Little Bundle of Contradictions~

threecheersforfiveyears:

I was deeply inspired by this amazing photographer and her beautiful photographs. Perhaps, the fact that she’s a known film photographer lured me into admiring her photographs even more. At present, when most people prefer digital over film, it’s fascinating and definitely inspiring how someone like her managed to rise above the rest. 

I hope that I will be as good as her someday. That someday, I will be able to give someone that certain feeling that even if he’s just looking at my photographs, it is as if he’s at that exact moment that particular photograph was taken. That kind of familiarity, that level of placeness. And I do not need to use a DSLR to achieve that.

Aleyn Comprendio’s works have been the primary inspiration for this shoot entitled, Until You Find Me. A shoot I did with the beautiful, Miss Cherryl of http://cherrylisraindrops.tumblr.com/. I’m glad that despite the gloomy weather yesterday afternoon, the shots turned out okay. Everything we did yesterday (including crossing that dangerous looking makeshift bridge) was definitely worth it. I’m looking forward into having photoshoots like this in the future. The shoots that give you a nice feeling afterwards, something like that.

That fun shoot yesterday would not been that splendid if not for these ladies’ charming amiable air. I really enjoyed every moment of that shoot. I hope really that photos will turn out good, if not artistically beautiful. I have no idea how the output will be since Paula used a film SLR. A Nikon F55 to be exact. Stoked for the outcome, obviously! <3

Recalling my meet-up with Glenn (with his cousin Ezra), Ishel, April, Kash, and Jan means still feeling a little bit ambiguous yet overwhelmingly dreamlike. Meeting them was surreal. 

I came almost uninvited yet I had no remorse for going. Because of that I was able to maximize to the greatest extent the chance of staring to Glenn. It was always fun to see uneasiness in his eyes, a discomfort that changed to pleasure as we recognized and appreciated each other’s presence.  I hoped he did not take it negatively, though.

The quiet, reserved and pretty April was also there. Her smile is so contagious I automatically smiled back every time she looked at me. While Kash was my source of comfort. When a joke popped on my mind I was not very shy to tell it to her because I knew she would laugh even if it sounded so silly. She is that adorable.

Ishel was the modelesque one that registered unfamiliarity in me, I had not followed her yet before the meetup but it was an inciting circumstance to see her too. Whereas Jan has this very cute and admirable accent we (Kash, April and I) kept on mimicking every single time. And he was a good reminder of my age too, kasi he kept on calling me ate which was by the way sort of funny.

We (April, Kash, Glenn and I) welcomed the sunset of that March 8 locked inside the ferris wheel, which is by the way worth noting because it was my first time. I photographed each of them doing my best effort to capture this moment in a freeze frames.  I could not think of any thing that could make it more memorable.

I was more than glad that everything went all peachy. I hope more kind of these people will come my way. I actually kind of sort of miss them. I get attached to people way too easily.  I am grateful to Tumblr, nonetheless.

fourtrackmind - Pawnee’s taste to art and music proved her undeniable creativity and artistry rolled into her amiable personality. She is such a talented kittycat that if she’d say that her hands have magic, I would definitely believe her and maybe snatch it from her. We never had the chance to talk though I’ve seen her once or twice. She’s a former schoolmate of mine, too.

camillesioco - A gorgeous woman with a humble heart. Camille’s blog reflects her elegance and passion for fashion. Her congenial attitude won the hearts of the many including mine. 

aioeablogs - April’s simplicity and sensibility always please my minimalistic taste, including her love for cats. All her posts are surreal and true. I also like all her vintage-related personal photos to the point that I want it to be my own. :) I also wanna cuddle her Tabby cause she’s the cutest! 

pseudoperfection - Glenn bleeds poetry. His simplest prose conjures up familiar imagery to me in an enigmatic way. His personality warms my heart while his photographs never fail to amaze me. I’ve known him from a group of talented people during friendster days and have founded a good friendship with him from that point on. They were instances that we had a petty fight but it never made me less like him. 

loveisdelirium - Lovely as her name suggests. Her blog is everything raw and straightforward. After rereading her posts, I could say that she is such a go-getter herself and certain with what she wants. Her scallywag proved how likeable someone could be without being hardcore kind. Her personal photos (though she seldom posts) are also some of the few that I really dig.

rheagulafo - Rhea is one of the youngsters that follows me. She is a fashion enthusiast and a very cute lass. Her blog is very entertaining and she knew a lot of online shop that made me conclude that she stays 25hrs in the www. I also like her shoe preference.

ilovekashilario - This is a no-nonsense blog - from Kash’s personal posts up to random finds and links in the internet - constituting all the snippets of her personality that reveals how adorable and admirable she is. I must admit that its rare to find such a sweet person as genuine as her.

chocomustaches - Elisha is 14 and she got the taste. Her blog is so womanlike with an innocent twist. Its all neat and purdy and inspiring. Her banner is the cutest! :)

If you have any objection, my askbox is open for appeals.

I am going to start the first Ber-month by charming it through saying a sweet hello to you September (though you responded with rain shower) and by sharing my own “list of beauty”/blogroll (because in my belief these are blogs own by some of the nicest persons in tumblr) which I wholeheartedly enjoy reading and dropping by almost all the time.

From all forms of poetry to valid rants: pseudoperfection, carafunk, portiapie, thiskidlovesvintage, ilovekashilario, talesoftheotherguy, fluxxe, to photography and artistic stains: mynameisobel,  lovelyasadream, fourtrackmind,  floralpastels, ksmeanswhat, vinquilop, anabelledizon, inevitably, omghee, thecoffeejunkie,  kaththecrapout, micahdelrosario, to fashion savviness and their exquisite presentation: fiamette, camillesioco, helgaholic,  patriciaprieto, up to the inspirational: aioea, porcupineckties, sahayala, gangbadoy, zj3d, and humorous ones: salbehe, dearbakla, tumblrisforlulz.

They all never fail to amaze me (and make me stay a little longer than I plan) when I open their sites! <3 Evidently, they are coming from a very wide scope of categories, you can imagine my being bipolar showing in my dash. But still if you have any recommendations of more blogs to visit, don’t be too shy to ask away.
