Fun holiday fun

Hi folks, sorry I haven't been posting lately. You know how it goes when you get back from (an awesome) vacation: the lack of willpower to work, plus leftover work, etc, etc.

Davao was awesome! (See above comment in parenthesis!) People were so nice, shopping was awesome, and they took us to Samal island. If haven't been there, try to book a flight now. It was paradise. We stepped onto a boat with a big buffet table in the middle, they were grilling fish, they had lechon, pancit, all that. And pomelo! I love pomelo. By the way I saw fruit boxes there and they spelled it: PUMMELO. I think that's a cuter way to spell it. Anyway, they took us to a couple of spots like the Coral Garden where we got to float around in the middle of the sea. Oh and there was a jet ski! I fell off of it hardcore because our friend Jason was crazy, making all these crazy turns. And I also had the longest jet ski ride of my life, in the middle of the ocean. Water was so clear, sand was white, the day was lovely. All around good vibes, basically.

I only have phone and lomo photos (but I haven't gone around to having those printed), so I'm borrowing some photos from Daily Grind. Pahiram ha. :)







Come to the next Excursion!

I love you,
W

Lessons for Creatives from David Hockney

This is something I read the other day and now I have to find the book and I thought it would be nice for you to read this, too.

I think I’m greedy, but I’m not greedy for money – I think that can be a burden – I’m greedy for an exciting life. I want it to be exciting all the time, and I get it, actually. On the other hand, I can find excitement, I admit, in raindrops falling on a puddle and a lot of people wouldn’t. I intend to have it exciting until the day I fall over.

The complete article is over at Nextness. :)

Excursion: Davao City

As you read this, I've probably landed in Davao. My first time here! Very excited. I don't think I have any friends in Davao...yet. But if you do read this and you're in Davao, drop by the Saless Bar tonight!

Durian kisses,
W

Life is sweet in the belly of the beast.

Some photos of the exhibit, and some from the initial set-up. :)

Travel while you're young.

Went to the mall again today, to finally get those glasses I need. Apparently, my right eye has been near sighted this whole time and it's been causing a lot of my headaches. Anyway, I stopped by the grocery first to buy some supplies and then decided to check out what restaurants they had there for lunch. I remember when I was a kid Rustan's always had a restaurant beside it with the sun logo, do you remember what it's called? And they always used to have really good mango and orange juices. Anyway, that restaurant isn't there anymore but it did have this little place called Kashmir. I had the 60-peso vegetarian burger that comes either with mango chutney or garlic sauce. It was pretty alright. And so there I was sitting by my lonesome and I spotted this lovely elderly woman who was wearing a really nice printed blouse and paired it with the most outrageous patterned trousers and somehow managed to pull it off so elegantly. She asked me if she could share the table with me. She had Audrey Hepburn eyebrows. Then we got into a nice conversation. She teaches french and spanish classes at a language school nearby and I told her that french is in my list of languages to learn, right next to brazilian portugese (which, I hope a brapanese model teaches to me hihi). She's taught in Indonesia and India, and by the end of our conversation, she says to me : "Travel while you're young."

That, I intend to do.

Elements from old studies that weren't approved and I'm recycling to send you a message. :)

Happy Valentine's.

I hope you have someone you like/love to snuggle with tonight! Particularly, yourself! I hope you love yourself!

And since we're on the topic of love, I am rounding up a couple of things I love in my room:

My Puiji, of course.


The goodluck cat!


Brown Sugar perfume by Fresh. It smells like Butter, Sugar and Lemon crepes!


Lately, these two very heavy books called The New Artisans and James Jean's Rebus have been inspiring me alot.


My moon projector! A gift the manfriend gave me years ago. You press it and you have a full moon, right on your ceiling! <3


The purple skull.


A tin plate I bought at the Japan Surplus shop.


My Sesame Street record, another gift from the manfriend 5 years back, when we were just 'friends'. :)


My baby beluga book from Hannah!

Love love love!
