so i have been hooked on vimeo for the past few weeks. there's just too much good stuff in there like these three short films by Rick Mereki. with a length of only a minute these video shows a trip of a life time in three different themes: learning, eating, and moving.
made by 3 men within 44 days with 18 flights to 11 countries! darn, im so envious right now; i just want to travel the world. there's just a lot of beautiful things out there that i'm missing out on, really.
but first, i have to travel within the country. >:)
well these videos really feed my thirst for travel. now, i need to find a job that will send me packing for flights going to different countries. I HAVE TO.
i always have this "thing" for trees. i love trees. i've cried for one when i was about 8 or 9 yrs old. it was one beautiful fire tree and it broke my heart when i saw it being jigsawed by two heartless men. :( but they weren't really heartless, i just thought there were at that time. oh well.
and again my addiction on taking photos of my feet :D im lovin' it.
instagram. i've had this app for a long time now but was able to start using it just yesterday :| now im more driven to take photos because of this; i can cheat and make my crappy photos look good. [haha] well, the feel of using dslr in photography is still different. waay to different than this. but i don't have one, so i'll just settle for my sister's point and shoot and my phone for now. FOR NOW.
went to the beach early this morning. we left around 6:30 am. . . i told them yesterday that it's been awhile since we went to the beach and so my sister said that we'll go today :3 and we did! yay!
the sun was so bright but the wind was still cold. the camera wont take a good photo of the beach. because of so much brightness, the photo would turn out white. :|
THE WATER WAS SO COLD. I've had second thoughts on swimming yet the water was so inviting. so i took the plunge. :D there were very few people on the beach, though. i think there were just about 10 people on the water, including me, my sister, and my cousin.
we found three different star fish :D
there's another photo of my feet and one of my face which is being eaten by the sun. i like it on the beach but i only got into the water for a few minutes and just kept walking along the shore after. we just stayed there for about an hour or more and then went home :)
08.10.2011. Palawan. On the way to the underground river <3 with my over used slippers :)
12.19.2011. Ayala Terraces. Baaab Christmas Partey :D an Awesome day with Awesome people.

05.03.2011. Cebu. this was along northern Cebu, i just couldn't really remember where this was :( im standing on a huge rock covered with. . . im not really sure if that's an algae. but it was really slippery.
05.03.2011. Northern Cebu. i like it there. this was along the beach and the water was really good and i love the pebbles <3 my back hurts after picking some up. haha. but we weren't there to swim. my sister and i went with my brother for their pre-nup shoot to enjoy some road trip.
11.18.2011. at school. outside room 229 where the floor looks like an artwork in itself :)
05.03.2011. at Parian Ancestral House. the place was really nice. that nostalgic feeling in the smell of old things.
04.19.2011. at home. that time when you wanted to take a photo of yourself yet the camera wont take a good photo of it or was it because of your bad hair day or maybe you just really look ugly that day so you just take photos of whatever instead. :D
07.09.2011. Alcoy, Cebu. FASO acquaintance partey. the beach was really lovely <3
15.03.2011. Borbon, Cebu.
i was trying to clean my computer so i decided to clear some photos that were blurry and unnecessary and i was able to stumble upon the photos of my feet again and i thought of making a post about them. . . again. so here's the top 10 photos of my feet in the year that was :D
gaahH. i really love her. haaay. im currently listening to this while studying. [sort of studying.] haha. long exam tomorrow and its just me and jasmine tonight <3 jasmine is my tea. thanks to Athena, i met her :) i mean my tea.
01.04.2012 :D ate lunch at jollibee, walked around ayala, talked, laughed, ate kruffins for dessert. :D
hayyy, wasn't able to take a photo of caryl coz she had to leave early coz she still haz clazz. O_O sorry keh. hahaha. my photos of the kruffins was really bad, it didn't gave justice to how good it was so i didn't post it. [he-he] and a friend gave me two cans of lays stacks for there were no ruffles available. today was really fun :)
I've been listening to Coldplay since forever. I love them and their songs. Speed of Sound will always be my favorite. but this video of them is just awesome :) the song is still. . . lovely. AND the elephant on a unicycle is just so adorable <3
the last post was all about what i am thankful for in the year that was. it took me so long to finally make this second post. anyway, there were a few highlights in 2011 that i wasn't able to share. there was. . .
my brother's wedding. yes. now we have an additional sister and an extended family :)
i am no longer a teenager. yes. im 20 and i've been in this world for 2 decades now :D
and. . . my first heartbreak. it was, somehow, a bit self inflicted though.
so now, there's a few things i need to improve on myself. i will try to be a better me than i was.
so this 2012. i want to. . .
GAIN SOME WEIGHT. yeah. i really want to gain some weight. i need to EAT MORE, MORE, and MORE.
WORRY LESS AND HAVE FUN. i need to stop worrying over really small stuffs and start enjoying life. i don't really have fun to the "highest level" because i worry and i have this "what if's" in mind. I should minimize that and start LIVING.
LISTEN TO MUSIC. for there is always music despite everything. even if your world crashes. the radio will still sing you a song. especially the songs YOU DONT WANT TO LISTEN TO. HAHAHA. anyway, music has been always one of my greatest way to escape reality.
READ MORE. yes. i need to read more. i have found my love for fiction now. and i will have my list of the books i want to read. :D im happy that i have found interest in reading for i didn't have any for it since i got into college. he he. i wish people gave me books when i was still younger than i am now.
i wanted to do the project 365. one photo a day. but errr. i don't have my own camera. but i will try. I WILL. i love taking photos as much as i like talking. haha. its like immortalizing a memory. you can always look back on it and remember. :)
TAKE A BREAK AND TRAVEL. after graduation i will really take some break. even if it's just in Tagaytay. I WILL TAKE IT. haha. i am really looking forward to travel abroad with my family this summer. i am still not sure where but i hope we really could. it will be my first trip out of the country. if ever. and if by July 2012, i still don't have a job here. I WILL TAKE A RISK in SINGAPORE :D
TRY NEW THINGS. i would really love to try and learn something new this year. like own and learn how to play a ukelele :D or learn how to drive. or own a puppy, if only it doesn't grow T.T. or go to manila on my own. haaay. if only my parents would allow. Zzz. . .
i am always scared to make mistakes. but because i'm scared, i make mistakes. haha. ow the irony of it all. the thing about mistakes is that you learn. you will always learn from it. always. unless your stupid or in denial of your mistake. only then will you not learn. and the thing about not accepting or admitting mistakes. . . is that you can never move on. neverrrr.
SPEND TIME WITH THOSE WHO REALLY MATTER. of course there's my family and my friends. but there is someone i would really love to spend my time with; that is. . . MYSELF. yesss. one thing that i learned from 2011 is that its important to spend time alone. even if you just stare at an empty space. haha. it makes you think and reflect about certain things. it makes you know yourself better.
i guess that's it. but one things for sure. EVERYTHING'S GOING TO BE OK. maybe not to today or tomorrow, or the day after tomorrow. but eventually. if its not ok, then it's not yet over. i have my hopes up for 2012.
and so i sign off with this song by The Naked and Famous, Young Blood because im young and lovin' it. its a really nice song to end this nice post :D haha.
i have been thinking about a lot of things lately. my life was always been a life of mere existence. living each day as if flowing together with the wind. it was just in November that i really decided to live my life [sort of]. i took one of the biggest and hardest step ever. it was one heart breaking, brain draining and life changing decision i have made so far. and now, all i know is that the only long term relationship i am guaranteed of is. . . what i have with myself. HAHA.
Quoted: "there are far better things ahead than any we leave behind." and i am really looking forward for what 2012 has to offer. i just hope it doesn't get the best of me. haha. anyway, in 2011, i was thankful for. . .
my family. because they're always there. ALWAYS :)
these AWESOME PEOPLE. because they've made 2011 AWESOME.
COFFEE. for being with me through cramming days and sleepless nights :)
these guys. who always take my breath away with laughter :D
THE NATIONAL. because of their awesome music. love :">
and Internet. YES. because you've been always awesome.
AND for people who have been with me as companions. for those who made me laugh and smile. for those who made my day. for those who ruined it. duh. for those who made me cry. for those who loved me. for those who gave me hope. for those who inspired me. . . for the good food, good music, breathe taking laughs, beautiful sunsets, contagious smiles, cramming days, creeping in the attic [you know who you are :D] . . . AND MORE. haha. i couldn't list them all.
maybe 2011 wasn't the best year i've had but it was at its best. :)
