So this post was supposed to be published on the 31st of December 2013 but being the usual lazy 17-year old that I am, I didn't do it. But nevertheless, here they are.
(January 5; Another one of those dull days lying and rolling in bed with my phone in my hand and since I made the sun my bestfriend for photography, I decided to take a shot. This actually turned out to be amazing than what I had in mind)
(April 28, 5:42 p.m; My parents and I were coming home from the Mall of Asia and there was a pretty sunset. Sun equals bestfriend. Wonderful relationship results to pretty pictures (I wish I had zoomed it a bit more but the zoom of my phone would make the shot look all grainy))
(June 15; Just a random picture of a bracelet I bought from Quiapo. If you guys want to buy cheap accessories, I swear, Quiapo is the place for you)
(August 4; this was actually taken in the cemetery where my grandparents are buried in. That day was very rare considering that August is part of the rainy season and it was pretty sunny. Regarding my oxfords, I bought them in Liliw which is in Laguna. It's like this strip of shoe shops and all of these stores sell really cheap shoes. I think I bought the one I'm wearing above for less than 400 pesos. I can't remember but I need to buy new ones because the inside is wearing out and it's been with me for two years. I've been asking for my parents for a trip to Liliw again!)
(August 30; I was coming home from watching The Mortal Instruments: City of Bones. I watched it alone and found, once I got inside the theater, that a few people were watching it alone too. Guess I don't need to have a companion to watch the movies with all the time after all haha!)
(September 6; Since we always had a two-hour break before swimming class, my college friends and I used our excess time after eating lunch deciding where to hang out as we wait before we head on to the swimming pool area. This is one of those days where we chose to sit in one of the benches in the Lover's Lane in UST. This is also one of those days where I was attracted to hands for no apparent reason. I'm sorry. Like in my description, I'm weird half the time)
(September 27; I think this was the day that we didn't have classes because our college's faculty had something to do but my classmates and I still had to go to school to attend our PE class. My friend, Shane, and I decided to spend our morning in the library to finish our research paper for our Academic Writing class. I was brought to school by my dad a bit too early so I waited a few minutes before the library opened)
(September 29: I was practicing taking pictures from above, sort of like an aerial view. I posted two more pictures in this post)
(November 1; My parents and I had breakfast at Causeway. Dim sum is always on my plate in any Chinese restaurant that we eat in)
(November 16; We were on our way home from our first NSTP fieldwork in Bataan. I think this was the time most of my nstp classmates were asleep and only a few us were awake watching The Conjuring on the tv on board)
(November 25; I am in love with this picture because of the moon and the lavender color of the sky. This was the first day I shot my first video diary. No one was at school by the time I got there so I had the liberty of taking as much pictures as I can without anyone finding it a bit weird)
(December 1; We went to the Noel Bazaar to see what people were selling there at the start of the Christmas season. I was able to buy a studded bag and a dainty necklace from one of the stalls there. And these doughnuts . . . I am telling you, they tasted like heaven!)
(December 2; Second day I shot my first video diary. Another lovely lavender sky)
(December 3; Of all the things that Thomasian students expect in an academic year, the opening of the Paskuhan lights is definitely one of them. UST displays one of the most beautiful Christmas lights I have ever seen in my life. So much effort just to make the campus light up and fill everyone's hearts with that happy Christmas feel)
(December 20; This isn't really a photography-type kind of photo but I just wanted to bring this up because my friends called it the "ombre pizza")
(December 29; I am currently reading Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro and I like the simplicity of the story. My mom gave me this book, along with Love & Misadventure by Lang Leav and The House of Hades by Rick Riordan, for Christmas)
It's always a hard time for me picking a permanent coloring for my pictures. Luckily, I discovered Julia Trotti, an Australian photographer, who takes the most beautiful shots in my opinion. She's my new inspiration as a photographer because I partly want to get into fashion photography.
Aside from her blog, she also has a website called Digital Film Actions where she sells the lightroom presets and photoshop actions and curves that she uses in her pictures. After going through the pages of her blog, I found some photoshop curves that she provided for free and I actually used some of them in the pictures above.
Anyway, this entry actually took me forever to make because I made long captions of every photo. It's technically already December 4, Saturday, because it's midnight. I need to learn how to sleep early. *sighs*
