I love color but i also love black..and white.

My life is in a rut right now.
I need something to cheer me up.
A trip to the beach perhaps.
Or how about a new hairstyle.
God, I need something to turn my life back around.
But I couldn't figure out what it is yet.
Quarter life crisis, is that you?

wearing:
Oversized stripe shirt - thrifted, PVC leggings - bought online, Black pumps - people r people

Some behind the scenes during an engagement shoot for one of our clients.
This was shot on location at Benito Ebuen Air Base a.k.a Mactan Air Base. We had a blast shooting in vintage planes and choppers of the Hukbong Himpapawid ng Pilipinas (Philippine Air Force). We even managed to sneak inside a war plane (i don't know what it's technically called) but decided to get out instantly coz it was kinda eerie and creepy I wonder if some soldier died in there.
I was amazed at how clean and organized the place was. There were houses of active and retired air force men and their families. I din't know that before till we toured the place.
I'd love to take my friends there and shoot a 50's or 60's themed era. Think polka dots, wooden trunks, gloves, fascinators. Ok maybe one of these days. :)

wearing:
Fuschia floral maxi dress - Bought online
Denim vest - thrifted
Tan shoulder bag - thrifted
Yellow wayfarer - Gaisano Countrymall bazaar

And oh btw, I was rummaging through my pc yesterday and found these pics of me and the boyfriend shot just for fun a little over a year ago. Yeah, that's the same dress. And yeah, we gained some weight. I guess getting old really disrupts one's metabolism. Gone are the days wherein I can put every single food in my mouth without gaining a single pound. Got to swim those laps!

The rainy season has started to kick in but that didn't stop us from enjoying  the glorious beach as if it was summer all over again. 

A million apologies to Emely for inadvertently not including her in the previous set of photos. That's her in the last photo. She was kind and gracious enough to prepare our sumptuous lunch as always. 

And I'd like to say THANK YOU to all of you lovelies for all the sweet comments and encouragements in my last post. You guys surely made my day. :)

Nothing beats celebrating Independence Day in the company of your bestest friends in the exclusivity of an isolated 100-square meter islet with the bluest of blue ocean surrounding its four corners. No cellphone calls, no car horns blowing in the distance, no loud beach-goers, only the freshest salty air and the tranquility that one longs for.

Horray for independence and welcome to Isla Romantica.
