sorta inspired by ariel.
Camp Nikos Day 2 ♡
Second and last day of our Youth camp. We had lots of free time this day, so I got to take more pictures than the day before.
I’ll put the photos under the cut this time since a few anons have been messaging me telling me to put everything under a cut. :P
Franzyl, Shaina and I woke up early, so we decided to take a walk around the camp before breakfast. We also saw Aura (sorry, i don’t know how to spell your name!)
We ended up walking to the swimming pool to wade our feet in the water. I also saw the boys coming from the pool earlier in the morning when I woke up.
Breakfast consisted of fried rice, beef, ham and sausage.
YPs singing the opening song for our last season for the camp.
A picture of almost everybody outside the dorms.
Manong Noynoy and Tammy!
Manang Marnie (and Manong Flip in the background haha)
Apparently my posts are never really complete without Anton.
Camp Nikos Day 1 ♡
Hi friends! I’m back from camp (well, I came back yesterday, actually), and I brought back more than a hundred of photos for you to see. I’ll be using “Manong” and “Manang” instead of Kuya and Ate because I’m more used to calling them by that. :P
And to start off this post, a derpy picture of Anton.
We boarded the pumpboat at around 6:15 in the morning, and I immediately whipped out my camera. It never left my neck for most of the stay, we only parted when I took a bath, haha.
Mountains in the distance.
Sunrise. See those pretty clouds?
Houses by the sea, and old school buildings back in the city.
Manong Noynoy taking pictures in the boat.
Entering Guimaras’ port. The water was quite polluted. :/
We finally arrived after a good 20-30 minutes of travel by water.
Anton was happy to have arrived.
Random ~ninja~ shots of our churchmates walking.
My good friend Sydril/Eira (I also fondly call her Nikon girl sometimes). Even though she fractured her arm over a month ago, she still continues to do her passion: photography and videography…
This is her. :P A photo taken shortly after we arrived at Camp Nikos.
Anton taking a picture with instagram.
Me, Shaina, Anton and Krystal did a little exploring before the others arrived. There were swings and benches all over the place!
…And they finally arrived. Entering camp like a boss.
Everybody else getting off of their ride.
I found this spot with a magnificent view…
…so I called my friends over.
Our first meal when we arrived. One must not miss eating Guimaras’ delicious mangoes!
Noticed small lights hanging so I took a picture.
Pretty Shaina is pretty.
Going back to the session hall.
…Just after we went to the session hall, the rain poured and poured. Brrr!
Pictures of Wendy taken on May 21, 2011 and 2012. Both unedited.
I’m so happy to see that I’ve grown so much after a year. Every few months, I put together photos taken from the past months. And then, I ask myself, “Have I improved even in the slightest?” I also show my friends and ask them if I’ve improved, and I’m always happy to hear the big amounts of “yes”-es every time. Of course, sometimes people tell me the colors aren’t right, they’re too desaturated, too bright, too dark, wrong composition, etc. but I don’t really mind them telling me that. I’m actually happy, because from those points, I try to improve.
I used to get angry or offended when people tell me my pictures have something wrong in them, to tell the truth. But over time, I’ve learned to accept them because I realized, if I didn’t listen to them, how can I grow to be a better photographer?
I stumbled upon my old watercolors today. I haven’t used them in about 2-3 years. So I decided to try coloring my drawings with watercolor. I used up about 3-4 pages of my sketchbook just for experimenting. Only two came up good enough (for me), haha.
TRC ♡
Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle, or TRC in short, is probably my favorite manga ever. I was a super fangirl of Cardcaptor Sakura back when I was little, so you could probably tell how joyous I was when I found out that there was some sort of sequel to it, even if it happens in an alternate dimension.
I first watched the TRC anime back in 2nd grade, and I loved it to bits. After season 2 ended, I was deeply saddened. 3 years later, in 5th grade, while browsing through the bookstore after school, I chanced upon the 1st volume of the Tsubasa manga. I immediately bought it. After I finished reading the first volume, I decided to search the internet for a site where I could read it for free and found a manga site, and after a few weeks, I finished all the 28 volumes.
The storyline was pretty different from CCS, well, TRC is way, way more tragic, sad and bloody (and not to mention confusing! ugh clamp).
Anyway, that’s enough of sharing my Tsubasa memories (lol). Yesterday was Tsubasa’s 9th anniversary (yes, the same day as my birthday! this must be destiny!). And coincidentally (or more like hitsuzen in the clamp multiverse), my best friend got me the character guide. 200+ pages of CLAMP prettiness ahhhh.
Once you open it, you’ll immediately die from prettiness. Posters! This one of Sakura and Syaoran is my favorite. <3
Chibis! The chibi “other Syaoran” is the cutest eveerrrr. There were also quizzes, old anime opening drafts of IT’S, clothing designs, dimension guides, etc. Absolute perfection in my eyes.
This is probably the best birthday gift I’ve received this year. My best friend knows me so well. Thank you Abi!
the power of photoshop hahaha. nothing to do haha.
Innocent Sorrow ♡
A mini-shoot, I guess.
Err, okay. Enough with the sad photos, haha. Here are a few slightly happier ones (all of Abi).
May 21, 2012 ♡
Happy birthday to me! I spend the day with some of my bestest friends (the guys didn’t come! boo! :().
We agreed to meet at 11, but only me and Kat came on time. Abi was late, as usual, haha. Though, she gave me a gift that I’ll most definitely love with all my heart. She’s the sweetest ever!
When the last of us arrived, we headed straight to the nearest mall for lunch. We ate at McDonald’s and had our usual chicken. I managed to snap this picture of the streets from the window I was sitting next to.
Abi talking to Krystal. We passed by the capitol on the way to the museum, where we had some sort of mini-shoot. haha.
You guys might probably be tired of seeing Abi’s face in almost every post, but yeah. I love her to bits. (And mostly because I’ve got no other friends who’re willing to let me take pictures of them haha. Or simply, I don’t have any other friends, harhar.)
The lovely Shaina, who wouldn’t believe me when I called her pretty.
Me. My mama called me early in the morning and she told that I must have my picture taken today. She also scolded me for always taking pictures of my friends, but have no pictures of myself, haha.
Abi scares me so much sometimes.
Wendy will probably kill me for posting this online, but yeah.
After we got tired of taking pictures outside the museum, we changed locations and rode a jeepney to the nearest plaza.
Dirty soles.
Shaina enjoying the scenery.
After this, we went to my house and just eat and eat ice cream and pizza. We also browsed through 9gag ang played with my graphic tablet, lol.
I’ve got some more pictures of Abi and Wendy to share, but I’ll include them in another entry (which will be posted in a bit).
Another free curve! It’s my birthday tomorrow, so I’m giving away a free curve. It’s called “yellow trees.” :>
