Farewell Act

Before flying to Palawan for college, my friend Brittny decided to take us out for a treat! Hurrah!

But unfortunately, I wasnt able to go. Bummer. I failed to slave myself enough to get a ticket out of the house.

It's a good thing my mom has a heart. She allowed me to go out and spend the next day with Brittny: To help her pack a boatload of valuable things essential for her survival in the island. And some other random things like apple cider and christmas lights. Seriously. 

After we are sorta done, we went out for a picturepicture session in a parking area of a newly opened mall in the next municipality. Here are some of the photos.

I'm just gonna walk here tryna look like I don't see a camera up ahead. 

You may disagree but I find this photo cool tbh.

God Bless in Palawan, Lerde! 

 

What I wore:

Hat: Secret. Lol

Inner piece: Baleno

Denim jacket shirt thingy: Forever 21

Jeans: Thriftshop

Footwear: SM Milanos

You can notice that this post is poorly named. Forgive me. Lol

Sharply Blunted

My sister is one stubborn little brat. Well, at least to me. Like, she never believes what I say and she never does what I tell her to do. I'm still not used to it. Why the eff? But when it comes to getting her dressed up, she suddenly becomes all nice and polite. Wise for a six year old, I guess? So here's what we were able to come up that day. 

She wants to be Barbara from Asia's Next Top Model so bad. Lol 

She had tantrums when we were at SM's F21 boutique that day because she wanted to get a hat like this for herself! Mom didn't get her one though.

Yeah. I need more practice. And a new camera, too! Lol. Tell mom pls. 

First Instameet Experience

After hours of chores and days of begging mom, I finally got to join an Instameet! Yayy!

Getting there was not at all smooth. It was full of waiting for jeepneys, seeking for shades and calling for taxis under the parching heat of the sun with my friends Ryann Reyes and Brittny Lourde.

It started with some sort of an activity prepared by the organizer/s that gives other grammers an idea about how your feed looks like and what kind of pictures you take and etc..

Light conversations were going on over the table when we decided to start taking photographs. I suddenly felt a tickle in the pit of the stomach. Like the M&M shake whatsit I ordered came alive in my gut and did the naenae. Anyways, these are some of the photos we were able to take (or I was able to steal).

The meet was held at Cafe Racer along NRA. Photo by Brittny 

Look at me. I look so happy... Photo by Ryann

...and awkward. Photo by Brittny

This is the only decent photo I was able to take. Cheers to that!

My first Instameet was eerily fun. It was a kind of fun that my system isn’t used to. It felt like a hole in me that I never knew existed has been filled. Like an unknown craving was fed. Like I french kissed a dragon and liked it. (can’t think of anymore similes)

What made it more meaningful to me is that awesome people I follow on Instagram are awesomer in person (yes, awesomer. Superlative: awesomest). They don’t make you feel inferior and it feels nice to a tyro like me. With people like them in the background of the event, the potentials of Instameet are endless.

So if you ever think of attending an Instameet, don’t hangback and join! You have read my testimony about my first Instameet and I assure you your first is going to be nothing less!
