Romantic Bone

  I still blush whenever I receive  a sincere compliment. I still cry at weddings, and during a sad movie. My eyes still glisten whenever I see couples stroll… I still believe in it Love. Even if it does scare me. Nothing will move you as much and nothing will break you as bad…    


Dream chaser: In the bloom

It’s all coming into fruition now. Three years of wandering, aimless shooting and spread out efforts has led me into this zone. “We rarely meet someone by coincidence” Quick and seemingly random run-throughs have proven to be influential in opening doors for a vision I didn’t even know I had. “Every person you meet along the way is your teacher and your student. ”   LEARN.   I can feel the excitement in my pulse. … Read the rest


Mama’s Day

    I remember writing love letters to Mama back in the days when I was young enough to think it was cool, then I started getting lunch money for school so I could afford to save-up on ‘lil treats for her.  Finally I started working,  that’s when the real gifts started to come in. When were young, we have all the time to work on thoughtful presents like handmade cards and poetry, (which I … Read the rest


Sole-mate in Huaqiang, Shenzen

Shoe shopping is like dating, if it’s not love at first sight, it’s bound to be an awkward bumpy walk in the park. Some girls are smart enough to get  a more practical alternative to the ones that initially floored them. Not me. I fall head over heels each time—pun intended. And even if the trip has always left me for broke (or broken), I wouldn’t have it any other way. Speaking of which, I … Read the rest

It takes a while to decide, but you … Read the rest

Dangua flower market

As part of my efforts to widen my horizon, this lil happy feet decided to flower shop in Manila’s wholesaler avenue for fresh blooms, Dangua. Who better to tag along with me than my own best friend whose absentee boyfriend left her vulnerable to the invites of bored best friends (uhem) who thinks night time trips to exotic discount markets is soul-enriching? Poor lucky Francy Urrutia. So there we were, just two pretty lil missys … Read the rest


Tagaytay in half a day

“Concrete jungle where dreams are made of, there’s nothing you can do”., New York by Alicia Keys. Same thing could be sung of any city out there, and I’ve lived in several. There comes a point though when it just all gets a lil bit too much. Like now. I woke up crying again, not knowing why, how or when it began. All I know is that the climb up is starting to suffocate me. … Read the rest


Collide

You meet hundreds of people and none of them really get to you, and then you meet this one person, and your life is changed forever. That moment, it’s what we live for. It lasts until it’s gone.

You try until you quit… Or maybe change your mind. Still … Read the rest
