"I live life with my eyes as my constant full-frame viewfinder."-Jacqueline Harriet

I live in a tropical country with a number of fascinating landscapes, active volcanoes, splendid beaches, blue coral waters and hundreds of tropical forests. I live in a small town where the wind that touches your face is as cold as ice. I’m an around the clock mathlete and I study Accountancy as my major. I have passed my photography tyro stage, yet not quite the pro type. Still, I am a sure hobbyist and I am very much passionate to learn more.

Green Green Grass of Home

   I trust I clearly remember that I swore I’ll be blogging more often. Apparently, I’m a full-time broke. But I have been visiting my tumblr quite often nowadays since I am in desperate need of fixing my codes. I have a big problem with my layout spacing and until now I have no idea how in the world will I deal with it. So for the mean time, forgive my blog’s awful line spacing.

    On the other hand, I have a few photos that might a bit grab your interests. I took this last December 23rd after the whole family went to hear Simbang Gabi. After the mass we found no reason to continue our sleep so we went to the meadow to witness a splendid sunrise in a cold and blustery morning.

   Just look at my sisters, Noellee and Cheena who told me they wanted their photos to appear candid. The initial few shots were flourishing like the first photo below but they ended up trying all the “jeje” poses and such.

   Also this time, we invited Manang Inah who just arrived from Baguio to join us in our usual foolish photoshoot. She was so fascinated when she saw my collection of vintage cameras. The one that she’s bearing is my favorite Polaroid. Well, in point of fact it’s the only polaroid I can operate because its film is the easiest one to locate, not to mention the most economical one as well. An afterthought, the cornfields was indeed the perfect background!

   Still, these would be my most preferred photos. They were originally comic shots but turned out pretty fierce which is no surprise somehow. I love the bokeh and light, the place and time were just ideal. Astonishingly, I have found my way through with the against the light photography and I render my gratefulness to my flickr buddies who gave me a number of tips concerning light and everything.

And lastly, I’ve been converted from a black virgin haired to a demi-redhead. 

 

 

AWKWARD

 I’ve been watching Awkward on MTV for two consecutive nights, which was kind of dysfunctional in the first place. Maybe it was because I don’t tend to watch TV during weekends anymore. I like to take a long rest after sleepless nights on school days.I have nothing else to talk about except this. It just appears so unexciting if I’d be sharing how demanding my college life is.

 I don’t exactly think I’m like Jenna, and besides I’m way pass sophomore year in high school which is like so four years ago. Oh what do you know, time flies so fast. Jenna and I are totally different persons. First is that her hair is way longer than mine, but her bangs look weird. Secondly, my parents are more conservative. Well, even taking into consideration that they’re Filipinos doesn’t deny the fact that Jenna’s parents are a bit too “madcap”. Third would be because I was more outgoing, I bet I dealt with high school drama better than she did. I didn’t end up in such drama in the first place anyway. I wouldn’t try suicide, that’s for sure. Even so, I still envy her in a way. Come on, she dated the hot guys. Nonetheless, boyfriend is the last thing that comes in my mind nowadays, not that I’m totally numb but I overthink about it and I end up assuming that relationships are messy and that they’re 20% motivation and 80% distraction. Back on the first topic, I like the way she dresses too. She made me realize how late I am when it comes to fashion. I’ve been satisfied with a shirt, jeans and a pair of flats or oxford. I have a number of skirts and dresses but I’m afraid a me wearing girly clothes isn’t really the picture my college friends are expecting. I’ve been the plain type, unlike high school. They believe I don’t even know how to flirt with a guy. Saint-like indeed, geez, am I that geeky already?

If you ask me, my worst year in high school was probably second year. I think about it now and out of all those things I’ve done I trust I love myself far better now. And whiskers, I can imagine how jeje I was back in the days. What I miss about high school is this, writing and blogging. That’s probably the first thing that Jenna and I have in common. Where are my soppy freshmen poems and my gazillion high school articles? I focused too much on numbers; I nearly forgot that letters were once my delights too. Once my connection’s back to normal, I look forward to writing and posting more stuff. Wish me luck!

PS: MTV doesn’t let me watch stream, hello, as fas I know I ain’t from Narnia. You can watch it here though.
