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's way of sabotage.
 The Cream of Tank Girl / the day I bleached my hair blonde for the second time /  Lulu at Greenbelt. 
 Powerplant Mall errands outfit /  Cupcakes by Sonjas / paparazzi shot of my sister
 Everyday Pop Art / crab cojones / Pippin Took, my cute stuffed banana. 
 New hologram favorites /  ice cream with my soul twin Gian / purple hair in the making.
 Bathroom shot with Bianca / preparing our bazaar displays / Circus' booths at the DFA Bazaar 
In which I realized that shooting in film is pretty gratifying / purple flowers for Mama's birthday
 Papa proves he can take pictures after all / outfit for the mall / wilting flowers
Outfit for more errands at the mall, Papa has photography skills 2.0, Louis goes for a ride. 
 Brick wall looked artsy that day / Christmas!  / pretty packaging gets me everytime. 
Furniture canvassing at The Fort / "Can I just live here already," / my face.

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. 

Sunny Laiya

This trip was anything but spontaneous. With four pets to bring (and having recently lost one), you can't really leave any room to chance. People always talk about the beauty of spontaneity and last-minute decisions but there is an under appreciated quality to the most carefully laid out plans. All too often, plans get lost and forgotten along the way so the ones that do make it past the variety of 'Let's Have Lunch Sometime' and 'Catch Up Soon' are pretty special. It's actually been a really long time since we went on vacation and it wasn't easy to decide on a place that had everything we needed. And so we kept calling, researching, asking friends and friends of friends -  the first question always being: Are pets allowed? Eventually we found this private little place in Laiya, but I guess you could say she found us.
