journey series: stop over numero uno

morning i arrived from LA flight. i think it took about 15 hours to get there including the refueling in guam! 

stop over number one is at it's last leg. i always wish at the last minute that i don't have to leave...
three days left 'til australia, hope i can leave monday night!

(more updates coming, just taking a while to load photos, and... still no charger!)

journey series: never ending stalls

always one of my fave stops in manila. .. divisoria!
just bought a few things yesterday, it was really difficult holding myself back with purchasing so many adorable items, i'm kinda glad that i did pretty well i'd say. it felt like i just earned a badge for a new shopping skill. felt good to be honest, not to buy on impulse in a place like divisoria. ah!

one of the last hurrahs.

turning of the year, party rock, tootootootootootooroo!

so, my charger broke, that's the second one, so i'm gonna have to purchase a new one so i can work on my computer and upload photos from my camera.. (yea, i finally bought one!) i only have 30 mins. of battery life, and i need to conserve, so until then, i'll be posting photos from before Manila. (better late than never!) please bear with me!!! i want to share photos just as bad!

above is a photo of my brother, my dad, and i at the NYE's party with family. yea, i threw on a sparkly dress from my mom's closet! compared to last year's holiday shindigs, my outfits for this past christmas and new year's have been appropriately festive.

cheers!

journey series: on the road.

and we're off to see the wizard, the wonderful wizard of oz.

strange words, but completely applies.
and i just suddenly thought of lawrence fishburne saying to keanu reeves: "do you take the red pill? or the blue pill?", fave!

connecting the dots in my head (even though it'll be completely off to most, if not, --all!)

follow the white rabbit down the rabbit hole, much like alice, and much like dorothy down to.. well, Oz.

how proper.

i'd say there was no better day to leave. nothing could've prepared me for this journey, not a year, not two, or any amount of time would do. but to leave the first of the new year, was a very bittersweet goodbye.

at LAX, don't judge, it was a long day full of packing, tears, and bittersweet goodbyes!

signing out 'til my next post :)
good morning from Manila!

first for 2012!

hello 2012. leap year. big jump for this dragon baby!

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
