General Santos City | Smena 8M | December 2008 | Kodak BWCN 400 |
We’ve spent our long holidays here in Baguio City, and in two hours we’ll be taking the bus back to Manila. Maybe next time we can dare drive? But for the mean time, we’re savoring our last two hours on this wonderful couch.

Having the Smena is a wonderful thing. I’ve had it for a year now, and I’ve only started warming up to it, and actually using it the “proper” way. But in my natural absent-mindedness, there are things that I do forget despite muscle memory and force of habit. Fortunately, not all accidents are ugly. Here are two of my lucky shots from the last roll of film:

Ok, so in a back post, I promised myself to send my sick Smena 8M to the HongKong Lomo shop where it was purchased. Turns out, it’s more complicated than I thought.
First of all, shipping! It’s gonna cost me 1200Php, which I’m not willing to shell out at this time because of our upcoming vacation.

during the crazy cebu pacific promo rush, nina, karl, jan and i booked cheap flights to laoag, wishing we can pull off pagudpud and vigan all in a weekend’s time on november. wish us luck, as all these thunderstorms are sending us off to daydreams of the beach. this year we’ve covered: anawangin (zambales), coron (palawan) and of course, the standard anilao (batangas). can’t wait for november!

For those who went ahead on their life’s adventure, we’ll follow soon! Tomorrow is another day, here in your old haunts, but it’s still cozy. Today is full of sentiment – a cousin is leaving tomorrow, and a friend is leaving on sunday. (I must be patient.) I feel so full of good hopes and wishes, that I feel like bursting, but at the same time, I’m a little worked up thinking ‘when is it my turn?’. Do wait for us. (♥ jessie)
