An online diary I started when I was 16. I'm not 16 anymore but I still function like one.

Holiest of Holies

I know most of you won’t even have the time to read this blog entry since you’re most likely lounging on the beach and getting an awesome tan but since I am doing neither of those things, I’ve decided to grace you all with yet another set of photos that I shot with Jing Pascual. šŸ™‚

These are the last set of photos from this shoot that I will be sharing with you guys but I look forward to the next shoot that we are currently planning. My creative/ bored side has recently re-emerged and I’ve got a lot more artsy concepts that I will soon be showing you all on the blog so watch out for that but in the mean time, help yourselves to these wonderful photos.

I hope you all have an amazing Holy Week, one spent with family/ friends while keeping the true essence of the season in mind. As for me, I’m going to spend the long weekend planning shoots, working and spending it with my family. I really wouldn’t have it any other way ā¤

It’s Never Too Hot For Leather

11041745_10153574265171564_6672129228266309467_n

Ā Fine, I lied… it’sĀ alwaysĀ too hot for leather! But you gotta admit Cebu weather aside, if you don’t already own one, it is your life’s goal to actually own a leather jacket. Luckily for me, I was able to score one that isn’t too impossible to wear in this hot, hot city.

Here’s another set of photos I did with photographerĀ Jade CaballoĀ at the Temple of Leah. The trick with shooting at spots that may tend to get a little overrated is to try to find different angles or backdrops that others may not have thought of before. A wall, windows, even a pile of scrap metal is interesting if you just use your imagination!

I’m just so tired and when I’m tired I get depressed and when I’m depressed I start to question everything in my life and when I start to question everything, I realize how unhappy I can get and when I’m unhappy I start to become discontented; sarcastic; crabby and everyone knows I hate this version of Issa as much as the next person does.

I should sue One Direction for the emotional and physical workload they left upon me this weekend. Ugh. WHYYY DID I HAVE TO GO TO THAT CONCERTTTT??

Coke & Kimonos

2015-03-23 03.52.42 3Ā There are so many things I love about Summer like how the sun is always out, glaring cats in the background of my photos and that I get to wear pretty pieces of clothing like this full length kimono from Let’s Stylize. But almost always, it’s definitely got to be the summery trends that always give a new meaning to my very existence.

I feel like the world is working hand in hand to make all my boho dreams a reality. Kimonos, fringe (or are they tassels?), hats of all styles and braided sandals are all the trend and even if it’s going to cause a massive whole on my wallet I still couldn’t be happier!

What trends are you looking forward to this sunny season? Let me know in the comments! ā¤

Ā P.S. Decided to carry around a bottle of Coke to this shoot because it was impossible to stand under the heat of the sun without any refreshments. If you’re wondering where my straw hat went, I offered it to my yaya who was taking my outfit shots. She’s currently 5 months pregnant and I didn’t want to stress her out by making her stand under the heat of the sun with me. But it was perfect timing since Coke is always my go to drink during hot days and yummy meals! [P.S.S. This is not a Coke sponsored post!]

I’ve always found airports interesting. In my head I’m interviewing every single body I bump into.

“hey, where’re you going?”

To visit a loved one.

To explore.

To find myself.

To go home.

To find better opportunities.

To find love.

To forget love.

We’re all heading somewhere and I wish I knew all the reasons why we do.

— Manila. Casey, Cathy. To dance to semi hot, hopefully half naked men aka One Direction.
