Falling in the cracks of society.

Given a different circumstance, life wouldn’t have been that way for you. Chinese as a language barrier, was ironically, able to make us more human and derive a honest conversation. As I start another chapter of teaching this semester, i’d like to dedicate this batch to you. A sweet and beautiful stranger who shifted my perspective.

First day of summer classes today.

Kindness goes a long way.

Using black and white films is a challenge.

The number 1 choice.

Time stops for no one. Temporary break from this fast paced society.

At this point in time. All that matters is how glorious nature is.

Helloooooo summer break. Thank God classes are done. This seems like the hardest semester of this MA program. I pray that I pass the exams and hopefully pass Econometrics. Blessed to have: Majo tutor me, Jody as my research partner, Jaena as the Environmental Goddess and Francine as my study buddy. Wouldn’t have been mentally sane without them. Now, time for more work! 

Embracing fear and unfamiliarity with open arms.

Knowing yourself is being with your camera at a foreign place.

Cramming paper presentation for tomorrow with my ex-students as study buddies. Bumped into www.justmeandthesea.tumblr.com.

“I bare my skin and I count my sins”

Taking a relatively long academic break after that third exam. Finished reading “Watchmen”.

Time to land once again and face whats inevitable. Presentation, paper, 3 homeworks and finals. Such a short time left for things unfinished. 

Of rituals and traditions.
