Skywalk extreme in Cebu. It feels so fun. I don't wanna go back to Manila yet.

post my ♥

my love for sticky notes.
So, can I be called a sticky-note-girl? No.

gifty gift

I love receiving gifts even if it's not my birthday or the gift giving season on December. Especially when it comes with a really cute presentation!!


And here's what's inside:


NO! It's not a bottle of wine.... guess guess guess... It's used for the rain. You know I love rain and especially the one who gave this to me. I'm not to tell!!!

Are you surprised that it's an umbrella?? :)

don't bother.

I hate it when people look into your eyes and tell you "you're beautiful".
They only look 'till skin deep.

I hate it when you tell someone that you're jealous and they answer back not to worry because you're prettier.
Please, it's more than just the beauty outside.

Gem's back!

Okay, I've been in a hiatus for over a year now. Actually, I have no plans or whatsoever to continue this blog. But due to an unseen circumstance, I know decided to continue.

Thanks to Chic! My photography classmate that turned out to be a very dear friend to me. We had the opportunity to bond again yesterday at the opening of the second branch of JuBytes computer shop of our another photo mate, Ate Ju!

She blogged about it too!

I'm officially back and blogging!

Hello world! :)

Analog Love

The art of photography. Amazing. Captivating. Expressive. Passion. Elusive. Abstract. A photograph is life distilled and preserved for eternity. A photograph conveys, in a way no words can.

One of the things that keep me busy this summer is my photography class. It wasn't planned at all. Dad just asked me if I am interested since I won't be doing anything sensible for my vacation. Curiosity is one factor why I said yes eagerly. Didn't it amaze you like it amazes me when you see photographs like so real, so well detailed, so captivating, so eloquent and all. That drives me. I am just a rookie with this field but I am thirsting to learn more and with that I hope I'll go beyond.


The photo above was taken on Saturday, my first exposure. The catch was we're only allowed to use analog cameras with 100 ISO films. That's a big twist knowing that in today's digital world where we are used to see our photos right after we click. Well, its just a matter of challenge.
I thought we're just shooting landscapes and nature but little did I know that we're taking portraiture instead. It was pretty tiring shooting 6 models under the scorching heat of the sun but it was undeniably fun and its so inspiring. One day... one day...

Boxing

"Jab... straight... jab... Okay six times! Jab.. straight.. jab.. straight.. jab.. straight.." Whooo! Today was the official start of my knockout workout, boxing sessions. It started with a warm-up exercise then the start of the show. I had my hands and wrists wrapped and lace up the gloves. My personal trainor assisted me with everything from the boxing punches to the foot work. In just 10 minutes I had my whole body sweating exceptionally. It's definitely one of the best exercise for you work all the muscles in your body. After one hour of an extreme workout, I also got a very pain relieving massage.

Above is the photo of the deserted boxing ring. It was 09:00pm when I had this snap shot just before we leave the place. It was a hella of an experience.
