a random wandering


i just came from the beach. my first one for the summer. my second since i got back. sad.

it was a random beach trip composed mostly of people i didn't know but it was fun, nonetheless! at the very least i knew the owner of the house! haha. my body is aching so much from jetskiing though. i think i went too fast! also did some cliffdiving which is one of the highlights of Tali beach in Batangas. the weather was not as cooperative as we would have wanted it to be but it surely didn't stop us from having a good time! a much needed break from the city.

also got to drive to and from manila. there's something about long drives that calms me. as long as there is no traffic, i'll be your driver. :D sadly though, not enough pics were taken! the pic above is taken by chinette on our way back to manila from their car. the silver SantaFe of Chix in the picture was the one i drove.

i've been putting off updating here since nothing really is happening. i've been jobless for a month now. i've stopped looking for my next one until i have a set schedule. i hated declining that job for kish because i had other things pending. i also have this pending job to house sit in boracay which i probably will decline too. this week and next week should hopefully help me in my next move. also, i need a better thesis topic. or a good creative angle to approach the RH bill. maybe tourism, culture or environment? i really cant concentrate on working on it even though i really need to finish it as soon as possible.

help me win

to whoever comes across this blog, i apologize for this plug but do try to help me win by liking my photo on facebook. just click on this link and like it! thank you!


its of this photo from the Church of Gesu in Rome! i immediately thought of this photo when i read the theme of the contest is Extra Ordinary Angles.

as miguel, my friend from mexico puts it, the picture is ironic in the sense that you get the feeling that as a viewer of the photo, someone else is taking a photo of you while you are admiring the beauty of the ceiling. or something like that. you get what i mean right? or what he means. :) it's too early.

forget about the ones who don't


"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets,
so love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the ones who don't,
and believe that everything happens for a reason.
If you get a chance, take it.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said that it'd be easy,
they just promised it would be worth it."

eurowandering 2010


so obviously i have had this plan in my head for so long but never really got the chance to work on it until yesterday. it is rather vain and really just for my memory's sake so brace yourself for a lot of my face which i rarely post here. :)

i got the peg from christopher rehage, the man who planned to walk from beijing to germany. he didn't make it but he made was able to cover 4646km in one year! he took loads of photos and did this video. i thought it was a cool way to document the eurowandering i did.

Duomo di Milano





i saw these shots while fixing some albums and i don't think i ever posted them ever. these were from when Fran and I went to Milan to catch the last leg of the winter sale in mid-january. we decided to do things more cultural and went up the Milan Cathedral. the cathedral was just one of the best i have seen. i guess, it makes up for how fast and stressful life is in Milan. it works. i mean, i hated how dark and seemingly polluted(as compared to other italian cities) the city is but then you see this pink-ish glow from a distance, smack right in the middle of a huge piazza, the cathedral stands with all its pinnacles and spires pointing to the heavens and then you realize you've been staring at it for a while in awe. though there have been mixed reviews about it such as john ruskin's comment, the cathedral steals "from every style in the world: and every style spoiled," I still think it is grand and breathtaking.

on keeping in touch

my italian family:) during bene's laurea
im stupid with technology. i'd even prefer not having a celphone. remember those times when people were more patient? when one could wait for a while for the other person before texting right away, 'where are you? i'm here already.'

but i admit that there are priceless benefits that technology has given us. and skype is one of them!
i got to video call with a good friend in Italy last night. we got to catch up on how their group is doing.
non ho parlato con lei per tante mesi! anche abbiamo paralto in Italiano! il mio italiano e brutto ma lei ha capito. :)

it's good to keep in touch. last week, i messaged a lot of people i met during my travels and got to read updates from my friends from Europe, South America, America, Asia. :) also, it is a good way to go down memory lane.
