Came across these photos taken more than a month ago, before heading to SMX for Manila F.A.M.E.. I haven't been able to write down my thoughts on this blog, mainly because of the convenience of Instagram! I'm hoping all that's going to change soon as I'm planning to get back to my old style of blogging- back when a photo or two would be enough for an entry. I've somehow forgotten how this was supposed to be like an online journal, so the amount of entries just waiting to be published is piling up. It's ironic how so much of my life has changed during the first half of this year and I haven't told a lot of you about any of that! So far I'm busier but more grateful than ever, and I can't stop saying how lucky I am to be able to actually find what I'm passionate about. It's true that sometimes you find everything that you're doing is so pointless, but they are part of a bigger picture. You doubt yourself so many times, but I've realised it's not that important to seek affirmation/validation from other people-- our own light gives that to us. 

A few photos taken over the weekend...

Too hot even in Baguio. The temperature was up 34ºC  before we headed back to Manila!

I had to work on Labor Day so I was allowed to offset the supposed holiday to go to Baguio with the fam for Riz's birthday. I also had to work for my dad over the weekend, but did I manage to finish? No. I doubt anyone else could with THAT view from home! Flying to Cebu is the same story- I lose the will to get any work done and I become too lazy to even go out for a run... Sometimes the city can do you good!

Baguio photo diary

Baguio weekend

Filipino traditional furniture sketches... Would've done them in freehand but that would take me more time. Filipino furniture requires so much detailing! Don't have photos showing the details though. Huu.

Those are just SOME of the things I was rushing to finish so I could catch up to my family in Baguio for New Year's. Forgot to take a photo of the mood boards since I was really in a hurry. If I didn't pass them I had the option to stay alone in our Manila home to spend new year's by myself. Umm, no thanks.

Loved the earthy and green vibe of this place. Even their accessories and place mats were eco-friendly.

An hour away from Baguio, we stopped by this place that had Kopi Luwak or Coffee Alamid. My dad sorta tricked me into drinking this. They were hunting for those beans before during a mountain expedition with my brother. They sent me a video and I vowed to never taste it because of how the beans were.... harvested. I found out that I was indeed taking a sip of that coffee after seeing the cat drawing on the cup. It's Php 300 per cup and it actually tastes good. But I think I can go on with life without ever ordering it again. :))

Why I love our house in Baguio.... This view just takes away all the stress in your system.

Mum and dad's room from below. Couldn't take a photo of the whole facade from the balcony cos of my prime lens. *apologizes*

Gonna do the last few plates I have to pass this week during the first week of the new term. School is crazyyy!

Welcoming 2011 with you all...

My resolutions are slightly different this year:

1. to graduate and say goodbye to non-stop sleeplessness

2. To amp my fitness and diet plan (sidetracked cos of work, gigs and school, wasn't able to run and do power yoga as much as I planned to. It's hard to think about yourself when you don't sleep at all!)

3. to LIVE and SING for Him, as always.

Happy New Year, guys! :)
