Amidst the Darkness and Eerie Silence

This is what a cup of coffee and boredom does to me at 3 in the morning. I end up musing over thoughts whilst listening to Boyce Avenue’s cover of Daylight originally by Maroon 5. 

Ummm. I cant let one bad hair day knock me down. It shall pass. So I am casting all the bad vibes away and will just think of the good thoughts.

Here we go.

Saturday night, we’re enjoying our Milk tea’s before we called it a day when out of nowhere Px brought out the topic of a night swimming. It’s not as if people were going to cancel their scheduled plans just so they could come. We invited people. Yes. Yet, it all boiled down to us. To what and who were on the original plan. Just plus one.

Sitting and resting on the ground with the cold fine sand pressing against your back underneath the open skies. Trying to count as much star as possible and breathing a wish once in a while. Listening to the waves as they hit the shore and break the silence of the night. Roasting mallows over a bonfire (which I am not really a fan of). Sharing stories after stories about life. It’s the closest I could get for a camping trip. 

It was an endless night. 

It's like one of those movie scenes, we were the castaways on a deserted island (except we weren't... though i'd wish we were LOL). 

After a week of hanging out with PX, he had to go back to Manila that Sunday. I do miss him y'know. And that sleepover by the beach was something like a send off party (LOL). Something we wouldn't probably do for a very long time. I wonder when is the next one. It was a trip not intended to bring feelings back, mend broken hearts and relationships, strengthen bonds or create new ones but just to pass the time and to make the most out of PX's vacation. I, myself, just wanted to be some place where i can think. Half of the time i was on a headset listening to songs from my phone. Half of the time i was staring unto the the darkness and the lights at a distance.

Time indeed stood still.


Here I am waiting, I'll have to leave soon
Why am I holding on?
We knew this day would come, we knew it all along
How did it come so fast?


This is our last night but it's late
And I'm trying not to sleep
'Cause I know, when I wake
I will have to slip away



It's quite funny how the Daylight lyrics suited that night perfectly.


Me and Aj never had a proper picture together
 
  



And when the daylight comes I'll have to go 
But tonight I'm gonna hold you so close 
Cause in the daylight we'll be on our own 
But tonight I need to hold you so close 







(i noticed something. It's quite sad. Seriously.)

Cross processed through Life

I love tinkering the colors in photographs. Thanks to modern day technology i don't need a dark room or to expose the film a bit for me to be able to do it anymore although i'd love to try that out. i just need a laptop and a software. We were on a northbound trip heading to Pagudpud, Ilocos Norte one time and we had a blast taking photos here and there. I got some samples.
