I went to church today. After the worship service, we went to the mall. It’s still Ramadan, so some stores were still closed. And because we still can’t eat in public, I just took a lot of photos so I won’t be too bored.


So sad. I was only able to decently take 3 pictures.
I’ve been liking the way I shoot and process my photos, though! Yay! But there’s still a lot of room for improvements. I like playing with colors. I also miss using Moonchul (my film SLR)
Like what I said before, I like using Tumblr when I upload pictures. Here are some of the pictures that I posted on Tumblr





I really don’t have anything else to say. So…
If a picture paints a thousand words, then this post has 9137 words.
Hi, I'm Chiui dela Cruz. I like books, Korean music, Asian languages, cat GIFs, the internet, pasta, lettuce, the smell of coffee and plastic (a.k.a the smell of airplanes), thrift stores, hipster jokes, and coolness.

I love pasta.
You took amazing photos. I like the colors of them – they looks sort of vintage.
I love the beach photos the best.

I really like your pictures!

I’m shy as well but sometimes I have to come out of that shell… I push myself to do so because I feel like I might be living my life inside a shell and I don’t want that. I want to really LIVE and meet people… maybe even change a few people’s life along the way… and if a smile at a person who’s feeling down while eating McDonalds does it then so be it.

Thank you!
Ooh, I don’t know how old you are, but if you don’t work at a young age, it’s a pain in the ass getting a job in the future. Seriously. Well… I learned that the hard way. How long is your vacation? XD
I love the pictures! I like how the editing was very simple and natural. Also, EGAD. This was the longest blog I have ever read in my life.
LOL I can only imagine reading a blog with 9137 words. I won’t even get 1/4 of the way done.

I LOVE THE PICTURES. Wow, those are amazing. (: Do you put a filter on them or something? And do you have one of those pro cameras? With the fancy lens options and stuff?
Because I love those. AMAZING. I wish I could be that good at photography.l I have a lot of friends who are good in it. I don’t want to ask my parents for my own camera though, they don’t think I carry the potential to do that sort of stuff. And when it comes to pictures my mom just likes posing people. She thinks its stupid to take pictures of inanimate things. I see a lot of value in it though

Yeah, I still talk to Noodles. Things have been getting better. I feel comfortable calling him one of my friends now. Although I’m still trying to keep my distance. I don’t want to risk getting too close and letting him get his hopes up again.
Who knows if he is using me as a replacement? He has some serious girl issues. He crushes on any girl he gets to know (he crushed on my best friend for some time) Yeah, he needs to learn more about himself O.o I learned a lot from this and I can only hope he has too.
Gracias por tus hugs. (:

Oh man! I know Ramadan can be really tough, but I live in Canada so the stores don’t really open or close according to it. I love food and Ramadan is really hard for me
I don’t have to do it these days because I recently got my tonsils removed, and not eating and drinking would be really bad for them. 


Anyways, I love the pictures that you took! They look like they’ve been taken by a professional photographer
They have that vintage effect to them & I love it! My favourite one is the freror roche picture! It’s so pretty the way you took it! I love all the pictures but that one is my fave!
People like you really make me want to be able to take really good photos! Like you do, and photographers do
