Project: Strangers of Rome

Well it's been a month since I came back from Rome. It was a historic city (complete with cobble stones and old streets and things) and I don't know if I can justify how beautiful the city was in this blog post. (haha cause I've been out of the blogging/writing world for quite some time so..how do you write.. /wrist hahahaha)

During the trip, I thought that I should start a project or just come back to taking pictures of people, places, and things. I've always wanted to do a project involving strangers. Or photos of strangers. Well, it begins. Below are (stalker) photos of people I didn't know but somehow fascinated me.

In case you're reading this and you saw your face in one of the photos...hi.



















And here's to more adventures. With Augustus. :)

Augustus to the world Pt. 2

I just had to make a separate blog post of strangers sitting on benches. Hm. I wonder how many stories these benches have heard. Or the people who met there or didn't meet. People who waited there and waited and waited... Watching life pass by (or something womp.)

I kinda wanna hear their conversation. It looks interesting.

Generations.

Augustus to the world Pt. 1

We took a trip to Hongkong this sembreak and I FINALLY got to take Augustus (okay fine, my camera) out, presented the world to him and..we just had that chemistry. Well we're kind of still building it but we'll get there. I'm just really happy that I somehow had the chance to take photographs again. Yay. Here's to more adventures and sightings by Augustus! :)

Aaah. My favorite time of the day! Sunset.

I wish streets in Manila are like this. My kind of afternoon.

I saw this old lady cleaning her dogs after a hard day's work. It made me smile.

I just had to post this photo because Timon is DEFINITELY WERKING IT! GUUUURRRL.

And lastly, here's a photo of the cutest baby boy! I wanna bite his cheeks aaaggghh.

Sembreak 2k12

Well it's sembreak 2k12 oh look time flies so fast. I'm almost halfway through my sophomore year and the next thing I know, I'm graduating, conquering the world, going to places, discovering new things about the world, about myself, etc. etc. But right now, we gotta live while we're young (yes, one direction pun) and make every moment special. Yep. I hope I can make Sembreak 2k12 really productive and fun. I am so ready for an adrenaline kicker this break. YES.

An Abundance of Katherines

It's almost the end of my freshman year in college and this is a totally unrelated quote. Anyway, I love John Green and I'm currently reading An Abundance of Katherines and it's amazing and funny. Hi. I'll try to write more often when I'm not busy. Life goes on.

Happy 2012!

Some hipstah photo for you guys! Yay. Happy 2012! Same shit, different year! Haha no. Yes. Depends. I hope I'll update this blog more often and write some more (not academic writing blegh). Yep. I miss blogging and yeah that's it. I'm just rambling and sitting in front of my computer and it's New Year's Eve and I don't even want to go out and I need to get a life but I don't know where to start. Yeah.

Song for the New Year?

Actually their whole album. "Last Night On Earth" yay for Noah and the Whale! Cheers!

"People wait, some because they are looking for the perfect moment, but do perfect moments exist?"

A New Film by Ten Days Productions. 11.11.11

My friends and I started this new film production and we're releasing a short it this Friday yay! Sembreak Project 2k11.

Bottled up feelings

Cheer up, child. It'll turn out all right in the end. You'll see. –Mrs.Pott (Beauty and the Beast) 

The quote isn't really related or idk. It's from Mrs. Pott though. Mrs. Pott!! (woah Andi what's her connection with Coke? or a bottle? idk man. idk.)
So this is what happened when Andi saw a bottle of Coke as her inspiration. Yep. I like epiphanies.
I need to practice lighting techniques. I'll get there. Sembreak 2k11 is great so far. I've done 6 out of 9 goals. Woopeedoo! Life's good. Life's great.

*I am not endorsing Coke or s/t. Ehehe.

Bad Idea No. 19

"Don't assume you'll never find love. Don't."

I found this little book called "Don't arm wrestle a pirate: 101 really bad ideas" - though I'm not sure if that's the exact title, in a booksale. I just found it interesting and since there was a pirate on the cover..it seemed cool. Yes, this book IS cool. Yep.

Bad quality is bad but I still love blogger.

"In the pleasure of getting lost, you discover a new way. Choose to be lost."

Somewhere, everywhere

"Because sometimes, escaping seems the most courageous thing to do."

Describe to me a smile that lights up the whole world.

"There is a moment..."

The picture has nothing to do with the things I'm going to say in this post. I just decided to post a picture since originally, this site is supposed to be a photoblog. I haven't taken much pictures during the past few months and it saddens me. 

My professor told us that you have to nurture what you're good at and be better than that. I guess I just fail at that. I settle for average. I just let it pass. I just let it flow too much. I ignore the world too much. This is too much.

Describe to me a smile that lights up the whole world.


The smile. The smile that makes you smile. The picture that gets stuck in your head. That smile. The way the lips curved and the eyes seemed to shimmer in the dark. The familiar crinkle near your eyes that just seemed perfect. That smile that looked so genuine. That smile that sent a thousand messages through your head. That smile that you'd want to see over and over again. That simple glance and wave and smile. That gesture of sharing happiness. Just please, smile again.

i wish i was that person you’d talk to. you seemed so sad today. i wanted to approach you, ask what is up. maybe. you looked outside the window, deep in thought. i knew something is wrong. obviously. don’t worry, it will get better. talk to me.

then i remembered the smile that lights up the whole world. let me see that again. soon.

There is a light that never goes out

Introducing..Tyler my dawg!! Yep. He kinda had a random photoshoot today. Well it wasn't really a shoot. My sister, Sarell, just took the camera and took random shots of him! They're cutie patooties. :3

Photoraphy: Sarell Vicente

Post-processing: Andi Vicente

Y R U SUCH A CUTIE

Ty wants a tummy rub!!

 So I made it a habit to walk Tyler everyday and bike at least 2 rounds around our village. I got a tip for you, guise! If you hate jogging (like me) and you want to exercise just for the sake of being healthy, try brisk walking and biking! I swear it's good. :) I like feeling the wind rush against my face and just going around our neighborhood. I swear, I find it entertaining to just see people around and to observe what they're doing. 

I was already finished biking when I slowed down to just catch a glimpse of how wonderful the sky is. I love sunsets. It's really spectacular how the colors of the sky just mix up into a beautiful palette. Ah. Nature's wonders!

Being a kid

So my sister enrolled in the Kiddie Crew Workshop at McDonalds. It was their recogition day so I had to attend it because my mm was out and yeah. At first I thought it would be boring but when the program started, it became really fun and entertaining. I love kids. There was this little boy who was really cute and I took a lot of shots of him secretly. I think his parents know that I was taking shots of him so w/e. There was also this little girl named Julia who loves the camera and she's so cute when she makes a lot of funny faces. So anyway, here are some photos I'd like to share! :)

That's Julia. She's such a cutie

 The cute little boy! :3

It's "kid McDo." I hate the older McDo clown cause he's creepy..

That's my sister! :D

Sarell, Julia, and the sister of the cute little boy. :))

Mom it's your birthday~

Here's my first entry to my "photoblog" yaaay. So my mom just had her birthday today and we had a very simple celebration. Mom likes it simple and intimate so yeah. We had lunch outside since dad won't be home for dinner. Then the pictures below show mom's afternoon celebration.

I'm very thankful for my mother even if she annoys me sometimes. Thank you mom for being so wonderful. You're the greatest superhero I've met. :)
