Our first trip as husband and wife, hello Boracay, we meet again! A few days of relaxation and fun activities, we spent our honeymoon at Boracay Station 1’s Mövenpick and Shangri-La.
The Wedding Party 💖
We had lots of fun during our wedding reception, big thanks to Admiral Hotel Manila for the amazing food and wonderful service, and of course to our wedding coordinator Events by Dana D for the exciting program and excellent hosting ✨
Just Married!!! 🥰
If you’re wondering why there are no new posts in the blog lately, that’s because I’ve been quite busy with wedding preparations! We got engaged last December 2022 and with just around 7 months of preparation, we said “I do” this July ❤️
Owakudani Volcanic Valley
Owakudani (Great Boiling Valley) was created as a result of the explosion of the Hakone-yama (Hakone volcano) thousands of years ago. Being a volcanic valley, this is also the reason why Hakone is known for its hotsprings!
Little Prince Museum, Hakone!
The Little Prince Museum in Hakone is the world’s first museum dedicated to the classic novel The Little Prince. It was opened in 1999 to commemorate the 100th birthday of the novel’s author, Antoine de Saint-Exupéry.
Boracay on Film
Sharing with you my first shots on my Konica Auto S using Kodak ColorPlus 200 film. The focus in most shots is a little bit off but we learn from our mistakes, I guess.
My First Film Camera!
There’s just something about film photography that makes the photos extra special. Patiently waiting for your prints and scans without knowing how the actual photos look creates an element of surprise. And in today’s world where everything is available in an instant, waiting for a film to be processed/developed is somehow liberating.
My Coffee Corner!
With the work-from-home setup, getting a great cup of coffee isn’t as convenient as before. We don’t really have a lot of options unlike the countless coffee shops surrounding office buildings. And for me, coffee is a need — a necessity 🤪
Twenty Twenty One
I can’t come up with a proper post title since 2021 was a rollercoaster kind of a year. There were lots of happy moments but my family and I also experienced crucial health situations and even faced a significant loss. Nevertheless, I’m grateful that we are ending this year on a happy note.
Officially a Certified Freediver!
With so little preparation due to lockdowns and the pandemic, I’m so happy and relieved that I was able to achieve Molchanovs’ Wave 1 requirements and am now officially a certified freediver!
