Pieces


This summer, my family and I travelled to Italy. I left Manila feeling like I didn't want to leave at all, but I came back wondering why it took me so long to experience that kind of a trip. I felt different when I got back. The good kind of different, I'd hope. This sudden urge to become an accomplished teenager grew in me, and I suddenly have this goal to just make something out of myself and to just do something important and substantial already. I want my future self to justify these experiences, you know? I travel and I realize I can't be idle. I step out of my comfort zone and I realize that there is still so much for me to learn. There's a whole world out there and it's asking me to come visit. Can't wait.

Indeed! And I wish you more travel adventures (both literally and figuratively). I have become a fan ever since I saw your photos from Kamiseta's accessories. I instantly admired your photography and all the more I was happy that your blog was provided in the photo credits. I'm glad that you are posting more :) I love the subtle elegance story and elegant angles of your photos. Please don't stop blogging :)

Have a great day ahead!

STELLA! I looked at your first two photos and thought "ITALY!" I was there for a little over a week last May, and how I miss it... especially that school is starting up and I want to be free to walk and travel and photograph and eat gelato. Ah well. Your pictures made me super happy and reminded me of how blessed I was to be able to visit such a fantastic country.
