Bridgers All The Way

Here's a little something I'd most definitely want my batchmates, Bridge students, to read. I hope you guys don't get the wrong idea upon reading this. I hope everyone who reads this doesn't think of this as a bad thing or such. I do wish the best to everyone. Please feel free to comment and share your thoughts. Maybe PM me on Facebook, DM me on Twitter, add me up on Viber so we can talk?

Dear Bridge students,



What happened to us Bridge people? We used to live a happy life      being with our group of people meant everything before. We would always team up when it came to competing with other batches. What happened to that spirit, to that connection we all seemed to have? What happened to being batchmates?


The fact that all of us are breaking apart only saddens me all the more. Plus, I believe that not one should purely be blamed for all things cuz this is high school. We all make mistakes.

Sure, high school may be hard and challenging at times, but respect is all that we seek here. Honestly speaking, we all wouldn't be like this if it weren't for the administration of the school.

We wouldn't be die-hard academic ninjas with not much of a social life if it weren't for the school. We wouldn't be popular jocks or school queens if it weren't for the school. We would never have been batchmates for no reason if it weren't for the school. We would have such different lives right now if we didn't study here.

Regulars, I know it gets annoying that teachers compare you people to the intensive peeps like us. Well, I believe they mean well. I think it's just their way of telling you guys to look at us and consider us as role models and do good in your studies. Teachers wouldn't want their students to fail cuz it hurts as a mentor to see how your effort is put to waste, how you're supposed to do only one job and fail so badly.

Teachers, adjusting as to the IQ levels of students may get annoying at times especially when you get used to a certain brain-sided kind of people. But that's okay. I understand.

Intensive kids, I can't exactly say that laughing is wrong. I mean, laughing makes us one. If others can't see that, well... They won't and never will understand.

For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction. Teachers defend their case. Regulars defend their people. Intensives side with their own group of people. But when you look at it, it is we ourselves who is raging this war. And this is because we refuse to listen, to understand. We refuse to change our point of view and try to see what other people see.

Sometimes, when we say something, others may not understand. Others get confused by this and ask how others cannot understand a thing as simple as this. But it may be something that is hard for them to understand. Not all are inclined to the things we find interesting and fun. Others may have a totally different understanding as to what we say. Others will have that special something that we won't seem to have and that makes up our individuality. You see, no matter how you look at it, no two are exactly the same.

We don't like seeing the bigger picture because what we think we are doing is right. We begin to forget why we are all here. We forget that undeniable reason as to why we all met. So why don't we use this opportunity to ponder what our lives would be without the people we knew to have been and are still our friends. 

Don't you guys see that this is what breaks all of us? I mean, I'm positive that deep inside, we all care. Once we see devastations life brings, we feel something. We don't seem affected; life continues to go on.

It's like the recent typhoon Haiyan, leaving thousands maimed and scarred for life. And this shouldn't be a reason to blame the government on their shortcomings. This should be giving us an even bigger reason to work as one! We are growing to distanct with each other.

People think of different things when girls like me hang out with boys. So why is this? Why do girls have to be so bog-allergic and boys be an anti-girls association? Either way it's because we refuse to talk and listen to the opposite gender. We refuse to understand. And this eventually shows us all how selfish beings people are.

This should be our year. We'll be the first and last batch to be considered 'Bridge'. People won't even call us 'Originals'. But that's what makes us different. This is our year! Shouldn't we be making the most of it? As a whole? I don't mind if you guys won't read this nor would you understand. I understand that our generation isn't one of "long-handed" letters. So much has changed us and we don't even see that. We must move. As. As a whole. As a network. As a group. And always as a team.

Thank you all because life as I know it now will never EVER be the same without you.

Your favorite blogger and photographer,
(Not)

Prismatic Hope

I went to school today feeling more groggy than ever, and so I almost fell asleep whilst seated in the car.

Fast forward to the first period - Math class. I saw something outside the windows and requested for the blinds to be brought up even for a brief amount of time. My classmates must've gotten the hint and everyone's eyes made their way to the windows. Everyone stopped solving and doing whatever they were doing and used minimal amount of time to admire the beauty of the view we saw.

Seeing rainbows is definitely an awe inspiring sight for me. I don't know if it's just me, but rainbows help me think better sometimes. And they seem to come up almost everytime I need one. And for some unknown reason, upon seeing a rainbow today, it gave me hope. I'm not exactly sure as to what that hope was for but it was real and there's not denying that I really felt.

Til' next time!

Be Selfish Not

Heeeeey! Happy Sunday everyone! :))

And so, having to wake up early is still a bummer. However, church was nice. :)

Something happened, something that I'll most definitely never forget. An elder sister approached me today on the first floor of our church asking me if I was to attend the assembly. Of course, I smiled and said yes. She invited me to attend the assembly. She invited ME to go up with HER.

I told her that I was waiting for my mom to come and so she waited with me. All the while I was thinking why she wouldn't go away, why I - of all people - had to go with her. Now, I probably sound like some random brat out there in the big world we all live in right now, but that's not the point!

We waited; my mom came. We all went up in the elevator, and she went in ahead of us, while I called my sister and friend to go down and sit with me. As the 3 of us youngsters went in the assembly hall, getting seated, I see her sitting a row in front of us.

After singing a couple of songs, we all get seated and wait for the message. While, I, on the other hand, could only think of one thing: "How much more selfish could I be?"  Why didn't I see that she just wanted someone to accompany her, someone to just be there for her? How could I not have seen in her eyes that she just needed a person to stay with her? What kind of Christian does this make me not helping the church? And this bothers me so much to the point of having to blog about it.

I've never been a fan of seeing old people walk in the streets with no one with them, yet how come I myself didn't do anything when it was already her who approached me. You know what guys, it's so easy to be bad. It's so easy to be selfish. Our innards are filled with impurities. But what can we get from being bad? Would brief happiness bring forth something good later on? Definitely not.

This experience has surely been an eye opener for me and one that I'll never forget. We are blinded with the evil that surrounds us, so why not move? Why not open our eyes to see the reality, the ugly sad truth of the world we live in right now? Why not try to make a difference rather than do nothing at all? We see things and want to change them, but do we act? I hope we can all learn from my experience and consider these questions every now and then.

If you liked this story, I hope you do share it to your friends, family, people you know at school or work, etc. so others can read about it too. As always, feel free to comment your thoughts down below, and I'll see you next time! Baiiiii! :))

XOXO

Love Love Love

First of all, it has been another club day and today, our club session was oh-so wonderful. Like I don't even know where to begin! Oh my freaking goodness.

Second, if you've been reading my blog for some time now, you'll probably see how much I treasure experiences and memories. This is because through growing up, I learn to observe more than talk. I'm one of those silent people yet I'm really talkative once I get comfortable with you.

And so, Mrs. Patty Laurel-Filart joins Bloggers' Hub as a guest speaker and shares about Blog Lovin' 101. Knowing that we would be having a professional blogger invited over to school, I was simply ecstatic. I can say that I'm one of those people who like meeting famous people; however, I'm not one to take pictures with them. Which I can say is a first considering that I did take a picture with Ms. Patty. You'll be able to see the picture later on "somewhere" in the post. :) Things that I'll be citing are not fully mine and so I give credits to Miss Patty for her wonderful speaking skills. ;) Haha.

I've had loads and loads of fun listening to Miss Patty speak and I've definitely learned a lot too. This club day will probably be my most unforgettable club day experience EVAAAAAAAAAAAH!

The one thing that I won't forget about learning this day that people learn best, when they learn to love first. I specially agree with Ms. Patty when she said that blogging isn't just an online diary or a public journal, but it's something more - considering that a blog is public and it works as 5 different things too.

Being a great blogger starts with loving to blog. Bloggers should make blogging a happy outlet. Something that would push bloggers to think of happy thoughts even in those times wherein we think that the world is ending.

Have fun with it and don't be too stressed. Blogging should not be a reason to add stress and problems into our lives with all the deadlines and things that we bloggers have yet to say. Having fun in writing is the best way to let our voices be heard.

Get into the water. Miss Patty has correlated that blogging is like pre-swimming. We wouldn't know if that water is cold or not if we don't get in. She thinks that we should try it out first, and then say what things to do next.

SPOT ME! :D
 Miss Patty also says that collages should be self explanatory.

Yes, that's me in the pink jacket that isn't mine. Lol. And that folks is my serious face. No hate please. 
Groupie 1 :D
Aaaaand Groupie 2 :)))


Would you look at that pretty face of hers? (I know I look like crap. Don't judge. Lol) I'm not too late for a Hashtag GirlCrushWednesday am I? :D Hahaha. Hi Ms. Patty! If you're reading this right now, I just want to say, "Next time, pag mag tip toe, wag pahalata ha." HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. Peace ma'am! You know I love you! :))

I think it's absolutely a big responsibility and a blessing to be given a chance to reach out and inspire people through writing. Bloggers are given an actual voice in society - one that can be used to help in becoming agents of change due to the power in our words. In addition, great things come with blogging like we get to document exciting things and share it to others who think likewise; we discover new things; we learn; we love. 

I seriously don't know what took me so long but Mrs. Patty Laurel-Filart's blog will definitely be added to my reading list and I think you guys should too. :D

Til' next time!
XOXO

Hidden Blessings


I wanted to start the post with the picture above and let you guys guess what it is. Comment your answers below! ✌

This week has not only been pretty hectic for me but most probably for you guys too. I'm currently sick and so I decided to do another blog post! Yay! :) You might think Hidden Blessings would talk about me being a religious person but I'm simply gonna spend my time in being thankful, and so, here are some of the little things I've learned to be thankful for this month. Enjoy! :D

1. Creativity
The picture above is of our bulletin board at school, which took DAYS of work and rushing. It came out really nice though. Although this is like 1/3 of the board only, I want to give my thanks to EVERYONE who helped make this cute thing of a board possible. Yaay~!

2. Lights
I'll never be able to imagine how I would live without lights. I mean, with complete darkness and all, yikes. I can hardly even see without my glasses and that's already with all the lights on. Woah. I actually got this shot inside the car and well, I couldn't keep my hands straight, unmoving and so, I adjusted the focus, it came out like this, and I just love the outcome. 

3. Jackets and Selfies
Jackets and Selfies. The picture says it all. These are actually jackets borrowed from classmates at school. Lol. It was cold! I couldn't help it. Teehee.

4. Sports
This is my favourite shot, as some of you may have already seen in my Unity Before Honor post. Sports don't only provide entertainment for athletes and sports fanatics. Even I have fun while watching games. AND I'M NOT A SPORTY ONE. Yea.....

5. Little Things
The littlest things go unnoticed and I think it's kind of my job as a photographer to make them SEEN AND NOTICED. Some people don't see beauty just because they don't look up. :) This picture holds so much emotion and I'll leave it to you guys to interpret the shot. ;)

6. Music
I've been playing the piano since I was little. I guess I can say that I've probably gotten attached to it too. I mean, to be able to make music - isn't that amazing? Well, to me it is. To be able to play something or create a composition and give joy to people makes me happy at the same time as playing it.

7. Stories
We all have that ONE story, that ONE secret we don't seem to want others to know. However, there's also that STORY that needs to be told, that one STORY that needs to be shared to the people, to the world. I'm thankful for so many stories that has helped me think the way I do and speak the way I do.

8. Goofiness
I love people whom I can be goofy with. I mean, that way there's nothing I have yet to be ashamed of. I'm probably like really shy and all, but then if I like you and we're actually close, BAM GOOFY! Lol. Anyways, I want to thank all those goofy goofballs who read my blog. I do hope you guys won't be shy to comment stuff. Mwehehe :3

P.S.: Some of the pictures are old, but then I really wanted to include them so yea. :)) All are my shots so do give credit or contact me if you want them! :D

Til' next time!

Unity Before Honor

Okay! So I'll be keeping this blog post really really short considering that a lot (and I mean A LOT) of pictures will be included here.

However, first of all, if you happen to be a player or a person in one of these shots, and want to have a copy of the picture, please do text me or PM me on Facebook or DM me on Twitter. THANKS!

Unity Before Honor features my attempts to do sports photography, which I'm probably not very good at, just so you know. Please don't laugh if ever you see faces which don't really appeal to you guys. Those are their game faces and I love game faces, so no hate please. Without further ado, Unity Before Honor.






I apologize for having to put the pictures above in collages. There wasn't enough space to fit all of 'em. Anyways, I can assure you guys that the next shots are what you've been waiting for! I probably seem biased with the shots I've taken, so yea. I'm sorry.

 
Mixed emotions. asdfghjkl
My fave shot :>

 




I know this came out more of a creative shot than a sports shot...



Another one of my faves! :)






Til' next time! XOXO Jess

Switch and Save

Switch and Save features my visit in another club due to an activity with my club now, which is Bloggers' Hub.

Well, the highlight of today must be having been given the opportunity to sit-in on another club - Snapshots. In addition to that being my former club, I'm quite happy that I've been assigned there considering that I already have a background on the club. After all, I was - according to Ms. Mergie Bañes - her best member who had the best interpretation and compositions on her shots.

Having been able to sit-in in the club is actually a great deal 'cause I remember missing those times when we'd all go out of the class and take shots. The club session starting with groups presenting their shots to the club. Then, proceeding to a short discussion on Action shooting. 

The groups were given a pack of bubble makers and flashlights to help compose their shots. I've sort of joined, well let's say, intruded on their group. I can't exactly say that I was able to help Group 4 with their shots but then I hope I've given them ideas to create good and creative shots for next activities...

This shot was taken by me, and well, I actually planned for good lighting but then it came out like this and I'm surprisingly happy with the outcome. :)

Here's a picture of Stephanie Lim, the model of group 4. Click on the photo to get to her blog and catch up on fashion takes and ideas every week! :)

She shares a blog with Danielle Yap, who is determined to capture a shot of a bubble, and Jazmin San Juan. Do make sure to check out their blog and follow! :D


Having been able to sit-in, I've learned way more about composing my shots. Not to mention, I also know a lot of people here and I'm glad of that. I got to widen my circle of friends, or rather, aquaintances but I do hope that I'd get to see more of them and become great friends with them as well. I will most definitely never forget this experience!

I miss being in Snapshots and I'm honored to be introduced by my former club moderator as her best photograher-student.

Ask Jessy? Ask Jessy.

As promised in my Dascolly Awkward post, I'll be answering the questions you guys've asked on my Ask.fm profile! Yaaaaaaay! :D

Although I don't see a lot of questions on my ask.fm profile, I'm still happy you guys decided to send in your questions. I want to say thanks for doing so. :)

Q: What is life to you? :)
A: Life, for me, is living every second of everyday with good or bad decisions without any regrets. (Thank you JP for asking :)) I suggest you guys visit his blog to see some weirdly interesting stuff going on.)

Q: Define beauty
A: Anything that the beast is attracted to ;)

Q: Has the special someone come into your life yet? Rey de Guzman
A: I don't think so. Well, properly speaking, I have not yet met that special someone. :)

Q: What do you usually do when you have a lot of problems?
A: Uhm, I probably keep them all bottled up inside of me. Then, I let it out when I can't take it anymore. I cry and then pretend that nothing in the world is wrong. But then again, I guess its just me. So yea...

Q: Which is the best book you have read so far?
A: The last GOOD book I remember reading was during summer time here in the Philippines. If I'm not mistaken, it's entitled Prom and Prejudice by Elizabeth Eulberg. :)

Q: Would you care for a dance?
A: What kind of dance? HAHAHA. Let's see :))

Q: What lesson/s can people learn from animals?
A: People learn how to get attached and how to love. They get a feel of true friendship. They learn about loyalty. They learn that 'no one gets left behind'. I believe animals teach us to learn how to be weird, be different, and if possible, BE CUTE! :D

That concludes my Ask Jessy bit thingy and I hope you guys'll keep sending in questions to me! You can reach me by clicking on the 'Connect' page up there! :) See you guys in the next post!

'Til next time,
Love lots

Dascolly Awkward


So... This is me.. Around 3 years ago... Weeeeell, this photo was taken during Christmas in 2010. I know, I know.. I am perfectly aware that I look odd in the picture above, so if you'd do me the favor by not clicking on the photo, I'd forever be grateful for that.

As the title says, 'Dascolly AWKWARD' talks about my awkward years. Just in case you don't know what dascolly is, it actually means nothing. Like seriously; nothing's special with the "adverb" dascolly. A classmate of mine named Edric just made it up after our English teacher's surname  Ms. Dasco.

I just read about the Awkward Years project by Merilee Allred and thought that I could do one too. However, I wasn't able to find a hard copy of an awkward photo and take a shot of it with my present self. And so, I end up with a soft copy of what you can see at the top of the post.

I used to be extremely boyish that at one point of my life; I wore baggy t-shirts or polo's with shorts. I wore pants a lot and didn't want to be bought any of those frilly, ruffle-y, pink dresses and blouses. I still remember telling my mom that when she'd buy clothes for me, it had to be a tee. If it wasn't a tee, I wouldn't like it at all  not one bit, not at all. I didn't give the slightest attention to what and how I looked like. I always went with "as long as it's comfy, you're good to go". I thought like a dude most of the time too. I didn't fix my hair, or I'd do a low pony tail for my hair like those rock star dudes with long hair used to do.

Honestly, I didn't exactly want to show anyone this picture, but I did and I'm proud of myself. (Lol) Looking back at how I used to look like, I can say that I've learned and changed a lot  from someone who didn't know the least bit about looking good to one that actually tries to look decent.

I actually have a lot more awkward and embarrassing moments, but these things? They've made me a lot better now and that's just who I am. I've learned to accept these things and try to improve not only for myself but also for the people around me.

Look. We all used to be awkward once and that's perfectly fine 'cause that makes us even better right now. I guess we should just try to improve ourselves instead of regretting those times and things that we've done wrong.

I guess that's it and I'll be leaving you with a short announcement! Yay me! Hahaha! See you guys in the next post! Thanks for reading! :)
P.S!
I'll be having this Ask Jessy bit and all you have to do is to click on the photo of me at the side and ask away! :D Get the chance for your question to be featured on my next blog post given that I like it. :)) Yaaaaay!

Vantage.


The shot above was one I took for Snapshots — the club I was in last year. I saw dried leaves and immediately thought of choosing them as my subject for the mini-shoot. I was always captivated with leaves. I mean I grew up with a big tree just outside the house and can't help but to get attached to it. I'd observe those times when its leaves would give off an inspiring green color, and those when branches would be left bare and dry, brown leaves are scattered all over the ground.

I experimented with angles and positions yet I still wasn't satisfied with the outcome of my shots. A sudden pang of creativity hit me and I stood there stunned with the brilliant idea that crossed my mind. I crouched down placing my camera on the floor and took a shot. I loved how the shot came out. I think there's this melancholic vibe into it and it gives off so much drama. (Lol.)

Anyhoo, I think the caption I did for this shot fits the blog really well. Life's About This And That features my adventures, things happening in my life, memories of such days, and well.. other things. I wanted to keep the blog URL real simple so I used my name. I did this cuz didn't want to get too involved in writing what people want to read. I wanted to retain my usual weird, bubbly self under the cold shell.

I guess it's just a matter of perspective. Some will look up to you, and some would also try to bring you down. However, when you actually think about it, there will always be a positive in the negative side of things. So keep on going on and live life to the fullest! 

Til' next time!

My Simply Desires Bucket list

I believe it's not only me who thinks of doing things - at least before they die. Some may have written those things as a list of some sort? Maybe. ;) Some may even be kept in a diary or a journal. Some call it their wishlist too.

The title for this post probably gives off the main topic, so I won't be elaborating on that. I think you peeps already know what a bucket list is. :) If you don't, Google it! Kidding. It's usually a bunch of things you want to do in your life. Well, something like that, however I also believe that bucket lists can mean something else. That depends on the person who's writing it. :D

I will listing some of the things I'd love to happen in my life. Some are merely wishes. Don't judge me. I'm also a person. :P Please read? Hope you enjoy! :))

NOTE: Things listed below are not in order.

1. Go on a cruise.
2. Get an iPhone.
3. Have the perfect iPhone &/or iTouch cases.
4. See a concert.
5. Go to a drive in movie.
6. Dance in the rain.
7. Have a Disney movie marathon.
8. Go on vacation with my bestfriend.
9. Go on a midnight picnic.
10. See a retro van.
11. Make cotton candy.
12. Get free things from random shops.
13. Try out all Skittle flavors.
14. Look good in sunglasses.
15. Have a paint fight.
16. Try eating Maoams.
17. Go to the City of Love.
18. Write a good story that'll become a movie someday.
19. Go to a book fair.
20. Throw a dart at a map and go to wherever it lands.
21. Become a YouTube sensation.
22. Finally learn how to sight read.
23. Learn how to figure skate.
24. Become a successful photographer.
25. Attend a masquerade ball.
26. Cover my arms with bracelets.
27. Be confident in myself.
28. Become closer to God.
29. Have a road trip with my friends.
30. See a shooting star for the first time.
31. Try eating smores.
32. Go camping with my friends.
33. Travel the world.
34. Take a long walk at the beach when it's not hot.
35. Get breakfast in bed.

If you've reached until here without getting bored, that'd make me real happy.

Watching a movie? Uh.. I don't think so..

Hi guys! I'm back! :D

Ok! Today I was supposed to watch The Big Wedding with my sister, Grana, and cousins. We were all at the mall waiting for our tickets to be accepted when the lady asked my sister how old she was. She replied saying she was 12 and then the lady went on blabbering on how she isn't allowed to watch due to the movie being rated as R-13.

So, instead of watching the movie, I talked to my cousins saying that I'd rather walk around than watch. It's a good thing that they allowed us two to be alone. :)


We spent about an hour at National Bookstore. Hahahaha. I was looking through books until my legs were exhausted to me and my sis sat down on the floor for a while. Just when we were getting comfortable, this lady guard approaches us saying that we aren't allowed to sit on the floor! Geez! I wasn't even sitting for 5 minutes! I hated that lady. -_- Lol

Then, I decided to let my sister browse through what she wanted to look at at the accessories station because she stayed long enough with me. We spent the next 30 minutes looking through necklaces, shades, pins, when I came across this really nice boho headpiece which I wanted to buy. It cost 75 PHP if I'm not mistaken but I didn't want to use the money given to us because they weren't mine.

We ended up getting nothing, watching nothing, and having tired legs. Lol. But, I did have a bit fun. I'm incredibly thankful to God for letting me have this opportunity to bond with my sister. I mean, we didn't even fight! Like, wow! XD

CONNECT WITH ME! :D

This might seem highly useless, but I really do want to connect with you guys. Some may be subscribed to my feed, some may not. Most of you might not even want to bother clicking on the widgets on the side. Soooooo.... I will be listing my other profiles wherein most of you can maybe see more from me. Yaaay! :))

WARNING: I may have a lot of accounts. LOL. Kidding.

Although, I may not seem to be online, I do use these accounts. I wouldn't be sharing them if I didn't. I don't post as much, because that depends on my time and mood. So please don't be mad at me. Send me messages, ok. I will reply to you. BUT. If ever you do talk about things that are inappropriate or mean things and such, I won't be answering. Keep that in mind. I know I kinda sound mean, however, I believe things would be better that way.

Road trips! And probably a little more. :)

Travelling to places has always been fun for me. There could be things you don't see everyday. Unique infrastructures and/or green sceneries plastered all around are the usual reasons people go to places. I guess that applies for me too, however, I also do like learning more about the place.

Travelling, in a vehicle, that takes up more time than usual, I consider that a road trip. Road trips can be ridiculously fun once the mood is set up - meaning, no tension among the people inside the vehicle, no conflicts are found between each other, everyone can either have peace or talk together and do stuff together for fun, and many more. I'll leave the rest for you guys to interpret. ;)

I've had two road trips recently last week and today.

Last week, was due to an appointment to my dentist's clinic with my sister. The trip going to the clinic was exceptionally peaceful and careful, as to me being quiet and thinking of what to say. For the first time in my life, I've learned to admire lightning. It's usually those blink-and-miss-it moments, and I find that truly amazing.

Today was much more productive. I've left the house to have gone to Tagaytay at 8 A.M. and got home at around 4:20 P.M. Breakfast was a bit heavy, but nonetheless really good. :)

I also got to feed fish today at Solenad? I'm not quite sure of the place. I seem to have forgotten alredy, forgive me. A pack of fish food costs 50PHP, which I think is quite pricey for a small pack full of small pellets. I pity the fish though. They seem like they haven't eaten anything; they really fight for food. The fish were too much, looking at them can be a little disgusting now. LOL

Anyways, I didn't enjoy much today but it was still fun. I believe that everything has its pros and cons, making them memorable and useful, I guess, at the same time.

NOTE: Pictures below are taken by me. They aren't much though. I didn't like the other shots. :D

I caught sight of the word on the brick and thought of taking a shot. I was bored. XD
Saw this Ferris wheel on the way to the Taal Vista Hotel. I love the scene. I think it describes a dream of some sort. :D Don't mind the thing on the lower right. I took that shot in a car. Hahaha. 

I like how I post-producted this shot. I think the picture holds so much drama.

I apologize for my eye. And I am aware that I look horrible here. Forgive my sister. She decided to lean over to see the view more at the time I was taking a selfie. XD 
Outfit of the day and of the night! :)

I saw this Porsche while walking and stopped dead on my tracks. It's so mesmerizing! Ugh. 

Til next time,
Jess! :D

Highlights of the Night

The main thing that I've done today was eating out with my family. Why, it's because of my cousin's birthday.


We went to Manila Hotel to do so. Highlights of the night simply features things that got my attention this evening. I apologize for some of the photos. They aren't super clear, I only used an iPad Mini to capture them, so bear with me on that. 

Let's get started then! :D


First of, I like how the logo was designed. I guess that's because personally, I ain't a very creative person myself.
I like how the light from the candle at the back generates a soft glow. :)
The diminutive water droplets just caught my attention too much. Lol.


Cutie patootie plants :D
Shadow!
<3 the glass on the table.
The piano has been a large thing to me, as to playing it since I
was little. The man playing the piano was really good. I hope to
play like him one day and make loads of people happy. :D



The bubbles from the Jacuzzi just left me mesmerized. They
were hard to capture cuz they were moving. I finished the
shot with the frame of erupting water. :D 

The two paintings that rendered me speechless. :)
Sorry peeps. This post must've been boring. Well, I was bored awhile ago too. Please comment below on what kind of stuff you want to be reading so that I'll know what to blog about next time. Luv ya guys!

Til next time,
Jess xoxo
