Conversations on Style, Writing, Travel, Photography and everything else that makes Life amazingly beautiful. Online journal of Sasha Manuel.
A quick record of initial impressions on what lies ahead. Curious that sentiments are a touch lethargic and pedestrian, taking in circumstances that are extraordinary and somewhat reflective of a charmed life, I find myself disoriented. Mind over matter, I tell myself. It’s not that the luster’s lost nor that the high it brings has [...]
If you spend too much time looking up, imagining how it must feel like to be up there instead of where you are, I’d have you know that someone up there is looking down wondering the same thing, only in reverse. It’s funny how surreal an experience can be for an unsuspecting dreamer. Yes, sometimes, [...]
That’s what makes life a whole lot more interesting. Expecting that currents do run deep, tides indeed change, ripples turn into waves then back into ripples again and that it’s not sunny everyday. We even know that the sun doesn’t rise nor set at the same exact moment each day. Nothing is constant save change. [...]
Patience has been my Achilles’ heel. But time and time again, circumstances have prodded me to see the value of this virtue. Dreams have played a major part in keeping the strength for I find that the latter is indeed vital to see them materialise. Patience coupled with hard work will always bring you closer [...]
Don’t you ever wish you can stretch yourself further than what you’re capable of? I have. Several times and more. I even sometimes wish that there’s two of me. Though, I know that is already reaching. Stretch, yes. Cloning, no. Hehe. I’ve been using a Canon Rebel XTi 400D since February 2007 and an HP [...]
“I’M SIGNIFICANT! … Screamed the dust speck.” — Calvin Life can be utterly and taxing-ly overwhelming. I’m barely halfway through the entire length of it yet I’m already tired, aren’t you? It’s all the falling, the detours, and the countless disheartening wrong turns. Lost and just about ready to throw in the towel. Yes, quit [...]
A perennial note-taker, an avid journal writer, a lover of the arts, and having a general fondness for literature. How else can I describe the stuff I busy my hands with outside the usual tapping on the keyboard and fiddling with the camera? I guess I’ve most of them covered. Notes Writing is my friend. [...]
One of the things I labour on doing is finding new places to explore, hence, experiencing something that edifies my life. Sunday night last was one good example. I got to experience a gem in the South, to be more specific, it’s located in West Gate, Alabang and the quaint little place is called Tandoor, [...]
The Oz Welcome Pushing a trolley laden with a set of luggage amounting to 60kgs (or somewhere close) became less taxing when I saw a beautiful family holding up a home-made placard saying “Welcome Lola & Tita!” walking through the airport doors. Now, that’s what I call a warm and love-filled welcome! I’ve always wanted [...]
I guess this is my way of taking full note of a new routine. I know it’s not uncommon for anyone to go to the movies on a Friday night, it’s just that this time around it weighs more due to certain circumstances that surround it. Welcome to one of the new series here at [...]
