In the conceptualization phase of my blog, the categories that I want to write about were: Adventure, Art, and Interior Design. I’ve already made posts for the first two, but none for the last one. Finally, after 4 months of “blogging”, I’ve compiled some photos related to ID!

Shangri-La, Boracay.
I already went and blogged about Boracay at thychronicles – the inactive blog that I made with college friends. You can read more about that here, here & here. But on my second trip, I took more photos with my phone and edited it on VSCOcam. Honestly, I liked my phone shots better than the photos I took with a DSLR. It looked a lot more uniformed. So I thought I’d share it here.

Beautiful pendant light.
I love the design of Shangri-La, Boracay. They used local materials (capiz shells, wood carvings), Philippine-inspired accessories and furniture for the interior and architecture of the place. I hope I get the chance to go back here again!
Note: Trip is sponsored by my aunt. I’m the fourth wheel to their family. Haha. Just want to give credit to that.
