When the leaves turn gold

I was actually happy i stayed a few weeks more than i planned
saw the leaves turned Gold

Ive been busy fixing our upcoming trip for Asia's Kite Season.

and i didn't realize that there were many things i still wanted to do and learn here in Sweden
Baking was one of them.

I successfully made Kanelbullar - Cinnamon Rolls today.


Lemon Squares a few days ago and Kyckling och Potatis Paj (Chicken and Potato Pie)

here's a photo of the pie i made


The kitchen space is very important to swedish people, it's actually nice because it makes you wanna use the kitchen all the time.

So yea it was so nice to prepare breakfast and clean up after :)


Here is Jens' a friend we met in Boracay, and now we are in his kitchen. He's making a wonderful dinner for us.

:)

HeartBeats and City Beats

It was a blast shooting around stockholm, we hit the bus and just went walking.

like Goteberg, the Architectural structures here are insanely amazing. making walking around so much better.

we also came across this flea market in some square in Soder.

cute little finds

It was a blast shooting around stockholm, we hit the bus and just went walking.

taking pics of interesting people i see on the streets.

we came across this flea market in some square in Soder.

this is the cutest of ALL!

last day in stockholm, going back to Goteberg tom aft.

had a blast hanging out with people that you've met in your former travels.

it is interesting to see how they are in their own hood.

well anyways, the city is great but yeah it's not for me, for now.

Am feeling kinda of down again, the weather i guess?

but hey, like someone said to me before,

Paula, it's not christmas everyday.

PS: today i am thinking if my new life decisions are for the good, but hey i don't wanna complain as i know that in general i am in a good place in my life. Today i found out that a friend's boyfriend died, and he has also been a good friend to me. It reminds me again that life is too short. To short to be filled with bitching, quarrels, stress and heartaches.

so go head out of the world and live without boundaries.

Be the best person that you can be and

remind the people you love that you do love them.

Rest in Peace George and Big Hugs to my girl Nisha. I Love You.

our way, everyday

little edit we did from Sweden.

This is how it is all day everyday.

PS: the liseberg footy is here too.

check it!

back to love.

When i was young i had a manual SLR minolta camera to play with
it was really expensive for me to shoot and play with the cost of film plus development

i am reflecting on the joy of having a digital SLR and a viewfinder.
Though nowadays being a photographer is so easy.
Before, you had to be one of those "talented" ones with an eye for it and the patience to match it.
in short you are a geek.

I remember buying a roll of film at ISO 100 for 30 shots would cost me 1 day school allowance and we go shoot with some friends around.
we need to be very prepared as we only have 1 roll each. after that we would have to go back to the dark room and develop it ourselves.

It took us 2-3 days 2 to do this.

So what am i saying?
Am saying yes i love taking pictures and doing video ( and then before i had a separate v8 cam to do video that is nothing as F*ck like compared to shooting video on 60D)
Am so glad am back on this after a while

it would still be fun to shoot in manual though - when it was all about craftsmanship and creativity - which is now simplified in an application called Photoshop
<3 <3 <3


here's a photo of my ass, taken by anton in their front door.

am enjoying the cold actually but not too much of it. ill be hanging out with some friends when i get to stockholm, it would be fun

Sweden is nice <3

CozyLand

Ive been in KakaLand or CozyLand as i wanna describe it better for two weeks now.

Sweden is nice country to be in, really. except for the weather, but as you can see the sunsets here are nice because of all the clouds and mountains that makes the shots more interesting than a bare blue sky.

Yesterday we went to a place in Gothenberg with a 2.0 sesitec, it reminded me of my home cable and realized how spoiled we are in the Philippines with the wake parks. not just CWC but also the others like DECA and the upcoming ones in Nuvali and Clark. The water was freezing but hey atleast i gave it a try. The other day i went kiting for like 30minutes, until i was underpowered and had to go back in.

I had to wear 2 wetsuits then i screamed so loud on my first crash, it's like diving into an ice freezer...brrr.

Our nights are filled with hanging out in the "safe" streets of sweden shooting, skating, eating chocolates, snus and just having fun with everyone.

i met this really cool kid, filip he's the bomb.

so many toys, and the ones that i like too.

cameras++

he operated his finger one night while anton filmed it and i was just watching getting a bit dizzy with all the blood.

this is filip here.

My shoulder and knee is not good for this kind of waters...

For now am enjoying the Mjolk, Chocolates and the cozyness of this country. Peace.

PS: the berries here are so dank!

godis + chokladkaka

ok so, sweden AKA Godis (candy) and Kaka (cake) land.

is not as bad as their weather is.

Went to Liseberg Theme Park which is so fun. (anton refused to give me a copy of the video footy so i dont have some here).

The kids here in Sweden are so dank.

It's like living in pleasantville and the kids can just be kids.

Plus the pizza is also nice. how can you imagine that peanuts and bananas are nice to have on your pizza? I never really liked pizza that much until now, you know that.

Anyways

The gang went kiting but i was freezing my ass out so am just always shooting, which is also cool but would really love to kite soon. ive been out of the water for almost 3 weeks i think?

I wish i have a 5,3 wetsuit. Now am wishing i took the White Trinity Full suit instead of the Jewel 2,5 shorty :(

o well, there's always a next time.

PS: it's not so bad to have a little less sun from time to time.

PSS: it was also nice to wear some shoes. i got a really nice pair that am gonna wear soonish here in the City. hihi

here are some pics i took here in Sweden..

Chasing Summer

there is a reason why i travel to chase summer.

today i got reminded again that i live with the sea, sun and sand.

sunshine gives me life <3

The weather is not so inviting.

its the in between.

no sun and no snow.

rain and grey

But hey this is summer in Sweden :)

i do loooove the candy here and Oboy and milk and butter and Maggan (Anton's Mom) makes really dank food. <3 so much love.

The boys went kiting and i stood there freezing and also jealous to be out of the water.

i am tonting around in anton's winter jacket, his jeans and sweater.

i look like am from TLC or something

then now i have a greater understanding on South Park and IKEA. lol

anyways here is my first Post from Sweden. I wish i can go to the store to buy some chocolates, some actual clothes for girls to wear in the cold and go to the theme park soon.

on the bright side of things. i passed through a field of sunflowers the other day and it was really nice. it would be dank if i can run around them and just lie down til the sun sets.

i had a dream about sunflower fields months ago, feels almost like deja vu.

like i was meant to be here.

Cheers from Summer in Sweden.
