Pasay Tour

Posted on March 29, 2019by creeper with No comments

When I feel like taking a day off from work, I visit the places I usually go to, but this time I sit, breathe in the fresh air, meditate, and take pictures in a way I don’t normally do when I’m with people.

When I’m alone, I can stay for hours staring at the carousel, manually adjusting my camera so I can get a good shot—not just pointing and shooting like I normally do.

I am an introvert who likes people-watching, so I go to coffee shops, amusement parks, and the Manila Bay area. I also found a spot in the Mall of Asia that is quiet and fresh, where you can just stare at the sky and let the wind blow through your hair.

So that’s what I normally do when I’m on leave: I just walk around, look around, and enjoy being alone.

The land down under

Posted on March 29, 2019by creeper with No comments

I’m reminiscing about the days when I set foot in Land Down Under. Living in the Philippines, everything seemed extraordinary to me while I was there. The cleanliness, the cool weather, the laid-back vibe, and the very friendly people—I can’t blame immigration or the visa officers for being strict when a girl from a third-world country decides to visit. You can’t help but ask yourself, "Do I really want to go back home?" The immediate answer is, “Hell no!” But you know, whatever my hangups with my country are, it’s still my country—a place I can call my own. Even though it sucks sometimes, it’s still a beautiful place, and I think I could never leave it permanently.

Revisit Manila

Revisiting Manila

One cloudy morning, I decided to go to Intramuros to wander and get lost in this historic and beautiful city.

If you are like me and terrible with directions, you can take the pedicab tour they offer. It costs ₱150 per 30 minutes. My tour guide/pedicab driver showed me the must-see places. From Manila Cathedral to Baluarte de San Diego, I made several stops to take pictures, take a deep breath, and marvel at the charming, historical surroundings.

I am jealous of the students who study inside the schools in Intramuros. If I were a student at Mapúa or PLM, I would go to Casa Manila every recess to sit down, sketch, and drink coffee at the nearby café. At lunch, I would take maybe 15 minutes to eat, then go to Baluarte de San Diego to breathe in some fresh air, sit down, and just look at the Manila/Makati skyline. If I got tired of being a student, I could always walk along Muralla Street and imagine I was walking in Vigan. If I didn’t study for an exam, I could always go to Manila Cathedral or San Agustin Church to say a little prayer and ask for a passing grade. It’s crazy to think it’s so close to home, yet feels like stepping back decades into the past.

Tip: If you don’t want to take the full pedicab tour, you can just walk around, or if you get tired, take a pedicab to specific spots. My whole tour took two hours, so it came out to ₱600, plus a ₱100 tip. I know it’s a bit pricey, but I just think of it as helping a family provider trying to make a decent living. Seeing the big smile on his face was reward enough for a good deed that day.

I miss the beach!

Essentials v 2.0

*Sony MDR-XB950AP/H Extra Bass- Thanks to Music Deserves Respect campaign, I realized I need to buy a descent

headphones since I am a huge fan of music. With this headphones I can hear every beat, every noise that musicians want or

doesn't want us to hear.

*Ipod 4th gen- 8 gb worth of music is a must for a audiophile(??) like me.

*Cds- I also like real things... like cds.. I do like vinyls.. if I have enough money.There is a different feeling every time I

open a cd. I do read the credits... well i enjoy reading them. Musicians spend lot of time

to create music and even the packaging.

*Vicks- I do like inhaling stuff... haha! even if I don't have colds a nice dab in my nose and I am happy.

*Glasses-With my new glasses I feel like I have a superpower. I can see everything.

*Books- What I'm buying when it's payday? yeah books and cds...

*Watercolor pad- learning to use watercolor

*Notebook- I need to write to keep me right... (what??) haha

Photo Challenge- Music Edition

Posted on June 02, 2013by creeper with No comments

So I decided to have this photo challenge. But I wanted something different, so I will use music titles as my photo inspiration. I don't know how will i pull this off, but one thing is for sure- this will be one heck of a fun challenge for me.

I don't plan to post pictures everyday, because I'm quite busy these days. I will just take pictures when I like or if I have to. so no pressure... :)

The first 10 songs are OPM while the second batch are foreign songs. Hope you will do this photo challenge too. Get your camera and let's do this!
