Mission NOT Accomplished

You might wonder what this post is about. To tell you honestly, this is just another one of my rants. Why? I was suppose to finish this book somewhere in between my break. But apparently, motivation escaped me. Again. But I swear I'll finish this during Christmas break. I hope.

Last Days of Sembreak Well Spent

I haven't been updating that much since the break started. But I wanted my break to be productive and not just stare at the monitor of our computer, which I usually do. Well, I can't say my break had been that productive. I barely got out of my comfort zone during the break. But, there were a lot of things to do inside the house--reading, helping out in household chores, and movie marathon.

Well, the last days of my sembreak were spent watching Scooby-Doo movies on the 'net, with my brother (which explains the photo above). Yesterday, I enrolled at school and watched Suddenly It's Magic with my Mom. My Mom was weird yesterday. Haha!

I really don't have anything to say. So I'll end my post here.

Thank You 1st Semester ♥

So yesterday marked the start of my semestral break. Though my 1st semester in college was a little bit of hell, I still find it enjoying and, surprisingly, memorable. There was no day that was dull in our class, and proof of that is the photo you see above.

We were all strangers to each other, besides the fact that some of us were old schoolmates. But in the course of our journey, we faced challenges together, worked hard together, made memories together, and in the end, made a special bond of friendship.

No matter how hard the challenges are, no matter how pressured we get, no matter how rough the road of our journey is, we will always keep CALM, have FAITH, BREATHE, SMILE, and have FUN.

Through the tough times, we still had our smiles in our faces, stayed optimistic, and had fun. I'll surely miss our crazy days. I just hope that next semester will be better than last semester. :)

Canon Photoskwela @ SM Annex Davao

Hello! This will just be a short post. I'm kind of in a hurry.

Anyway, the photos you see above were taken last Saturday, September 1, 2012, at SM Annex Davao City. My classmate and I, together with another friend of his, attended the Canon Photoskwela, in which, 4 guest speakers were invited. I was late, so I missed one hour of the 1st workshop. 

But, technically, it was all on the powerpoint presentation they had prepared for us. But I enjoyed the day since I learned a lot from the speakers. The pictures above shows that, after a long day, we were still all smiles. :)

Boyce Avenue

Guess what I'm doing here.

It has been a long time since I last posted my playlist. I'm sorry for the delay. I had a lot of things to do and I had to sacrifice my time for blogging.

Anyway, there are a lot of songs playing in my mind since last week. But I'm currently drooling (well, not literally) over Boyce Avenue's soundtracks right now. You should check these out:

1.) Briane
2.) Find Me
3.) Broken Angel
4.) Every Breath
5.) Change Your Mind
6.) On My Way
7.) More Things to Say
8.) Tonight
9.) Hear Me Now
10.) Daylight

Plus a beautiful song cover of Fast Car featuring Kina Grannis! Check them out at youtube and all are available on iTunes.

The Best: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger

I've been reading this book since last Wednesday and I just finished it last night since I had nothing to do. It's a great book because it has a lot of sense of humor in it. It's so filled with sarcasm, but you have to identify if a certain statement is sarcastic or not. 

For a little spoiler:

It's a story about a young boy who deals with a lot of pressure in his life. 

For those who haven't read this, I suggest you grab one copy from the nearest bookstore near you before it runs out.

Next one on my list:

Well, there's a lot of them. John Green books, Nicholas Sparks collections, Paulo Coelho delights.

Gosh! I want to collect novels again. It has been a long time. 

I better start saving up.

Happy reading, friends!

Hello School Fiesta 2012!

Hello! So our two-day school feast is done and we're stuck with a lot of homeworks during the long weekend. So much for beauty rest.

Anyway, the photos you see above are few of the many that I took since Wednesday. They're not really good shots but they're fine for me.

This is my classmate and co-photographer for almost every school event we have, Neil John Sumalinog. :)

Happy viewing everyone!

Foto Modelo Ateneo Season 2

These 2 photos are my entries for Foto Modelo Ateneo Season 2. I joined this challenge because my classmate encouraged me to join with her. :) Sad to say, though I'm really not that sad, I didn't make it to the next round. Well, there's always a next time. :)

Project August 101

You read it right! This month will be a very busy month for me. I'll be doing a lot of projects for this month, both school-related and not school-related, since there are a lot of holidays and "no class" days. Here's a list of what I'm going to do this month:

1. Birthday surprise for ate Kath. Well, I just did this with my barkada. It was an epic fail, though. And we forgot to take pictures! :'((
2. Celebrate Carly's birthday. I'm not a fan of I-have-to-buy-her-or-him-a-gift-for-his-or-her-birthday crap. This girl is really special to us. She's pretty, actually. Maybe I should give her something worth keeping. :)
3. Celebrate my birthday at Abreeza. Well, 3 local stars in our country will visit our dearest Davao province on my birthday. I need to get some tickets, and ask my Mom for permission. Her permission would be the greatest gift ever!
4. Birthday surprise for Jec. She would be turning 17 this 22nd of August. We're still going to plan for this surprise, though.
5. Read hand-outs on Socio 111 and History 111. I'm fine with reading History, but with Sociology? I have to be serious with it. 
6. Read The Catcher in the Rye. We'll have our oral book report on the 24th for the second batch only. This is our midterm project for English 11. Wish me luck on this.
7. Study hard. 'Nuff said. 

So, that's the main list of what I'm going to do this month. The minor to-do's would be history. You don't need to know them. By the way, we'll be having our school feast 2 weeks from now, and next week, our professors would have their retreat. And next Sunday, hopefully, would be a great one. So, expect a lot of posts this month and if you have time, check out my tumblr account. Just click Tumblr on the right side of my blog. Enjoy and have a great day/night ahead!

Uh...

I seriously don't know what to post right now. The photo above is a photo of my favorite assorted highlighters. I've been addicted to them just recently, and I'm using them for highlighting important details of whatever I am reading (that is relevant to my subjects, of course!).

I know this is a lousy post. I'll try to be better next time since my mind is quite preoccupied right now, with a lot of term projects coming up. I hope you guys understand this. :)

Say Hello to Daniel Padilla!

He. Is. Cute. 'Nuff said. :)

She Will Be 18 BTS

I know we look stupid. Comically stupid. :) Let the photos do the talking!

"She Will Be 18" Photoshoot

Friends, let me introduce to you our circle's soon-to-be debutante: Francheska 'Sky' Gonzales Acuña.

Here it is! Well, this photoshoot didn't exactly had a title. I just made it up. hahaha! =)) So, these were some of the shots I took with my camera last Thursday at Camella Toscana. Actually, this was my very first photoshoot. I was quite reluctant, at first, when they said they wanted me to be the photographer of this mini-event. Who wouldn't be when I was only an amateur? 

But God was on my side so, tadaaah! The photos are not perfect, I know. I mean, there's no such thing as perfect, right? So I'll say that they are special. Very special. And the model/debutante is not the reason why it's so special. Nor the venue, or the people behind this successful shoot (but they are actually very special to me. :] ). Not even the camera settings have anything to do with its specialism. To make it look special, you have to believe it's special. :)

I am so proud to be part of this group and to be their official freelance-and-amateur photographer. :) To God be the glory! 'Behind the Scenes' shots up next! Stay tuned!

It's Off to College!

I've been very busy the past few days (or was it more?) due to my heavy hectic schedule. And now that classes are about to start (June 13 for us). I think I'll only be able to post here during Saturdays, or during Holidays (school holidays or regular holidays). 3 more days, and I'll be an official College Freshman at Ateneo de Davao College University. I hope i can make it through the 4 years. Wish me luck on that. To God be the glory! :))

In the meantime, I'll be posting the photos of my best friend's photoshoot last Thursday, in which I was the photographer. Details will be posted also later. :) So stay tuned!

My First Bucket List

There are a lot of things I want to do before school starts again. But there are only 13 days left, so, I think it's impossible to do all of it, unless I know multi-tasking. There are 7 things I want to do before school officially starts.

1. Collect puppies. Stupid. I know. Maybe, be able to spend time with my favorite dog. :)

2. Doodle. Man! I have to start practicing again. :(

3. Eat. And I mean a lot. I want to make myself look fat.

4. Bond with my friends. Go swimming again, stroll around the mall, hang-out at a park, etc. I miss them so much. :(

5. Have a straight hair. I think I'll have it next week or this week.

6. Watch movies. I keep watching the same movies, so I want new ones. Unfortunately, I don't have time to go to the mall.

7. Finish watching Fate/Stay Night. I'm still on episode 5. Seriously.

Well, I think I should start now. Keep reading, friends! :)
