The Universe Has A Body And Soul And Evolves Through Cosmic Time. As Microcosms Of Stardust, We Do The

“sweet and soft as summer, darlings, maple trees in bloom and grass green in the sunny places—”

An indian almond tree (or talisay as we’d like to call it) near our classroom just had its annual shedding from red to the color of the year and it’s so refreshing to see this after the last weeks of school. ✨

Can’t wait for vacation.

Life lately 😐

⛅ First thing's first, is that I HAVEN'T EATEN ANY OF THIS YEAR'S AVOCADOES 😞

I get my avocadoes from friends and relatives who are lucky enough to have their own avocado trees and it always gets crazy when it's in season. Somehow this year, the trees are late and I felt a missing piece of summer when I didn't celebrated it with my avocadoes. Huhuhu

⛅ I wasn't feeling really good last April when it comes to doing the things I love, I had no motivation and was super out of it and I didn't know why. Back then, my thoughts concluded and blamed some retrograde (lol) and didn't arrive any "final" decision because I always keep changing my mind (which sucked tbh). So I wanted to escaped my out of that through reading volumes and I mean VOLUMES of comics, manga, webtoons, watched youtube videos of every kind until around the first days of May, I found Mateusz Urbanowicz's channel full of the kind of art I love & I want to renshuu(!!). It was also around this time that I felt like I was back on my feet again (but back to square one since I was out of it for the past months even school had ended). Clara Benin's new song also came out in a demo posted on her channel and THIS, THIS was indeed an eye opening thing when I heard it for the first time, always struck by her words. Wrestle helped me so much during that strange time.😌

⛅ So I came back and had my ooh moments together with me and I was straight on with planning personal projects. I started off with a scenery practice with a twitter photoset of Ghibli scenery (WHICH I STILL HAVEN'T FINISHED YET BECAUSE HUHU 💔 I WANNA FINISH IT!). I felt like I was in the zone (lol) and I was soo into it but it got cut off right away because a summer job called in that was supposed to be already there last April but they started late in the middle of May so I suddenly got my hands full 😐 Ended the summer with a tiring job that unexpectedly and barely paid smh (not going back there ever) 💔 The zone is gone but even now I still want to finish what I've started aaa timing sucks hmp.

⛅ SENIOR YEAR!! School started and I kinda miss my previous class since they were all kind of approachable and easy to talk to compared to this year. I observed that I don't talk much to this class but we'll see as time flies since it's still the first three weeks of school so 🌞 I also observed that I suddenly have more time in between periods and that maybe I could be more productive instead of sleeping & staring at the open space haha 🙆

Let's just see how everything goes

Galileo Galilei, my heroes. I'm gonna miss you guys ❤

Oslob, Cebu, And Whale Sharks ♡

Hello from PH!! I just came back from a trip that was so beautiful, I wanna do it all over again (soon, hopefully haha).

We took the road from Cebu City around six in the morning and arrived after 3 hours of road trip. One of the first things I noticed was all the bleeding fire trees while we were traveling. Since it’s summer, fire trees are currently in flowering season as if it were giving autumn vibes minus the summer heat haha.

(EDIT: I told my mother about the pretty fire trees and she said that years ago, my grandfather and his workmates were the ones who were planting these trees all over Santander and Oslob and now they are all grown so big and tall and created happiness huhu lolo ;_;)

Imagine them red flaming trees with the blues of the sea and the crisp cloudless sky. (because i wasn’t able to take a photo of them huhu)

It was my first time in Oslob. The sea was so nice and blue. <3

We stayed in a cozy resort and the people around here were so friendly.

I had to quickly buy a new pair of slippers because they were torn apart along the way. I must say that these classic Spartans are much more trusted than my previous Bench flip flops. Recommending Spartans slippers for any kind of adventure lololol.

Omiyageee. All eyes on the nice prints. *_*

Their souvenirs were so cute! I bought tank tops for papa and lil bro. Since it was also papa’s birthday, I had to bring back a souvenir or something haha.

Highlight: Swimmin with whale sharks!

When I was in first grade, my teacher asked for examples of fish. I answered “whale shark!”. “Whale shark? What whale shark? Just shark!”, said the teacher. I can’t believe my teacher doesn’t even know this fish. But that was years ago.

.

I’ve heard and read opinions and articles about Oslob’s whale shark interactions. Some say that it’s too crowded that the whole activity is too much for the whale sharks. It’s true that there were lots of people (I feel like I’m adding more dirt to dirt ;_;) but the staff was very friendly to the tourists.

Whale sharks can also be found in Southern Leyte, Donsol, Batangas, and even Bohol. Some say that these locations have lesser people. Since they’re migratory, whale sharks are mostly found in their path of good plankton for food.

Other than that, I tried my very best to be cautious and not be nervous at the same time. These gentle giants were so majestic and they deserve more awareness and protection. I’ve learned a lot about these creatures.

Everyone was so friendly (I keep saying this aahh), it makes your day 10x better. :)

Clear your tired eyes with salt water every now and then! (hi Reese)

Hopes and dreams,

☔ Green dewy grass and air getting cold horaaay but man June passed so quickly. Oh and I finally got a new journal last month after two years.

I know its like the first of July but I’m in the middle of all reality and stress with a pile of schoolwork to do huhu but I know all will be well. Keep reminding myself about the small things I see in town like the weird pink tricycle whose horn sounds like a rooster, a dog that looks like a hairless pig, the different kinds of birds living in the backyard, the homeless woman cooking breakfast early in the morning, the electric post that still grows branches and leaves on top of itself, or the cool skater dude with locks that passes by at school. 

Yeah, we are definitely gonna be fine

I believe that 2016 is soooo going to be cute <3

PANTONE Color of the Year 2016

Even in the tiniest details could make a difference. 😌💚

things to pay attention to

the tiny specks of colour in their eyes

the bass and background sounds in a song

starlight on a cloudy night

how someone looks when they think nobody can see them

the mannerisms of a stranger

real meanings behind spoken words

subtle facial expressions which last a second

the underlying flavours in food

emotions that a friend is trying to hide

little lights in a sleeping city

flowers growing through cracks in the pavement

the mixed colour palette in a piece of art

the melody of someone’s voice
