The Winds of August: A Diary

Rainy Day, A Perfect Story, and An Unplanned Trip – Second Week of August 2023

Last week, I decided to cut out sugar. I had been feeling some unpleasant symptoms already (HAHA gor na me! 🥹) and I was proud of myself for reaching seven days without it. I still ate rice, though, and drank coffee, but I didn’t add any sugar. I felt great after seven days! I had more energy, my skin cleared up, and I lost a few pounds. I’m going to continue cutting out sugar, and I’m excited to see how I feel in a few weeks.

Chilling in Bohol, but Dreaming of More

Imagine sleeping on top of a mountain without a tent.

My friends and I did just that when we went to BOHOL! We laid our exhausted bodies on a tarp, enveloped by the cold breeze until night came. The blanket of stars began to fill the sky above. As time went by, the sea of clouds woke us up early in the morning, just below us. It was one of the best views I have ever seen. We also witnessed the pink sunset over the Chocolate Hills and saw the beautiful landscapes of the Cadapdapan Rice Terraces. We also visited the astounding Can-umantad Falls, which presented marvels to our sights. Later that day, we also swam in the mystic Canawa Spring, whose depth is unknown to anyone. Those were the times my memories were etched in my mind, such unforgettable times in BOHOL. It was such an adventurous time that I told myself I had to go back. 🫡

Trying Out “I LOVE BUCKET SHRIMPS” in Mactan With Stunning Views of the Sea and Sunset

Sometimes, satisfying my cravings for food by buying and cooking it at home is not enough. I still yearn for a better place to savor the kind of meal I desired — a place which would awaken my senses, where I would watch the sun set on the horizon, view the sea, the clouds, the sky as it changes its colors; and then catch the sight of the moon and stars as they begin to show off their radiance, observe the boats pass by, hear the ocean waves as they splash against the seawall, smell the salty breeze of the ocean, feel the refreshing air as it caresses my skin and, of course, indulge myself the flavors of these savory food that I have been yearning for a long time. Dzibah, ang arte lang, haha 🤣🤣🤣

HOW I EDIT MY PHOTOS FOR THE GRAM

 

Sometimes I want to feel fancy, just like most girls. If I set aside my lazy ass and I am in the mood, I like to put make-up on my face, wear cute outfits and take photos of myself. I like to use my time as well by editing those snaps. I think it’s not about being vain but because I want my photos to reflect my creativity and artistry.

Sometimes raw photos are boring and problematic but added with filters and enhancements they channel different emotions and tones.Right? However, I don’t overdo my photos. I want them to look natural, if possible. So, here in my blog I’m showing you how I edit my photos to make them appear as natural as possible.
