Rainy School Days

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? :/

Life in 4x4

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...

It's Cold Outside

Here's a visual diary of our most recent trip to Hong Kong.
