-08:00

I was lost in my blog since my last post. It was because I didn't have the motivation to get my camera and shoot because of the loads of work that was given to me. I've been to different places and met a lot of good, fun, wealthy, creative and annoying people. I actually miss this thing, sharing my life to the world. I don't want to tell a lot of stories about what happened in January. It was a bit depressing actually. Yesterday, at the class I felt like I'm not learning anything at all. It's like, today I will learn, tomorrow I remember, the other day I'll forget almost everything. It's my last semester and I feel bad about what is happening right now.

If you're reading this, I'm sorry. I guess you feel bad about me too, a bit stressing maybe.

But anyways, this is the truth and I want to remember this times in my life where I feel so low and not okay.

About the photos, me and roma took photos together outside of the office. She didn't know how to use my dslr so I just teach her some basic composition that I like.

My pose is a bit awkward, sorry. yaiks.

Hello!

I'm here now at home. Spending time with my family and eating a lot! I'm gonna stay here for just two weeks so I decided not to bring a lot of clothes with me. But that was a really wrong decision. *insert sad face* And for that matter, I often had a hard time thinking what I should wear because I already outgrown my nice clothes leaving shirts and tanks behind which I do not feel like wearing. However, my outfit today is consist of all my old clothes which I don't wear that much. And I guess, it looks good and pleasing. My sister told me that I'm wearing the Philippine flag with my red, blue, yellow outfit. Lol.

Because EJ wasn't around, my sister ~~boringly~~ took the photos for me. Not that bad huh? :)

I don't get enough sleep and good nutrition lately. It was a week ago that I had a very good sleep. I hate not having enough sleep and will work non stop throughout the day, I feel that I'm not healthy anymore. I mean, my body and mind is not working very well, like, I often forgot about things and easily get stressed out. yay! Also, I can see my tummy getting bigger because of sodas, junkfoods and fast food meals. *feeling so bad right now* So I feel sorry about my body now. I'm trying to exercise again but I was super lazy to do it. What to do? However, today, I'm trying my best to get back into the good shape, as a matter of fact, I refuse to eat cake! Hahaha. #hardtimes Photo by EJ

Time flies so fast. It's now the second day of December and after 4 months I ~~hope~~ will be graduating! For the past few days I was so busy with the different activities at school, plus I'm trying to seek and reach of our inactive member of our camera club. It was fun though. I get to see and meet new faces and share my skills by teaching them the basic camera settings and tips. About the outfit, I first saw the shirt on the web worn by Ashley Tisdale and after that I start looking for shirts like this. Glad that Strings Manila have it! Photos by EJ.

Last week I was all alone in our apartment in Manila. Seminars, photo shoot and church duties are keeping me away from home for so long. I eat alone. Stroll alone. Laugh alone. Sleep and wake up alone. Mannn, I'm such an loner! Everyday, when I woke up, I just turn on the television so I don't feel alone anymore. KrisTv is my favorite morning show right now. Recently, most of their featured shows were all about good places to eat, most of those are only around Manila. Everyday I crave and I hate those moments, because I'm trying my best to be fit. But, it is so hard to resist especially when the food is free! So when my cousin came and our enrollment was rescheduled--which means, I got a company at home for 2 or 3 days. I asked him to eat out and they brought me here, Stacy's!

I love the place. The place is full of cute and vintage stuff and will surely give you that young vibrations! Actually, I did a mini photo shoot there. Just for my cousin's girlfriend, Kate. Maybe you can take a look on her other outfits on her lookbook here.

Sorry I got no photos about the food. Hungry for sure. The foods are fantastic and I love their plates! Haha ;)
