Just live.

Hiiiii, so I haven't really gotten around to sorting out my photos in Taipei.  It might take a while since I've been preoccupied with everything that's been going on in my life.  I mean aside from my job and occasional meetups with friends and lunch/dinner with the folks, life just hasn't really been the same.  I haven't been the same, but then again this shouldn't really come as a surprise because everyone has the tendency to change.

Priorities.

Prioritizing has never really been my forte.  With that said, my stress level is always high up on the scale and I'm only in my mid-twenties.  Talk about being an adult.  Anyway, you might be wondering why I'm on this topic and my main purpose is to share my thoughts with anyone who reads this.  The past couple of years have been an emotional roller coaster ride for me.  I'm nowhere close to being an emotional wreck, but I must say I'm still clueless when it comes to choosing a career path.  My passion lies between travelling and writing (although I've never really had anything published before).

Farewell May!

A quick update!

Hi guys!  How've you been? I'm sorry I haven't been blogging as much as I should, but in my defence, I've been preoccupied with work and my personal life.  However, I usually update my instagram a lot (@ginnywanders) so you can follow me there if you like.

Anyway, I can't believe I'm saying this but I am enjoying my job as my childhood friend, Lia, has joined our company.  She's my new partner-in-crime and we couldn't be happier to have her on board.  My days are no longer filled with emptiness!  I don't go to work for the sake of going to work.  I'm so much more positive and motivated as well.

It's May!

Hello there wonderful people!  How's May treating you?  Mine's been pretty great except for the fact that I've been suffering from a bad cold/cough since Labour Day, so it's been a week now.  I'm not sure if it has something to do with the weather in Macau and the sudden changes in temperature (rain=windy/chilly; sunny=scorching hot).  Oh well, I should be used to it by now, but apparently my body isn't.  Moving on, I initially thought of posting this during Labour Day weekend but did not get the chance to do so.  I even thought of posting my "MAY Goals", but I never got around to doing it.  Instead, I'm sharing my photos I took in April with my phone.  It was a wonderful month, as it was mostly about food!  (Food=Wonderful life)

Hi there loves!  How's your week been so far?  Mine has been pretty great considering the fact that I spent the whole day in HK with my parents and my love two days ago (which I'll be sharing with you guys in another blog post) so I didn't have to come in to work on that day, yay!

But moving on, I wanted to share with you all what I did last Saturday.

Oh Happy Days!

Gone are the days when I had the privilege of sleeping at dawn and waking up in the afternoon.  Life as an adult is not as promising as it seemed to me as a student.  Well, what did I know then?  I haven't experienced having to earn for a living at that time.  And now, there are times when I wish I could go back to being a student who knew nothing of budgeting salaries and saving up as much as one can.  Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of perks that comes with being an adult but for once I wish I knew what to do with my life and it's not as easy as deciding what movie to watch or which restaurant to book for a dinner date.  It's more than that because you'll have to think way beyond and actually see where you want to be in the next decade or so.

Trés Cool

Care to join me for a cuppa? :)

 

Hi there loves!  Before anything else, I would like to greet you guys a belated Happy Easter and I hope you all had a wonderful time with your loved ones.  I'm still on my Easter break and I'm glad that even though I have a lot of assignments to do, I was able to hang out with one of my closest friends Jessmym.  The thing about hanging out in Macau though is that we have very limited options of places to go to which is why we always end up in Starbucks or pigging out somewhere surrounded by food stalls (at least whenever I'm with her).  Teehee!

Macau is a very tiny city, yet very fascinating although I tend to take it for granted given the fact that I live here, but often times when I'm with Jessmym, we tend to discover things and by that I mean art studios, cute clothing shops that are sooo out of the way, old buildings, etc.  I know I'm not an artistic person but I love art and more than that, I love photography.  I am so fascinated by how photographers capture moments, different sceneries and so on.  I am still learning how to use all the functions on my camera and hopefully someday, I'll be able to at least take really splendid photos. (Fingers crossed!)

What I'm wearing: Shirt: Forever21, HK | Skinnies: UK | Cardigan: MAPLE, HK | Shoes: Belle | Bag: Stradivarius |  

I had no intention of taking outfit photos because most of the photos we took were playful and so random, but I hope you like them and I thought the burgundy cross cardigan really suited the "Post-Easter occasion".  By the way, the weather hasn't changed and it's been more than a week already.  I hope Mr. Sun shows up very soon because I certainly miss being under the sun.

Oh and right after Jess and I separated, I met up with Carlos who wanted to get a drink from Starbucks which is why I had to there twice and that explains my title for this post.  I hope you all had a wonderful Easter!!  Till next post loves!

xoxo,

Nikon Boy and Canon Girl. ♥

Weekends are my favorite days of the week since that’s the only time I actually get to spend time with my boyfriend.  We went on our typical Saturday date where we had lunch at Galaxy Macau and ordered our favorite food fromPepper Lunch.  If you haven’t tried “Pepper lunch”, I highly recommend you do it’s just delish!  Anyway, I didn’t get to take pictures of our food because we had to rush since we bought tickets to watch Prometheus.  After having lunch, I had to rush to get some snacks for the movie wherein I got the jumbo classic fries from NYF.  Talk about pigging out.

I do not have much to say about the movie as I have no idea whether I liked it or not or I might have found it simply revolting.  First off, I’m not really a huge fan of science-fiction films, though the thriller part was awesome.  Overall, it wasn’t that bad though I wouldn’t watch it a second time.

       Mine and his (Camera love♥)

After the movie ended, we went to The Venetian which is just beside Galaxy.  However, we were too lazy to walk there so we took the shuttle bus and yes we're proud to say that we can be that lazy!  When we got there, I thought my bf would teach me how to use my camera, as in really teach me.  Little did I know that he would just tell me what those buttons were used for and that I had to try to capture shots on my own.  He told me that capturing shots are like a "trial and error" thing, therefore I'd need to capture shots again and again at times.  He also said that if I get used to using the manual settings, I'd eventually know what to do.  He brought his own camera, too and started clicking the shutter and it made me feel like we were on a different kind of date.  A "snapshot" date, that is.  Hence, the title.

The photos above were taken manually and I had to capture these photos quite a few times till they looked fine to me.  I still have no idea how the settings work, but hopefully I’ll be able to do better next time.

Entering the world of photography. ☺

I’ve been wanting my own DSLR ever since photography became a trend, and my boyfriend got his.  Anyway, I’ve always been fascinated by how photographers are able to capture such wonderful shots.  I mean it takes skill and talent and since I got my DSLR, I’m wondering whether I’d be able to learn to do the same.  I know it’d take time but till then, I shall be patient.  Lucky for me, I have my boyfie to teach me the basics. ☺

Post Anniversary Celebration ☺♥

My boyfriend, Carlos and I celebrated our anniversary the day after the actual date since he had work and I just had stuff to do.  Anyway, we met up later than the time we decided to and had lunch at Hard Rock Cafe.  I totally enjoyed the food but I was too full to finish most of them even though we shared.  That was one heck of an experience and was too bloated to even have dinner at night.  I’m not exaggerating, it’s true.  Anyway, we walked around the Venetian afterwards and he took me to the “Sands Cotai Central” and I found it really nice since it was my first time to set foot on that place since it opened.  I had a good time.  We spent the whole day together just wandering around until I had to go to work.  Bummer.  But oh well, I had a great day and even after he picked me up from work, he went to our house to watch movies and stuff like that.  I can’t think of anyone else I’d want to be with after everything we’ve been through.

What we had for lunch: Grilled Chicken Masala, Red White & Blue Burger, Tupelo Chicken Tenders and (I forgot the name of the drink)

Summer Wishlist ☼

Summer is officially here and recently I’ve been wanting to do a lot of shopping.  However, due to the fact that I’ve already been spending too much on other stuff, it’s just not possible to shop every time I go out, so I’ve to withhold myself from buying unnecessary stuff.  Anyway, I enjoy window shopping and looking at clothes online.  I have no intention of buying more clothes or shoes since I realized I have too many new clothes which I bought on impulse during my trips to Hong Kong, but I feel like I can’t help the fact that I just want to acquire what I see online or in shops.  The photos below are just some of the things I’d like to acquire.

I’ve been obsessing over oxfords or whatever they’re called and pretty floral and striped tops and I really wish I could have them as soon as possible before I leave for my trip.  Mush.room is a lovely local shop and I wish I could just grab everything.  ♥

Let's go on a date, shall we?

It’s been a while since my boyfriend and I hung out due to the fact that we’ve both been pretty tied up what with his intern still going on and me having to deal with my finals and school work in the last couple of months.  Anyway, I can just say that I’ve missed him a lot so we both decided to go on a “date”, not a formal one, that is.  It’s just one of those dates where we eat, and maybe watch a movie, then walk around which in my opinion is pretty special already.  What matters is that we enjoy ourselves which I can say we did cause we went to the “Galaxy Macau food court” and watched Men In Black 3 at the UA Cinema.  The movie was awesome by the way and I highly recommend it.  We walked around for a while after the movie ended until I had to go to work.  We didn’t get to do much, but still, I enjoyed myself a lot with my baby.
