Goodbye SUMMER! see you soon!

Aj, Rj and I planned to go to Alcoy this summer so we did! and even though we just stayed for a night, we all enjoyed the beauty and fresh air of Alcoy... we even want to stay longer!

 Rj, wanted to do time lapse (wth the stars and the moon) but failed since it was raining! But every bad thing has it's beauty.. because it was raining, the presence of lighnting was there and they had fun capturing it. I got really scared!!!!!

 So then, RJ woke up really early to do the time lapse with Alcoy's sunrise and me, well, took some shots! I can't just not capture this beautiful sunrise!

 I live in the city since I was born. It was a very great sight for me seeing the fishermen preparing their sail to catch fishes even before the sun is up.. They have no bosses to please, no time to be conscious of, except, I dunno.. if what time they can have a good catch??? and seeing them enjoying of what they do, just gave me a huge sigh.. I mean, we sometimes make things very much complicated when life is just so simple.

 My stay wasn't really that great since when I woke up (or maybe a little later) I received a phone call from someone (family) informing me a very bad thing. haaaaay.. but anyway, there will always be a rainbow always after the rain.. all bad things will just eventually pass by..

Sands and sea waves on my feet ^_____^

Just did some cinematic effect on this photo ;)

GOODBYE SUMMER, SEE YOU SOON!!! ;)

pinch me, is this real?

before mama got in the picture.. I was doing some self portrait shots! I have been wanting to do those sillhouete-like photos but it didn’t turn out as planned.. instead, I came up with this!

A friend once asked me why do my face change in photos? does it? I really don't know why exactly but I came to think.. maybe because of the hair? I change them every now and then.. and I always play with my hair, you may not notice it because I do have tricks LOL kidding! or maybe it's because of the "photo concepts"... you see, I make it to a point that when I do take pictures, even self portraits, I always follow a certain theme and effect.. I always wanna achieve a certain mood to a photo set that's why organizing a shoot isn't that much easy because you have to fit all the team up! 

And maybe because I take shots.. well, not just because I need or have to have a new profile photo in FB sheeesh but to try out a concept and how I post process it in photoshop!

The photo above, I did put it first in the set because I myself can tell that I look different! haha I look like when I was in kindergarten (I looked for a photo that time wherein I look exactly like this!)

here you go! hahahaha

 Well, maybe the point is that I don't want same old photos again and again and again.. I want to present  a variety of concepts but still providing consistency in all photos, now that's the challenge!

 so here are the photos!!! been loving flower crowns lately! haahah :)

So there, I have been wanting to do pre-nups and weddings.. pre debuts too! Even want to help really with conceptualizing pre-nups and pre debuts.. Luckily I will have my first cover on a wedding at the end of the month and soon will have a pre-debut shoot! :) (been thanking God for the blessings)

Nothing in the world that I love, but to shoot.. I know it is kinda the "in thing" right now.. but if people get to fall out of love with photography, I'd still be in love with it. I even wanna marry it but just like relationships, I am still in the process of  deciding if me and photography are exclusively meant for each other! And by "exclusively", means making it as my ultimate profession... because I have been away for so long with my first love which is interior design.. Yes! I am torn between two lovers as of now..

 but oh well, that's for me to figure out!

Have a great day ahead! :*

Little Tokyo

Now this place amazed me.. It's like going to Tokyo in an instant! When you enter the place, there are a lot of  Japanese restaurant surrounding the area wherein you can dine in.. An outdoor space.. but you can also dine inside the restaurants - your choice!!

So I thought, isn't it great if like there will be a place like this wherein it will also be called.. "Little Venice", "Little Macau", "Little NY" etc.. haha

here are the shots I took.. enjoy!

 see? it is just like in Tokyo

 did some bokeh shots with the beautiful lights :)

 They are called paper/chinese lanterns used as light source

 the usage of much wood and a little of stone reflects the ambiance of Japan

and of course, some snap shots of their food

 this one is one of my faves!!! shark's fin..

So there, I did enjoyed a lot the food and the place!!! :)

the place is called

"LITTLE TOKYO"
