Life is gooood

I' ve been saving up money for months now. And I've been sowing seeds, and just praying hard to get a new Canon 50mm 1.4. 

After all the hard work and not-spent money, and a harvest here and there, I finally saved up enough to pay for half of it! See, I had this deal with my Dad; I'll come up with half of the money, and he'll pay for the other half. And it just so happens that my Dad was going to Hong Kong for his Staff out-of-the-country trip. IT WAS PERFECT!!

So I gave him the cash, and just prayed that there would be a more agreeable price in Hong Kong, so that my Dad would definitely have to get it. Lol!

Anyway! Later in the day of their departure, my Dad called me up just to make sure he was getting the right type. And he said that it was cheaper there!! I WAS SO HAPPY!!!!!

3 days later, they came back home and... Drum roll please...

Hello Beautiful.

UNBOXING (cause I see people on YouTube do this. Lol)

Mandatory shots of my babies:

The next day, I did a little mini photo-shoot with chico because he deserves it.

Ugh the bokeh is just amaazing

LOOK A THAT FACE.

Noms

:>

The lens is just what I hoped it would be. I'm itching to do a photoshoot now!!! 

I'm just so happy, and God is just so amazing I can't thank Him enough. My Dad too <3 I love you Daddy!

Mint!

I haven't told you guys this, but I'm finally going to school!!!

I'm going to Mint, short for Meridian International. It's a Business, Arts, & Technology College.

They were on the news one day and my Mum looked them up, turns out they had an online test and I took it. The next day, they e-mailed me saying I passed the test. Its insane! I'm sooo happy!!

I looked through their site probably a thousand times, soaking it all in. It wasn't until I went to the school itself that I finally believed it. It was then that I applied for a scholarship. I would've given them my credentials if I had them, but since I was home schooled it was a little complicated. So I gave them my art. 

I showed them my magazine articles, and my cover pages. They were very impressed with my work, and they said that it was my edge. My selling point. And that they'd fight for me infront of the board. I felt so warm and fuzzy inside. And a few weeks ago, I got the call and they said they granted my scholarship application. I'm so stoked! (yii naks scholar)

The facilities were amazing, its so brilliant, and bright, and modern. And I love the fact that the classrooms are all well lit by huge clear windows. I'm in awe, and inspired. And just can't wait to go.

I'm taking New Media Arts, if you're wondering. Its basically a mix of Photography, 3D Animation, Digital Art, Digital Entertainment, Web design etc. 

And to top this all off: Each student gets a standard issue iPad 2.

Droooling yet? heh.

I'm just so thankful to God for giving me this opportunity. I basically skimmed through that test all panicked and scared and yet I passed. I believe this is His will for me and I'm willingly choosing this path. And when I got the call for the scholarship, right before the call I was so down and crying and just really sad (don't ask), and just praying I'd get that scholarship soon, I got the call and my tears of sadness turned into tears of joy. I was so ecstatic and God just gives the best "its okay" hugs ever. Its just such an answered prayer, and in a matter of minutes!

Now all I have to do is enroll and school starts November. I'm so excited!!!

Wander Away: Bye bye Bicol

Just a ton more airplane shots. Lol enjoy.

Wander Away: Bicol Day 2!

On our second day in Bicol, we went to a conference in Tabaco and then visited the Mayon volcano and went to the rest house there, and it had a planetarium there too. Sucks that it wasn't open! I was so ready to go see stars and stuff. But no. The universe didn't intend it to be so.

At night we went to embarcador mall again to have our last dinner in Bicol. I love, love, love that mall. Srs.

WPS!

Drummer Boy Pie

Its not at all Christmas related. Its our Youth Leader's birthday and he happens to be a drummer and an avid lover of my pie. So I made him a Drummer Boy pie:

I was so sad when the pie came out. The design was all covered up by the sauce. And I worked  so hard on it! You can still see it but you'll have to really stare at it and that wasn't what I was going for.

Oh well. But my guitar one was pretty awesome :

I baked this beaut on my guitarist friend's birthday.

We're having a surprise birthday party for him tomorrow. Its gonna be super epic. I'm beyond excited!

MORE PIE PHOTOS!

That's all for today!

 

DAYS TILL CHRISTMAS!!

 

Happy Saturday!~
