here's to those who enjoy sex as much as humans do

my first day off since i came to dumaguete. thank you dad for deciding to celebrate your birthday with your favorite despite only daughter here in the city of universities. mwah! but unfortunately my dad couldn't join us for this trip to the sand bar. what a way to celebrate huh? but calvin was there. proxy. haha. and his beaux for a daughter dior, which i would like to officially change to DORA THE EXPLORER!! you'll see why in a bit.

now, isn't this the purrrfect spot to chill. i just wish i had tons of beer. to drink and to help my tan. oh well, not everyone gets their cake and eats it too..

TADA!!! HERE IS DORA!!!! hahahaha. i told ya... and off we go to explore unchartered waters..

this was my first time dolphin watching really. closest i've been to them before, was TV.



here's one taking a peek at us. "we are but humble explorers!!"

there were at least 30 of them swimming around. either that or it was the same group and they swam really fast to get to different spots in the area!

the hut we stayed in. it was pretty cheap considering the awesomeness of the water!!
i bet she had loads of fun!:) i just hope she remembers this trip. hehehe

here's my brother and his wife jade with dora:)

and here's our tourguides. my cousin annamae and her hubby charles. nice job guys! we had fun! let's do this more often!:D

in the city that always seems to sleep

i've officially moved to dumaguete. it is this small city in negros oriental where to population is around 100,000 give or take but it feels so congested because everyone hangs out in the same place. the mall that is. or maybe i do so that's why i feel that they are always following me. i have been here two weeks now and everyday, it's the same routine, wake up, swim, eat chocolate oatmeal for breakfast, go to work, go home for lunch, siesta, go back to work, wait for store to close, go home, and watch videos until i fall asleep. i thank god i have a boyfriend to talk to otherwise i'd develop foot and mouth disease.. aka having your foot in your mouth because you hardly get to talk. i try to spice things up sometimes.. like i have a break and drink coffee (which is like my favourite drink these days) or i edit photos instead of watching videos... exciting changes yes? oh definitely.

family is great here though. i havent hung out with them for the longest time. i remember coming here during the summers when i wouldn't want to learn piano or tap dancing. no mom. no thanks. i'd rather get a job. so that's what i did. i'd pick up baskets at the supermarket, put price tags on items at the department store. decent job and awesome pay. 30 to 70 pesos a day. considering i never had any daily allowance until i reached college, even 10 bucks a day would thrill me.

i think i just need time to adjust. i still feel incompetent. everyone knows what to do and they all seem so busy. but i'm here sitting down.. trying to find things to do, and after i've done all there is to do, i pretend to still have something work-related to do. but really, i'm blogging or dreaming. i'm hoping this is just a beginner's phase. newbie on hiatus. but i am learning a lot. i hope i get better or busier soon. fingers and toes crossed.

i should not stop with my photos! im just lazy all the time. *GRRRRR's self* i WILL edit photos once a week. like on sundays. if not, may ants crawl up my ass and sting me! so i will see you next week with at least ONE photo. i'd like to start with beijing.. but that's still far away. i think i'd be less lazy if i were thinner.

WISH ME LUCK!!!! xx

home

Worthy? What do you think of me?
Beauty isn't all that my eyes can see
Wonderful is the way that you sway me
Sing to me the lullaby of wind and tree

I eat the fruit from bountiful grace
I find solace in your shade and embrace
I take you whole from root to fruit
It's just the way I am today

Worthy? What do you think of me?
I've taken all there is to take. Now can you see me?
Wonderful is all you've ever been to me
Sing to me the lullaby of wind and tree

Moon shines down on my face, I have no shade
Shooting stars grace my darkest skies. Do I deserve to see?

Sing to me the lullaby of wind and tree

we all need exercise

that's fake excerise to you! hahaha. had an amazing weekend. and we saw this huge crowd doing their morning exercises to lisa loeb, and the moffattssssss. so we just had to join in!
*i love it when i'm around you. i laugh enough to give me abs*

bokeh galore

welcome to bokeh world! hahahha. i was really amazed watching those tiny hearts.
this was dedicated to my love.
and ON THE SAME DAY! it was my brother's anniversary. i think it was their first kiss, or first date, or something of that sort. too much sary sary for me!
radio bokeh
the rain

and since kate requested for a star i made her one.

and while i was at it, i made the moon as well!

i made my first bokeh sampler out of ordinary paper, but a thicker kind. then i realized i had to make so many pieces for different shapes. stars, moons, hearts. crazy!

soooooo

i made
a sampler!!!!
where you can change shapes using just one bodeeeeyh!!
so yummmyyyyy!!!

my first time "skateboarding"

so bea and ria planned to go skate boarding. and apparently its a big thing these days coz chay said that gino is really into it. and the peeps in manila are crazy about it as well. so i was like "ooh why not check it out". just check. no try. i have no sense of balance even if the entire world depended on me for it. anyway. just wanted to shoot. thank you ria for being my muse once again. just like old times. unfortunately, my strobist-attempt was an epic failure. had to play with the photo to achieve that look. oh well. im young.
that's bea showing her skills going down paseo john. sweet.
what's a photo shoot without a self portrait right. i am vain in some ways. well mostly my feet and shadows are.
another failed attempt. so sad. but i have a master teaching me the ropes. hopefully ill get it soon.
bea giving her glow and that's a new friend hannah, the pro-est skater i know. hahaha. she's amazing
the girls being lovely.
sharing tips i guess.
i had to hide in the shade coz the sun was scorching hot. it is true. CEBU HEAT is fucking insane when it wants to be.
the sweet spot in maria luisa.
that's lor. he's amazing as well.
basically, they went up and down this road. i was amazed already because i couldn't even stand on the board for a few seconds.*sheeeeesh*
someone stole the munchies. and they just gave up the chase. haha
that is clearly not the proper attire for boarding. unless you're into battle scars and all that scary shit. so yes kids. protect yourselves! in all activities!
ria, taking lessons from the pro
again me, hiding in the shade. teehee
yeeeeheeeeeesss
this was butoy playing with amadika. he likes my new wide. cant wait to get my hands on those full frames! this would be even wider. soooo delish!
lor steppin on my precious shadow!!!
film is always the best way to go if you want insanely amazing quality. but its just tedious to maintain.
im testing my bokeh "lens". yes. i hand crafted this amazing "lens". ill show it in my next update. its awesome. maybe ill sell it at ebay for a few thousand bucks? it took a loong time to make it!!
pretty sighs
starlike munchies!!

so toned. so toned.
glide i say!
serious business
look at the stars and how they shine for you!!!
trippy wheels
the day almost ended and they stopped skating. and started talking about the good ol' days:)
it was just the perfect day
about music, about kids back then, about spoiled brats, about alcohol tolerance, about not so fantastic parenting...

it was a good end to the perfect weather.

so okay, my title was really lying, but i did get on a board. that's skate boarding in my book! *hang loose brah!!* or is that what the surfers say?! no idea. back to my shell now! tahtah
