life lately

Hey ho! It’s ya girl Andy G and I’m back! I’ve been dying to go back to blogging but every time I try to, I fail. It’s probably because I get too pressured to come back and this time with my own domain, all polished and really LEGIT looking. But what the heck, whatever. I’d have to just make do with what I have. I just really miss the ~diary style~ blogging and some of my friends reached out to me that they miss it too. I recently visited my old tumblr and I had a load of fun laughing and “aww!”-ing at my own posts. I guess I miss documenting my life too. So here it is! My first attempt at going back to documenting my life. No pressure. Just a lot of stories and photos.

I just recently launched an online shop! It’s full of thrifted, hand-me-downs & pre-loved clothes. I’ve been meaning to do this too for the longest time and now that I have all the time in the world (icymi, I graduated last April and I’ve been bumming around ever since) I finally worked on it! I really like thrifting and sometimes I tend to hoard a lot so this is my way of cleaning my closet. It’s also where I get to practice taking photos, styling and making collages. Everything’s cheap and no item is more than 350 pesos so if you wanna cop some dainty lookin’ clothes, check out Fad Folly’s No.1 Collection at IG @fadfolly! I plan to change themes every collection so watch out. Heehee. This is also a sort of ~practice~ for me as I’m planning something bigger, something I’ve always dreamed about.

Besides launching an online shop, above are some photos of what I’ve been up to from the month of September.

 Chasing sunsets and hanging at rooftops. That’s me with my automatic film camera that Jimbo got me for my birthday! He also owns one now so whenever we travel, he’d have a camera with him too. I just started using film back in March I think! And I couldn’t be happier. As far as I can remember, I’ve also been wanting to try film photography. AND oooh lala, writing this post is making me feel giddy inside. Apparently, I’ve been slowly doing what I’ve been dying to do. Guess being unemployed is doing me gooood.

Daz me hanging out with strangers! JK! That’s my high school barkada. SO last April my family threw me a celebratory party because I graduated and none of these fucks went. And of course that saddened me! I was mad at them, especially those who committed but flaked out. (that’s why I keep referring to them as strangers) So they were scared to invite me for Rommel’s despedida. LOL. But being the good friend that I am, of course I had to see Rommel before he leaves for New Zealand. Everyone was apologizing when I came. But iz all goooood. I love them. And oh, this was such a fun night. Made us realize how old we were getting too. Half of us are graduates already, some are starting work soon.

For the last four photos I really don’t have much kwento. Those are just some stuff I ordered from Sephora because I’ve been dying to try Mario Badescu’s Rose Water, a trip to the thrift shop, Jimbo after playing a set at 12 Monkeys and a photo of a sunset.

This month I also got to, finally, hang out with Jasmine! I fucking love this girl and I missed her so much. She was away for, I’m not really sure, 3 months? For her OJT and I’m really glad she’s back. Although she’s less fun now because she’s serious with school. JK. Get that diploma girlfriend! Last year we spent a lotttaaa time together when we were both single and we mostly just reminisced about the good ol days. (Not saying I miss being single, I love my bebeshka, I’m super fucking in love if you can’t tell)

This month, I also got to visit Bicol for the first time. (TY Ballecer & Alarde family! TY Sud!) For this trip I only brought my Pentax k2 and my automatic film camera, and mostly used my phone for taking videos. I’ve decided to just bring my film cameras whenever I travel because the last time I travelled, I had my Pentax k2, Nikon d5100 and a mirrorless camera with me and boooooooooy was it exhausting! Jimbo and I spent a lot of time switching cameras and taking photos and I must admit, it was pretty tiring. So I thought, why not get rid of my slr whenever I travel and just use my phone (since I like posting right away) and my film cameras so I can enjoy the moment? Heehee

I’ve also really been enjoying creating short films about my day, or in this case, our trip to Bicol. The idea of creating short films has always been in my head but filming with my camera and editing with premiere was too much work for me! So I’m glad that I found apps that really worked for me. I received a lot of questions regarding those so for everyone asking, I’ve been using the apps 8MM and InShot for my videos!

OKAY going back to our Bicol trip, it was pretty chill. The last time we were all together for a trip was in July for Kohl and I’s birthday and that vacation was preeettty hectic. Lotsa touristy stuff. But this one, we mostly just hung out. We ate a lot of good food, drink, listened to Sud play the guitar while everyone else sang along, and oh, we finally surfed again! BUT MAN, I’ve tried surfing several times and this one was the most exhausting. Besides the fact that it was the 2nd day of my period, it was a day before the storm hit so the waves were crazy strong. I was so tired I had to stop even though I had 15 minutes left. We also played a lot of Secret Hitler (a board game you should definitely check out!) and when I say a lot I mean A LOT. We stayed up ‘til 3AM playing (which meant we couldn’t wake up to surf the next day). Jimbo and I got the board game a month ago I think and we couldn’t be any happier that we finally got to use it! It’s such a good game and I’m such a good player. HAHAHA. But no, seriously, I’m good.

We ended our trip hanging out around the empty beach watching the beautiful pink sunset. We even caught a glimpse of a few lightning strikes from the horizon as our afternoon descended into night. It was all sorts of colorful lovelies.

I’ve also been bugging my boyfriend to take photos of my outfits whenever we’d go out! So here are two of my outfits from last week! First one we just went thrifting (naka aura pa ako, ang arte ko) and the second one we went to UP Town to buy some stuff before we travelled to Bicol!

So yup, that’s all. That’s a lot of kwento. I just really missed doing this.

Hope you enjoyed reading this really lengthy post!

Answer the questions for Star Trek Voyager, Janeway x Seven, Tom Paris, if you like^^

okay this is gonna be a lot to write but i need to be distracted so thanks

voyager as a whole

Favorite character: Seven

Least Favorite character: Chakotay

5 Favorite ships (canon or non-canon): tom/b’elanna, doc/seven, janeway/chakotay, janeway/seven, tom/haryy

Character I find most attractive: janeway & b’elanna equally

Character I would marry: ...tom is a really good husband

Character I would be best friends with: oh neelix & doc probably

A random thought: the voyager theme music is the most beautiful music in existence

An unpopular opinion: apparently this is an unpopular opinion in trek fandom but uh, i fucking love and adore star trek voyager. also i don’t hate neelix, chakotay or harry. they’re a part of the family and i like ‘em

My canon OTP: tom/b’elanna

Non-canon OTP: janeway/seven

Most badass character: janeway but they’re all pretty badass

Pairing I am not a fan of: seven/chakotay but only because of how it was handled, not the concept itself

Character I feel the writers screwed up (in one way or another): several fuck ups were made regarding chakotay, mostly in a racial sense. the history behind all that is a lot to get into. basically they really did wanna portray a native american good but the guy they got their native american info from turned out to be a con artist so thats a bad start. then theres the  native american stereotypes thing (tvtropes goes into it) which is a bit eye rolly at times. also that episode “tattoo”’s premise is genuinely offensive. on the bright side, as lame as chakotay’s writing could be sometimes, i like think... i like to hope that in the 90s some little native american trekkie kids saw chakotay on tv and that made them feel good (even if their parents were cringing at the ~let me tell you the ways of my people~ stuff). cuz native american characters are seriously the rarest thing on tv. i swear they’re the least represented people in media

Favourite friendship: doc & seven

janeway/seven

when or if I started shipping it: i think it was a few years ago thanks to seeing some stuff about it on tumblr. hadn’t occurred to me before

my thoughts: they really do have a remarkable bond. it’s one of my favourite relationships in the show (helps that seven & janeway are two of my fave women in sci-fi ever) and man, i know janeway has a mother-figure relationship with most of her crew, including seven, but i do understand seeing it in a romantic and/or loving way. romance aside, they do genuinely love each other. janeway’s guidance and friendship is so important to seven and her character growth. and seven is one of the three people janeway cares about most. tuvok, chakotay, seven. note how they’re the three people future janeway changed the timeline for. in that episode future janeway practically says she loves seven

What makes me happy about them: uhm, all of the above? and more, because i love them both so much

What makes me sad about them: the 1990s were COWARDS (aka that they didn’t just go for it and let them be a couple. side note: kate mulgrew was/is totally on board with the idea of janeway/seven)

Things done in fanfic that annoys me: i’ve not read much so eh

Things I look for in fanfic: again i don’t read much trek fanfic

My kinks: uhm, i have this thing where i’m not good at sexualising characters from star trek next gen and star trek voyager

Who I’d be comfortable them ending up with, if not each other: doc for seven and chakotay for janeway (janeway/seven/chakotay = OT3)

My happily ever after for them: janeway and seven (and chakotay) are living happily together in a nice house in san fran. they’re close to the water. they have a strawberry garden and lotsa red setters

tom paris

How I feel about this character: i really like tom and i always loved his character growth/arc. how he started as a cynical ex-con and he ended up uber dorky, jack-of-all-trades, great husband & father. i know some of this was due to writing retries. tom started as a roguish womanizer but due to his actor’s portrayal they made him more wholesome. but like still, voyager made his life so much better and its wonderful. and he’s so good to b’elanna. like, oh my gosh, they’re wonderful together

All the people I ship romantically with this character: b’elanna, harry

My non-romantic OTP for this character: hmmm i like his friendships with everybody. i’m gonna say tom and tuvok even tho it’s not my fave (i dunno my fave) because i recently saw the ep where tom asks tuvok for father advice and it was presh

My unpopular opinion about this character: i dunno popular opinions about tom. and everybody seems to like ‘em (even chuck sfdebris whom tears voyager to shreds for a living, just praises tom endlessly)

One thing I wish would happen / had happened with this character in canon: [shrugs]

My OTP: tom/b’elanna

My OT3: i never thought about it before now but the logical conclusion is tom/b’elanna/harry
