The best things in life come unexpected. 

I am now a believer of those words, especially when I scored this bag from Michaela at a practically-giving-it-away price of only Php499.

I was ecstatic about it, because the bag’s shape is my favorite (which would be obvious, if you read my past entries), plus the quality is great!

I used to ignore Michaela before, because their designs do not really speak to me, especially the gaudy hardware with unflattering logo plaques smack right dab in the middle of their bags. But this little one has put hope in me that maybe I might run into another awesome find in Michaela again.

Sunday.

TRAFFIC

Traffic.

I don’t know how I feel about traffic. On one end of my spectrum, I absolutely abhor it. On the other, I relish the time it provides me sitting idly in the car enjoying music from my favorite radio station.

I guess it will always boil down on who’s with me when I’m stuck in traffic. If I’m alone, then you can all be sure that I’d be seething mad inside the car, honking every now and then because of the slow movement of the cars in front of me.

But if I have friends with me, then traffic becomes a blur with the lively chatter and laughter. I can almost always see myself thanking that the traffic is there, because I’d have more time to laugh and talk.

On rare days, traffic becomes a way for me to see things in different angles. See the fusion of concrete, flora, and life bustling about the main avenues of Manila. Each with their own journey, each with their own end.

Working everyday can do a lot to a man. Slowly he will start to lose interest in things he normally looks forward to.

Getting out of a rut can be difficult, but all it needs is the drive to find something that excites you, no matter how small it is. 

I told myself before that I’d bring a camera everywhere I go, but that proved to be too tedious, and I was too lazy to whip it out of my bag to actually even use it. To keep me occupied during mundane days, I use my phone’s camera and capture ordinary things and apply all sorts of filters using my phone’s editor software.

Sounds a bit cheesy but it helps making the day as bad it actually is. Except of course, for my friends who are always there to share a laugh or two… but that’s another story.

MIDNIGHT FROLICS

Had a sudden trip to Cavite for a night of swimming with some of my officemates. It was so much fun! It was the first time I got to splash and frolic (heh) in the water since summer started.

I love these photos because there’s absolutely no pressure in trying to keep my camera safe from the water. The waterproof feature is really a godsend during these kinds of events.

EASTER MONDAY

After 4 days of nothing to see and do around the house, I went to Tagaytay Highlands earlier today. Even if it was for work, I enjoy going there because of the view. I never get tired of the view.

We arrived earlier than expected since there was no traffic in SLEX. We set up the place and waited for children to visit the model house.

HOT DAYS AND RAINY NIGHTS

After a year from this post, I went back to Tagaytay Highlands for another familiarization tour of the various facilities and projects of the premier luxury complex in Tagaytay.
