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. 



A lot of people don't like it when it rains because it's inconvenient, but a little rain is nice once in a while. It's a good break from the perpetual heat in Manila. Other than a decent government and an efficient transportation system (and more parks!), the one thing I wish the most for our country is cooler weather. I don't mean the cold, biting winters of New York or Korea but a bit like Hong Kong. They have a warm summer and a cool and cozy 15 degree winter. Sigh. Why can't we have nice things? :|

We had to take a portrait of a person in their environment for our activity in creative photography class so we snuck in the dance room hoping to find a ballerina rehearsing, but the room was empty. My first choice was a librarian, but we weren't allowed to take photos in the library. Silly me, I didn't think our books were top secret stuff. XD
Third choice was the Industrial Design department, because I love how gritty their workshop looks. Sadly, no students were around because it was a Friday. Fortunately, I found an employee of the ID Department (who is an ID graduate of the school) to photograph. He even obliged and used the machine for the photo. I'm an awkward turtle and didn't want to inconvenience anyone so I literally finished up in one minute.

This is the shot:

My creative photography and religion subjects are the only classes keeping me sane at the moment, because I like the professors. I have to drag myself to school sometimes, and during class I'm just itching to go home. I daydream about lying down and taking a nap, having merienda, and playing with the dogs. Is that weird? :/

long weekend

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

Growing Pains

By Tonichi
It's graduation season again and with people posting throwbacks left and right, I can't help but think about my own college graduation last year, and the (supposed) grand gate of adulthood that one passes thereafter.  So much has been said about reluctant adulthood and Generation Y constantly thinking that by their twenties, they'd know exactly what it was they wanted to do. Like we thought that age 21 was the promised land of Having Everything Figured Out.

I love Sundays. It's 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and it's quiet. No mailman at the door, no delivery truck, just the gentle hum of the blades of the electric fan as I try to take a nap. Only today, I can't.
