In Between Two Months

After what seemed like an eternity, I'm glad to be able to say that we're back. Sort of. I think. Well, the last post being dated more than a month ago, at least.

So, real life got in the way of things again. Since we live in the Philippines, our academic calendar starts at June and ends in March- meaning the last two months are extremely packed with stress, killer quizzes, deadlines, exams, and are just about as vital as all the first three quarters combined. With all the hustle and bustle, blogging had been the last thing on our minds-- but expect more posts to come as it's officially 

summer.

(finally)

it tastes just as sweet as cupcakes.

My last post had been about the High Street photoshoot, and I did mention a roll of undeveloped film I had. In it was a combination of all sorts of happenings since maybe January, and I got it developed last week.

Actually, just an update on my life, because it's totally interesting. After school ended, I hadn't had a single idle day, that is, until getting back from a family trip to Hong Kong, and it's because I got sick. And it wasn't even serious-sick. it was a really slight fever that diminished over the course of a few hours- except I still felt terribly unwell. I ended up having to cancel my piano lessons (which I felt sad about) and not going to kumon (which I was relieved about). Since feeling better around two days ago, I've been bumming around the house, watching bates motel (i watched four episodes today), and stalking vera farmiga's list of films. 

(like, I'm currently watching The Departed and typing this with the sad realization that i can't tell mark wahlberg and matt damon apart) 

Now without further ado, I present to you the photos. (including the Hong Kong photos hooray!)

Also, please check out my soundcloud. I recently had a collab with a friend, and we covered Paper Forest by Emmy the Great. My singing is quite pitchy tho, so I might fix that sometime when I'm not feeling lazy.
If you enjoyed it/want to hear more, you can follow me as we're planning on making another one very soon.

A Day in Baguio

This trip was rushed from start to end.

So it was initially supposed to be on a Friday, but things happened and now it's moved on a Wednesday, boohoo. I ended up skipping class for Baguio, where we spent approximately 16 hours in the car and 7 in Baguio (I'm cool.). Half of the trip was for work purposes, and the other half was just for sight seeing and doing whatever we wanted. Yeah! It wasn't as cold as I had expected either, even with the cold months.

Photos were taken with either a point and shoot camera or an iPhone 4S. No DSLR because it's broken and will probably stay broken (quietly cries).

I'd like to start of first with a bunch of
inside-the-car-photos-because-there-is-nothing-to-do-for-8-hours.

We went to Baguio to sell my grandparent's house. We were all deciding what to bring home and what to leave here, but my grandmother kept insisting that we bring everything home, because sayang (what a waste). In the end, more time to look around the house while they argue for me.

Hipstur shuts.

I swear, I'm not on the horse!

Uh, I feel like it's trying to tell something to me...

This is in Good Shepherd, where nuns make jams for the education of children.

Strawberry picking.

That's it! Sorry for the lack of updates recently. Everyone is just bombarded with school and other ideas.
