At old quaint Fort San Pedro with Playful Kate

Last week, a new friend and I decided to up the ante on being "wannabes" and had a pseudo photo shoot at one of Cebu City's oldest and most beautiful structures. Yes, yes... I consider Fort San Pedro "beautiful". I love old crumbling structures. Sue me! :P 


Anyways, I actually got up around 6:45am to get ready that day. Me, who usually wakes up at around noon... sometimes even past that. Hahaha. But I didn't regret a thing that day... not one teeny tiny bit. I had fun and I finally got back to one of my old fave hobbies. I got to be a shutterbug again, albeit a still not so serious one. But hey, I never said I'd lose my silly side when I deign to call myself an adult. I promised myself a long time ago that I will always try to do the things that make me happy... so I'd be sure to be happy whenever I do anything. 
Capisce?! 


Enough with the "segues".


Here are some of the shots I got that day. 






Kate was such a sport. 






Here, I told her to try and look pissed about something. Then she exclaimed, "Pagdali kay init kaayo ang semento!"  Wahaha.






I even asked her to climb a tree! She was all for it. I was so ecstatic to have such a willing subject. :D


And the main purpose of this whole lovely enchilada...


Queen Mab... 
"She is the fairies' midwife, and she comes in shape no bigger than an agate stone on the forefinger of an alderman, Drawn with a team of little atomies athwart men's noses as they lie asleep."
                                                                  
                                                                         ~ Mercutio; William Shakespeare's Romeo and Juliet


I accede to the fact that this is obviously crude work. I've never been much of a "crop and paste" expert. This is actually my first attempt. But I like it, nonetheless. And yes, this is me patting myself on the back. :p


Happy clicking, lovely shutterbugs! :D

Getting sunburned in Daanbantayan

I went to this nice resort in Daanbantayan for a weekend trip last month. And no, this is not the island, this is still within the main island of Cebu. Ley and I took the bus. This is not the bus terminal. I took this at one of the pit stops. :P It's been so long since I took the public bus somewhere that I forgot you buy the ticket while the bus is already running, not before you board the bus. Yup, I was a bit of an ignoramus that day, or a really amnesiac person. Haha. Anyways, while we were on the bus, I fell asleep. And since I took the window seat, this  was what happened... And it hurt like the dickens!!! :(   But the place was lovely.  We arrived at the resort around noon.  The place was lovely and I couldn't stop taking pictures. :D ... even when the weather got a tad gloomy late that afternoon. When dusk came, I was excited to take some twilight shots, which are among my faves. The next day, Ley and I took more...

Prettily sliced apples, anyone?

A friend just came back from her recent Singapore trip. I was a tad jealous because I couldn't afford to go myself but she brought me something from the Merlion City that I couldn't resist grinning when I heard about it. It's a trinket I've been wanting to have ever since I spied one in IKEA SG a few months ago. Yup, I'm a collector of nonsensical--but cute--trinkets. I was whopping when she sent me a message that she was able to find me one. It's not actually the one from IKEA but it's lovely nonetheless. IMO, it's prettier than the one I saw. Haha.  And now I couldn't help but use it whenever I can, which would be every few hours--if I had any say about it. :P Danke schoen, Donabel schön! I simply adore it! :D

The Real Deal about Truth and Freedom

For the past few weeks, I have been fortunate enough to stick to the routine of reading a verse from the Bible every morning and reflecting on its message. It has been wonderfully enlightening, to say the least.  Last Wednesday, this was the verse that greeted me when I opened my Bible app...  If the son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed.   ~ John 8:36  To say that I was stunned is an understatement... but then, I shouldn't have been. Ever since I can remember, whenever I'm struggling with some ethical or moral dilemma, I always get an epiphany of the answer. In my youthful pride, I thought "Wow, I'm brilliant." Not knowing it was not actually me but God who was guiding me to the answers. It took me a while to realize this and thankfully when I became an adult, I did. This time was one of them. You see, I was struggling. Four months and still counting, my father and I have been forced to endure each other's company for weeks on end. Outsid...
