long weekend

By Tonichi
When I was younger, my summers were spent in the backseat of the family Nissan with my mama blasting Billy Joel (greatest hits album on cassette, of course!) on the radio and my papa behind the wheel. My sisters and I used to swim way past pruny fingers and toes, during high noon, grumpily complaining when our parents would tell us to get out of the water.  I guess in a few ways, we've grown up a little bit because our road trips now aren't for coming back to the city seven shades darker, but for some good ol' R & R. :D



Our shih tzus Bella and Louis adore the beach. Especially Louis, as you can see... :))
Bella and Alex as Simba and Rafiki. Pretty sure dog owners everywhere do this as well. XD
While Bianca was taking a nap before our shoot, I took some test shots of our happy helper Margie. 
One does not simply eat just one Stik-O!
It was chilly so I brought around my wooly orange blanket. Of course, such a large piece of cloth shan't be wasted - so I turned it into a cape and ran around the beach, like the weirdo that I am. And in that moment, I swear I felt infinite. Hahaha! 

Hope you enjoyed the photos! It was a much needed, well-deserved break and I loved spending time with my family, like I always do. We're so clingy with each other it's craaazy.

Life in 4x4

By Tonichi
December so far has been messy - quite literally, as we've been doing a lot of spring (or winter?) cleaning at home. Being the huge sentimentalist that I am, you can imagine that letting go of old memorabilia - post it notes, movie tickets, and whathaveyou - would be like pulling teeth, but not this time. I'm of the belief that there ain't nothin' like the sound of a digital trash can being emptied out, so I just applied the cold ruthlessness in deleting files on my computer to real life. Quit with all the unnecessary nostalgia and attachment to clutter; it's the memories that count, at the end of the day.  Now that we're on the topic of memories and because I have no visuals to accompany this post, here's a dump of some of the photos I've posted on Instagram over the past few months.  When my family went to Calatagan / Pizza. Every single day.  Beef brisket noodles from Shi Lin (great now I'm hungry) / ice cream happiness / and Bianca...

Le Petit Prince

By
With the film adaptation of The Little Prince having recently come out, I wanted to share something I wrote about the book a while back. But first, a backstory:  A couple of months ago, one of my favorite writers,  Regina , was giving away the complete boxed set of Sandman by Neil Gaiman for her birthday to a reader (which turned out to be me. Holla at yo boy! Hahaha) Anyway, I read the first three Sandman graphic novels back in college, and instantly felt connected to the world of Dreams. But life got in the way, and I graduated before I could borrow the rest of the series from the school library. So when Regina posted on her blog that she was going to give away a complete set, who was I to say no to Lord Morpheus? All we had to do was answer: what book has changed your life? The question was simple enough, but not quite; she didn't ask for my favorite book. We often come across books, films, and songs that easily make it to our favorites list, but...

Rainy School Days

By Tonichi
I don't know what it is about school lately but every week's more dull than the last. Maybe I'm just exhausted from the everyday grind.
