"What's up 2015!"

Few more hours and it's 2015! I guess I had a very rough year, needless to say I had an awesome and very remarkable 2014 because I met a very unexpected bunch of people at work which I would forever consider as an experience I would never ever forget. 2014 surprised me a lot like a LOT, especially that I never imagined I would have this kind of work (well I can't say cause it's really private and confidential) and to give a hint you -- just imagine me as a SPY agent. Something like that! :) 

2014 made me a stronger and fiercer person, like  Dylan O'Brien who played as a "runner"in his movie The Maze Runner and how he never gave up the maze and that's me as a runner -- even though life is very much confusing, challenging and even tricky, I never gave up and found my ways to solve the puzzle of life and succeeded. So here are some photos (from my instagram account @sameiyoon) that I wanted to share with you guys, this is a part of what I called my "Unplanned Exciting Life". Happy 2015! 

JAN | 014
SNLG 2014 with my friends, and this was the first time my family allowed me to spend this day with em. We were walking all day at the streets watching some colorful parades, painted our faces, and sang our hearts out 'til the day ended.

FEB | 014
14th day of February, and every couple is preparing themselves for this but for us, we celebrated it as a day to sympathize all the SINGLES in the world. Kidding! Well, we're all single  and why not celebrate Valentine's day with your girl-friends right? A perfect place like La Vie Parisienne would suffice our major gossips (girls be like), a plate of sweets (girls eat a little on a date haha) and a glass of red wine to end the night with laughter (single girls' evil laughs?) and cheers. Viola!


Why women cut their hair short and the reason for this drastic change has always a story behind it. Mine? I just needed that kind of change. I've always had this very long hair, and it has always been my asset (LOL). For the record, I decided to cut my hair really really short because I wanted to let go of the things from the past and want to start a new chapter of my life simply by cutting my hair that short. People reacted at first, but yeah the only constant in the world is change and I just had to rock that change! I rocked that shawty. 

MAR | 014
A day well spent with my MASTERS.
(One of us wasn't there because she's in Mnl for work.)

A & S Collection back on track. It has always been my passion to do fun photoshoots with friends, and this really helped me on enhancing my photography skills specifically on the editing part. As for this, I wanted to get that vintage vibe. Achieved!


APR | 014
A very humid summer indeed. My mom and my lil bro spent their vacation with us here in the queen city of the south!

Photos show how hot that summer was!
 Perfect lighting for a picturesque kind of view.


MAY | 014
The last time I had my Mnl escapade was 15 years ago, so there I was feeling tourist-y for a day or two. 


JUNE | 014
My first month at work. A spy work, so let's keep this confidential, okay?


JUL | 014

My first VSCO-ing with my new phone.

With my fashion buddy for our next photoshoot plans at Coffee Bean $cent. Cozy and very light ambiance this coffee shop has. I don't drink coffee at all so I had a Tea instead. And also i tried out my macro, wide-angle and fisheye phone lenses. Cool!


SEP | 014
Oh I don't know about you but I'm feeling 22. Hello Swifties! I turned 22 and I don't feel like getting old. A pink balloon for the birthday girl who turned 16! (Nahhhhhh)

As a gift to myself, I had my Nikon D3200. The Maroon one is lalalove.


OCT | 014


Back to Mnl! I had fun lingering around and trying to map out (big thanks to google map) where I should go. And tbh, it was scary walking around the streets as if taga Manila ako. Whew, I survived! I went back to Mnl because of work btw.


NOV | 014
Busy busy at work. Missed this place since I transferred to another new office near the city. 


DEC | 014
My first driving attempt, and how my uncles bullied me while they taught me at the road. Yes very memorable bullying! 

Mission orders I've had on the field. 
*insert Mission Impossible song*

The most highlight of my year was welcoming this cutie patotie! My baby cousin and he's already 2 months and 15 days now I think. He's too cute not to notice!!


So I that's it, hello 2015.

"My first official blog!"

I've always wanted to start in blogging but I end up walang oras o 'di naman kaya busy. And if there's time naman, I don't feel like doing it kasi tinatamad ako. A bummer ika nga! But anyway, heto kina-career ko na because I've always wanted to voice out and let everyone hear my thoughts. Things that I do, stuffs that I like, and most especially yung mga bagay na mahal ko. Top on the list would be Fashion Photography, or anything to do behind those lens. 

I love taking pictures and make a story out of it. Mahilig ako kumilatis ng mga magagandang bagay, lugar, suot and even little things that aren't noticeable. With one click of my cam, napupuno yung feelings na gusto 'kong ilabas - that utter feeling only photographers know and it's hard to explain :) basta 'yun 'yun! 

I like fashion, I love photography so that makes me so addicted into Fashion Photography in between. I am not really into branded clothes, basta matched siya then you're good to go. I care less on expensive clothes, I'm on the comfort and durability of it. Whatever that is pleasing to my eyes, and comfortable ako with it then perfect na sa akin 'yun. I started collecting magazines, surfing the internet for OOTD inspirations through joining lookbook.nu it's a community of fashion bloggers/photographers, from the name itself "lookbook" well it showcases different updated styles in the world of fashion. What's fun about it is not only pinapakita mo your personality through your clothes, but you also get to meet new friends around the globe. That really made me inclined to it, to love more about the art of fashion and photography in separate and as a whole. 

So here's a glimpse of my quirky thoughts, and I hope I can maintain this "blogging" thing. 6 days from now, a new year will happily begin for us and I wish to share my 2015 with you through my blog. Happy holidays everyone! 

xoxo,
