Sunday. The Semi-Family Day

That Sunday (18 September 2011) when I didn’t bring my camera. So I used my brother’s phone—a Samsung Galaxy S—to take photos.

Two weeks ago, my brother and I visited our mom in Makati. Somewhat the same thing happened as last weekend. So I’ll just post pictures

Mom was really tired so we sat down and had a crepe each from Cafe Breton.

Mom busy figuring out how to use the Internet.

The view of outside from inside. The restaurant was a bit cramped.

Proportions, where are you? D:

Nom nom nom.

My drink. Minus the whipped cream.

My brother's order.

Then we went to DADS after three hours (we went around the malls in between). Yep. Black holes inside our tummies.

Then the obligatory coffee after meal. Thanks to Berts for taking the photo

Sept 25: DAY OFF!

Last Friday was really stressful. I was supposed to watch my friends’ play, Black Prom, but then our Women’s Week (XX) play TDR encountered crazy problems got cancelled which we won’t be showing anymore which made it impossible for me to leave and watch the play. The crazy problems gave rise to even crazier problems. I swear, it’s just.. never mind. But I don’t regret anything about being in XX. There are so many awesome people there, and I’m glad I got to be with those people.

Anyway, moving on. So yesterday (Saturday), my brother and I met up with our mom in Makati since it’s going to be her last day here in Manila. She left early this morning.

Saturday morning, I woke up feeling really tired despite the seven-hour sleep (the longest I’ve gotten in two weeks!). I woke up thinking of the many things I have to fix and all the catching up I have to do with my academic life. But since I already had plans of going out, I decided to just be out the whole day. I haven’t had a stress-free day in so many weeks so I put everything aside (for real) and just decided to enjoy my Saturday.

When Justin and I arrived in Greenbelt 5, mom was still busy doing work things so we just went around. We stumbled upon the Lego exhibit thing )

Here are more pictures:

This one's pretty badass.

Then we went inside Sinfully. And everything inside it was indeed sinful

I really needed time out from everything. So yes, all out on these goodies.

Look at them beauties.

Green tea!!

Oh gosh a few more photos. Haha I get lazy typing so I’ll just throw in lots of photos )

I want a cake like this on my birthday ...or a slice for every day I'm alive.

That's me and my brother in some shop's mirror.

Found this really pretty clock From a shop in front of Sinfully. I forgot the name of the shop though They had lots of cool things inside. It's like a more expensive Cubao Expo )

I wonder how much this would be without the box )

Bizu time! We all had brunch already before we all met up in Greenbelt but we still decided to eat. Mom was all quiet and tired-looking since she just came from a test from her training thing for work. Hah! Now you know how I feel… everyday.

Good food ♥

After Bizu, mom and I had coffee at Starbucks. We always have coffee after our meals. This is our bisyo

Then me, mommy and Justin went around Fully Booked while waiting for Berto. Mom paid for my new pencils and drawing ink and calligraphy stuff! ♥

Berto then picked us up and we all went to Rockwell to check out the exhibit of a contest I joined (I got in the Top 14! Yay!) and then went around some more to look for shoes for my sister, Hanna. Then we went to Bacolod Chicken Inasal for dinner after!

Thank you for joining us even though you came from duty and just had three hours of sleep. You are the sweetest boy ever

And oh! I got a new case for my BB! Thanks again, mom!! (I snuck it in when my mom was paying for her BB Playbook and BB phone leather case. LOLJK) This case is really for the Torch but then it's just too cute and it fits just fine so I got it It doesn't lock though but, oh well.

Hello!

Mom and Berto talking about work )

Then we dropped off mom to her hotel then Justin to our condo and Berto and I went to the ID party! Thank you, Bertots, for insisting on going with me even though you were really tired and you needed to wake up early next day for your 6am class/lecture. I can’t even… whatever. You’re the best

A photo of us tryna be cool ) Thanks to Kitkat L. for the photo!

Attempts at Art

Everything is off. I suck at proportions

Something I did for a header.

I copied this from a calendar I gave my mom last Christmas. Except it's... messier/sad.

 

First time experimenting with fire.

Cafe Breton Date

Cafe Breton, Ayala Technohub

So we had a date last night just to de-stress. I missed this boy </3 We’ve been both so busy lately and stress has been turning me into a monster. I can’t wait for this semester to be over! I’m definitely hitting the beach this sembreak (I hope I can have a beach trip with this pretty boy too)!

Of course I took a photo of him first

The pretty place:

She looks so happy doing her thing )

Nutella, sliced almonds and banana +vanilla ice cream!

We ate another one with tomatoes, cheese and egg inside

A photo before leaving the place.

We walked around the place after. I was feeling a bit down that night though. Too much stress from org work. It’s even affecting my health, no kidding. I don’t know how I’m going to handle things. Every day, I’m thinking of how to make things work. I’m always stressed. There are times when I feel like quitting everything (not talking about suicide, k). But I know so many people will be disappointed if I do quit. Ugh. I need to be better at things

What’s a false move? Is it very different from a real one?

Funny what I had to do to get this shot. I had to make him throw a stuffed toy in the air and hit it with his head like how he does it with a soccer ball. Posing is just not his thing D: The things I do to make things less awkward ;__;

I don’t own any of those complicated flash things for a DSLR, so I just used my lomo camera’s ring flash for this. I’m really so tired of school work (Marketing, Philosophy, Theology, etc.) so I decided to take a break from all that for a while and do a mini shoot. So here it is. That’s my brother, Justin. He’s really an awkward turtle, so it was hard trying to get these photos. The only thing I could think of to make things less awkward was to put in the Angry Bird stuffed toy so he won’t be so conscious of the camera )
